Do you have a costume that you love but just isn’t quite there? Bring it to our Costume Tailoring Workshop in the Dulaney Ballroom 1 on Saturday 2/18/12 from 10am to noon and get help to fix those puckered seams and hanging hems in time to wear your costume for the rest of the convention! Thanks to John Broughton from the USS Farragut for donating his time and resources to make this happen.

Farpoint’s own Insane Ian has just released a Harry Potter/Weezer parody EP entitled “Weezard” at bandcamp. Ian says, “In celebration of the final Harry Potter movie hitting DVD & Blu-Ray, and the fact that Rivers Cuomo of Weezer looks like a grown-up HP, I figured making an EP that featured parodies of Weezer songs about Wizards was a great idea!”
Weezard is a seven-song EP, available for $5 for download, or $6 for physical copy + download.
