I want to go to D-CON but I'm not sure I'm going to. My outfit isn't finished, I'm thinking of just spending the money i've saved to have some dental work done. I'm trying to get into acting and well, my smile could be better so I'm seriously considering just going for the dental deal.
I really would like to meet all of you this year.
I'd really like to go but things aren't looking good.
I still haven't finished the backpack. I still haven't made the axe. I still haven't figured out how to realistically attatch the shoulder armor and chest box to the suit without it looking 'loose' somehow.
I still need to add straps to the backpack and figure out how to rig it so they are hidden beneath the suit without it bulking up as well. I really love this group and really wan to be at D-CON but I don't want to be at D-CON with a half assed costume. I've put way too much work into the helmet itself alone. I want the entire thing to live up to the standard of the helmet I worked so hard to create from pretty much scratch, tearing it apart and rebuilding it a few times over. It's going to cost a bundle more than likely to send the pack through the mail to avoid security hassles when flying, and to have it sent back to me. It's already weighing a bit more than I had hoped and it isn't complete yet.
Yeah.. theres always next year I suppose and local conventions for me to go to so it won't be the end of the world but I would have really liked to have been there with you guys. My mind isn't made up yet. I may still go. I'm just not sure I'll be able to get everything set up with this suit in time. I have a Stormtrooper outfit and could just bring that but well, honestly I wanted to go to D-CON to hang with Joes not the 501st, as much as I enjoy being a part of that group I wanted to do something different for a bit .
I need to make up my mind before the price for a pass to D-CON jumps up to 80 or however much after July 15th.
70 I'll consider paying, 80 and up is just too much for me.
I wish I would have got the jump on things a lot sooner.
I just don't want any of you to think I'm not fully interested in this group or site if I don't show up.
Its a silly thought I know.
We'll see what happens.
