Conventional Wisdom

(Historical Notes: Now, I’ve already grumbled about the weirdness of putting a costume together out in the parking lot, but it takes on a whole extra dimension when you factor in just what a disorganized mess the inside of this van really was.  Seriously, I cannot stress enough how much a guy like me could ONLY make this idea work if I had an actual, full on camper with shelves and hangers and stuff like that.  Trying to keep everything straight in various piles just was NOT workable, no matter what the condition of my bedroom might lead you to believe.)
