So.. I've been planning on going to the Harrisburg Comiccon for awhile now, and it just so happened to fall on a weekend when my mom was coming to visit, so I ended up dragging he along! I'm really happy that she had such a good time and could get a taste of what it's like. I also got to meet up with my friend (whom I've known for 25 years - yeah, we're old), so it was a great girls-day-out. ^_^ SO - dpiddy was there, and if you don't know who that is, look him up on Youtube immediately. I was sort of fan-girling all day to get a picture with him, so I slowly slunk towards him with the intention of getting a picture.. but instead he asked me to be in his video! I about died.. and I got to slap the heck outta him (even though I still feel bad about it)! That was probably the highlight of the day. ^_^ I entered the cosplay contest - mostly because my friend wanted to enter. I pulled out the night before because I really didn't think my Sora cosplay (which is literally hot glued together) stood a chance, but when I got there, I was shoehorned into signing up (thanks, Matt). Prejudging was first, so I had a chance to stand in line for an hour before talking to three judges for three minutes about my cosplay - of which, the keyblade (one of the most essential parts) was bought. Aha. I was a wreck, but we made it through! During the actual showcase, we were invited up onto the stage to introduce ourselves, our cosplay, and show off a bit. That was fun and everyone just looked so great! Once everyone did this, they announced the winners. I was NOT expecting to even place (1st, 2nd, OR 3rd), but when they got to the first place, Maiacat Cosplay was announced as the winner! I kind of sat there in disbelief for a minute - mouth agape and eyes wrought with confusion - before I made my way to the stage to accept my prize, which was a bag of goodies and a trophy! I was so excited, and (it sounds corny) but it made it even better that my mom was there! ^_^
