Show me, shoyu, momocon
« on: March 15, 2011, 03:02:50 AM »
So I'm at Momocon in Atlanta, and all of a sudden I see this man.

And I was, thinking, what you guys are probably thinking.  I-is this man for real?  Is this man for real?  How's he going to cosplay as Mima when he's both male and not a ghost.  Well joke's on me, turns out both gender and corporeality are a social construct!  So we hit it off swimmingly.  Turns out he's a mod of this very forum, a Twilight Sparkle.  So I thought I'd rereg and maybe post some Touhou cosplay.



Pics from the big photo op a lot of the cosplayers made it to.

Twilight Sparkle + a couple people who didn't make it to the big group.

Now this explains that impassioned defense of Mima in the Touhou 13 thread.

Also, that's a very very pretty Remilia there.

And that Ichirin is adorable! Good on her, cosplaying as a character who gets so little love.

Thank.  I'm planning on doing new Woody with the Mameshiba plush I managed to snag at the con.

Yes, and lines were still at least 30 minutes to an hour long.

Come to Otakon some time. Even pre-reg, an hour won't seem that long to stand in line anymore.

Nah, thanks though.  I prefer short lines, that's why I'm so pumped for TAF!

I like the Nue cosplayer. :3 Nue is more popular than Ichirin, but she needs some love too.

Last year's Otakon pre-reg line was pretty quick actually (less than 15 min), compared to 2009's "wrap around the block"  Thursday night pre-reg lines.

Well that's reassuring, as I'm planning on coming this year. Wonder what they did different last summer that they didn't do 2009.

Last year if you pre-registered  online, you received a conformation barcode that you would print out an bring to Thursday night pre-reg to get your badge.

2009, they didn't do that.

I still cannot wrap my mind around Momocon happening in Tech Square. I knew it was getting bigger and all when I left but I figured the Student Center and that other building would've been enough for a while.

Not as surprising when you check attendance from last year: 7,800.  Though I think the fact that there was a huge construction project that made navigating around on foot rather difficult might have figured in too.

The one guy who didn't met my friend while he (the former) was working at Waffle House, I think.  I haven't been there, and don't particularly want to.  I don't want to shatter my image of him cooking bacon as Mokou.
Ichirin is best cosplayer there, true story.
Best cosplayers overall imo would be Scanty and Kneesocks.

Actually, all the PSG cosplayers were good.



These guys were great too:


True story: seeing this guy walking toward me was terrifying.

Sure hope she hasn't. It's that kind of middle-school-level racist that you'd expect to see on 4chan.
