The convention staff was great and I should note that they had the most well organized parking lot of any convention held in a community space I've ever attended. Little details like that can make or break a show and this one was definitely made. I can't wait to see what they do next year!
I premiered a new cosplay for this convention - Slade Wilson from Arrow. Admittedly, a nice suit and an eye-patch isn't the most complex costume... even if you can dress it up a decent impression of Manu Bennet's voice and accent. But I'm quite pleased with the result if for no other reason than I think I totally rock a nice suit and eye-patch.
Manu Bennett agreed, for what that's worth. I got an autographed picture with a nice dedication.
After that, I wander around a bit and said hello to some friends who were also there while taking pictures of the cosplayers and posing for a few myself. I helped Terry Parr of ShoNuff Studios take down his booth, as he decided to leave early due to not feeling well. And I checked in with Michael Champion, as he was in the midst of a new work that I won't spoil but will say looked amazing.
And speaking of looking amazing, time for some cosplay photography!

Inu Yasha
The littlest Sith. Somehow, I think she joined The Dark Side for more than cookies.
Lyndsey Elaine as The White Rabbit. The Batman villain. Not the Spider-Man villain.
Glitzy Geek Girl as Black Cat. This was her first time as a featured guest and her first time running her own table. She deserves the success, being one of the best cosplayers I know. Congrats, Anna!
