25 km bicykle race... well leisurly ride at any rate
My moms boyfriend had called for us to join the Herlev around bicykel race. social race for a good cause (the entrance fee goes towards charity)
The ride is around 25 km, the trick is Brix (as the guys names is) doesn't really see it as a race and more a social event, with lots and lots of drinking breaks along the route. But it did sound fun.
So I got up disgustingly early for a day off and went to his appartment to met with him, my brothers' father and a few other people. where we started the day with a "bitter" yuck.
And there off into the windy and rainy morning of mid May.... where the fuck is that global warming everyone is talking about, I thought I'd bundled up fairly warm and I still froze my ass off.
we gathered with a shitload of other people (around 700 all told as far as I've gathered) and we headed off in teams. I think we got about 1500 meters before our first pitstop and we pulled over for a beer (or in my case a coke) and that's how it went for most of the route.
While cozy, I must admit the novelty of watching peopel drink beer and goof around as the only sober person and then moozy along the route (running joke was that if hour average speed on the smart phone tracking app got over 5kmh we had to make a pitstop)
So about 7 from the finish line, me and one of the other "younger" guys had had enough and split from the group, agreeing to meet up at the line.
So off we went, at a pace much more to my liking.
after the race we all met up at my moms place for hotdogs afterwards.
So all in all, very cozy, but next year, if I join, I'm going with my own, more speed minded group. we cleared the 25km in about four hours XD

On the edge of a great drop
So I'm ever so slowly getting started on my cosplay, yeah you heard me. Cosplay. I gonna dress up.
I decided last year at Genki con that I wanted to cosplay. initially I picked Vash the Stampeed from Trigun, cause the character is awesome and I really like the outfit, but as I started to do the logistic overview of what needed to be done to make a decent cosplay, the fight just sorta wheezed out of me. Vash was WAY to ambitious, both technically and finacially. Some day maybe, but right now I gotta own up to my limits and utter lack of experience.
So after some mulling about I decided to do Dark Link, Links evil opposit from the Zelda series. It seems a more manageble project and I like the idea, since I'm gonna be massive compared to most of the Links that tend to show up at the danish cons (those tending to be girls cosplaying, where as I will be a 6foot 170 pound male =P )
I chose Dark Link cause to my knowledge he hasn't really show up on danish cons and I'd like to try something that hasn't been seen.
Also, I'm giving it my own spin, as neither of the official Dark Links are really practical, being all black on black or with pitch black skin.
I go for a dark version of the Link from Twillight princess, I like that design and I'll add some evil twists of my own.
So I won't be a canon character, but I still hope I can enter craft at Genki Con =)
So here's the kicker, I'm slowly getting startet, I got a list down of what I need, got a battle plan. managed to scrounge up one of most tricky bits, the chainmail.
And I sorta fretting about, think it's finally dawning on me, just how MASSIVE an undertaking a cosplay is. Sure I've been around the cosplay community for years, I've helped make cosplay, but the sheer amount of time and effort that goes into cosplay. Even a relatively simple one such as Dark Link.
Today I got roughly 97 days until Genki con. it is time to stop mucking about and get started =)
So take a deep breath and plunge in. ^^d see you on the other side.

Very feeble, but there's signs of life
Been away from this blog for months on end, but I think I'm about ready to pick it up again. 'Cause it's not like I have stuff to do other than writting what ever strikes my fancy and throw it at the world wide web.....
well I do... but I fell like procrastigating, so there =P
