Yay! Thanks! I am so excited to finally start working on her!

Oooh! Are you bringing Tetra to the con? WE CAN TOTALLY TAKE PICS TOGETHER! XD

i'm not sure if i'm bringing tetra just because it's not very recognizable and the ears are a pain >__< (i can't tell you how many times my bf was trying to tear them off and reapply them to make them even)

maybe i'll reconsider and dress as her for friday....

are you being saria for ohayocon or are you gonna do it for colossalcon? cuz i can't wait to see it!!

Awwww! Your Tetra is soooooo adorable! But I totally understand about the ears and it not being as recognizable... those are both frustrating things. I was an elf from the Lord of the Rings a few years back, and I had the little latex ears... and they were also kind of annoying! I need to get some new (hopefully better quality) ones for Saria. I also hate it when I put a lot of time into a costume and hardly anybody recognizes you, except people in your own fandom.

Saria will definitely be for Ohayocon! Two months is more than enough time to finish her. Actually, we probably can't attend Colossalcon this year because they moved it all the way to Sandusky and that's a bit far for us... the main reason we went last year is because it was only about 20 minutes away which was totally convenient. I'm really mad that they moved it so far. If it was the only con we were attending, we woulddefinitely go... but we're already planning for Ohayocon and Otakon... and those are both much farther away and more pricey. :(

YAY! I'll most likely be cosplaying Saria on Friday too... at least I think! I haven't really figured out which day I'm wearing what yet, because I don't know what days my fellow cosplayers are wearing theirs. I need to figure all that out as it gets closer, I guess!

I will see if I can go to Colossal, but that is pretty close to the date of me and my fiance's honeymoon >_< It's unlikely that I'll be able to go, especially with Otakon over the summer (and possibly another con that I may be attending on March). I have so much stuff going on this year! It's crazy!

yeah, i suppose that is a lot of stuff to deal with in the summer. somehow i think a honeymoon would be more important.... >__<

otakon is pretty freaking huge and i would totally go to that one over colossalcon too.

what con are you thinking about in march?

Yeah, I am both nervous and excited for Otakon just because it's so ginormous! lol! I've wanted to go for years now and never thought I would be able to!

I'm thinking of going to A&G Ohio (in Cincinnati) in March. As of right now, I have no clue if I'll be able to make it due to other plans coming up... but I'd really like to try!

Basically, the only reason I'm going to be able to go to Otakon and possibly A&G is because I'm planning on on a road-trip with people and also sharing rooms with them... with Colossalcon, I wouldn't have any way of getting there that I know of, and I don't really know anyone who is attending (except for you of course!), or else I would try to be there!

ooooo I've heard of A&G but I don't know much about it.

I do know that Bowling Green has a one day (it's on a Saturday) anime con usually in March or April. It's free and they have a couple of vendors there. I go there with a couple of friends and it's a good time!! (of course if you're willing to drive 2 hours which I crazily am)

And it's usually a lot more fun with more people, so I can see why you'd choose Otakon over Colossalcon any day.
