Thanks and a Cosplay Question

[joyeuse13.livejournal.com]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my survey! I have to say, you are the best data pool a sociolinguist could hope for--if I ever decide to go for my PhD, it will be your fault. :)

(Click Here to Take Survey, if you haven't answered and would like to.)

Quick question for cosplayers: if I wanted to find THE definitive, authoritative source on the subject, where would you send me? The unquestioned authority on all things cosplay?

Update: The source has to be something I can quote in a paper. :)

Pregnant Wife

[on3hop3.livejournal.com]

We had so much fun at last years D*C08, but it seems there's a bit of a problem, My wife is in her pregnancy and was wondering if anyone had any great tips for pregnant women who attend the con, anything to keep them happy without the hurting (walking around too much). I'm open to any ideas and opinions. She's so excited, she didn't want to miss this years con because of the guests they have this year. It's a good thing I was able to reserve a room last year for the hyatt this year.

Thanks Guys.

Just FYI:

www.swatdc.com is our feeble attempt at a webpage...but it does have the TENTATIVE schedule (always subject to change and containing unconfirmed guests) as well as the place to find us all over the web, including our Yahoo discussion group! (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWatDC)

Now, who wants to refer us a panelist or 12 and/or be on one? Please e-mail broatsey@gmail.com and/or swatdc@dragoncon.org if you know anyone :)

Does anyone have tickets for sale?

[like-the-dead.livejournal.com]

I really want to go to D*C as I haven't been in a couple years but money is tight and I have a cheap hotel situation if I can just find a ticket. Did anyone buy one way back when that needs to sell for 50 bucks or less??? Thx.

I also have three swords that I am selling that are not on ebay yet.  If you will be at DragonCon, I can give the sword to you personally there and there will be no shipping.  If I get no takers in a couple of weeks, I will put them up on eBay after researching shipping costs and put a new post up here.  Paypal only please.  You can see the swords here:
