Okay, so it was 30-something degrees for a daytime high earlier this week. It got up to 80F today. People were walking around in shorts. I nearly had to turn on the AC. And it's supposed to get back down to 40F by next Wednesday. Seriously, the weather needs to make up its damn mind. I know Baltimore only has two seasons--Muggy and Cold--but the border between the two needs to be a bit better defined.

Speaking of B-more, an entertaining recommendation by the Reverend Brother Deacon Pastor Doctor Nicholas D. Wolfwood:

One Piece cosplayers at Otakon should take over and steal the USS Constellation, sail it around the Inner Harbor, and raid Fell's Point. Over a hundred bars in such a small area is a challenge even for Shanks cosplayers, but I'm sure we'll manage.

I personally am in favor of ganking the Stanley Norman--I'm sure the CBF won't be too ticked at us for stealing one of the last skipjacks still sailing the Chesapeake. It has the advantage of needing only a small crew, and if we get bored we can go dredge for oysters. Unfortunately, it's a bit of crapshoot as to whether the ship will actually be in the Inner Harbor at all that weekend.

If all else fails, we can get pictures in front of the pretty boats and then go get drunk.

I'm writing, really I am. I just had to join the rest of the county in going outside and running around like an idiot because it was nice today. Squee, the taking of the walks without the freezing of the ass!

Air condition on for 80 degrees? Here its a blessing if the weather is that low, but areas are different and yada yada yada. Dr. Nicholas D. Wolfwood is telling all of you to steal boats, shame shame. But it can be done, but will you all get away with it.

Baltimore weather is nuts to start with, and this year has been worse than usual because Fall seemed to stretch until February. Then all of the sudden we had below-freezing daytime temperatures and it was WTFcold!time. And we shot straight out of that into this. It feels downright toasty out in comparison to last week.

The Reverend Brother Deacon Pastor Doctor Nick is not advocating stealing the boats, persay. Only borrowing them for a bit of genteel piracy and raiding. They won't miss them, we're certain. The tourists will probably think it's part of the show.

Random comment from someone skimming the OPY100 friends' list out of boredom...The Constellation ROCKS as a backdrop for One Piece pics. Despite my best efforts though, I've never managed to get an actual massive photoshoot in the Inner Harbor, just small group shots.

And WTF is up with the Maryland weather right now, honestly? Good God, I hope this doesn't mean it'll be hellish already in May.

If all the Final Fantasy cosplayers can get together in a single massive doomy photogroup at the same time, then dammit, the One Piece cosplayers ought to do the same thing. We can dream.

The bad part about the Constellation is that you kind of need a local to point you at it, even though it's not exactly easy to miss. I guess saying "Meet at the biiiiiig fucking boat in the Inner Harbor at 3pm" would probably work.

Good lord, I hope not. I'm originally from up in the mountains of Western Maryland--my first Baltimore summer just about killed me, and I'm still not used to high heat + high humidity. I don't know if I'll live through this year being as massively above normal in summer as it's been all winter. And the thunderstorms we'll get...doooooom.
