So I'm just thinking about Ashitaka (he's a cool dude) and probably need to get started on the costume sometime. I just don't have the money to buy the materials right now. So, in that spirit, Jake, I am going to give you the Tingle costume as a gift so you don't have to worry about paying me for it. (No seriously, don't worry about it! In fact you are not allowed to worry about it.) Maybe sometime when you have some money we can go shopping together and you can help me buy the materials for Ashitaka, since now that my car payment is coming in to effect I won't be able to afford them. Just let me know when you'd like to go (I'm thinking some Saturday) because until we get the materials I won't be able to start on it. Thanks! I'm so excited about Dragon*Con!
