We have a discord channel with gathering info; it’s also a friendly community! discord.gg/JTZGmyfeN
The “Scions General” thread (each day has a theme but not required) has a shot lists that you can reference if you need to step over to the fountain between shots.

There are also small lounge spots on lower level behind the escalator like this one

Additionally, the lower level of the hotel has this nice indoor fountain that reminds me of Ul’dah

We’ll be doing a big cosplay gathering outside Saturday at 10am, before the hall opens. The fountain nearby is a great spot for small groups and solos!

For context, I’ll likely be in Sphene on Saturday since she’s the new costume and that’s when I’ll be at my table.

Sunday I’m staffing cosplay contest, so I prefer to be a “friendly” character that is simple to wear. Most folks won’t be seeing me until the gathering unless you’re in the contest.

And then last night Tyler says she plans to bring Tseng, Ethen responds he’ll bring Reno, and then I ponder if I should bring Rufus 😂

That might be too much. I think in the end I’ll probably do my symphony fit Hythlodaeus.

To be continued

We are less than two weeks away, and I’m still indecisive about my second Gateway costume. Been leaning towards Hythlodaeus, but then a tiny voice in my brain tells me to bring G’raha (again)

Someone's about to be caught in the forbidden section of the library again... 💦

Things got real busy this past month, and I also fell into a bit of a creative slump. I think being home this weekend will be good for me.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
