The tranfser of my father to a South African hospital from a Namibian based hospital went smoothly. Hopefully he will get some treatment for his various conditions...
Yesterday I finally got my DVD back from a friend who borrowed it for two weeks, and I didn't even have a chance to watch it after I bought it.
A lady who is interested in masking contacted me, unfortunately she is in a different city.
I am waiting for a package with two costumes for my home based costume rental business (http://costumerental.bkernst.net/). The female range is going to be expanded with Supergirl and Wonder Woman as well as a Batman ultility belt (with pockets) which I order from Nightmare Factory (http://www.nightmarefactory.com/). Most of my other costumes I usually order from Clicket (http://www.clicket.com/) but they don't have everything.

FCBD 2005
The last Free Comic Book Day was a success. I was dressed as Spider-Man at Readers Den in Claremont, Cape Town, South Africa.
An article about the event can be found on ICV2.
Walking out in the Spider-Man suit in the morning felt very awkward with everyone watching, but as they walked into the shop, and we started handing out chips packets, that uneasy feelin went away. Later the temperature dropped quite a bit, so I got a bit chilly. Speaking with that mask on wasn't easy. That high quality costume is quite amazing.
There were some of the expected rude and stupid comments from some people. SOmebody even asked how much we were being paid to be tehre in costume, since he would most likely never even want to do like that, because his ego would not allow that.
The kids and parents got excited about seeing some characters there in person. Most kids just could not stop staring. :-)

Comic book promotion tomorrow
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day.
There were students supposed to wear Superhero costumes and handle the promotion, but they bailed out at the last minute.
Now I have to do the promotion of that shop as well, next to my own advertising.
This unrealiability because of inflated ego and lazynes is unbelievable.
I still feel a bit uneasy about wearing that tight Spider-Man costume. I have worn it before at a birthday party, but not at such a large public event. It is a bit exposing at the crotch area, and I don't want to wear cycling pants udnerneath, since there would be an ugly looking rim.
After that promotion my mother is coming from Namibia and will stay for about two weeks.
