Connecticon! And upcoming: PENNSIC

Connecticon was fun! Unfortunately due to time constraints and the fact that it was 90 out, I didn't wear my RED Spy coat. I had made it out of 100% wool suiting, so even if i had managed to complete it in time I think I would've been ten times as miserable :c The heels I was wearing weren't painful, but I was walking in them for 16 hours total for hte convention so it added up...

Not everyone recognized my cosplay but that was fine, I still had a lot of fun running up to Ezios in my Leonardo mask, giving them hugs and such :'D They were all very good-natured about it and thought it quite funny. I met another cosplay who looks EXACTLY like Lucy from AC, it was almost creepy, but she was so adorable! I also saw Carlos Ferro again, who surprised me and actually recognized me! I figured with all of the cons he goes to he wouldn't have been able to know it was me, but I guess I was wrong

And I got to meet a great Joy and Sorrow cosplayer couple! Unfortunately I wasn't Ocelot when they were going as them, but I was Ocelot on Sunday where I saw them again (one out of costume, the other going as DiZ). They said they'd be going to Anime Boston, so I have really high hopes for meeting up with them again and having an awesome time as us MGSers always do at AB.

I was definitely wiped out for a few days after the con... I didn't get too much sleep OR food (because the restaurants, unlike AB, are further away and required a good deal of walking and then waiting to get to). However I've been recovering nicely, and have been trying to eat healthy to compensate for all the crap I ate at the con. Speaking of lack of sleep, the raves were pretty god at CTcon this year, much better than AB previously (then again, if it wasn't for the AB rave I wouldn't have run into my current boyfriend hurhurhur).

Soon I'll be making a list of cosplay things that need to be started/completed. The last two cons I've been rushing my cosplay stuff, and it's really an unpleasant feeling to be making a c osplay last minute and realizing you can't finish it in time. Of course, it's partly my fault, but I'd still like to get everything done for next AB well ahead of time so that way I don't have to worry about school and cosplay projects at the same time.
