Harry Potter cosplay tomfoolery at Fantasy QuestFantasy Quest 2011
Many, many months ago last July (that's how late this entry is) a cosplay event was held in the most beautiful location that the local cosplay community has ever seen. Fernbrook Gardens — the wedding & events destination which you might recognize from our Kuroshitsuji

It was around that time that the world was getting ready for the final Harry Potter movie, so my friends and I decided that perhaps it was about time to push through with our plans to cosplay Harry Potter characters. Parts of Fernbrook Gardens also looked like Hogwarts so we figured it would be appropriate.

Photos are from my friends, some from albums I was tagged in on Facebook, and some from my own camera.
Here I am with most of my friends that I went to the event with, along with Arnel ~akagii2004 whom we met that day as he was

WHAT TIME IS IT? AAAADVENTURE TIME COSPLAY ...TIMEAdventure Time cosplay at Fantasy Quest 2
A couple of weeks ago, we attended an event called Fantasy Quest 2. (The very first Fantasy Quest was when we cosplayed Harry Potter characters.)
It was a pretty special day for us because four years ago, we had our first shoot and bonding day with Ysabel ~SavingSunlight at the venue, Fernwood Gardens.
We've been really into Adventure Time, so many months ago we decided we'd do AT cosplay, and that Fantasy Quest would be a fun opportunity to do so.

It feels weird how we had been looking forward to this event for ages, and now it's over!

Two bags worth checking out! (and boys in skirts)Hello! In this entry, I'll be talking about a couple of bags that might interest you guys.

One is a camera bag for you photography enthusiasts, and the other is a Japanese schoolbag-inspired backpack for charity.

I've got another long-overdue cosplay-related journal entry coming up in a bit!
dA PRO Camera Bag
This is a rather late review, but better late than never! This has been my camera bag for a while — the dA PRO Camera Bag.
I find it just the right size to carry my essentials, without being too bulky. A lot of my camera-wielding friends with too-large backpacks have repeatedly expressed their envy.

Those straps on the front are for carrying tripods. They're removable if you don't need them.
Rubber dA logo on the back.
And here's how it looks when opened. What I've got in there currently is my camera, extra lens, LED camera light panel, charger, USB cord, extra battery, extra memory ca

FANIME CON 2008 REPORT (Part 1)I don't even know how I'm going to write a decent introduction for this but let me say that OH MAN WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME AT FANIME I HOPE WE CAN GO BACK! And... I TOLD YOU I WAS SHORT! Also, this entry is going to be really loooooooong. And this is just the first installation!
Sorry I couldn't update sooner! I've been wanting to make this post since right after Fanime but after that I spent a couple of days catching up on sleep and going around San Francisco, then it was time to fly off to Maryland to visit my cousins who dragged me over to New York right after I got there. Now we're back in Maryland, and I can have my quiet time.
Before Fanime
I was actually feeling kinda down right before we left. I'm just very sentimental when it comes to departures, I guess. Ever since vacation started, I spent a lot of time with my friends, and I couldn't help thinking about how much I'd miss them while I was on the other side of the world.
While waiting in the airport, I took pictures to kill

AME 8th Avenue Report! NEW VIDEO, whoo!So many pictures and videos of us, you'll be sick of us by the end of this journal entry. But this is for our memories! Just let it not be said that I didn't warn you!
AME 8th Avenue: Jin's Report!
November 8, 2008: A conclusion to the week during which the gods had forsaken us though at the last minute appeared to have changed their minds and went back on our side again.
I lost so much sleep last week, haha. Con and costume preparations really ate up my time. And my costume almost didn't make it for rage-inducing reasons ;alfjkawlefjal;wfjalskdf
Skit practice was actually my saving grace at the time. Far from being another source of stress, it was the one thing that kept me sane. I love how drama-free my fellow ninjatards are. We'd always manage to make each other's sides split from laughing, and it was touching to see how dedicated everyone was to learning their parts. Yeah, even that god-forsaken ending bit. (You'll see in the video.) Hahaha. And while resting we'd all just break in

ToyCon 2009 Pictures! (UPDATE: And videos, too!)ToyCon 2009 Report
Last Saturday was the first day of the Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2009. ToyCon was the first con we started going to regularly, so it's kind of been a tradition among us friends to attend.
Kat ~moonlightflight, China !snowpeachdrop, Miguel ~merkymerx, Ysabel and I wore our Rurouni Kenshin costumes, and we were all very happy that JM ~angrylittleboy was able to come hang out with us. He's our favorite Saitou.

Charmie ~yaoiangel14 showed her love for Macross in the new Sheryl Nome outfit she made. I think it's my favorite of all her work.

Dom ~Weakman, Rayson ~sinag-araw and EJ ~Dinkyass were in crack cosplay again, as you will see better later on.

Picture-heavy Toycon Day 1 Report! Disney cosplay!Toycon 2011 (Day 1)
Here's my usual (ang getting increasingly late) report about the cons we attend!
We went as a Disney group last Toycon! And I just realized we don't have a decent complete group shot.

