gilanaHad a great time at Arisia. I've been feeling a little isolated lately, what with not working and all the nasty weather, so it was really nice to have so much quality time with so many great people -- not to mention all the cuddles!.
I ended up wearing six different costumes over the weekend*, and every one of them was much admired, often by strangers. I got to perform with the Naughty Nurses and PMRP, and the audiences loved them both (thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel for giving the Narrator such a great chance to ham it up!). I got be one of the hosts of an amazing party, spend hours at said party cuddling and catching up with an old friend, get some much-needed backrubs, and eat cotton candy at the Skank circus party. I danced my feet off at the Steampunk Vintage Dance, stayed up until 4:30am drinking amazing whiskeys with technofandom, and walked the labyrinth. I sang along with Doctor Horrible and Buffy, and had my voice appear at the masquerade without me even having to be there. And I even made it to a panel for a change!
Sorry I didn't get to see everyone I would have liked, or make it to all the readings and parties, but man, it was a full weekend. Hope everyone else had fun too!
*In case you're curious: union suit for the children's hour pajama party, silk chemise and satin robe for the adult hour, naughty nurse outfit, sexy witch for Zig Labs Hallween party, Red Shift tux and mustache, and steampunk outfit complete with mini-top hat for the dance. That's not including the carefully-chosen geeky t-shirts I wore the rest of the time. Now I just hope some of the pictures people took turn out well!
