Progress

The red surcoat is coming along. I didn't spend as much time on them yesterday (I was hoping to finish both, but its moving slower than I expected, and we spent less time crafting than planned) but I should be done by the end of this week. Its a good thing too - we leave for DC a week from Thursday. Whee!

We picked up additional luggage at Building 19 yesterday so we now have a real set. Unfortunately we can't take up Tiamatlady on her offer to drive us to Logan next week because our stuff (*cough*, Brian's stuff) won't fit in her car. Ah well - Logan Express served us well before, they will serve us well again. My Mara Jade outfit should be shipped soon, so I'll have just enough time to get the leather bits altered. After DC I'll join the 501st (because I don't think there will be time to process it all before then). Its OK, I couldn't wear the Mara in the parade anyway, since she's not a movie cannon character (and I'm going to wear the Padme battle outfit there).

I forgot my umbrella today. I guess that's what 6 hours of sleep after seeing Alien VS Predator will get me. I like the Boston Common Loews, but think that $10.25 for a movie and $10.00 for parking is silly. Methinks I'll be sticking to the burbs from now on (I'm not *that* picky about seating or sound) :). If you do really like the Predator movie, if you buy the Predator I DVD there is a coupon to see AVP for free - definitely take advantage of it (though beware: you can't use it at an AMC theater).

Heh,

I'm a dummy . . . I was jumping ahead in August. DC is 2 weeks from Thurday. I kept thinking I was paying my tuition on Thursday, and that it was due at the end of the month (so I was thinking that the end of the month was next week). That makes me feel a bit better about getting things done :)
