I had a good time despite the tons and tons of stress caused by other people. i had hundreds of pictures taken of me too. I've cut kilroy off from friendship forever. you know what you don't do to a friend? you don't BEG them to be in your hotel room, then promise to pay them, then drop out of the room a week before, promise to pay anyway, then when he comes to collect the money you tell your mother that he's threatening you; lock him out of the store you live in ( and smell like hell because you never bathe, put on deoderant or change clothes.) then threaten to call the police on him. for those of you having confusion: that him is me, and you, in that little example is Kilroy. he's scum. after all that i did for him, he stabbed me in the back like that. i drove him all over the freakin' place. I PICKED HIM UP FROM THE AIRPORT AFTER MIDNIGHT! I'm through being aggrivated by him. i had about ten people drop out of my hotel room. from now on, if people want a room, they give me 100$ in advance and i'll put their name on my list. if they drop out, i'mkeeping the money so boohoo for them. if they don't give the money ahead of time they don't stay in the room. I grew like half a dozen gray hairs because of all the stress. then there was the expense and time consumption of my costume, blah, blah, blah. i still had a good time at otakon, and it's still my new year.

I had an experience like that at Metrocon, but it wasn't nearly as bad. It was still costly and drama-causing though, as well as dangerous.
So I feel your pain, buddy.

every year lately for Otakon I have huge stress and more and more of my hair turns white. some of it still is white. though it's barely noticable. next year will be different. people who want in the room pay ahead of time. they also pay food ahead of time. if not then i take it out of their room fee that they paid ahead of time. i do all the shopping ahead of time. including bedding and communication devices. food comes about a week before the con depending on how perishable it is. possibly sooner or later. all costume work will be done more than a month before the con. any other considerations ( other people's costumes will immediately lose priority if my stuff isn't done. ) and money matters will follow a strict budget ( assuming i have enough to budget )

Sounds like a good plan. There's no reason you should have to stress yourself out so much just because other people are retarded.

I've had to stop making costumes for other people (for awhile, at least) cause none of my stuff was getting done. That's the reason my Temari fan isn't done yet.

XD I don't get paid either. I've paid for people's costumes in entirety because they couldn't afford it. Ah well, they enjoyed the costume.
And no, no work's been done on it.
