How much cash do I have to provide you to document your experiences at CanCon

idk but three day entry as well as the trek card game is looking like it will be at least 30 bucks

i think this would have pretty big documentary potential actually

like i don't know shit about cancon

it's a huge mystery and their website is pretty unintuitive

so i will be venturing into the unknown which is pretty exciting right

lots of interview potential as well yknow

ask people about their views on fedoras

Yeah, there's a lot of "interesting" people at Cancon. Lots of old guys re-enacting Market Garden, trying to do better and such.

To save money, bring food. I have a car powered kettle for making cup noodles.

guys i think this is actually really promising

i will keep you updated

when is cancon

26th through to 28th

I keep thinking you're talking about cancun, or some enigmatic Canadian conman

hey phant what if i told you that i would not only document my experiences at cancon

but also getting prepared for cancon by amping up the nerd cred

I will thus be unable to join the Gands cheer squad. I was going to get shirts printed and everything

hey does anyone know how to use make-up to create a pallid complexion

Why bother with expensive make up when you can just stay in your basement for a month?

look there are a couple of directions i could go with this

one of them involves me becoming really gross

how committed am i to my artistry

we don't have that kind of time okay

goths use white cream-based foundation and brush a white powder across it to get the bone-white look, so if you can find some pallid-skin foundation or apply white foundation lightly and thinly, you should be able to get the good ol' "blind cave fish" complexion going.

if you don't know how to apply foundation, i may have to talk you through the process over the phone.

please please please put that on the doco

hmm well without giving away too much of the movie magic i guess there are two ways of going about this

a) my character is originally the nerd antithesis and through circumstances partially brought about through the folly of man becomes the pallid fedora he despises

b) the character is played fairly straight throughout and does not become one of the cancon people but in fact tours the place and interacts with them for his own somewhat mean-spirited amusement

so if it's b) we could put the phone call in

a) would be logistically more complex with costumes and makeup and also i'm not sure if i want to give up shaving

this is pretty fun you guys i've got a brainstorming paper going on and everything

do people dress up at cancon ever?

is there that sort of existing context to goof around in?

no, the most you'll get is a guy wearing a shirt with a tank on it

holy shit zabs

You might need to do another crowdsource funding thing for this

what sort of mean spirited amusement were you planning?

i don't quite know yet without being there, nothing actually antagonistic i don't want to be a jerk

a lot of it will be my own manufactured uncomfortableness i think

i'll probably just try and have an ineptly fun time

tbh i've been focused more on the pre-con stuff

i thought maybe i'd try to trade some hideous custom warhammer figure i've mushed together out of my old stuff

i now have what i feel is a more positive and narratively legitimate direction (bakustra i will take you up on that phone call) and so inspired was i for this project that i have created a teensy camera stand



i mean right now it doesn't do much more than if i put the camera on a stack of books but i feel it has room for future development

I feel like there's some kind of symbolism in this picture, but I can't quite put my finger on it : (NSFW)

Also, Phant, I think there's an option with PHPBB that let you set a number X of pages / posts after which topics gets automatically locked and a new one with the same subject is opened.
