lol. That sounds about right!

Well, fortunately for me, I've got a high turn around rate. Crafty stuff I buy doesn't stay put for long. My fabric turns into costumes and my yarn becomes Jayne hats and gets shipped far away. The problem I'm having now is finding space to store my D*C hats and my leftover fabrics. The grands leave on the 26th for an Alaskan Cruise and you better believe the minute they leave the suitcases are coming out and packing is going to begin!!

I am not looking forward to the packing! I managed to get all the wife's armor into one ex-military monitor crate (heavy!), but while the rest of the costumes are mostly in one place, they are still not packed...we have plenty of time!

Besides the costumes, I have a giant list of things I must bring. I'll be packing more for D*C than I will for my trip to England!!

Someone has to remind the costumers that they also have to remember to take their toothbrushes and stuff along with all the props, costumes, and hoo-hahs! Thank you for that!

And DEODORANT!!

The most important thing to bring of all.

Ugh, I can't stand Con Funk.

People smell bad.

I have a sandalwood fan that I am bringing to carry in the parade, but I think I will have it on me at all times so that I can fan myself and smell sandalwood instead of BO. Like women used to do with nosegays and scented hankerchiefs and whatnot.

Hmm. Good point. May have to borrow some of the wife's "smell good stuff"... I would hate to offend the olfactory senses of my fellow Browncoats!

I'm not worried about you or the other Browncoats I associate with. What I'm worried about is most the unwashed gamers who lurk wherever the games are and can't seem to be bothered to take 20 minutes a day for personal grooming. And then, being crammed into elevators with them.

Or the people that wear the same costume for 3 days straight, so it gets all funky and sweaty.

Those are the people I'm worried about.

Ah, I see where you are coming from. The only costume I plan on wearing more than once is Mal...and I'll probably smell like leather...so I'll try to stay a distance from you. Beyond that, my cotumes will smell of either clean or steel, copper, leather... but no BO. Can't abide that either.
