HELLO THIS IS ONLY OVER A WEEK LATE (and no promises about the rest of the weekend lmao) BUT HERE WE GO!!!

Started the day strong by skipping class, running a million errands, and desperately trying to finish cosplay in time!!!!! Liz worked from home for the second half of the day to keep me company while sewing and I managed to conquer the difficult part of Knives's sleeves~~~ I was so fucking tired but I did it :D

Anyway!!! Pat picked Elio up on his way home from work and brought him over, so he finally got to meet our kitties (which was exciting). We did some more sewing and packing until finally heading out (around 7:30-ish, aka way earlier than usual for us lmao). We did end up packing a sewing machine because Knives and Legato weren't done yet. Between props, costumes, food for the hotel room, and four people, our car was packed. Thankfully, it's only an hour drive, so we made decent time in a cramped space XD

Actually getting checked into our hotel room and getting our luggage up was another thing entirely...WAY more people show up on Thursday of katsu nowadays, and we weren't even at the con hotel; we were across the street. After a hellish wait and a fight for a cart, we did eventually get into our room and unpacked......however. We were on the 10th floor and only one of the elevators was working. I still had optimism at this point...I had hope that they might fix it before the weekend was up. MY MISTAKE.


there was a really funny notice at the front desk, tho XD the ghost of homestuck never truly leaves
We ended up heading over to the Gaylord to pick up badges, which ended up being a whole fiasco since Liz & Pat had to get panelist badges. Basically no one knew where the fuck to go for them???? We did eventually figure it out, but it involved a lot of running around after I was already wiped from multiple late nights of con crunch. It was so nice to back, though. Every year, Katsucon is a huge pain and stressful and etc etc etc, and I still keep going back because I love it despite all that ;w;

uhhhhhh we went back to the room and ate.......lunchables??? I don't remember us getting an actual meal, tbh. I was so fucking tired at this point, and we still had sewing to do. The rest of the evening was such a blur, and we had to wake up relatively early to get to Liz & Pat's panel.


good night from Knives~~~~~~
