Manifest 2010 - Quick run down, ILY EVERYONE!
Okay! Just a quick few key shots of costumes over Manifest in case I don't get a chance to write an actual report...which is quite likely. Somehow, this marked my 5th Manifest and 3rd year cosplaying - time flies when you're having fun?
I don't think I'll ever be able to thank everyone enough for making the con what it was. It was saved for me so many times by amazing friends...I don't even know man! XD But always a wonderful time, even if it did seem a bit smaller this year. Got to see a lot of people, go to more events than usual and completely fail at driving in the city! Fun times!
Thursday (Amaranth Ball)
Sheryl-cest with Astellecia.
Friday - Morning edition!
Fashion Vocaloids with Boo, Yumi, Annie, Kate and Sefiekins.
Friday - Evening-shoot edition!
Macross F shoot in the skkkky!
Saturday
Team AGITO: 20-somethings cosplaying school kids? Oh YES. Our vuvulicious skit is here - and we won Best Group! And then we crashed FFX with the POWER OF YES, who got Best Skit!
Sunday - the day of faith
Putting this one up as it's the best full body/costume shot, but there will be more! On my third attempt over two years, and $500+-ish later, Myobi is finally completed. I didn't win any prizes with her, but I still feel like such a winner for being able to finally put her away and say 'JOB WELL DONE'. I may add some beaded detail for a shoot later on, but that will definitely be a problem for a couple of months' time.
But as per entry title. Just. ILY everyone. If you were at Manifest, you were wonderful and amazing and made the con what it is. I don't think I can write a giant list of names because I'm bound to accidently forget someone, but kudos also to the organisers and volunteers. The ones I had contact with over the week-end were nothing but helpful, insightful and understanding, which is so much appreciated, and goes a very long way.
And lastly:
Mmm yees. And my blue sari fabric from India came in for my SydMAINia costume today! It's a sign! 83 Hope everyone got home safe and is recovering from sleep/food/sanity deprivation and con plague!
