An Introduction to Comikaze 2011!

Photobucket

Going to Comikaze in Los Angeles was not a very difficult decision for me, despite that it’s over 2 hours away(I live in San Diego). For one, my friend whom I met at SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) last summer wanted to go there and I wanted to hang out with her again since we live so far from each other. So we agreed that Comikaze would be cool venue to attend.

So what is Comikaze? It’s a very diverse convention that caters to multiple genres so lot of different fans can come to Comikaze and have a good time. It was created when LA Comic Con got cancelled last August so it’s insane how they pulled this off in such a short period with a long list of awesome guests!  For example, Elvira made her last appearance at a major con in that legendary costume.

Ohayocon 2011 in Pictures

ohayocon201

Below you will find an assortment of pictures from mine and Nicole’s adventure at Ohayocon 2011.  It was an awesome, awesome time and I really was astonished at what a good time I had.  It’s not that I thought it would be awful, but being mainly centered around anime (in which I am not well versed) I wasn’t sure what to expect.  Having now enjoyed everything it has to offer (mostly) I’m more than ready to return next year, but will likely want to stay for the entire 3 days.  Nicole will probably weigh in on this at some point, but between meeting a lot of great artists, meeting the girl behind the voice of Mad Moxxi, going to an enormous nerd rave, and seeing a packed meeting room with geeks anxious to debate the Zelda timeline I wasn’t disappointed.  Check out more pics below!

Cosplay 101: Zoey from Left 4 Dead

Tonight Josh and I have decided to embark on the most epic event ever created: one of Columbus’ Zombie Pub Crawls. However, I chose to be different and be the zombie hunter rather than the zombie. I present Zoey from Left 4 Dead! I was only given 2 hours to make this work, so it’s not as awesome as it could be, but a better one is definitely on its way. Maybe Halloween next year?
