Two weeks to go until FedCon.

In just two more weeks, the Maritim Hotel in Bonn will open its doors for the 32nd edition of FedCon. This year I've decided to give the event another chance and treat myself to a weekend there. It remains to be seen how it will turn out and whether it can surpass my experience at Destination Star Trek übertreffen kann.

Zwei Wochen bis zur Fedcon. Das heißt: Die Zeit wird knapp, um meine Cosplays fertigzustellen. Für Freitag bin ich mir noch nicht sicher, was ich tragen werde. Wahrscheinlich werde ich mich für etwas Einfaches entscheiden, das nicht viel Aufwand erfordert.

On Saturday, my big appearance as a Mirror Universe Andorian is coming up. The costume is almost finished, but I'm a bit behind with the prosthetics. I've completely remade my mask from last year and this time it's silicone, as my foam latex oven is out of action due to water damage. Yesterday evening, however, there was a major disaster: I couldn't get the forehead out of the mold. That would of course be a disaster for my cosplay, but I'm not giving up.

The Mirror Universe Andorian has been my dream for a long time. Last year I even made a faux leather coat for it, but I probably won't wear it because it's too warm. Instead, I made a top that seems to come straight out of the mirror universe. I'm wearing the handmade SNW phaser that I got from my friend North_Star_Trekkie I think it's going to be really cool, especially since I know there will be at least one other Andorian at FedCon that I want to take pictures with. So, fingers crossed that everything works out.

Sunday will be a little easier. I have sewn a costume for a „traditionellen“ Vulkanier a brown robe, a gray skirt with brocade inlays and homemade, individual Vulcan ears. I'm particularly looking forward to the fact that a good friend who will also be there will also be dressed up as a Vulcan. That will definitely be cool.

Let's see how everything turns out. I notice that my nervousness is only increasing slightly. I have no idea where the time has gone.
