Top Sekrit!

I know what I want to do for my next big costume set: I'm getting a group together to do The Marauders! Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs. Not sure if it'll be for laffs or not... but a biker gang of those animals with leather "Marauders" jackets would be so cool! Or maybe in Hogwarts uniforms in mid-change. I'm jazzed!

You had to spark my interest. I spent yesterday morning upgrading a motherboard whilst listening to the last two CDs of the Prisoner of Azkaban audiobook. Doing a morphic Marauders group sounds like a great idea, and it's got appeal beyond the furry community.

I'm curious who else you've got involved, and where you might be showing these guys off at.

That's one of the things that appeals to me about this set: I could show it at sf cons as well as general-public type events. I think it would be kind of lost at a furry con. I guess a lot would depend on the direction of the design.

I'm not sure if I would do this for this year's SDCC: I don't think there's enough time to do four heads and two bodies. I'm thinking next year's Costume Con, Worldcon, SDCC or Norwescon. I'm talking to some folks I know from sf masquerades. A couple of them are good at sewing people-type clothes and such which could be useful depending on the take we choose (ie, just animals or animals-in-Hogworts-clothes).

I don't know if you have email notification turned on; I forgot your email address.

I'd been pondering doing this kind of project too, and we have almost all the suits already. Thing is would be kind of smaller scale. I haven't even asked anyone else about it yet, since I wanted to talk to you about it first.

It'd be for a local appearance coinciding with the release of HP 5 -- in three weeks. I'm not certain it'll even happen-- Trying to arrange a character appearance of simulated characters like this in the non-furry world just sounds... difficult. I'll tell you more later.
