It sounds really awesome! But I don't think I'm gonna travel that far for that.

It's a great option if you can't get to SDCC or even NYCC, depending on where you live of course. I have friends in Chicago so it's a Con trip and friend trip all in one.

If you have their mobile app, they uploaded some panels today.

"I have no sewing machine but I must cosplay!" on Saturday.

Basically, as someone who had to rely on a lot of people to help me with cosplay (and only recently getting to where I can make my own with any competency), a few friends and I thought it would be good to make a panel where we talk about helping people who may have little or no skill at actually making things, and how they can still get into the cosplay action. Everyone has to start somewhere, after all, and I really believe that anyone who wants to cosplay, should be able to.

Haha, I'm slowly getting better, but it still terrifies me half the time, so trust me, you'll be in good company! Have you been to C2E2 before?

I have! I attended last year. I have friends in Chicago so I get to kill 2 birds with 1 stone!

I'm actually cosplaying this year as Kate Bishop from the Hawkeye #9 cover. I was able to use things I already have and purchase things that I needed.

Dude that's awesome it's going to be my second year as well. And that's awesome--I love that outfit.

I love C2E2. It's a nice mix of everything.

I'm not able to go to this Con, but that sounds like an awesome panel! I'm good at finding random items and putting them together, but my sewing skills are crap. I have to commission costume pieces from professional tailors and/or Etsy people.

Thanks! Yeah I do a lot of commissions too; I work a lot and there just aren't enough hours in the day to do things.
