coraaIt's time for the yearly pilgrimage to AX!
They seem to have messed up their line management. I waited longer this year than I can remember waiting in pre-reg lines years past.
Kingdom Hearts costumes? Still extremely popular. (I have some thinky thoughts about the demographics of anime cons and the prevalence of women doing Organization XIII cosplay, in which they a) are dressed mostly as men, and b) are wearing about the least revealing costumes possible, and, relatedly, the way that ties into the culture of women-cosplaying-for-other-women when the stereotype is that women cosplay [skimpily] for the benefit of men. But I need to chew on that a bit more.)
It will be fascinating to be at an AX now that I know some Naruto.
Annnnnd that's it, given that all I did was stand in line. ;) More anon!
