When Barb came home, I told her. Her words to me were "well if anyone deserves something that nice, it's you".
I cried. I'm a pansy.
You know who you are. And I can't begin to thank you enough.
I've been tapped to do the facade design and construction this year for CONvergence.
The theme is Creature Feature.
So yeah. Kind of up my alley.
I will be needing help for some of the construction. I have in mind several props that go along with the theme, and I'll be having a few "building parties" starting sometime this winter, probably after the big holiday crunch. Most likely in the Big Basement of Doom (an annex of the Big Broken Box™), but possibly in other locations as needed.
As in years previous, I'd like to keep the design and concepts kind of hush-hush until the con. It's much more fun for the genpop when you see it for the first time and know nothing about it.
I will very likely be creating a filter for those of you here who are interested in helping out (and who can keep a secret) to try and coordinate as necessary. It will be a little tricky since some of the folks I've already tapped aren't LJ-enabled, but I think I can handle it somehow.
And now to plunge ahead with reckless abandon...
