PAX AUS 2013

[sinnatious]

So!  PAX AUS is a thing that happened.

I had not actually planned on to go to PAX AUS. Well, I did want to, but the tickets sold out five months in advance, which is something that has never happened to an Australian con ever, so I was left with nothing but jealous regret and focused my con hopes and energies elsewhere

Every time I read this sort of entry from you I'm like, Damn, I need to try cosplay in Australia. It looks like so much fun (even if it's not really a cosplay-con ^^')

[sinnatious]

You should! Flights to Australia from Japan are super cheap and it's always awesome fun. (But surely cosplay is fun everywhere?! Well, from what you've said maybe the rules are a little strict in Japan.)

[dokuganria]

I know! I'm actually considering flying down for New Year's if I don't have to work. Don't know if it's a good idea to cosplay there during the Summer though... =P

[sinnatious]

Heh, it depends on the cosplay! It's great for all the stuff you'd otherwise freeze in. Depends what part of the country you're in too. Although New Year's is a bit of a dead zone for cons... The last one is in mid-November, and that's it until late February. Still, do come visit!

[dokuganria]

Argh, I figured it might be that way. Cosplay's somewhat dead everywhere around New Year's. Ah well, if not, I can always fly down at some other point ;)

(Ooooor you could fly up here sometime and I'd show you why Japanese cons are awesome and really sucky at the same time... =P )

[sinnatious]

Haha, I might actually! I lost my job last week (another studio dissolved under my feet) and if I'm still unemployed in a couple of months I'm planning on some globe-trotting, and in that case will definitely be swinging by Japan. :)

[dokuganria]

Oh. Damn, that's too bad =(

Still, it would be awesome to have you visit! You're totally welcome to my place, even if it's tiny and stuff, and we should take you to cons and fun fandomy places. You've been in Tokyo before, right? Hahah, Tokyo Game Show would be the place to go. Yes. OMGCAIUSOMUCHYES XDDDD I think umarekawareru will be around somewhere in the country as well, actually...

[sinnatious]

I've been to Tokyo before, yes! Ahhhhh I would LOVE to go to Tokyo Game Show but if I do come around it would be more December/January. (The idea is to stay put until my lease runs out early November, and I want to stop by a couple of other places first!) Oh yeah, I have her on Facebook and she's mentioned she's heading over to Japan for a while too. Awesome~! Haha, almost makes me hope I don't find a job before then! :P

[dokuganria]

Hahah, okay... yeah, that makes sense. If I end up not taking this job another year I might do something similar =D

Wait, why don't I have you on FB? T_T'

[sinnatious]

You're on Facebook? 'Sin Sinnatious', add me! (I was quite late to the Facebook party, that is probably why. :))

[dokuganria]

...yep. We have some mutual friends, even >D
