You need to come out to the west coast sometime, maybe like GDC in San Francisco or something.
Re: DragonCon 2011
That's awesome! Did Falco link you there, Trask, or are the interwebz so small that you found it on your own? ;pp

Re: DragonCon 2011
Kotaku.com is one of the gaming websites that I check out normally. I saw earlier yesterday that they were posting Dragoncon cosplay in various chunks so I just kept a lookout and then bam, there it was.

Re: DragonCon 2011
I still wish Falco would have worn his sleeves pulled down to his elbows like his shirt was meant to be worn... Although I will give him credit for keeping that wig on the whole day, with the bandanna on top. Wigs in the heat and humidity all day get really uncomfortable.
Anyway, it was loads of fun and as always, I'm already looking forward to next year and scheming up some new costumes.

Re: DragonCon 2011
Seriously. I was wearing a black wig at AnimeExpo 2011 in Los Angeles, and it made standing outside in line for three hours on the first day fucking terrible. Southern California in July is a bad place to be wearing wigs.AerisAndMe wrote:Wigs in the heat and humidity all day get really uncomfortable.

We didn't really make it to any real panels or signings.
For me it's all about the cosplay, anyway. I mean, I spend months and months making these costumes (some people put a lot more effort into them than that), and getting to walk around as a character you love in a costume you've sweated over, and getting to look at other people's hard work manifesting as characters from video games and movies and TV shows and comic books and whatever else is really why I go. I can't speak for Falco I guess, but he didn't complain about our agenda much
It's just so much fun!We did try sitting in on a Neil Gaiman panel, but it turned out it was just a handful of guys who had read some of his books going on about which one was their favorite, sooo... kinda lame, haha.
