Just signed up for Costume Con 2008

Yup, you read that right, 2008. I've never been to a convention of any sort before (other than for work, which is an entirely different thing ;-) ). I've been hearing about this for a while now, so to avoid working on my stupid report for a few minutes I checked it out and signed up.

Costume Con 2008 is going to be held April 25-28, 2008 in San Jose, at the Double Tree hotel (same site as 12th Night 2006, I think). I paid for the full weekend ticket, and I'm planning on getting a hotel room so I can retreat when I need to. My hope is to take classes and learn something new. I also have high hopes for vendors. :-) I hate competition of all sorts, so I'll stay away from all that.

Part of me is kinda intimidated -- I cringe at the idea of being judged (assuming I wear stuff I've made). But I would like to stretch myself and try to learn new things that I can apply.

So, anybody want to join me? :-)

It certainly sounds like fun. I'll have to check the schedule a little closer to the date. Not that I don't usually plan this far out, but I've been getting a lot of curve balls over the past couple of years.
