gaia_starCalgary Expo POW! Parade Of Wonders: Maybe? I actually don’t take the day off for this. I usually go, if I happen to have the day off. I’m also unsure of what cosplay to wear for it. Weather is usually cold during parade, but then warms up afterwards. >.<
gaia_starOtafest: It’ll be my 15th year attending, but my first year as a staff member. I’m the new Cosplay Meetups Coordinator. I plan to host Fairy Tail, Bleach, and Kingdom Hearts cosplay meetups. My cosplay plans are Natsu in his X791 outfit (Fairy Tail), Toshiro (pre-Bleach TYBW), and KH1 Riku.
gaia_starAnime Expo: This is going to be another anime con scratched off my bucket list of cons to attend. I already know 2 out of 4 cosplays to wear, which are Mammon in his Everyday Clothes attire (Obey Me!) and KH2 Riku. As for the other 2 cosplays, I have a list of cosplays to choose from, which includes Camellia Gakupo (Vocaloid), female Ardyn (FFXV), Kisuke in his shopkeeper attire (Bleach), and Shikamaru (Naruto). The remaining 2 cosplays will be based on cosplay meetups happening at AX.
UPDATES!!!
gaia_star Even though I did have the day off for the parade, I didn’t go since I had some cosplay and staff stuff to finish for Otafest. gaia_star I went to my first Cupsleeve fan event, which was for Love And Deepspace. I did a closet cosplay of one of MC’s outfits. gaia_star For Otafest 2025, my confirmed cosplay (& respective meetups) lineup are Natsu (Fairy Tail), Toshiro (Bleach), and KH1 Riku (Kingdom Hearts)! gaia_star For AX, my current cosplay lineup is “You Always Ride Shotgun†Mammon (Obey Me!), female Ardyn (FFXV), Kisuke (Bleach), and KH2 Riku (for Square Enix cosplay meetup). Days 1 & 4 cosplays should be 100% confirmed while Days 2 & 3 aren’t yet. sweatdrop
UPDATE!!!
My Anime Expo cosplay lineup has been finalized! Due to be amount of autograph tickets that I had obtained and when the Obey Me! Boys’ autograph session is (I want to meet them as Mammon), I unfortunately miss some cosplay gatherings that I had wanted to go to, Therefore, my original cosplay plans changed. gaia_starDAY 1:You Always Ride Shotgun Mammon (Obey Me!) - I will be going to the Obey Me! cosplay gathering. gaia_starDAY 2:Everyday Clothes Mammon (Obey Me!) gaia_starDAY 3: Kisuke Urahara (Bleach) - I will be at the Bleach cosplay gathering for at least the first half of it. I have to runaway partly through it to lineup for an autograph. gaia_starDAY 4: KH2 Riku - I will be going to the Square Enix cosplay gathering.
Waiting for confirmation that I'm staffing Neko again this year. That, and I'm waiting on confirmation on crash space for same. If I get someplace close, I'm planning on bringing Stein out of retirement. I'll have to shave off the beard I've been growing for years, but...

Con update.
So my friends (the judges) loved my costume and they said that I would have been top three if there were rules about construction, at least I'm getting somewhere with my costume making. I'm going to try for a really fancy outfit next year at my first for-sure con.
