Getting ready for Baltimore again (Dr Who Con)
Clovispup and I are heading to the Dr Who convention in Baltimore next week. This will be our third con. This year I decided to put together a full costume. Since I am retired Air Force Reserves, I decided that a Unit uniform costume would be appropriate. Next year I may do Sgt Benson, but this year I am going to dress like the Brigadier. Got the last items a couple days ago, I know, down to the wire. Anyway here he is.
OK, I just looked at the picture and the Brig is not very squared away. Next time I will iron the trousers a little higher up, and pay more attention to the collar and the placement of the sweater. I failed to look in the mirror, since the light was fading and the sweater is hot. Anyway, it will give you and idea of what it looks like.
Also looks like the Brig needs to go on a diet. We used to call it the "Fat Boy Program" back in the day.
This looks a little more squared away. Notice the funky British open hand salute.

Re: Getting ready for Baltimore again (Dr Who Con)
Well, instead of heading to Baltimore today, I'm lounging around the house. Got an e-mail alert from Amtrak yesterday that my reservation had been canceled. Weather in the northeast is nasty today. Got rescheduled for Thurs. Con starts on Fri. Snow is supposed to stop later this afternoon. Hopefully all we will miss is one day of non-con.

Re: Getting ready for Baltimore again (Dr Who Con)
You got that right, clovishound. The northeast is again getting pounded by their fourth nor'easter....what a rough winter so many folk have had, and still are having. Weather reports I'm seeing today predict this storm carries a "dump of record spring snow!" Glad Amtrak has you safe at home and lounging. Hope everyone on our Forum living in the Northeast will stay safe, too.
Anyway, enjoy yourselves when you finally do get there.

Re: Getting ready for Baltimore again (Dr Who Con)
I was watching the reports for weather the last couple days, and yesterday I was starting to wonder whether to postpone the trip by a day. Since the hotel is very close to the train station, I decided to hold pat. Amtrak made the decision for me. Probably a good thing.
Clovispup and I talked last night and decided that we would still go if we had to miss the first day. Things don't kick off until late afternoon on Fri. The weather is supposed to be in the mid 40s tomorrow, so hopefully we won't have any trouble getting there.

The wooley pulley will be just the outfit for the forties. I hope you have a great time. Safe travels.
P.S. I'm moving this to the newly relocated travel area and I'm hopefully shadowing it here to.

Re: Getting ready for Baltimore again (Dr Who Con)
I saw the travel section disappear a while back. Didn't realize it had been moved here.
Well, they canceled today's train. Looks like we will miss the first half day. Neither Clovispup or I are happy about it, but the only alternative that wasn't north of $1200 was a bus trip, that both of us nixed. Crossed fingers that we will make this one.
We were hoping to get the midnight train tonight that would get in tomorrow morning, but it was full.
