Gishweek is over!

Hold on to your panties, kids, because I've got some stuff to upload!

But first, a video that I made with my son, to get us ready for all of the editing and costuming that we would be doing. (he did the editing, I did the costume.)

That ridiculous dinosaur is Dinomite The half dinosaur half mite mascot of this year's hunt.

I felt that making a costume would give us a step up from the competition. Little did I know that that fucking head would be the death of me! I called to get some foam to cut the shape out of, and a 3x3x3' foam piece cost $300! hahahahahah NOPE. So I used insulating styrofoam, which turned out to be a total PIA to cut and shape. I ended up using a sander, and when I die and they cut me open, I'm quite sure that little foam pieces will come out. They don't biodegrade!

I would love to work for Gishwhes! Sadly, I'm pretty sure most of the positions are volunteer. Plus, then I couldn't do the hunt!

How did your team do? I don't think I got more than 5 hours of sleep per night that week. I am VERY much catching up on my zzz's now!

We had a lot of fun - failed on a lot of items where we thought there was half a chance of getting them done but managed to do a whole lot more, and some of us managed to get together for a day to play, which made it a lot more enjoyable.

I'm sticking the odd item on my LJ. Can't wait to see all of yours again!
