I can't even find a picture of it right now for a reference. It's a blockish hard angle hard case, buckles and all? (and yes, in my day, cello cases were still blocky and hard angles) I think it'd be easiest (esp. on weight and walking around) to do it out of styrofoam, and then you can always mache the exterior (which means you can make your design on the top a little raised and paint it in) and color that. Or just use a flat color paper and draw on, but I think the mache with the raised part would be much cooler. I just wish I could find a picture of it to see what you're talking

MMmmm, good milkshakes... I must find this place as well. I may be willing to bring a few Staffers back some shakes... I'll make sure to pop in Spec Ops & ask before I go k? Oh & you all are giving me some great food ideas, I just might eat more this year than normal, which would be a good thing...

Just remember which family member died, so you don't repeat the same one dying the next year.

Nah. After looking at the Diablo 3 site, they didn't have near as much as what was on there. But I'll already state I'm going to have to be a witch doctor. That's just dang sexy. My concern now is how online play's gonna go. If it's goin to stick to the traditional way Diablo has always been played online, or if we're gonna get jacked and be pushed into WoW land.

Things to do before quitting work to come to Otakon: 1. Locate and pocket red stapler. 2. Check supervisor's office just in case there's any checks on the floor. 3. Speak to yourself and remind yourself that you warned them if they didn't give you some of the cake you could burn the building down. 4. .... 5. Arrive in Mexico. 6. Threaten to contact dept of tourism after putting strychnine into the gucamole. (This will be funny to people who know the movie. Really it will be)

Laugh. Cap'n Jack of Torchwood? I mean, he is the primary character that crosses over from the Doctor after all. I most definitely will need to get pictures of any Roses though.

whoa whats this about putting a dollar down your shirt? um, can I get some money thrown at me too? every year that i go to the con the beggers find new and creative ways to ask me for money - and it usually includes commenting on my cosplay first. but the beggers in baltimore dont bother me or make me feel uncomfortable - mainly because i've always lived in a major city. i just think that the baltimore ones are particularly slick.

Short of hopefully running into people I might know, I'm goin solo. And then likely throwing myself into staff like stuff as much as possible to occupy my time. Maybe I can make more friends with people who roam the streets of Baltimore at night too!

Inuyasha. It's personal, but it just annoys the ever loving bejeebus outta me. X/1999. When I used to make appearances at anime club meetings and found them playing it, I started to root through the snacks to find something sharp enough to dig my eyeballs out to stop the pain. Anything that has a card game tie in. Because really, the animation's going downhill more and more to the realm of the campy. I'll still watch Pokemon when no one's around to catch me sometimes, but all of the other ones are just irritating. That said, I gotta stand up for Hoshi no Koe. It was too short

Is it me, or is there anyone else hoping to see a cosplay of the new Dr. Mrs. The Monarch costume? Better yet, what non-anime related cosplays are we hoping to see here?

G4 covered that the other day. I'm still salivating. Unfortunately, it's on the same development schedule as Starcraft 2. "Whenever it arrives, it arrives. We commit to no delivery date!" *shakes fist at Blizzard* Teases.

Hah. Baltimore homeless folks are special. I just hope I don't run into the guy that put a dollar down my shirt last time I was there and kept running into the lobby of the Days Inn asking everyone where I was. I think when he threw the trash can in frustration was about the time I was thankful that I was hiding under people's chairs. He did offer to beat up anyone who gave me trouble over the weekend though. Thanks Goldfish! I think the mass populace are more entertained by the sheer peculiarity of cosplayers in public though. I cosplayed Rik Heisenberg, and while in line at Phillip's, I

Nom nom. Milkshakes. Wait. I can get a boysenberry MALT? Can I just hire someone to go over there and get me one every two hours or something? *laugh* Damn. Now I'm gonna have to find people to make friends with, just so I'll have someone to go find this place with me. Thanks. >.<

I took my son when he was 2 or 3 months old to a con I was staffing at. It was kinda fun to run people down with his stroller. However, since then I haven't taken him since, now he can understand what people are saying around him, and the fact that he'd get so hyper I'd be drug from one side of the building to the other. Oddly, I've never dated someone who was that into anime. (and congrats Moon. My mom's coming up on the end of her first full year post treatment free. :> )

Stock etiquettes for tipping: "At a restaurant: Offer up 15% to 20% of your total bill. Keep in mind that the amount you tip reflects the total price before any coupons, gift certificates, etc. Just because you get a discount, does not mean that your server did not serve up the full order. If you are part of a party of more than 8 people, you should offer an amount closer to the 20% marker, if not more, depending on the needs of the guests in your party. If, for example, one of your guests insists on getting the salad dressing on the side, extra bread, more water and no avocado, then you

So if I say I'm riding in on horseback that's on topic right?
