There is a post on cap_ironman about con meet-ups if anyone is interested.
I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, possibly with Seanchai-in-Karkat-cosplay, possibly without.
Sadly, my brilliant Carol Danvers costume idea* is not going to materialize in time for this weekend (my sister won't be able to send me the stuff I need for it in time). Which means it's either my old Ms. Marvel costume, or, depending on how ambitious I feel and whether I can work it around the booth-sitting schedule** and figure out how to make the horns stay in place properly, my Gamzee Makara costume (quick "can't work the face/body paint" back-up plan: wear a green t-shirt and the horn headband and say I'm Andrew Hussie).
*One of Sarah's old flight suits + fake patches with Carol's name on them = comfortable, non-revealing fighter-pilot!Carol costume. Which can then be modified into a Hal Jordan costume or a Gate-verse SGC or SGA costume simply by changing the fake patches. I feel amazingly stupid for only thinking of this last week - my sister and I used to use our Dad's old spare ones for everything from Halloween costumes to home-made snowsuits.
**Once the non-water soluble body paint goes on, it's not coming off without a shower and copious amounts of rubbing alcohol - even skipping that part and just doing the facepaint with greasepaint means I'm committed to Gamzee-face for the rest of the day. And I'm not sitting at a booth dressed like the bastard love child of the DCU's Trickster and a Juggalo.
