ganimyde So some nice people decided they couldn't wait for AI and so they had a cosplay picnic in Iowa, in Altoona. I had some people that were going to come from Iowa City, but they didn't end up making it. It was only me and the five or seven organizers until this group FF cosplayers came. They'd come all the way from Cedar Rapids, and this was actually their first con-like thing they'd attended. The girl in the blue is the sister of the tifa, and she actually made all the costumes for all of her friends! It's pretty amazing. @.@

So we assured a couple of the guys that this wasn't a real con, but we don't know if the message got along to the girls. It may have, we hope so. :) *think positive!*

Some the things that were planned didn't happen because there weren't enough people, but we did get prizes nonetheless. >3 I got two volumes of Priest, a manga I'd been wanting to try but not really buy. All for free! whee~~

So I'd say it was a successful first year, considering that it didn't rain, the comparative attendance of the cosplay picnic in Chicago's first year, someone ninja-retrieved my frisbee, and I made new friends (here IN TOWN)! Also, I got to try out some new fake blood recipies. It ended up not looking like dried blood exactly, but skinned flesh that belonged on people from Silent Hill. >_> oh well....we'll just put it on ED next time, heh heh....

Can you beilieve it?--the other bloody-looking girl is going to teach elementary school next year, and is even more blood thirsty than me.... Heh'heh...
