If you missed the earlier Geeklife post and any Facebook conversation going on about it, well, you'd better be getting your costume act together. The party's Saturday night at my place. Write me (dave at woot) if you don't know where I live or how to get there. I'll have some public crappy beer and chips, but feel free to bring good beer and/or appetizers.
I like to keep the specific costumes a secret, but I'm interested in a) how many costume ideas did you go through before you came up with The One and b) how hard was it to gather the things, build the parts, and get the costume together?
Barbara and I spent an evening at the Royale brainstorming through all the books we could think of. We narrowed it down to a half dozen possibilities that seemed fun, and then applied the "is it available at Target/Johnny Brock's/Schnuck's" filter to come up with our final designs. I'm going to go truly last minute and put the final costume together on Saturday afternoon, so we'll see how all that works out. You?
