Man, I’m not dead. I swear. I’m just exhausted.

Things are slowing to a reasonable pace now, and I think I’m going to be allowed to breathe again for a while. First off, the Borrowers is up! Oh man, does it look pretty, too. I haven’t been able to sit in the house and watch the show, but I’ve seen it on the greenroom monitors and I can only imagine how the kids must love seeing the giant screwdriver come through the borrower’s home. They laugh, they cry, they throw up. This one’s going to be a success!

Also behind me now was the ever exciting Connecticon! I hear that the webcomics auction went very well- Mookie, sold for $200, and Hawk went for $350! I am told that Hawk himself bought Trish, and I have to admit that I am totally jealous. I however, couldn’t be at the auction. I was busy setting up a little surprise for the Mookster. You see, one of the things that people do at these conventions is called cosplay. The simplest definition is it’s like Halloween in a convention center. Well, when Mookie returned to his table after the auction, one of his characters, Grench, was waiting for him.

I think he was pretty pleased, don’t you? This was of course, the surprise I mentioned last week. I say, I don’t look half bad green like that! Here’s a shot from the dress rehearsal- those tusks were killer.

I loathed that wig. It went in the trash as soon as I was back at the hotel- if I do her again I’ll buy a really good one. Also, the green paint, while it came off beautifully for the most part, kinda clung to anything that was really dry. Like the calluses on my hands. And my cuticles. I’m green in spots! Jaundice! Oh noes!

I also have some FO shots for you of the camisole, but I’m afraid that my brother has run off with the camera, so I will have those soon! I promise! Wednesday! I cross my heart.
