Tomorrow volunteer registration will open for A-Kon 27 in Dallas, Tx. As I've done for the past few years, I'm going to be submitting an application to volunteer as a medic during the event. It's always a ton of fun, if exhausting and terribly wearing on my feet. I tend to stiffly stumble back to my hotel room at 4 a.m. and take a few moments to just sit down and rejoice in taking my weight off them. A-Kon is a yearly anime convention that (now) takes place in the Hilton Anatole of Dallas, and volunteering for a certain number of hours gets you in free for everything. Signing up as a medic means you're automatically in for all just because you're NEVER OFF DUTY.

Now I just need to get myself a black sports coat or something because we accidentally left my suit at the dry cleaner's for way too long... Oh yeah, there's a masquerade ball every year I rather enjoy messing around with creating citation cords or other decorations to make my suit a bit more fancy/fanciful. Always great fun. The friend I usually go with is apparently going to have a green dress this year so I'll need to make the secondary color of my cords green... Good thing I already have some green paracord! EDIT: Suit coat acquired! Yay for Goodwill stores!

And it all starts tomorrow!

Would anyone be interested in perhaps me posting some pics of how to make some legit-looking citation cords?
