I will be happy to pay Clover's mom monies if it equals out to cheaper airfare. Especially since a ride back from the airport to my place is going to be an extra $100 on top of that D:
P.S. I got an alley table this morning whooooooooooo

This now also begs the question: when should we book our tickets? We should probably book them together, or one person book them all, so that we ensure that we are all on the same flight, and not at opposite ends of the plane from one another (seriously, I've been on a flight with a group before where some of us were at the front, and some of us were at the back. Not fun). All three of us are going to be at AN. Should we take a couple minutes to book/chuck monies at someone then?

He messaged me tonight.
He is most likely not going, so don't factor him in.
Also, get your AX tickets now, so we can get badges on Thursday.
I should make another thread for this, but eh. We are going to need a new Ira. I mean... we can't have the 4 main characters without Ira!
EDIT: we're going to hang out UNDER Jones' table.. and jump out at unsuspecting VP fans. ^_^

Ah shit, we're going to require an Ira. Does anyone know anyone that's travelling down? If this was AN, I could list you like, five guys I could bully into Ira, and one I could bitch into being TJ. But this isn't, so I can't, and now I am sad.
Alright. I say we book flights closer to the date on the off-chance of getting cheaper deals---not to mention the simple fact that I broke until I get my job, which starts in may, so that's the earliest I'll be able to book anything. Is that going to be alright with everyone?
Also, I'm wondering if the Toronto group should have a meet up for costumes? It might help for the group-cohesiveness. I know for a fact that Spam and Trey are awesomesauce seamstresses, so we'll have to get the costumes to a relatively equal level of awesome, and I know I work best when there's a group. I am more then willing to offer my house, either one, for the war effort.
Opinions? I know everyone lives a little ways away, so it's something I'd like to start planning maybe in advance.

...Does that include me? D: I'll be fairly out of touch for most of May. Going to BC for a week, and then my friend is coming up to visit the week before AN. And in the meantime I'll be like... going out of my face drawing and catching up on work.
Yeah, booking in May is fine. I've got several plane trips to book over the next couple of months, and can't fit all of them on my credit card, lol.

I'd love to get together for costuming, since it'll keep me in practice, but it all depends on my job. If I'm stuck at Timmies again, I'm fine saying "screw you" for a weekend, and coming up to fight the battle against cotton and polyester. However, if I get the job I want at Stratford, they're already going to severely frown at the time I'm going to ask them for, so it wouldn't be a good idea to ask for more. ...double edged sword, here. I'm all for waiting until May on flight. I mean, it's not like every plane flying out there is going to book up. ...*knock on wood*

Aindel, don't you jinx us! *knocks on wood* And yes, Jonsieluv, that includes you.
See, the good thing about planning costuming WAAAY in advance is that there's bound to be, by sheer statistics, a day when we're all free to hang out. I mean, it's got to happen. It can't not. Ergo, we will just plan that day.
And I mean.. the vast majority of my costume involves styling that damned wig-- after all, it's not like Clyde's shirt is ever-so-difficult. >XD
So late-May early June it is. That also gives everyone a month of summer finances to extrapolate off of, to see if we can hit budget. Awesome. I'm also attempting to tempt Sigmarie to come up as well... we'll see how that goes.

PLANNING IN ADVANCE?! Are you kidding? I'm ridiculously behind. I've got three costumes to make, at least 10 dance routines to memorize, and teeth to order and test out before forcing you all to buy them.

Hey guyz, know how I said we'd have to cosplay VP day 2? My day 1 plans fell through, so VP day 1!!!!!!
Also means, I get to do something I really, REALLY want to do.

Whatever. It makes no difference to me what we're wearing when (yay alliterations!). I've only got 2 costumes, so the rest of the time will be t-shirts and pants for me.

Much the same. Okay. I got my schedule for the summer: Sun-Mon-Tues 7 am --- 7pm. I dunno how I go about asking for time off, but I should probably work a week or two before attempting it. But as of now, I think I should have the finances to muster it, wewt wewt.
Heee. I'm making my Clyde cossie, and Seras Victoria from Hellsing. >XD

Clover, are you also bringing Quistis with you? I'm bringing Selphie, but that's because it'll be the only non-vampirates-cosplay costume I own. *holds up right hand* I have never cosplayed before. Ever. Thus, my repertoire is small. Like, currently non-existent, until I get off my ass and start pattern drafting.
I start work on Monday, so I'll definitely have money. I work random days (always 5 days/wk, but my days off could be anywhere in that week), so I'm just asking for the 1st-8th off, so I have the time to pack, and get to Clover's the night before, and then time to re-adjust myself before I go back to the hellhole.

I started work and have got about enough to prolly pay for airfare by next week, ideally. The matter for me is booking off the days, but I figure if I book them off early enough, and if I book only the three off that I actually work, then that's my days-off-for-the-summer quotient.
Is three days off too much/unprofessional, during the course of a summer?
