March has been a busy month for me! First was Momocon, which is a local favorite convention of mine. This con was really chill for me and I spent most of my time just catching up with friends and enjoying sitting in the Marriott lobby without thousands of people crowding it. (Momocon was held in the downtown Hilton next to the Marriott Marquis. Both are also Dragon*Con hotels.) I managed to make two new costumes: Ritsu as Juliet from K-On, which I wore with Tham as Mio/Romeo, and Adorabeezle from Sugar Rush/Wreck-It Ralph! I also rewore Lethe from Fire Emblem along with Envel, which was a lot of fun!

          

I just got home from PAX East this week! This convention was a completely different experience for me. For the first time ever, I decided not to cosplay at a convention. Instead I went to a lot of panels and really took my time checking out the exhibition hall. As much as I love to cosplay, I also really enjoyed the freedom I had at this con that costumes and photoshoots sometimes hinder. That said, my mind is already considering the possibilities for PAX next year…perhaps a League of Legends costume? I have to say PAX was one of the most organized conventions I’ve been to. Every panel I went to went smoothly (and was hilarious), the exhibit hall left my jaw agape, the PAX app was incredibly helpful, and the omegathon made a jenga competition nail-biting fun in a theater packed with thousands of people. With freeplay rock band and dance central, a game library where you could check out and play just about any game you wanted, and half a convention center of tables set out with card and board games to play, there was always something to do. I have a long list of games I need to try out now, including some big titles to anticipate. Also, this convention couldn’t have been held in a better place. Boston is beautiful and I would love to go back!

I’m still trying to recover from this busy month, but JordanCon is right around the corner. This weekend I’ll be getting started on my Min Farshaw costume! There are a lot of things coming up that I’m excited about, including several photoshoots. Please stay tuned!
