Best part is where he spoke with a group of cosplayers:
To the left of our trailing storm trooper, young men posed for photos in various battle positions, entering deep into their characters’ psyches. Beneath the shade of some nearby trees, costumed groups relaxed and chatted, their role-playing on hold. I took a seat next to a platoon of blue uniformed characters and scanned the schedule of the day’s events: ”cosplay chess,” was the first item listed, followed by “Team Four Star,” “Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged”, “Carl Horn- Show a Fansabu,” and, a personal favourite: “Robot Unicorn Attack”.
Overwhelmed, I waited for the photographer before approaching the group in the matching blue suits. They informed me that their costumes represented characters from a video game. When asked how they got coordinated, they explained that it was all done over the internet, and brought to life by a few in-person sewing parties. They were all too happy to pose for a picture.
You guys totally know who those cosplayers were:
Ahhh, con . . .
