We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Jilli, you might be my savior. The bit in the LS piece about wearing an ice pack under your corset -- BRILLIANT! I get excessively hot and sweaty in situations/locations where everyone else is cool as a cucumber; this is exacerbated, of course, by wearing a corset. Particularly a PVC corset.

I *so* can't wait to try this!

It works like a DREAM. I am taking ice packs to SDCC with me, because while the convention center is air conditioned, having an ice pack wouldn't hurt.

Steph, you can also buy something called a "bodice Chiller", which is a metal implement, often with a decorative top (think carrot shaped) that you put in the freezer and tuck into the front of your corset. They work wonders.

See, that right there is the situation I'm talking about -- I can be in an air-conditioned room that is objectively temperate and non-humid and STILL be sweating buckets.

I think I have a hinky autonomic nervous system.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's a Gothic Charm School MIRACLE!

Ooooh, your first link has one with a silver skull top! Dammit, there's no way I can get that in time for SDCC.

Thought that you'd like it. This particular type you don't put in the freezer, you fill it with crushed ice, which is better because you can keep cooling it down. And, as they helpfully point out, it can double as a flask.

From Coilhouse:

****

Coilhouse readers attending Nerd Prom (aka the San Diego Comic-Con) have one last chance see us all in one place at the same time at the Avatar Press booth before we scatter to the winds. It’s actually quite fitting that our final meeting is at Comic-Con, seeing as that’s where the three of us met face-to-face for the first time two years ago. We’ll be signing and selling copies of Issue 03. Below are the specifics:

Where: San Diego Comic-Con, booth #2701 (front of the 2700 isle, by the front doors).
When: Saturday, July 26
What time: 12 to 1 PM

Also, Mer is going to be performing some tunes with her old friend Amanda Palmer at the big CBLDF fundraising concert on Friday night in San Diego.
