Feeling sort of like one of the not cool kids
Everyone keeps saying how they are either not going to or limiting their limited classes. I have seen some mention of no classes to optomize their socializing. And I am over here "I want to take ALLLLLLL the classes". Maybe you are all light-years ahead of me in your costuming expertize and I really am not one of the 'cool' kids. :( A friend brought up that I it might just be because I am a differnt breed of costumer. I love cosplay and historical equally which means I want to learn everything I can about both, and there are more classes I am interested in then what just a hisorical costumer would be. But still... feeling slightly bummed. I love socializing with everyone. I missed it last year. Not sure why but the vibe was different. I got maximum visiting time with my roomies, (which of course is AWESOME) but so many of you are not roomies, because really, we just don't have the bed space for that kind of nonsense. Think pink princess party all the time. I don't know about you but this girls needs introvert recharge and sleep time! :)
So socializing IS a priority for me at CoCo. But learning is a VERY VERY close second. I get upset if I don't maximize that also. Its only once a year that I can be a complete sponge. While costumed socialized events only happen a handful of times a year, Spongelike learning for me is only once.
All that to say, while I am going to try and learn as much as possible I hope you guys will still love me and let me come join what ever shenanigans you are up to when I am out of classes.

I signed up for Mechanical wings, Resin casting, Needlefelting, Seamless lace garments, Leather Tooling, and Latice smocking classes. I know I won't get them all but I would be over the moon with the first two and happy with the rest. My #1 top pick that I NEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD to take overlaps with the class I am taking. :( I want to take the Worbla one SOOOOO bad. I was pouting for awhile. But now I think I am going to splurge on the how-to books I have been eyeing and come highly recommended.

I will happily give my # for texting for meet ups.

When the time rolls closer I'll get a round up of anyone who wants to share numbers for texting at CoCo, so we can all be in touch and know where the party is! I went to a costume thing recently in a big hotel, and I felt lost half the time because all the people I knew were scattered and no one knew where anyone was and I felt like I missed out on all kinds of stuff. It's a real fear for CoCo!
