PMX mini-report

[sakon76]

Back from PMX, which felt very small, was fun, and where I got to see/hang out with a lot of very lovely people, get mistaken for the Queen of Hearts (Disney, not Clamp, version) by a four-year-old girl, explain what was going on to the very nice Muggles sharing facilities with us (what is it with anime cons and being scheduled against religious conventions?) and admire lots of nice costumes. At least three of the entries utterly blew me away, a couple of them enchanted me, and Hoshikage's wonderful shininess and glowiness were appropriately appreciated by not only myself but the audience as well. And the judges! We both got Judges' Awards for our costumes. The dealer's room was very small: I found only three things that I wanted to buy. (One shitajiki, one HikaGo pin, and one "Cosplayer at Work" badge of Ishida from Bleach that I found in the artist's alley.) The Twisted Tea party event only had two entries when I went, but I like the idea and if they continue it next year I plan to participate. And other than that, I'm shattered and need to fall unconscious. I'll deal with cleaning and putting stuff away tomorrow.
