Got back from Nan Desu Kan 2013 Last night decided I should get back into posting. I quit my blogs to work on a charity and to due some political work. I'll get back to that in another post.
NDK was amazing this year. But some recap every year I enter into the costume/cosplay contest. Costuming is a huge hobby of mine and I rather enjoy it. I enjoy the cheers from other participants. The last 4 years have tallied a good collection of awards and honors, so I took a year off. Rather than compete I ran a "Cosplay Triage Unit" Consisting of Eric Moore, Barbara Dennis (Ara), and myself. You May know them via costumes like Duct tape Gundam and Vaporeon. We got to help a bunch of people fix their costumes before the went on stage. A Special thanks to Eric and Ara for helping me with it.
I would also like to thank Katie Huber and Christina Marzano Haystead of the NDK Staff for helping me set this up. I think it went well and I hope we can do it again.
So rather than competing in a cosplay event I stood around fixing costumes with gorilla tape, hot glue, and a sewing kit. I might suffer from some sort of mental ailment.
But I did Get to do a lot more than I normally get to given the time restraints of the contest.
So this year at NDK I took part in wondering around seeing the events I normally miss.
Like Make and Take: An event where you can make models from Japan and take them home with you.
This one is called Bob, not really but he is from the BB line of Gundam Models from Ban Dai. It was fun putting him together. You can pick models like him up at local model stores around the world. like Hobby Town or if you are in the Aurora/Lakewood area Colpar Hobbies. Speaking of Colpar Hobbies they gave me a gift certificate for a scratch build Dragoon pistol I made. I should get up there and pick Bob here up a friend.
The following Pictures are From NDK 2013 in Denver Colorado. If I have the name of the participants it will be posted. If you know them please share their name/contact info. If you know someone feel free to share their name and link the picture to their page.

Well that's all the pics I am going to share today. I will post a few more later this week. I hope you enjoyed these few that I have had time to photoshop. Anyone in the picture, if you contact me I will get you a copy, without a watermark.
Future topics, What is Team S.AB.L.E.. Why did everyone let the Ork King Take all those awards. Why won't your cellphone work at cons or how to stop worrying and meet the bomb, bomb people I mean. And probably the most important topic winning friends and influencing people without resorting to bribing them with Ramen and Sake.
One last thing, If you have a pic of me from a local con you might be entitled to prizes, fame, and fortune. Maybe, if your lucky.
Have a good night Peeps.
