Sorry I haven't updated in forever! So here have an actual update.
I got the chance two weeks before AX to work with Cosplay in America with his new book. He has a kickstarter going, which is here http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/768656140/cosplay-in-america He still has a little over 2 weeks to go!
Day Zero had an epic comradery with the other cosplayers in line for tickets, and managed to slide into anime expo with only 5 minutes to spare.
Day One was interesting. Funny story about the cosplay. Originally I had just dressed to impress since I didn't have a proper cosplay. So I threw together a costume based on a post apocalyptic theme
