Do any of you have plans to wear costumes at Blizzcon? If so, share your ideas!
I've been apprehensive to post my costume idea for fear of anyone else using it as well, but I'm pretty excited about it so I'll go ahead and share it with you all:
I've been pretty into making costumes in the past. I've sowed a few outfits before including a full bear jumpsuit, a complicated reaper, and a stick figure outfit (did that with glowing wire and wearing all black). For Blizzcon I've been brainstorming ideas on how I can create a multiboxing costume.. my first idea was to attach 4 boxes following me, which is good for a laugh ("lol, multiple 'box'er"). However a friend of mine linked me a video which inspired me. The video was deleted due to copyright, but basically the guy did a YMCA dancing routine with a 4 dummy rig. Check out this pic:

I'm going to be doing that as 5 orc shamans. It'll be alot of work, but I'll have alot of fun doing it. It solves a major problem I was facing, and that's trying to fit in doorways. Also I'm pretty sure I could do the orc male dance in that rig, too, which would be a hoot. Now if only I could afford 5 multiboxing t-shirts for all the dummies, I could rock that one of the days. Haha. It's an idea. On second thought, maybe creating this kind of buzz/presence is going to bring multi-boxing even more into the forefront of debate and trash talking, so an in-your-face "solo is the new gimp" t-shirt might not be the best face to show the community! Hmm.
Anyway, I hope nobody else was planning on doing that costume, 'cuz I plan on entering the costume and dancing contests with it! Wish me luck!
