Let’s talk about this amazing Soldier cosplayer for a sec.

He is pretty awesome, isn’t he?

Aww yisssss. He did an awesome job on his prop too! So glad we re - made those packs after all at the last minute. It was worth all the sewing.

• Thursday - Arrive, Set up Partycat in the VIP Suite, 1600 sq feet of party, with wet-bar, take trip into Wicker Park in Chicago go to Emporium, an arcade Bar
• Friday - Run around with Kase and Rilnac, do a Red/Green yaoi shoot, cosplay as Kyubey, go to the madoka shoot, party in the room late at night, cards against humanity
• Saturday - Cosplay as Kyubey in the morning, enter into the hall contest, switch to Red for the pokemon photoshoot, then to Pyro for the TF2/Valve shoot. Beer tasting and party in the room, ~20 pint bottles of premium microbrew I had way too much and passed out around 11, missed the crave crate one of the guys brought back to the room at 3am
• Sunday - Cosplay as Ruby, last run around merch-con, say goodbyes to everyone, begin planning ACEN 2014

We might not have run the biggest party at the con, but it was by far the best stocked.

We didnt run out of cups this year.

We had so much alcohol left over its not even funny, if you know us and did not stop by the party, you have no idea what you missed ;)

I can’t believe we actually FINALLY legit take up a whole row.

We’re all so fat. We could barely fit into the purikuri machines when we were half a row.

We have to take pics to document this.

I’m so far away, but that is ok. Come check out everything!

I am Table 126 :3

Come buy hats!

• To expand on the last point, the Gold, Ruby, and Black costumes were also to impress someone. It wasn’t until Red that I did a costume solely for myself.
• For any given work I do, I remake at least one part…if not the whole thing, at least once
• I probably plan things way too meticulously

• All my hat making and cosplaying started on a combination of a bet and trying to impress a lady.
• I changed my diet radically when moving out, fresh veggies and hummus, why did I not learn of you sooner!
• I went to graduate school partly out of wanting to learn more and partly out of wanting to spend another year in academia…sometimes I don’t think the added debt was really worth the higher degree, but it remains to be seen.

Tumblr, tonight I am bored, ACEN is 3 days away and I actually have nothing to sew
