Sir CC, Mascot Making and a Sports Writer
Rick Grayshock of waitingfornextyear.com spent some time at in MascotLand today. Rick is an ardent Cleveland Cavs fan and writes about them. Recently, he wrote something about Sir CC . That led him to us.
Realizing he could finally satisfy a curiosity about how mascots are made, he made the trek from Columbus, Ohio to Indianapolis.
He checked out the original patterns for Sir CC's cape and tabard, counted all the foam pieces that go into making mascot shoes, saw mascot eyes before they are painted - and after they are painted and began to understand the importance of center front in the creation of mascots. We even talked about the similar, quirky passions in the world of sport and the world of art.

Happy/Sad Mascot Maker
On Mondays through Fridays, I head happily off to AvantGarb to make mascots.
Today was the 2nd day of an ice storm here in Indianapolis. We are measuring ice on the ground in inches.
Even though there are mascots that need to be made - AvantGarb was closed. We had a snow day - or rather an ice day.
Today I was a sad Mascot Maker. Boo-hoo.
