Duct Tape

I am (quote) absolutely amazing (end quote) with duct tape.

Riff Raff Costume

This story, like all stories, has a long and boring introduction that must be read to understand it. During first Sunday (LAN 10.2), we had a torrential downpour that <sarcasm> much to many people's great depression </sarcasm> required Mandatory Fun to be cancelled. This rain storm was the most important factor in the creation of a Riff Raff costume...entirely out of Duct Tape.
The Vest
AB Maynard (1HW LAN 10.2 Alcovian) and I collected rolls of duct tape from several members of our hall and co-hall and commenced work on several massive sheets of duct tape fabric. After about an hour or so, we managed to assemble a sheet big enough to make a vest. Originally the vest was designed to be a "biker-vest" and had (in neon orange) 42 on the back. This vest was then worn to the first Saturday dance of LAN 10.2. The next day, having escaped Mandatory Fun, we proceeded to some of the Alcovians on our co-hall. Among them was Alex Kohanski (LAN 11.2 Head Monk), who realized a potential for this vest.
The Costume
Alex suggested that we make the vest into a "Riff Raff" vest. After pillaging borrowing duct tape from him, we created a set of coat tails, a pocket, and a series of functional duct tape buttons. This took several more hours, and a small level of annoyance to our RA, but in the end resulted in an "awesomesauce" costume. The costume was then worn to lunch the next day, much to the enjoyment of the rest of the Alcove. There was much rejoicing.

So yeah...if you want any duct tape clothing, just contact me (post on my talk page).

CTY Experiences

FCPS B. LAN. 10.2

This was my first ever CTY experience. I remember having this dream about it that it would be horrible, boring, and just dull. I got there the first day, a squirrel, with no idea what to expect. I had heard of the Alcove, but I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to join. So I (for lack of a better term) observed them for a week. I decided to join, though I was worried that I wouldn't fit in there. I could describe the many, many experiences I shared with the 10.2 Alcovians, but I'll summarize it into a few sentences (which will probably end up in my Passionfruit speech). "Friends like the ones I made there, in the Alcove, are the kind of people you just don't find in real life. It has taken me my entire life to find three friends that I trust and enjoy the presence of as the people I met two weeks ago."
