1stly that its a moving convention? O-o 2ndly that I hear like absolutly NOTHING about this thing other than ppl telling me to go... and the site is kinda defunct and confusing...
o_________O and it seems like noone goes/like its some sort of secret underground convention that you can't go to unless your all in the secret cult...kinda like the costumers guild XDDD
LOL it's not a secret society, it's just mostly populated by people from the sci-fi/fantasy con circuit, many of whom don't have much of an online presence. We're trying to spread the word to anime costumers, though, because the ICG/Costume-con people are really happy and enthusiastic about new blood.
Costume-con and Worldcon both travel each year; local organizations of costumers submit a bid to host a Costume-con in their city. Next year will be in Iowa, then the year after that in Missouri.
Costume-con is a mecca for people who care about costumes - all the discussion panels are costume-related, there are workshops for learning all sorts of cool stuff like leather-working, hatmaking, maskmaking, prosthetics, lacemaking, etc. And there are three Masquerades - Historical Costume, Fantasy/Sci-fi (includes anime and pretty much everything else), and a Future Folio Contest (in which people design fashions for the future and then those who compete choose a design and make it
( ... )
I know what you mean though, about cosplay and life. I have so many other things in my life that I deem more important but I don't want to be forgotten (not that I was ever known) in the cosplay world before I at least finish up the costumes I vowed to do one day before I retired the hobby. Since it's been over a year since I wore a costume at a con I guess I just want to show everyone that I'm not all talk. Hmm.. Oh well, we'll hang out a bit there, kay? ^_^
