Now that that's out of the way, y'all should come out and see this thing. It's a hell of a show, and we've got something for almost everyone. We've got some awesome DJs, some cool programming, dealers for everything from Steampunk to Anime to things that blink. We've got RPGs, CCG, TCG, Board games and Video games. We've got bands like the super awesome Clockwork Dolls, and so much more.
We've got stuff for the whole family, from wee-little to Adult. Come on out and join the insanity.
Did I mention I'm the Evil Overlord of this thing? Yeah, that's how awesome it is.
Yeah, trying to work on a project for the "What NOT To Say To A Female Otaku" panel when I hit a snag. I REALLY don't have any pictures of it. Hmmm...must try to fix this. So if anybody out there has photos from the panel from over the years and would be kind enough to share them with me, I would really appreciate it!
Basically my commisioner mailed very badly and i did not recieve my commisioned red wig and white coat in time. I know its the day before the con but i also know alot of characters hairs look alike and also know some cosplayers can make a wig in like 30 minutes.
I have a shoot Saturday at midnight. Does anybody have a red wig that looks similar to these examples i can borrow for the shoot or an old one they dont use that they can chop up and style and sell for cheap?
My cell is 804-67-8698 and i have unlimited txting. call me prince draco or jason. i had bad cell signal at katsu but hopefully my cell works better this year.
If anybody can let me borrow wig, i will love you forever, or if anybody can save me in anyway.
