Aww, don't worry . Why you missing it for? Hope you can come this year. If you don't have the money you can still come to the photo shoots. I think I'll be doing that this year and hanging out with friends of course.
I don't live in Canada, but I used to fly out there to see friends... I went for about 3 years in a row, and basically ran the Gundam panels for 2 of those years. But then in 2008 I was in Japan, 2009-10 my uni exams are the same time as A-N, 2011 I'll probably be in Japan again, 2012 exams.... so it's another 3 years before I go to A-N at least.
She makes a lovely Lacus. and I must say its nice to see someone work so hard in cosplaying someone they like without caring about the typical stuff i've heard from friends and even anime fans i chat with such as "Oh i don't have the body for it" cause they are too thin or to curvy, and of course the other one i hear also is "my version of so and so character would look bad compared to another's". She makes a lovely Lacus indeed.
I agree. I myself want to cosplay Gourry Gabriev from Slayers. But the only obstacle for me is finding the right blond wig that has the right color and the length for it. I got a good height and the armor is easy to make just need the materials.. another obstacle though i must admit id the Sword of Light. I'd love to either find someone who can make it so its acts as both sword of light but also for just wearing on the belt showing off the handle of the sword, and that is tough cause the handle is well detailed.
