With thread, glue guns and duct tape, this crew aims to help anyone having trouble with their costumes.
Jasena Frisby, another member of the crew, said the lounge started when a vendor sponsored it nine years ago. Over time, she said, FanX saw what they were doing and asked them to keep going. Now, FanX sponsors the lounge. Some people leave tips, or sometimes treats. Some call them angels. Kali Myatt is in her third year, making repairs at the lounge. She estimated that they see between 200 and 300 people a day. On Friday, the convention’s second day, she said there was a steady stream of people since it opened at 10 a.m.
A lot of the work at the lounge is problem-solving, Myatt said. For example, someone came in with a broken sword, and the team created a splint from tongue depressers to hold the sword in place, then wrapped it all in duct tape. “It broke at a spot where I tried to Gorilla Glue it many times,” Kuren said. He’s from Ohio, and he said FanX is something he looks forward to every year. In fact, he said, it’s the only convention to which he travels.
