Oh crap!

Damn I am trying to get a costume ready for con.

I didn't really want to spend much on this... but shit I just found the most awesome costume on Ebay...

Damn it it even has the Shako, which with everything else I would have to buy it separately. And it is a real movie costume so not some cheap flimflam. But can I really pay $200 for it...

Shit I SOOOO did not need to find this. It make all the other options look like crap. And I was already feel like an ass for not making my own, but I know I'm not skilled enough to sew that kind of coat.

I mean this is like the best other option and it looks like utter tripe now.

I had sorta been thinking of doing: this crappy one which is MUCH less expensive...

That I am! And my opinion is this: If you feel comfortable financially, then go for it. Be happy, and have a good time doing it! In which hotel are you staying?

I'll be in the Hyatt. Kind of lucked into it really, but a touch nervous as I haven't actually met any of my roomies.

Well I know you've never technically met me either, but if you ever need a place to escape cause those roomies turn out crazy, let me know. We are over in the Marriott this year! Wewt!
