Wondercon 2011: cosplay preview
This year for Wondercon, I am straying from the scarier themes of cosplay (I was American McGee’s Alice for 2 occassions last year) and going with something cuter.

How to Survive San Diego Comic Con
I have now attended my 10th SDCC and I would rank this years to be one of the best ones – I know, I always say that every year. I don’t know how it happens, but it really does feel like SDCC gets more and more crowded every year! Walking on the floor shuffling half a foot at a time can really strain your back! I guess I’m just not that young anymore. :P
