Battle damage

The DeBord Halloween party was a blast! I was pretty busy from the moment we got there, so I had my back to most of the fun, but I did enjoy myself.

The Apparatus for the Routine Maintenance of Gyroscoptical and Aeronautical Research Devices didn't survive in one piece. The power box snapped off when I tried to open it to put in the glow stick, and a fan bit popped off the last time I tried to adjust the gauntlet.

The problem was that I was working, and I had my left arm planted up on my easel. This is usually not a problem, but the ARMGARD was heavy and unbalanced, and I had to keep adjusting it, and the glove made it hard to cap and uncap my markers. After the fan bit busted, I had to shed the gauntlet for the evening.


My biggest regret was that I met two cool folks dressed as Wonder Woman and Jack Sparrow, and I had to rush off without properly talking to them. They liked my gauntlet, and I loved their costumes, and they said they wanted to do a steampunk thing next year. If you're out there in the Internets: PLEASE CONTACT ME! No one else at that party even knew what steampunk was :-)

Also, Wonder Woman was FINE.
