I'm heading over to Mony's place tonight so we can all get up tomorrow morning and head out bright and early for Montreal. I'm super stoked... but I'm not even sure I have everything I need packed.
I probably don't, but I still have 7 hrs before I actually leave.
So I'll be away from my DeviantART for the week, so comments and notes will be addressed/read when I get back next Tuesday.
A side note, I've basically retired from cosplay because I'm focusing more on my cosplay photography. I still enjoy cosplay and would like to do it again, but it'd have to be at a time when my education and my finances aren't so linked. Cosplay can get pretty expensive when you have to pay for college as well...
But that being said, if there was going to be an outfit I could wear cheaply and still be a character I was a fan of, plus being able to do photo shoots in, I think I'd be all over it!
Case in point, Durarara!! I just started watching this series yesterday... HOLY SHEET!!! I already love this show! And more specifically, Izaya and Shizuo. Yes, I know they're the most popular characters, but seriously, they steal the show! How can they not be popular? I honestly watch it now to see how fucked up those two can get in one episode! I've never been so compelled by an anime that I know so much, and yet so little about so many different characters. I'm only on episode 5! I've got 20 more to go! I don't want to stop watching, but I won't really have a way to watch it when in Montreal... *le sigh* I guess it'll have to wait 'til I get back.
To the cosplay point, I think I'd totally cosplay Shizuo. It's fairly simple outfit that I could move around in and it's a character I'm totally loving right now.

Obviously I won't be doing this for Otakuthon, but maybe Youmacon or a con next year.

Anyways, I've gotta get back to packing! I hope to see some of you at Otakuthon and if not, I'll be back on dA next week!
