Well, it’s February, so I figure it’s time to set a meeting spot and time for the Lunar New Year event at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on the 10th.

Is 11AM okay for a meeting time? I figure it’s not really early but still early enough to get into the gardens for free. :-) I should be getting there by subway and going into the park at the Eastern Parkway entrance. Would people prefer to meet there or inside the visitor’s center? (map here: http://www.bbg.org/exp/maps/bbg_map_1000.html) I thought the visitor’s center might be better if everyone knows how to find their way around the park since we won’t have to wait outside if someone happens to be running late. If anyone else wants to come, let me know. Right now, I’m only expecting

shinei, maybe

xmemoryless (if she’s able to get the day off), and a guy who replied on cosplay.com.

I hope the weather is good for this thing. Even if all the event activities are indoors in the conservatory, it wouldn't be fun to have to go out in the rain or snow to get there. ^_^;

And to add to the subject of my previous post, the sewing machine really seems dead. My mother, who worked as a seamstress before I was born, looked at it and she couldn’t get the bobbin thread to come up either. It was a Kenmore that my mother got for $80 back in the ‘80s so we’ve gotten a good amount of use out of it; I’ve sewn all my costumes so far on it plus some other random clothes. My parents said we can go buy a new one this weekend but the delay in finishing the shirt is annoying. (Good thing this didn’t happen the week before a con!)