That's okay I guess because it's definitely not the last time we'll be wearing the costumes, and we all had things we wanted to improve. We have a habit of doing that with new cosplays — wear them to a con and observe pictures from it after to see what looked wrong or felt uncomfortable about the costumes or wigs or makeup. It's helpful! Some of our friends were also unable to join us for Toycon so we'll definitely be doing this again.

Most of the photos are from my camera but I borrowed some from friends and albums we were tagged in.
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS-
So we saw this store, and we needed to take a photo in front of it for obvious reasons

So there's Dom :iconweakman: as Captain Li Shang, myself :iconbehindinfinity: as Ping, and Bok as Ling from

The Host Club is now open! (updated)Ouran High School Host Club
We recently had an Ouran High School Host Club photoshoot, organized by ~Cyfliq. It started out as a Honey-sempai & Mori pictorial for Ysabel !Ken-chan-Byakushi and Kune ~kunebitt, and she invited the rest of us to come hang out during the shoot. We said we'd be glad to help out with taking pictures and anything else, and later figured that we could join in as characters as well.

The rest of us didn't have a lot of time to prepare their uniforms so we just used casual clothes we already had. So yeah, sorry about the outfit and wig inconsistencies for now. This was just closet cosplay for a lot of us, haha.
That day was a lot of fun but we're also looking forward to the second Ouran shoot with a slightly different cast and proper costumes. Hopefully we get to do more than the usual school uniforms since the Host Club cosplays as well.

Tuxedo Team Ozine Fest 2008 Experience
Ozine has always been fun and memorable for us. I think part of it is because it's usually held at the end of the schoolyear, and it's a great reward after all that work.

This time we went as a Bleach group again. China !snowpeachdrop was Rukia again, in her Shinigami clothes. Kat ~moonlightflight retained her role as Orihime, in her Hueco Mundo dress. Miguel ~merkymerx decided to be Grimmjow, and for the sake of relevance, I agreed to be Ulquiorra even though I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to pull it

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of comments on that last journal entry. And I don't have a lot of internet quiet time nowadays so I hope it's okay if I'm a little late in answering notes and comments! I'm sorry!
Fanime Day Three!
May 25, Sunday. I... overslept. So we missed the Naruto gathering, ARGH. And due to my not feeling well the night before, I had to whip out my travel sewing kit (Ishida Uryuu style!) to do the repairs on my jacket when I woke up, which made us even more late. I have to fix that thing when I have the time. I did such a crappy job, haha.
Miguel and I made it downstairs in time to catch the Shonen Jump gatherin

It's kind of a tradition for us to follow a convention with a huge dinner afterparty, and AME was no exception. We were particularly happy because we managed to perform

our first big group skit together

. When we found out that we had actually won the group cosplay competition, we had an even better reason to have a Group 6 Naruto Shippuden Musical Rangers Bacon Party! Pictures are from Essa's and Gian's cameras!
Here we see mai waifu Kat ~moonlightflight making her delicious okonomiyaki. I am a useless husbando - all I can do is hold the bowl steady for her.
And even as we prepare food, we get photobombed by EJ ~Dinkyass, Dom ~Weakman and Miguel ~merkymerx.
Mai waifu so sexy.

Day 2 report! It started out at our friend's place like the day before. We helped each other dress and fix up.
Over here Miguel ~merkymerx, me and Myk had teamed up to fix Karl's hair for Phoenix Wright cosplay.
This is Melo !BallistaShark as the Davey Jones to Miguel's Captain Jack.
He also answers to the name Corporate Cthulu.
IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE AND THIS KITTEN WENT UP TO THE DOORWAY AND GAH JUST LOOK AT IT
WHAT IS THIS SORCERY, CAT
We couldn't bear to make it go out in the rain!
These are just two of the 120381029 photos we took of it. Gaaaah.
Another team-up to do Jayem's Fairy Tail emblem for his Gray Fullbuster cosplay.
It's lacking a little something, don't you think?
There we go. Lovely.

Well. This is... interesting.

IS THERE NO END TO THE FAGGOT-TREE?Lights Out Convention 2008
Last Saturday, I attended my first yaoi convention. It certainly was... interesting. Given the nature of the event, we dressed up accordingly by going as fanon yaoi pairs.
photo from Thea *theadeleon
The obvious choice for me :iconbehindinfinity: and Miguel :iconmerkymerx: was NaruSasu/SasuNaru (whichever you prefer).
We've been abusing the Shippuuden costumes for a while now so we did the ronin versions from the Broken Youth ending.
photo from ~twilight-tigerwolf13
Yeah, the ending animation with the line, "Dakara... Please kiss me, please kiss me all night..."

Err... Well, it WAS a yaoi con after all.
Let me just say that it was really breezy walking around in next to nothing but a robe. I actually should have left the top more open to show the bandages around the waist part as seen in the ending animation (linked above) but I should probably add clips and hooks on other parts of the

So yeah, go watch Resh's video!

He's fantastic at what he does!
