    when I posted our animazement 2002 recap

    THURSDAY Picked up Ash, rode to grandmother’s had dinner. Ride to Nashville was pretty uneventful. Got lost in Nashville. We passed the Clarion where mtac was last year – is it closed? Looked like it. If it is, good, because it had ugly wallpaper and mean employees and icky bathrooms. Got to hotel finally, went to sleep. FRIDAY Got up…

    Leaving for Animazement 2002

    Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…

    Misato and Xiaoyu updates

    Ok, just a quick rundown here before I leave to go get ready for Star Wars… Got Misato’s shirt made. I had originally bought one, but it turned out it was going to be too long and too bulky (it was a sweaterish type thing). So I made one in like, five seconds. It actually turned out just as good…
