I am weak...

Peer pressure is one of my weaknesses. So I've registered for PAX this year. Although Freezepop and Jonathan Coulton had a lot to do with me signing up.

I didn't know Angelina's new child required registration... ;)

Well with the idiots we have in the government now...

If you could have someone do these basic measurements on you and email them to me at ces0008@yahoo.com

Also, one measurement from the place where your neck meets your shoulder to the tip of your shoulderblade...also the hollow of your neck to the widest part of your belly.

Please don't think any of these measurements will embarrass me, btw. I've done all kinds of measurements on all kinds of body types. I have even tied men into corsets to give the illusion of cleavage ;)

I'll go get some tape and have the measurements done this weekend.

Measurements sent. I'm not worried about embarrassing you. I'm worried about embarrassing me. ;)

Also, I think I have decided to make a mock-up in muslin, to make sure it fits, before sawing into the brocade/satin etc. So if the first thing I send you is butt ugly, no worries! Its just a way of doing a fitting from afar ;)

No worries. I might be a guy, but I know the difference between muslin and brocade. ;) (I used to be married to a quilter.)

Jonathan Coulton

A friend who likes Jonathan Coulton and is one of the volunteers for PAX says that he doesn't think Coulton knows what he's signed on for. Barret claims that Coulton can probably expect a good 5,000 people to actually show up for his concert, easy.

Sounds great, but it might get awfully crowded.

No better time to get ready for it. Trial by fire and all!
