Commission + SoS stuffs

flyboy_foxCarrie finished her commission for me today, yay! It's so awesome, I have to show it off.
Under a cut for size, even though I already shrunk it by 50% o.o She gave me the pic at full resolution so I can do what I like with it ♥
She draws Scourge all the time, which is why I commissioned her, but she'd never drawn Miles before. So, props to her, 'cause they both look GREAT!
I love the neon sign in the background. It probably says 'COLA' or something, but with the red swirly border that kinda looks like an 'S', maybe it says 'SCOURGE' XDD 'Cause Scourge owns everything, yeah. I want his jacket. Jei has a leather jacket with flames on the arms that's kinda reminicent XD SO COOL.
But yeah! Awesome pic is awesome. Thanks so much, Carrie!!
In other news, I finally booked a hotel room for Jei and I for Summer of Sonic. Given that 400+ people have already registered for the event, I'm amazed that the hotel we wanted had any rooms left! It's the hotel where the majority of fans wanna be - Dreadknux is there I think, and Stiv, and a bunch of other really cool people. It's quite literally right across the green from the Pavilion (SoS '10 venue). I think the only reason I got a room is because I thought to call up. The site for the hotel (the Grantly, if anyone cares) shows no rooms left at all. I called up, though, and they still had a single. It'll be a bit of a squeeze, since the singles really do seem to be kinda small, but Jei and I will manage. I fully expect to be turfed out of bed in the middle of the night for either kicking or rolling on top of her XD Even in our lovely queen-size at home I always seem to end up squishing her ^^; But yeah, hotel! Yay! Only £90 altogether for the two of us for two nights - MUCH better than the £119 PER NIGHT that the nearby Hilton wants. Haha, yeah right. That's like a week and a half of my apartment's rent for two nights in a 'luxury' bed? Oh yeah, and the Grantly's price includes breakfast, too! SCORE!
So yeah, things are looking up a bit. It's not too much longer (less than a week) 'til I'll see my mum and have some human company after a loooong 2 months. Jei is currently in Elmira, NY, visiting her grandparents there. Her grandma is having an operation on her knee, so they needed to go be with her. It meant that Jei couldn't come home earlier like we'd hoped, but of course that comes first, and I'll be seeing her in less than two weeks now anyhow (holy crap, SoS is two weeks away? Shiiiiit, stuff needs to get done!!).
Speaking, again, of SoS - if anyone is coming, PLEASE stop by and say hi to me at the comics/cartoons table! SoS '10 is going to be EPIC, guys. Consequences will never be the same. HABEEB IT.

Date: 2010-07-23 01:59 pm (UTC)There's DEFINITELY gonna be an after-party. Rooms are booked and everything. We plan on trying these:
"Ingredients:
1 part grenadine
2 parts Menthomint Schnapps
4 parts Blue Curacao
Directions: Pour in the grenadine first. Then layer the Mentholmint schnapps and Blue Curacao on top, in that order. Take it down faster than the Blue Blur himself."
Sonic Shot!
Look forward to seeing you! (:

Or to basically copy-paste the first post from the guy organising it:
"Location: Vesbar, Sheperds Bush (15-19 Goldhawk Road, London W12 8QQ)
Time: 7pm
Arrangements: Talk to the weird bearded guy with long hair wearing a Spriters Resource t-shirt.
Contact: Can't find me? Call me! 07535652505

We are looking to arrange an army of at least 40 people strong. Tell those you meet at the event about it, and see if they're coming along. More the merrier. If we run out of space, then we're gonna have a fantastic time for sure.
Bar food will be offered, so you can even have your dinner while you're there!
I have reserved the space at the bar, so if you do turn up, say you're with the party for Dazz Brown - Or just Dazz."
We have some awesome people pulling shizz together both during and after the event, so it should be one to remember (: Especially with the news today that First4Figures are giving free Metal Sonic figurines to the first 750 SoS attendees!

Date: 2010-07-23 02:37 pm (UTC)Last year's after party was amazing. Of course, I drank a little too much and Dreadknux's brother had to help me back to his hotel room where I crashed for the night XD; That was... interesting. Oh, and watch out for Darkspeeds/Elson o.o He's a MANIAC on the dancefloor. Seriously impressive.
OMG I'm just so hyped XD;;

Date: 2010-07-23 03:49 pm (UTC)Doubt I'd drink any alcohol though as will need to get my bus back on the same day at about 21:30. If I can make this, I will be completely knackered when I get home, but it will be so worth it.

Date: 2010-07-23 04:00 pm (UTC)Though... it DOES almost look like it says 'SCOURGE', doesn't it? o_o
Let's go with that! 8D
Still glad you like it and dude, have a blast at SoS! You guys have a HUGE bunch of stuff going on this year! I'll admit, I'm flamingly jealous of everybody who's getting to go. Johnny and Jun! *0* Sonic Colours and Sonic 4! aaaa so lucky! ♥ I'd love to watch the livestream this year but, alas, SoS is on a day when I'm going to be travelling back from Canada. XD Whups! Ah well, hopefully there'll at least be video of the Crush 40 parts I can watch later. =3
no subject
Date: 2010-07-23 04:06 pm (UTC)Oh, yeah, there'll be PLENTY of footage around after the event, I'm sure. And hey, maybe you'll be able to make it over here one year? It'd be pretty cool if you could :3 SoS is only going to get bigger!
