Ooh, my brother gave me pictures from Anime North over the weekend. ^_^ Too lazy to upload and post everything right now but here’s a preview. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hikaruchan found some neat doors/Chinese paneling in the basement of the Doubletree when she went last year so we took some Twelve Kingdoms pictures near those. I should have suggested going over there with the PSOH group, too, but it slipped my mind. Anyway, I really like how the colors came out in this. ^_^ In the series, the kirin are raised by the nyosen so hikaruchan was acting as my servant in a couple of pictures.
Oh, and speaking of photos, I put up the ones I took of other people at Anime North: http://images.cosplay.com/gallery.php?cat=77647&member=10168 I didn’t get that many; it seems a bit hard to get pictures at big cons because it’s so crowded and it wouldn’t be good to block traffic. ^_^; I had to discard a couple, too, like a pic ofnovaraven’s Hellsing group which turned out to be completely blurred. (I didn’t realize it came out so badly at the time because my vision was already blurry from the contacts I had for D. ._.;) Still deciding on what to upload of the ones I’m in.
Called the optical place today and they have my hazel contacts. Will probably go pick them up tomorrow and fabric shop for the new costume. From the sample I tried several weeks back, I know the shade isn’t particularly yellowish but I’m hoping it’ll at least provide more contrast with the purple lens than the honey did. Not expecting them to pop out like wildly colored theatrical contacts since I’m going with more natural colors but I’d like it to at least seem like I have one light eye and one dark eye.
Watched the Tony Awards last night and it reminded me that I’ve been meaning to get back to theatregoing when I’m not so busy with costumes. There are a few shows from the past season I’d like to see.
“Curtains” – because I’m a mystery fan and backstage musicals are fun. :-D
“Company” revival – because I usually like Sondheim’s stuff. I have a copy of the cast recording from the original although I never liked that recording much. Having heard other renditions of some of the songs, I’ve realized that I like the songs and it’s the singers on that recording which don’t appeal to me. ^_^;
“A Chorus Line” revival – Several years ago, there was a little, short-lived musical that I loved called “A Class Act.” It used the late Ed Kleban’s songs to tell his life story, including when he collaborated with Marvin Hamlish to write the score for “A Chorus Line.” So, it might be nice to see his other work on stage. ^_^
They weren’t big award winners so I hope they’ll still be around for a while; there usually tends to be a slew of closing notices right after the Tonys by shows that didn’t do well enough. Guess I should go lurk on All That Chat (theatre message board) a bit over the next few days. If it's still like when I last lurked, some of the posters can be rather snippy o_o; but they do seem to get wind of news like closing notices pretty quickly.
