On yr mark, Get set..
It looks as though Friday will be my first performance.
Dave found this great Battery setup for me. Originally I was adamant about having the power supply in the costume itself, but upon weighing all of the considerations, I have opted to go with a tethered approach. Batteries that were small enough to wear would provide two hours of performance time, max. The big battery that I will be tethered to will provide about sic hours of continuous use. Dave also found a charger that can recharge it in an hour, which is frikn amazing.
Consequently, last night I did my first performance with everything running off of batteries from start to finish. Today I'll do a couple of dress rehearsals, and Friday I'll bust it out. I'm a bit nervous, but it should go over well.
I also bought a bike trailer 
so that I can haul all of my crap down the the pitch. THere are three reasons for this: The first is that if I have to pay for parking, my monthly overhead goes up by at least 300 dollars. The second, is if I did manage to find free parking, I'd have to park far enough away that transporting my gear from the car to the performance area would almost defeat the purpose of driving. The final reason, is the exercise will be very welcome.
And lastly, I added chromey bits to my boots for the final addition to the costume.
Once I've properly refilled my coffers, I will buy some New Rock leggings, but for now, these will do just fine.
