This year will be my first Kumoricon, and I plan on cosplaying Ryou Bakura this year. I have been thinking that people would be looking at me funny, because they probably did not think that people cosplayed as Yu-Gi-Oh characters anymore. It would be funny, you know? "Look, it is that one guy from that one show, back when I was, like, five! Yu-Gi-Oh! Yeah, that show!"
Most of my friends do not even know that there are multiple series, and none of my friends will even be going to the convention with me, so I will be kind of alone. That is why I am really hoping to be able to volunteer.
Currently, I am actually working on my Millenium Ring. Even though I know that it will not be as good as any other Bakura's, it is still fun to make, even though it is not very "professional" looking. This is my first cosplay, too, after all.
I hope to be volunteering this year, but, either way, I also hope to be meeting lots of people, especially many Yu-Gi-Oh cosplayers. Don't be scared if someone dressed as Ryou comes up and says "hello" and runs off, or asks for your autograph, or pictures, or a hug, or something. I am shy, but I am hyperactive and fairly amusing.
