Originally, I wanted to leave my house around 6 pm on Wednesday. Ha. Didn't happen. I think I ended up leaving somewhere between 10:30 pm and 11 pm because I was having an anxiety attack over the turd of a scythe I had. I ended up just wrapping the thing in silver fabric to cover up all the crap. My first one turned out fine, but the second one.. was just a disaster.
Friday I was excited for Friday because I was planning on debuting my new Kabutops cosplay! I got into the cosplay no problem and off we went to Day 2 at Colossalcon.
On top of this, I almost passed out twice. I think it was a mixture of heat, dehydration, not eating, and my shoes completely ruining my feet. I got a piece of pizza and a diet Coke to get some food in me, but ended up completely snapping off my chest plate in line because I had to sit down (before I fell over). It was awful. I did my one CMV shoot (that was so much fun - I can't wait to see the final result) and then contacted my second photographer to ask if we could move the shoot forward. He was amazing and so accommodating - he shot some of my Kabutops on Friday and some of my Sith on Saturday to make up for missing part of the shoot on Friday. I'm SO EXCITED to see the Kabutops pictures. What he showed me were fantastic. I went back to the hotel, ate, and changed into my sith to meet up with some more friends and hang out for the rest of the night (now that I felt better). We ended up making friends with another Star Wars cosplayer (a Mandalorian, to be exact) and enjoyed hanging around with the crazy drunks that plagued the Kalahari on Friday night. Got back to the hotel around midnight/1 am and crashed hard. Saturday I just wanted to do chill on Saturday. The plan was to wear Kabutops again and then change, but after Friday, the last thing I wanted to do was get into Kabutops again. So I got dressed in my swimsuit/vacation sith and went off to meet up with some friends (new and old) for a day of chillin' and drinkin'.
So - I was staying on the floor of my friends' hotel room until Saturday night because some other friends and I got another hotel room. I went back and packed up my stuff before heading to the new hotel. First thing to go wrong: it was bike week and the parking lot was FILLED with bikers who were drinking and partying and revving their engines and being really loud and obnoxious. Whatever. I was upstairs and with the door closed and the A/C on, you couldn't really hear them too badly. I got a much-needed shower and sat down to play some Warcraft while I waited for other people to show up. No internet. Apparently at this hotel, Apple products don't connect to the internet. Great. I decided to watch T.V. instead. Nope. Didn't work. The lady at the front desk came up to fix it - she was SO nice and fixed the T.V. no problem. I can live without internet if I have T.V., plus it was like 10:30 pm and I was about ready to sleep anyway. Then I get a text from the people I was supposed to be sharing a hotel room with. They're not coming. Everyone bailed. So I'm left alone in this damn hotel room. I was so upset that I cried for a good 30 minutes before just packing up all of my things and driving the 4 hours to my parents' house. It was awful. I'm still exhausted from it. The most expensive shower I've ever taken... So what did I learn from my weekend at Colossalcon?
I feel like I was a bit of a butt during the con because of things that happened. I feel bad because the con was great and a lot of fun, but things were happening out of my control and it was just seriously affecting my attitude.
