People can say whatever they want about the winters in Winnipeg (and I'd probably agree) but our in-between seasons are absolutely gorgeous, and today is one of those fine Spring days.
It's sunny, there's a slight breeze and I can't help but start thinking about one of my favourite things that happens each spring: March of the Robots!
You may remember my jaunt with Santacon this past December, so you know there are few things I love more than making costumes and being ridiculous (not to mention it's a pub crawl so you know it's going to be an adventure!)Needless to say I am eagerly anticipating the March, in fact the title of this post is my name -Alyson- in binary!
Here are some shots I took from last years MoTR:
Ty, our fearless leader!
My steampunk cyborg costume had retractable wings -how awesome is that?!
The crew who met at The Forks at the beginning of the march (the location changes every year, as does the pubs/bars we hit up on our adventure -we like to keep things interesting)
As you can see there are all sorts of different robots who come out to make the trip with us! The best kinds of costumes are the ones that are hand-made, but if you're pressed for time pick up some blinking lights and tin foil and come along anyway!This year the March is May 28th, and you can keep up with all the info on the website, FaceBook page, and Twitter feed @Robotmarch -whichever way works best for you.
I'll be posting up progress pictures of my costume here as well as on my Twitter. I'm so torn over what to do this year and anxious to start building!
