Fabric shopping and performance planning

We met up yesterday for a bit of shopping and a bit of planning. Which sounds awfully lot more prodctive than it actually was.

We did manage to get some gray fabric in the perfect shade for Itch's and Bitch's uniforms and Maiju couldn't stop laughing at how masculine and fashionable my dear Bitch is. I tried very hard to figure out why Itch would be equally lame but you just can't top three shades of pink/purple and a furry epaulette. And a Farrah Fawcett haircut.

Afterwards we were supposed to get some food and plan our performance but we mostly just got food, watched a bit of Last Exile Fam, two episodes of BBC's Sherlock (which just happens to be the best goddamn TV-series ever made and if you've not seen it, you should) and coughed and sneezed a lot. We seem to have a magical talent of being sick at the same time. Or maybe we're just sick all the time, respectively.

In the end we did spend a total of 15 minutes or so actually planning our performance. And I'll probably have more ideas for it after tonight, since I'm starting iaido today and if there's even a slight possibility of doing a bit of fantastically pretty iaido-moves on stage, I'll do it. We also need magical cherry petals. Maiju has no say in this.

So yes, awfully interesting and terribly productive! I have a feeling I'm spending tonight and tomorrow re-doing some of Dios's props and on Friday we'll drive to Lahti (I promise to film all of the "Maiju missed yet another exit and is cursing like a sailor" -moments and share them with the internet) for Desucon Frostbite.

Photos and a con report (probably) next week! Have a nice life until then.
