Title: What's left?
Post by: Mango Bunny on May 25, 2011, 12:40:25 PM
So we're a day or two away from Fanime... What do you have left to do?

I got all my printing done, one final, and some of my packing.

I still need to...
Do my nails.
Finish packing.
Dye my hair.
Return some things that are due to be returned while I'm at the con.
Pay bills.
Call DMV.
WORK!
Buy beverages.
Drop off my dog's overnight gear to my friend.
One more final in like, 15 minutes (eee!)

I'm feeling pretty much ready, despite all of that though. I managed to get my car vacuumed and de-slobbered. I have my laundry done. I know what I'm bringing. My hair got cut.

How are you all doing with the 'to do' lists?

=D

For now I'm just trying to coordinate getting my swap meet stuff to the convention center, finding parking for the person helping me, picking up my staff badge and staying in the swap meet line at the same time. I don't want to imagine how much more stressful this would be if I didn't live 30 minutes from San Jose.

Other than that, I still need to pack clothes, makeup, my water bottle and some snacks, but I'll worry about those on Friday after swapmeet. *phew*
