Part of my nyan cat costume hasn't arrived yet... the only option was standard shipping I need the costume to be finished tonight, tomorrow at the latest.

Is there a gay pride store anywhere around Raleigh? Or somewhere else that sells rainbow flags?

ibt "you're so lame for being nyan cat for Halloween" - give me some ideas of other stuff I could make today and I won't be a pop-tart wearing, rainbow shitting cat.

[Edited on October 28, 2011 at 12:16 PM. Reason : or just go there in the dead of night and steal theirs, either way ]

10/28/2011 12:15:20 PM

I thought White Rabbit went out of business?

10/28/2011 12:15:35 PM

paint your own, white pillowcase + paint

10/28/2011 12:16:24 PM

I cannot help you in your quest, however I do wish you luck because I would like to see photos of the finished product.

10/28/2011 12:16:48 PM

Pretty sure there are rainbow flags flying around in the warehouse district over back behind where buckhead used to be.

Think there might be a store somewhere in that vicinity.

10/28/2011 12:17:02 PM

wow, you're right. well, there's still the store in charlotte apparently by their facebook.

10/28/2011 12:17:19 PM

^^ You might be thinking of Legends.

that is option B, but I figured I'd exhaust option A first

10/28/2011 12:20:10 PM

Maybe Party City sells them?

10/28/2011 12:20:31 PM

^ I'm going there for the gray facepaint later... I'll look.

10/28/2011 12:21:52 PM

call these people: http://www.capitolflagandflagpole.com/

if they don't sell them they probably know who does...

10/28/2011 12:23:03 PM

I'd just make one with a sheet or something.

10/28/2011 12:23:45 PM

^^ he said they could order one but they don't keep them in stock anymore

[Edited on October 28, 2011 at 12:25 PM. Reason : thank you, though]

10/28/2011 12:29:20 PM

I think this is a good costume idea... a little nerdy, but that's the new cool, right?


just wanted to post that... I have no idea where you can get a flag like that, but you could always just go to Micheal's and get the cloth and sew one together (or just get a white sheet and paint or draw it on there)

10/28/2011 1:07:40 PM

Multi-coloured streamers instead of a flag might work? Could definitely get that at party city, and they're probably "flow" better behind you than a flag.

10/28/2011 1:11:17 PM

^ ooh, solid idea. might just work.

10/28/2011 1:12:08 PM

^^ You can get those at most kite supply stores and places like AC Moore as well. Good call!

10/28/2011 1:14:23 PM

It serves a dual purpose~♥

10/28/2011 1:18:26 PM

^^^^^^^ that guy looks like Bill West.

10/28/2011 1:39:13 PM

I thought you meant Billy West but I guess not: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Billywestcropped.jpg

kite supply stores

hahahaha

10/28/2011 1:52:49 PM

there's kite supply stores?

no shit?

10/28/2011 1:53:50 PM

^^ Hey now, they actually exist Unless it closed down there's one in Durham. Used to be one at North Hills before it got all fancy.

[Edited on October 28, 2011 at 1:54 PM. Reason : a]

10/28/2011 1:54:27 PM

oh wow

you were serious

10/28/2011 1:57:50 PM

haha yeah. I remember I had to go to the one in North Hills once for some fiberglass dowels. They had some pretty cool stuff in there.

10/28/2011 2:00:47 PM

I'll be damned

Kites Unlimited in Durham

10/28/2011 2:10:07 PM

lol your costume will be great. I say don't do streamers but if you get a sheet or flag put a pole on the top so it can hang down nicely.

10/28/2011 2:40:13 PM

yeah, the more I think about it, the more I feel like streamers will get stepped on and ripped off... I think I'm going with the sheet if the flags don't arrive in the next few hours.

Just drive 20 minutes west to Chapel Hill, they probably sell them in gas stations there.

10/28/2011 4:37:48 PM

Id guess Xsmp has a ton of assorted rainbow items

I'm Krallum and I approved this message

I think they're in Charlotte now maybe.

Perhaps surprisingly Raleigh has long been better for gay stuff that Chapel Hill in terms of shops that sell gay stuff and clubs etc.

I know there is an LGBT Center on Hillsborough St in Raleigh, I wonder if they'd have a rainbow flag?

so i didn't know what nyan cat was til i saw this thread so i googled it. i am thorougly enjoying youtube now.
