Advisory
May 7 through May 9 I’m going to be at Costume-Con 28 in Milwaukee. If any of my readers should also attend, note that I probably won’t be in costume — although I have a closet full of medieval garb, most of it doesn’t fit anymore, and I have little time for sewing these days — but I will be armed with a camera, which I will not hesitate to use. You have been warned.
Should you be within reach of Milwaukee, the convention is worth catching if you have any interest in costuming at all. It’s cosplay-friendly — the top masquerade winners in the 2007 con were a Trinity Blood group.
With a little luck, I might be able to catch a showing of The Secret of Kells on the big screen on the way home.
Spies like who?
A friend and I are planning to attend Costume-Con 28 next year, and we need to start working on our costumes soon. The theme is “spies.” I’m too tall for Boris and she’s too short for Natasha, and I’m not particulary interested in James Bond, or most other spy movies for that matter. So, I’m wondering what spies there are in anime worth considering. Let’s see: there’s Tenhou and Tenten from Oh! Edo Rocket, and Yomiko Readman and Drake Anderson from Read or Die (I don’t think I should ask my friend to be Nancy). I’m sure that there are others. What other pairs of spies are there?
Update: Are you a fansub team looking for a new project? Consider tracking down and translating the video of the stage play Oh! Edo Rocket. There are some brief excerpts here.
