A Weekend in Pictures...
I've finally gotten around to uploading some of my pictures from Kumoricon Weekend to my computer and, as promised in my blog, I shall produce them for your viewing consumption. I won't make blogger struggle to host these pics so i'll just link em. For those of you who don't know what Kumoricon is about...its Portland's local Anime and Game Convention... as if the 'con' part didn't give it away.
Now I know some of you haven't been to a 'con' yet but considering the history the smkrs have for odd outings and crazy weekend trips this seems to fit right in. Running on little sleep and odd foods, participating in weird activities and laughing at other people partaking in same, and generally having the times of your lives. Of course your trips were always missing one crutial element...Cosplayers. They can be broken down into various types and subtypes. Some of which include...
The Hotties http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Valakun/ChunLeeKC06.jpg

The Not so Hotties http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Valakun/MoonKC06.jpg
The Unique http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Valakun/SakuraKC06.jpg
The Well Armed http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Valakun/SaturnKC06.jpg
And...The Funny http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Valakun/GirKC06.jpg
A few notes on the above pictures.
1. Both ChunLee and Haruko were drawing a ton of people. Not only were their costumes incredible they also posed in all the right ways. Needless to say many of the people asking for photos were guys.
2. Moon and Luna were, well, disturbing. Its tradition that at least one extremely bad Sailor Moon cosplayer be at every con. I found Kumoricon's sitting in the main hallway taking up space. I couldn't pass up the shot.
3. This particular Sakura was not only well done but unique in the fact that she was the only up to date version of the ninja girl in the entire con. This is Sakura's look in current Japanese manga time...far from the stuff regular US readers and watchers know.
4. It wasn't the fairly decent sailor fuku that drew me to Sailor Saturn, it was the stage steel Silence Glaive she was swinging that got my attention. I'm a suckers for sharp pointy objects, especially ones from a favorite show, movie, manga, or book.
5. There were 2 Gir cosplayers at the event. The other one was much better but I didn't get a great shot of him. This one, however, came out real well. And heck, its Gir!

I am going to Sakuracon or I'll die trying! I am trying to get at least one costume together (Anni has 3, geez) - probably a shinigami (I would love to be Isane, but it is impossible to find a proper wig - wait, you guys don't watch Bleach. Bah.)
Who is ChunLee? I think I recognized all the other ones.
