Sterling & Gretchen (Kansas City, MO)
“One year there was an evangelist preaching outside to all us con-goers telling us what we were doing was sinful, and a bunch of cosplayers went up and gave him hugs. Well, they tried to. He wasn’t having any of it.” – Gretchen

Yaya Han (Atlanta, GA)
“When I quit my job to open a costume commission business in 2005, I took the leap to making cosplay my only source of income. Since then my business has slowly, painfully, amazingly developed into a variety of branches, all of which have something to do with cosplay and geek convention culture.”

“As for my best con experience, it has to be at SDCC 2013. I ran into the producers of Tron: Legacy. They were so incredibly excited to see me and the costume. They got pictures with me, and spoke with me at length about my love of Tron, and the costume.”

I could fill a book with all the funny things people do when they come up to Lightning [Final Fantasy XIII]. You would think such a serious character would turn people off, but they just eat it up! I remember one time this girl came up to me and said her friends really wanted a…

FIDM Library
Over the weekend at ALA, someone told me my book was actually at the library of FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) over in downtown LA. Now I’ve heard of FIDM for years but have never gone by. I guess FIDM is like SCAD ? Dunno as I’ve never attend either. So on the…
