    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I went to my first convention!!!!!

Not a reptile convention though..

Yesterday, I attended CONvergecne.. the theme this year was "Steampunk".. (next year will be wonder women)

So I had about 1 week to make something to wear to go!! So I took a crack at steampunk accessories :D

NEXT.. I plan to find a good Elvira costume to wear to Crypticon (horror convention) that is coming up in November.

Here are the photos of what I made, as well as a few photos from the convention..


Choker and pendant

That looks like so much fun! My sister went to some anima convention last year and costumed up, she had a blast. I'll see if I can find the pictures. Steampunk would be more my kind of thing then anima but I don't like people touching me, so I don't know if I'd be well suited for the convention crowd. Someone might end up losing an eye while innocently in character. :rofl:

dragging up an old thread here, why not. 2nd year going to the SacAnime convention and this time I remembered to bring a camera. Figured I'd add a couple more cosplay photos to this thread.
random crowd shot while waiting in line:

And the reason I went - to get Jennifer Hale's autograph, she is the voice actress for Comander Shepard in the Mass Effect series and an all around awesome sweet person
