Throughout the day the girls continued working on the costumes for the convention. In the early evening, we all went out to the Cheesecake Factory for the annual kick-off dinner. I had a Chicken Parmesan dish, which turned out to be so huge I had to take it home. We were all squeezed around a table, since there were ten of us. We went to registration at the Hynes Convention Center to pick up our badges afterward, then went home. Costume making continued through the night, and I think most of the people were up till 2 am or so.
