I'm a little sad that I was way too busy on Saturday to properly have a photoshoot as Akainu, but I'm glad I got to be in the Unlimited Adventure shoot we had as "Boss Battle" Shanks. Fun memories, fun people, fun cosplay, and fun convention.
Hoping to get my pics up on Facebook this week before the OP Podcast records on Wednesday to talk about AX. Also hoping that binkx's Masquerade skit that iroha and I were a part of gets uploaded to Youtube or ACP soon.
@Moon: I have no clue what I'm planning to do for AX in two years, I only know what I'm doing for the OP gathering next year, and hoping to get some sort of Fairy Tail costume done next year. I have two costumes that I'd like to do (technically 3, but for the two, I actually have wigs and done research for). Drop me a line for what you'd like to have in mind via PM or on Facebook.
@LC: Thanks for posting pics so early, especially since you took some real good ones. Glad to formally meet you this year, compared to "sort of" at the Viz panel last year. Hopefully you can work something out on the cosplay you'd like to do (the one we talked about). And if you need any tips on the prop making, I'm sure one of us will be able to point you in the right direction.
@makyz: Really cool hanging out with you at AX. Don't think I'll be able to go to NY AFest this year, but next year seems hopeful. I would like to hit a few of the big, out-of-state anime conventions sometime, and definitely would like to do something on the east coast. Hopefully we'll attend one of the same ones so I can join your Croc cosplay with something.
Man, this post was long and rambling. I just hope everyone had more fun than I did. I had a lot of fun, but I was also damn exhausted. Didn't have a lot of energy left after the OP gathering, and that carried over on Sunday. Also, didn't have my camera on Sunday because someone else brought the box of all the masquerade props and prizes inside back to their house…which had my Chopper bag with some important things inside, like said camera. So unfortunately not that many pics of my douchebag One Piece cosplay with iroha.
