Gundampilotspaz Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Gummy wanted to go too, we just need to figure out transpiration and if we are staying. Just Saturday is fine by me, I hope they'll publish the schedule before the event. They didn't last year. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 http://www.connecticon.org/ yea im going Link to comment
Poophy Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 I think that I may have figured out how to make a pen-pen costume… 1) I make a frame out of chicken wire 2) cover the frame with fabric 3) spray foam on the fabric 4) cover the foam with fabric made to look like penpen 5) put on detailed stuff(the backpack/name plate, the red hair above the eyes) 6) remove the frame I don’t know how I could do the feet ( I might get away with modifying a pair of flippers if I can stand walking in them…) or how to make it so I could see through the eyes, and not die from the heat (after all I plain to make it out of stuff meant to be used as insulation, so it will be quite hot in there unless I can figure something out..) Edit: also how to get in and out of it Edit: I could probably do some weird thing were I cut the foam in the back and put a zipper there, and then use the backpack to cover it up… Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I don't understand cosplaying unless it's in something that is comfortable to wear. Wearing a chicken wire penpen costume will be hot as hell and make your day suck. Link to comment
Poophy Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 the chicken wire would be removed before wearing, but the hot as hell part still remains Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Also the annoying people coming up to you for pictures while your trying to have fun part. Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Also the annoying people coming up to you for pictures while your trying to have fun part. That is part of the fun Link to comment
Siendra Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 That is part of the fun It really is. As for the heat issue, go buy a cheap portable fan or two at the dollar store and tape them inside the costume blowing air up toward you. That's how some people I've met have gotten around that.

GummyBearOfDoom Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Why dont we make this sorta like an AE meetup for the guys from CT? Any people willing to make the trip can come and meet up with us also, like bordering states. Link to comment
Artie Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 anyone know where I can get a red trench coat? Link to comment
J-Stop Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 anyone know where I can get a red trench coat? Anywhere you can buy them at. Check some local thrift stores and salvation army locations, too. Link to comment
Poophy Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I have come to the conclusion that even if I could make a good penpen costume in time (something that im not sure of), I could not enjoy wearing it with out having the ability to take it off if it gets annoying. If I ever go to something like this and get a room, I will make a awesome penpen costume Link to comment
Artie Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Anywhere you can buy them at. Check some local thrift stores and salvation army locations, too. well that's the problem. I don't know where I can buy them at. I was thinkin of the thrift shops, and I didn't even think of the Salvation Army. Maybe I can find one at the goodwill Link to comment
Gundampilotspaz Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ok everyone, a room at the closest hotel will cost $250, so with at least four people it should be a good investment. Who is officially in? Also, if transportation is still a problem the train will take us without eight blocks of the hotel and convention center Next year I'll be able to take everyone, but this is what we have for this year.

Gundampilotspaz Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Only four people in a hotel room? At PAX last year we split one twelve ways. At least four to make it economical , I was unaware that you were allowed that many people in one hotel room though... that would be nice. Link to comment
Artie Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 well I'm goin up on friday, comin back that night, then goin back up saturday, and then comin back and so on. At least it's my friend's gas being wasted and not mine! :hardgay: Link to comment
Poophy Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ok everyone, a room at the closest hotel will cost $250, so with at least four people it should be a good investment. What hotel, the Marriot (the one attached to the convention center)? And is 250 per night or in total? Link to comment
