Jacqui and I have decided the following:
Jacq: Ultraviolet and Steampunk Vampire Hunter
Adam: An Ultraviolet type vampire and Steampunk Vampire Hunter
As we think of more, we will be posting them on this thread. Hopefully we will not be changing it much =)

SO! This is where we discuss costumes!
I'm thinking for me : Stuff. I don't know if I'm out of touch or if I just fail at dressing myself anymore. I can't think of anything to cosplay as, and I've got some nice steamy-ish stuff, this and that here and there. Maybe.
Josh wants to be Jin from Samurai Champloo.
He's talking really lukewarm about dressing up as an Addams at all, so I'll have to leave it to you guise to help convince him to participate.
It would be super cute if you two wanted to do Gomez and Tish tho.

Ah, I was hoping that we could all do something in theme. That would be something I would really look forward to. It doesn't have to be Addam's stuff, but something would be the awesomes!
Josh would be the perfect Jin. It seems like an ultra simple costume and he could just carry around his practice sword.
PS I'm also thinking maybe two days of steampunk theme ^^

Josh seemed keen on doing his Steamy-Hatter costume again. Maybe we could upcycle my QoH's costume, and you guise could be a Dark Alice and umm... a Cheshire Cat? All in Steamy theme?

Here's the plan with the steampunk vamp hunters. Victorian garp (naturally). We plan on recycling some of the Alice attire. I'm going to make an arm canon that can be implimented into a shoulder canon. PLUS, it's funny that you should bring this up... We are gonna carry around a sign ona stick that says, "Vampyre Extermination for Cheap" and in fine print below it "Will kill Twilighters for free" lol or something aloung those lines ^^

Are we going for a gothic look as well? Most of our victorian garb is black/brown and ivory.

I personally wing it. Did you guise see Josh's costume on Facebook? He's all reds and black and burgundy... the steampunk part really is the plaid vest and goggles on the hat. My dress is all, velor and magenta... kind of.
Then I've got brown stripes and a corset from my airship capitan outfit. So um... Gothy steampunky pretty typical faking it?

Well, I don't think Josh's hatter costume needs much do you? I think it was near perfection and magic somehow on its own! lol.
As for the Vampire Hunters, utter win. Such a great idea. Maybe we could participate in that happily. PEWPEW! Take that Edward.
I want to fix up my Queen of Hearts costume... I've no idea what I'm going to do to it yet tho. It was comfy... But it seemed to be missing stuff. I really... I don't know. I liked the way the crown turned out! Lol.

HAHAHA!
Moment of brilliance.
So I was thinking if we do a Vampire Hunters Day, Josh needs to be the Priest. How great would that be?
Is that like, all three days covered now? He's prolly going to be Jin when you guise do the Ultraviolet thing, Alice Macabre, and Vampire Hunters?

With the way it's all planned out, we are supposed to be down there for some 5 days. This is what I'm thinking (which I'm sure is what you are as well)... Sept 2nd... check in and wonder about Atlanta looking for fun or just resting Sept 3rd... Costume Sept 4th... Costume Spet 5th... Costume Sept 6th... check out and wonder about D*Con a few hours snapping most of our photos
We plan on spending alot of time with D*Con (it's just so far away we're gonna milk it lol).
About the costuming ideas: I like Josh's costume =). I just didn't get to see the full thing, just his torso-up. I liked your QoH costume too, I know you'll bring the steamy out of it =). The reason I was asking about the altering of costumes is that I am going to be constructing ALOT of items in order for the steampunk to be brought out i.e. like brassed attachable claws with a compass and gears (what have you). Such as that, I wanna go all out but not spend a TON of moneys. Jacqui and I absolutely LOVE the idea of Josh being a priest! Although, we are begging you to dress up with us as well, please???
