Even if you're wearing an amazingly authentic Iron Maiden costume. I'm just saying.... It's nice to get compliments on your costume, and even nicer to have people compliment you on your attention to detail. (Though let's face it, my costume isn't all that hard to imitate--it's all commercially available items. My stunning fashion sense comes in how I put it all together like a master chef! Yeah. That's it.) Though not...everyone...http://lostcoastgaming.com/node/757 Fear and Loathing in San Francisco- June 5, 2008 I didn't say anything before now because I didn't want to draw any (more) attention to it until the auction was over.

He remembered the turns hed taken to get here, the people on the streets as he passed, their looks and gazes as he and the flurry of flashing lights chased specters down the streets, the scent of wet dew and worms heavy in the morning air, the streetlights dimming in the newly awake sun.
