Just wanted to state my thoughts about cosplaying...
I find cosplaying is just a hobby for most people, like drawing and stamp collecting, and there are times you just want to do it b/c you love it that much. You don't have to be in character when cosplaying, you can still be yourself, and have fun.
I cosplay so often that people expect to see me all dressed up every time they see me. I've cosplayed when I just walk to the store, b/c I love wearing my wigs and dressing in clothes I like to wear.
I will be cosplaying to this b/c I love to do so. I will still be myself and will be social and have fun. And truthfully, the area we're gonna be in is a wonderful place for pictures, and I'm going to take advantage of it, since I don't get that opertunity very often.
I'm sorry if people disagree with me. But, really, you can't tell me that I can't wear what I usually wear to a public place.
Anyway, I'm excited for this ^^
