Hey, everyone. Thanks for the warm, uh, farewells. I really appreciate it.
It turns out, I had gotten back a little later than I had expected. The drive took a bigger toll than I had imagined, and crashed at my friends house for the night. Ah well, I'm back now.
The convention was a lot of fun. I wish I was still there, actually, but all good things come to an end, I guess.
I did take plenty of photos, and as my film develops, I had found a picture of myself on one of the few sites that have uploaded their Otakon pictures.
I had decided to cosplay. That's right, I went to the convention in costume. I had decided this late, and was forced to quickly come up with a costume. Now, that's not to say I have any sewing talent at all. I couldn't thread a needle if my life depended on it. And so, some help was needed.
I had enlisted the assistance of my mother, the Sewing Goddess of our family. The costume was quickly created, and I was set. I had managed to fulfill my two-day long dream: going to the Convention as a Black Mage.
Feh, I liked the costume alright. I had opted not to spend time creating any sort of eye holes, as I could see through the Black Cloth easily, and so, the Black Mage's trademark yellow eyes are something you will not find, yet it matters little to me. Besides, I wasn't out to win any competition. Well, besides a Smash Brother's Melee tournament that was held. I digress, here is a picture the man from Fansview took of me as I was sitting, waiting for a friend.
Black Mage, as a Black Mage.
Note, the White square on my stomach was the back of the Convention Badge. You had to wear those to get in, and they seemed to like to flip around on you. Also, you can see the velcro on the Cloak, which you shouldn't be able to do, but it kept coming apart, and I had a terrible time seeing it, so it was quite poorly attached at the time.
Don't worry though, I'll have better pictures of myself, and other interesting costumes I saw in a bit. I won't clutter this thread with them, either, I guess I'll have need of making a new thread. Meh.
