Last post until Fanime, and then things will finally calm down enough that I might be able to catch up with things online o.o
Thank you guys so much for your patience and support. I'm sure a lot of my responses to questions will end up really late, and I might not be able to thoroughly get through everything (mainly journals and deviations) that have been piling in my inbox over the past few months.
For those who don't know what all has been going on this past year, I was really busy with college until May of last year, and then I was preparing my own wedding, and then it was convention after convention after convention. Heck, I might still be pretty busy after Fanime since I want to get my chain mail done this summer, but I'm sure I can take a few days to just go through my inbox.

I actually don't really have any new costumes at this con, but I've been spending the time between Acen and now working on some costume things for Kyle as well as a SKIT!
If you'll be at Fanime, please come to the masquerade/cosplay spectacular on Sunday and watch us! I can't say anything that spoils what we're doing, but I will say that I'm super obsessed with how amazing our audio turned out. I'm excited about this whole skit in general, but also really nervous; it's been a long time since we've one, and I've never done a skit at a con this huge before. Wish us luck! <3 We're going to be introduced as "Bonds of Friendship" Productions for this skit.

Also, I know I briefly had a journal up about my bookmarks being for sale at Fanime, but because of the new rules in the artist alley this year I'm unable to sell them at my friend's table, so I took it down. Really sorry, guys :<  I might make them available on etsy or something in the future.

As for cosplay plans:

Friday - WRGP Yusei in the earlier part of the day, and then Guy for the second part of the day.  I might not be able to bring my sword for Guy though since it probably won't fit in our checked luggage. I'll be attending the YGO gathering at 12:30 at the fountain.

Saturday - I'll be in Yusei, and then Kaito for most of the day. I'll be attending the SJ meet up panel at 5pm, and then I'm helping host the YGO fan panel at 10pm.

Sunday - I'll be wearing Skyloft Link until the masquerade/cosplay spectacular. Didn't get my sword done, but I'll hopefully have time to finish a quick prop. :3 I'll be at the Zelda gathering at 2:30 unless I need to be at rehearsal...which I really hope doesn't conflict with those plans D:

Monday - Wearing Guy again

I'm super excited about the things going on at this con, and the friends and people I finally get to meet. Kyle and I are actually leaving today to St. Louis, and my mom will be taking us to the airport Wednesday morning. We'll be in California for a whole week! We're staying with a bunch of awesome friends, and they'll be giving us a couple tours around San Francisco and some other places on the days when we're not at the convention. I've never been to the west coast before, so it'll be a whole new experience :3

See you guys in a little over a week! (or at Fanime, if you'll be there :3)
