Just got back into Mission today! I was staying in Vancouver on the weekend because I went to Cos & Effect, the Convention that replaced Anime evolution this year.

I prepared my costume for about a week and I'm glad I finally got to wear it. While I was proud of the design I made, I think the actual costume I made could have been better (like I said, only worked a week on actually sewing it). Seeing all of the amazing costumes this weekend has only made me want to start working on new cosplay. The next time I'm definitely doing something intricate and not as well known. I want to make something that I'm confident nobody else would be going as but Interesting enough to catch attention from people even if they don't know who the Character is. And like I did with my concept for my Rocket Uniform, I'm keeping that a Secret for now.

Between Victoria and Vancouver we usually only get 2 Conventions a year (I've never traveled down to Seattle for Sakura Con and it's other conventions). If Cos & Effect could happen in the Spring or Fall Seasons (like March or November) I t

Anyways, that's all I've got for now. I'm still recovering from yesterday's exhaustion.

As always, Thanks for Reading.
