I had so much fun being loud and annoying. xD

I was "photo-shoot under the overpass" Barret Wallace, the one about 200 people got pictures of because I was posing up on a hill, essentially, lol.

And I was also the Ox King, which was lotsa fun. Goooooood times this year was.

Aw, sorry, man. Well, the costumes will definitely be making comebacks, and I'll be trying my best to make it out to meetups and gatherings this year, so hopefully we can meet up and you can get some pics, heh.

Thanks for the compliments, by the way!  ;D

As a prop geek, I personally have to thank you for making such a lovely accessory. I only saw you in passing, unfortunately, but when I did see you, my heart skipped a beat or two. You, and your mallet, looked amazing.  :)

I remember seeing you in passing, tryin not to stare, but your arm was just so cool!! That, and I knew who you were cosplaying, but I couldn't remember at that very moment.

Thank you for the compliments! I'm really glad Harley was a hit.

I was:
Rintarō Okabe from Steins;Gate (I cut my hair just for this costume, it used to hang to my mid back)
Grell Sutcliff from Black Butler
Team Rocket James from Pokemon
Professor Souichi Tomoe from Sailor Moon
and last but not least Mao from Code Geass (complete with chainsaw)

I was also supposed to be Larva from Vampire Princess Miyu but it didn't get finished in time.

This con taught me a very important lesson. DON'T DO SO MANY COSTUMES!! I seriously missed almost everything just trying to run from one photoshoot (often missing them) to another and switching costumes so often. Still had fun, but I didn't really get to hang out with anyone.

I was America on Day 0 and Day 3. Day 0 I had a white button up and a tie and on Day 3 I had a red shirt that said "America" on it. Then Day 1 I was both Matryoshka Rin and Black Mage from the original FF. Day 2 I was Sailor Luna and I ran the Moon Prism Power. Make Up! panel.

I missed the sailor moon shoot so I thought I should at least get a few shots at the photobooth. The line took way longer than I expected and by the time I finally got done it was already time for me to scurry into another costume. :( Like I said, I'm never doing that many costumes again, you don't really get to enjoy the character your portraying when you have to worry about the next one so soon.

Don't worry though, I'll pull Tomoe out again!

You were an awesome L. Pretty much the best one I've seen. You actually pulled off his lanky and disheveled posture, whereas most L cosplayers just look unnatural. It worked for you, and you looked awesome. ^_^

Oh, I remember seeing you when you were doing a shoot! I was the Rinoa sitting on the stairs eating Subway with a Lightning. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't remember me, lol -kinda feels like a creeper now-

Anywho~
On day 1 I was Rinoa wandering around with Lightning
Day 2 I was Serah wandering around with CC (and Cheese-kun) and a little sister from Bioshock
And day 3 I was Rinoa again wandering around with Lightning for a little bit and a casual Demyx with a Free Hugs sign.

I was Hirasawa Yui from K-On!, only I was in a maid uniform, WHICH IS IN AN EPISODE I MIGHT ADD.
To the few who recognized me, I love you~

"I recognized the hairclips ;D"

Oh thank you, hairclips~

I saw exactly 5 other K-On! cosplayers besides myself; 2 Yuis, and 3 Mios.
To you 5, I especially love you~
