Every convention I go to is always full of AMAZING costumes. I mean, I consider myself an adept costumer but, man, some of these people floor me. So here are a few of my favorite costumes that I saw this past weekend.... and these aren't in any order...because I don't think I could choose a #1 favorite. PS. some of these pictures are mine but some were borrowed from various places on the internet because I didn't have all the pictures I wanted for this blog. Okay so the scary guy with the sword and the crazy mask... he won first prize at the Cosplay competition. His costume was awesome.

It's also a smaller convention so there's not the tendency to get overwhelmed by crowds and stuff to see. I've been to cons that were so large that I would see people I knew and tell them that I'd catch up with them later, only to never see them again the entire weekend. All-con is not like that. There's lots of time ...
