Going to my first comic con in a few hours in Birmingham.

Any tips people can give me?

And if anyone else happens to be going I'll be wearing a black/blue/white sunhat with the fox brand logo and 'JC' on it, sunglasses/glasses, black coat, and a rucksack (black/red/white with Fox brand logo).

Restricted myself to £100 sadly cause I have driving lessons to pay for sadly.

Plan your pannels out now pay for stuff only in hard curancey never use a debit credit card be prepared for lines and take some pics of the loot you get and most of all have a damn good time

I'm currently visiting family and I showed a wall scroll of Dead Master to my aunties 2 year old to which he responded, and I quote: "Hey Baby"

I almost pissed myself laughing!  

When I get home I'll post pics of all the loot I gathered, spent £85 in total and in under an hour (the realisation of that is beginning to sink in )...

Damn JC, that's how much catty spends on torture items for her bitches in an hour...... slow your roll junior

[JC 042]

I've still got another £800 stashed

And Im a masochist, so I rely on the other person to have the torture items

One thing that amazed me was a damn Furry cosplayer on Dance Dance Revolution, the guy scored a 300+ combo in just over a minute!!! The only way it could of been more impressive is if he was dressed as a wookie!

Really disappointed there was nothing Mirai Nikki or Girls Und Panzer, and the most I saw of Sword Art Online was hentai doujinshou (Im not 18+, dammit )

Your silence tells me most of you hate me for buying so much Black Rock Shooter merchandise?

Nope. Although I'm not surprised, I just have nothing to say. Not really into the whole anime-con thing, but I am curious.

[JC 042]

That awkward moment when you have more wall scrolls and posters than actual wall space

I'm having to take down existing posters to find space for the stuff I just brought.

Good bye Bunny Suicide poster...

[Paladin Xenos]

The whole "dress of as an anime character with tails and fuzzy shit" really scares me, thats why i kinda stopped talking lol but idc if other people do it, whatever makes you happy.

There are some really badass cosplayers out there who do it as a profession. I know of one cosplayer called Honey Hanako who does amazing Yuno Gasai cosplays.

But yeah, some people just REALLY shouldn't cosplay. I throw up a little every time I see a Black Rock Shooter gender bend cosplay

I know one too. She even owns her own little cosplay shop. She gets requests and hand-makes everything.

Dante's a cosplayer, and works from commission.
