A week has now passed since Anime Central 2008 and life has settled back down to what passes for normal. Still I am filled with fond memories of a really good time. Friday my main objective was to make it to the concerts which I did. Peelander Z was, well, unique. They put on a […]
Anime Central 2008 is now over and so far I’m at a loss for words, probably due to total exhaustion. ACen 2008 was a lot better for me than 2007. This year all of our badges came in time and I was able to avoid any unnecessarily long waits in line, like the now infamous […]
Now into a new month, it’s time to start gathering materials for my cosplays! Just put in an order to jlist for loose socks and as soon as the city digs out of the latest snow storm, I’m off to Joanne’s for fabrics. And I’ve identified base materials I can use for Ovan’s cannon. Hopefully […]
Just 113 days until ACen, so I’m slowly thawing out my brain to get new cosplay projects started. I’m going to start with Shuichi in the school girl outfit. Why? Just because! And it should be relatively simple, so I want to actually have at least one new costume completed with time to spare. It […]
ACen is still months away, but it seems that my brain is already concerned about getting costumes done. Often I’ll have a dream/nightmare shortly before a convention that either I’ve forgotten key pieces of a costume or that I spend so much time doing other things that I forget to cosplay. Well last night I […]
To wrap it all up, I had an awesome time Saturday night at Ohayocon. While I discovered that there was indeed karaoke too late to sing myself, I did enjoy watching and cheering on other singers. After that I dumped my bag and headed off to the rave.
I don’t know whether I got there before […]
Saturday is always the biggest day of the con for me. It’s the day that I’ll often have nightmares about a month before the convention begins. The nightmare usually involves running around the convention all day and forgetting to cosplay! That, of course, did not happen to me at Ohayocon. In fact, it was a […]
I hit the road for Ohayocon with a lot of hope, in the dark of night, 2:30am to be exact, and in the end, I was not disappointed. Ohayocon was a lot of fun for me, the drive through the night, hungering for dawn, was well worth it. Though it was not without a few […]
The weather forecast appear quite favorable for my Friday departure to Ohio for Ohayocon. Sadly, neither of my AMVs made the cut for the finals in the Ohayocon AMV Contest…*sigh* Oh well, contests are not the reason I make anime music videos anyway, still, it hurts not making the finals. I’m sure the winners will […]
Five or six months between conventions is too much for me, so I’m getting ready for my first trip to Ohayocon coming up in January 2008. I’ve been missing my Roger Smith cosplay, so I’ve decided to wear it on the trip. Roger wears normal clothes, so only the initiated would even notice and I’ll […]
I’ve been going over my Youmacon cosplay picture set in Flickr to become more familiar with the tools there and by far, this awesome Monarch cosplay is one of my favs. Not just for the great costumes, but because these guys were so totally in character. Awesome cosplay is awesome!
Youmacon 2007 has come and gone and I can sum things up neatly in one sentence. I had a lot of fun! ^_^ Like most things in life, Youmacon was not perfect and I did run into some trouble, first getting off course trying to get there, and later just dealing with events starting very […]
Well time to head out the door for Youmacon! Hopefully I haven’t forgotten anything important. This is my first time going to this con, so I’m a little nervous. But I’m really looking forward to a little vacation time and meeting some new people. I’m even thinking of entering my Yuujiro outfit in the Hall […]
I was up late working on my Yuujiro costume and needed a break from sewing on snaps. I really hate sewing on snaps because it is just so tedious. Most of the time it goes slowly because on at least one side I need to take care to hide the back side stitches. Uggh! […]
I hadn’t really planned to do a new costume for Halloween, but here I am just a few days before the Halloween Cosplay Party at Sushi Samba Rio, rushing to get a costume completed. I’m not a traditionalist, but I still feel a bit of reluctance to wearing non-scary costumes for Halloween. So most anime […]
