Some pics, no commentary :(

I've started a write up of UTR, but it's getting long, and I'm tired, and I still have photos to edit, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow for the blow by blow account! I had a fab time though, in spite of the heat and the bug bites (26!!!!!!!) and really miss all of my costuming buddies :'(
Anyway, I have managed to get the pics up onto photobucket, here they all are, completely unedited so be prepared for a fair percentage of fuzzy and gloomy pics too :D

Now, who can enlighten me as to the hows and whys of Costume Con? The web site is not very clear. Not that this means anything! Although, I have found out it's at the end of my Easter holiday ... and I would appear to have made a tag for it...

I'm tempted by Con next year too because I've never been to that side of the country and know lots of my east coast friends will be there, which is the biggest appeal. I'm not sure I'm going to make it though, since I've decided to focus on my studies next year and finish college :/

If I remember correctly, memberships were about $80 (I bought after the early discount date) and classes were pretty vague until about a month before when they pinned down times. I didn't like that part of it, but each Con (as I understand it) is run by a different group of people from the city it's being hosted...so this year's Con may have been set up differently than any previous, and I would guess the cost could be different too.

It never occurred to me not to pay for a membership, so I can't tell you if it's required.

Yep, seeing my friends again is the big pull, and when you add shopping in New York...!!!
Thanks for the insight, it's such a tough decision :)
