Hnnnng so jealous I couldn't make it to AX this year. But it seems like you had a good time, which is awesome! Haha I was stalking around for photos of AX to see what people wore and what not. You will be posting photos soon, right? I-I want to see all the cute Sweet...

This might sound really silly, but last year, I actually snapped a photo of you. Though obviously at the time I didn't realize it was you. But you started mentioning your Felicia costume and I was like OHMYGOD. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/gaiaart/Anime%20Expo/ax09037.jpg

Funny isn't it? xD

Yes, I'll definitely be posting photos of the sweet group! Hatsuu and Jill were so cute dadlfkjfjds

Haha! So we have kind of met before then, right? Are you coming out to another west coast con again soon? I need more Metal Gear friends to hang out with- and our group needs an Otacon to be complete!

Haha I know! Kind of funny how those things work out.

I-I sadly don't have any plans currently. It's really freaking expensive to fly out there and I'm like...all the way on the other end of the country. And paying for hotel and ffff.

My friend and I were talking about going to AX next year, so maybe. But that all depends on money and all that good stuff. ;==;

I hope you can come out again sometime in the future, even if it is really far! Or maybe I'll have to visit an east coast con~

It was so nice to see you!! It's too bad we didn't get to hang out more, but I was having such an 'off' con that I probably wouldn't have been much fun anyway.

Oh yes, isn't it just weird when you still get photographed out of costume? I've had that happen a lot at other conventions and it always confuses me.

It's understandable! California is in the middle of the desert, so being from Canada it must've been really terrible. I'd probably die of cold if I went to a con up there! Did you ever get to wear your Cammy?

Yeah it's pretty bizarre! I always wonder if they think I'm cosplaying, or if they're being creeps.

Hi,

I ran up to you on Saturday afternoon to ask for a picture, but unfortunately from the side I approached on I couldn't see that you were on the phone. I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for interrupting. It was kind of rude.

Sadly for me, that was right when my friends and I were leaving AX. I just wanted to say that I thought your Selvaria costume was awesome! I saw several Squad 7 characters walking around, but you were the only Selvaria. Selvaria happens to be my favorite character from Valkyria Chronicles, so I was hoping to get a picture, but I guess it wasn't to be.

Now I see here that you were also around as Selvaria on Friday too!? Double failure on my part.

Anyways, again I'm sorry for interrupting into your phonecall, and great job on the costume! I hope to catch you at a con next year, whatever you're cosplaying.

Oh don't worry about it! It actually happens a lot to cosplayers.

I'm glad you liked my Selvaria cosplay, and I will be wearing it again at future cons, so maybe you can get a photo later? I feel really bad that you weren't able to get one-- in the future, stick around nearby for a few minutes and after the cosplayer is done eating/talking they will usually be happy to do photos then (unless they're trying to get somewhere!

Unfortunately, you and your crew were really moving somewhere in a hurry! (So were my friends and I since we were leaving). It's good to know that you'll be rocking the costume again in the future. Between the surprise of seeing a Selvaria at the absolute last moment, realizing that I was interrupting a phone call, and the shock of suddenly coming face to face with your red contacts, my brain mostly shut down at that point, and I didn't even try to follow or get my friends to wait a few minutes. The lance and shield that I caught a glimpse of looked pretty awesome. Well, now I've got a goal of someone specific to look out for next time.

I did cosplay myself once - Serge from Chrono Cross back at Fanime '04 in a costume made by a friend of mine. It was a surreal experience, but I'm sure it's something you get used to. Certainly, it was a lot of fun. I'd do it again if I had friends into the scene who still lived near me.

Hey, I hope you don't mind that I added you! I took your picture twice (here and here) at AX - your costumes were amazing!

I didn't actually *meet* you but I roomed with Hatsuu this year and she said you were incredibly nice, so I thought I'd go ahead and add you on LJ. Hope that's ok! :)
