Yesturday was GK20, and despite the fact that it was raining quite a bit for most of the day, it still was a lot of fun. A few folks besides me had fun doing Konoha Gakuen cosplays (mostly their own unique versions, not truly the official look; ~sailoronymoon did a pretty kickass Sakura that included a punk-y skirt & knee-high socks with cherries on them), so that was neat to see. There were also quite a bit of newcomers, and that rocked (like ~MiyuYuuhi, ~strawberryspots, etc.). The location chosen for this one was "Pratt Park", which is one heck of a cool playground that has all sorts of artistic and clever features (including a few that, as I and a few buds discovered, would make this place an epicly LOLtastic place to have a Yu-Gi-Oh photoshoot some day). And later on, I hung out with a small group that went to Westlake Mall for dinner (which included 2 awesome girls cosplaying as Deidara and Sasori). Just as we were eating, several Japanese teens came over and asked if they could take photos of us, and they were so delighted to run into people in cosplay. I'm not kidding about this... and it made dinner all the more awesome. XD

In other news, I'm eagerly looking forward to attending AkiCon (all 3 days! w00t!), and also hoping to save up the money I need for cosplaying as Janus at SakuraCon next year (it'd be the greatest joy ever to finally get to do one of my dream cosplays, and esp. a character from Chrono Trigger; and even if it doesn't get done in time, I still plan to run a little CT/CC photoshoot on the first day of the con - I've gotten quite a few folks happy about the idea).
