Okay - two questions.

1) Who's going?

2) Anybody want to be in the parade with me? The fearless and imaginative rbrav is heading a marching group representing the Periodic Table of Elements. Yours truly will be prometheum. triadruid is marching as his favorite element, molybdenum. We're missing a few elements, though. If we snag 20 more people or so, we'll have an entire table. All you gotta do (minimally) is walk the route wearing a printed sign with the name of the element, the abbreviation, the atomic number, and the atomic weight pinned to your clothes. If'n you wanna make something more elaborate, that's cool too.

EDIT: I lie. Three questions.

3) Does anybody local (to me) have any liquid latex (for theatrical makeup, you dirty birdies) that they'd be willing to share? I need to be able to give triadruid a convincing scar, and I don't think he wants me to do it the old-fashioned way. *grin* Also, I don't really want to buy a ton of latex for just this one thing. Thanks!

You can also use just plain clear gelatin. Here's a quick google search and video if you're interested.

Wouldn't that melt in the heat?

It's not like jello out of the refrig. You use just enough warm water to dissolve and mix. It sets up fairly quick and is like rubber cement in its feel when does set. . . a little rubbery and elastic but you don't need spirit gum to hold it on. . . it has its own stickiness before it sets. Try just one little package. . . it won't cost you more than a dollar. I'm sure David would be a willing lab subject. . .hot women spreading warm gooey stuff on his body and then applying makeup. . . :-)
