patgundWell, the PTB that decided that we're all supposed to wear costumes on Halloween. Not only that, but they've decided that we're all supposed to go Trick-or-Treating from lab to lab to lab.
So, you'd think that a regular con-goer, faire junkie, and SCAian would have more than one costume to wear. Ah, but to work in? And one that they would actually understand. I mean, even if my Royal Manticorian Navy uniform was finished, how many people here would actually get it??
So, I decided on the inside joke costume. Take a black hooded robe. Add a black mesh face cover so it looks like there's nobody in the robe. Decorate with old NIC cards, LocalTalk adapters, Cat5 connectors, and a belt made from braided Cat5 cable.
If anyone askes, I'll simply tell them that I'm a Token-Ringwraith.......

(You should see if you can find the old IBM-style TR connectors to dangle off your costume, rather than the DB-9-style...that way, no one can mistake you for a Serial-killer. ;) )

Don't let anybody give you a cup of e coli.
You're getting a Manticoran uniform done? Cool, I want pictures. How? I want a Sphinxian Treecat Ranger uniform, for me!
