Sunday, May 30, in which Angel kills herself gofering

[valarltd]

My 10-12 workshop: building a body-double had no attendees, so the "Bad Fannish behavior" panel got to run a second hour.

I grabbed some lunch, and headed for my 1 PM: costuming on the cheap. if i had to sum up that one: Thrift Shop! We talked about our favorite ways to cut back on costume prices. "Anyone with a big enough bankroll can buy the licensed stuff, but it takes far more ingenuity to see three sheets, some rope and a bit of glitter as a Greek goddess."

From 2-4 I worked registration. Why on earth do i keep letting myself get roped into Reg Desk on Sunday? Let me read some interesting comments. one lady thought MWC needs gofers on door duty to help people find bathrooms, panels etc, and to basically mentor folk who have come to their first con alone.

I checked on Bunny, who had fallen asleep and was late to her 3 PM panel. Snape scolded her for that, as it was the Students and Teachers panel. Snape inform ed me the child needed a "revivification potion." i held up my coke and said "I offered."

From 4-6 we played "Whose line is it anyway?" I got to be shot in a Hotel kitchen (political drama), mediate a sword duel (complete with bad dubbing when we hit martial arts movie) and generally play. Waldo and Spencer are great fun. Bunny does a pretty fair Ah-nold impression. i understand it went to 7, but I left at 6 to run vids.

I saw Demon Under Glass. Garret Maggart and Jason Carter! Oh man! I see why people write slash for this one. That DIP! But otherwise so very, very bad, utterly laughable dialogue. And an hour of movie trailers will exhaust anyone. Seed of Chucky, The Day After Tomorrow, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, A Series of Unfortunate Events and others.

Then I had to fool a bit with The Two Towers EE to get captioning and actor commentary running. Dom and Billy just dominate the conversation. Chris Lee has a wicked sense of humor and Andy Serkis is just cool to listen to.

I left halfway through to go to the Zine Reading Room. The Fan fund Auction went well. I read some zines. one had a Legolas/Gimli with an interesting premise but Weepy!Legolas and too many exclamation points. i didn't think 3000 year old elf-princesses were supposed to squeal like teenyboppers. I also gave up on a Starsky and Hutch story when a penis started "creeping up his belly." ooo, disembodied zombie penises!

Dragged in and packed a bit. Bunny too tired to undress, talked her into removing her robes. Watched some of my music vids while jkb collated zines. She thinks Mudd is a bit warped.
