Well okay, so ~
X-Alyx-X and I didn't go to October 2008 Expo after all, due to lack of funds, and sadly she could not go to this May, either.
I, however, could, and I went as Nel Zelpher from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (which was a total fail XD). I was going to go as Sophia Esteed from the same game, as well..but, my dog and my costume crossed paths the night before, so I could no longer do that *crai*
Anyway! It was fantastic, myself and ~
PocketTammy (who was such an amazing Kogami Akira and Sawada Tsuna) have been speaking to ~
Odd-One-Out since I met her at the May 2008 Expo, and we finally met her properly after a whole year! She went as an amazing Deunan Knute from Appleseed, partnered with a fantastic Briareos Hecatonchires (~
Xaerael). It was wonderful, and we got to meet her lovely friends *
TheInkOfDoom, who cosplayed Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji and also Fran from KHR, ~
Hexuas, who was Lolita L and Gaara, ~
LirikHasOneFriend, who was an adorable Matt from Death Note, ~
Shruiken-Shadow, who was Mello, and finally Yasmin, who went as Advent Children Tifa.
There's far too much to remember, and there are many Expo journals floating around, so I'll keep this short..IT WAS AMAZING.
It was so lovely to meet everyone and hang around and have bizarre nights in the hotel <33 Thank you all so much for being lovely.
Looking forward to the May 2010 expo, I've already started on my Silent Hill Nurse cosplay, I just need to think of another one now!
