Here's the Plan, Stan (or whatever you're calling yourself these days...)

So... I'm heading to HeroesCon on June 21st, and the current plan is to dress up as Chell from Portal 2.  Since it's just not in my nature to NOT aim way too high and attempt to overdo things within very snug time constraints, I'm trying to get some long fall boots and a cheap, passable portal gun built before then.  Here's a list of what I have thus far:

(1) Nothing.

Okay, that's a lie.  I'm starting with:

(1) A few supplies, like thrift store boots, papercraft shells for the gun, and about 1/10 the amount of fiberglassing materials I need

(2) An Aperture tank top, grey bike shorts, and an orange jumpsuit

... meaning that I have 12 days to get stuff done.  Also notable is that I work about 60 hours a week at two  jobs and don't have any days off except Sunday.  Oh, and now that I mention it, I actually don't have this Sunday off.  Alrighty, then.

Will I get my props built?  Will they look good, or like something ejected from a recently-deceased tauntaun?  Will I just give up in about two minutes and go take a much-needed nap in my Batman-themed unmentionables?

Find out next time, when I try to fiberglass the crap out of some pleather boots!
