So I was thinking about all the times I have tried a costume and all the times something has gone wrong with them in one way or another. I was also thinking about how the knowledge of such things may have helped myself in process of actually making the costume. So, I figured why not start a thread about things that have gone wrong with our costumes, or even sabers for that matter. Share a laugh or two, and hopefully learn from each other.

I have quite a few costumes, and somethings have gone wrong with them. One instance I thought was pretty funny was basically my cape situation. Not a fan of robes since my arms move around a lot, so I have a thick cape. Well, they dont go well in a fight. Especially when you spin the saber around. So, doing a normal downward spin with my right hand has resulted in many a times where my cape goes straight over my head. On the plus side though, the kids seem to love it when that happens.

I made my robe out of an old canvas tent.  Surely nothing can go wrong here...

Actually the worst thing that's happened is my saber's pommel catching on my robe's sleeve, wrecking my twirl and sending the saber end-over-end into the bushes.

Hah, that is still pretty funny though. I remember one time at a con actually wait, I think there is a vid. Yeah, here we go. This was a couple friends and I at the Texas Comic-Con in San Antonio going over something we call a 4 point. Just 4 diagonal attacks. Anyway, my blade decides to do its own thing at the end. Sorry bout the poor quality.

There was that time at the Super Bowl, I was singing with Justin Timberlake, and he "accidentally" ripped my shirt, exposing my......you knows.  Cheesy

Seriously though, one ime on Halloween, I dueled with another kid and broke one of those cheap Hasbro sabers. For the rest of the night I was a saber-less Sith, which basically meant a kid in black t-shirt and jeans wearing a plastic cape! lol.

Exactly. My Master was very angry that I broke my training saber. And everyone thought I was a Vampire or something, but they gave me candy anyway, so....
