Well, the messenger didn't get shot...

But she did get conscripted!

I was peering thru the Capricon list of programming, on the off-change that there woudl be something I wanted to actually go do. I noticed that seamstrix was listed as doing a panel on "Creative Costuming". Those of you who read her LJ know that she left for England 2 days ago.

So I tossed off an e-mail to this effect to the head of Programming (Bernie) and she sent back "oops - guess that's why I hadn't heard from her. Do you want to do it? We have an awesome green room..."

(NOTE - this will be the first time I have done a panel at Cap, mostly because of their absurd comp membership policy. Most cons will comp you if you do 3 panels or more, but Cap will not. I refuse to pay for the privilege of working for a con. They can have cash, or labor - not both. But this time I get green room access for a very limited amount of work, so I think that's fair. I've already paid my membership)

So I'm doing a panel at Cap. 1 hour's work plus prep time for my weekend nutritional needs isn't a bad trade-off. Saturday 2-3. Be there and listen to me babble.

*tries to figure out what should be on a handout about 'Creative Costuming'*

maybe thats why I don't do many cons, I'm too cheap(broke) to give them cash, and very few people care to hear what I have to say. I'd love to do more but with travel and hotel costs I can't justify the price of admision and not being known well enough to be considered knowlegeable on subjects related I'm kindof screwed.

That being said here's the comercial part of my reply this year I'll be speaking again at Notacon (http://notacon.org/) in April it's cool if your a social geek.

I adore you, Wendy.

You go. Knock their socks off.

You're such a pip.

(i mean that in the nicest possible way, with a decided Wendy-twist to it, of course. *grin*)

You could talk about how Gold Lame' will do wonders when in a pinch.

Good luck. Keep a lookout for us if you get a chance? I don't know where I'll be other than attending the Firefly party tomorrow night.
