Herein lies (and a truer word has never been used) the reports of every con (mostly cosplays) I have ever been to. Note that all are written by a total newbie who has no idea what he is talking about (ie me).
Still, it's fun. For me, at least.
The reports are fairly image-intensive. Most of the images, in turn, are set at 640x480 pixels in size. Therefore, if you have a slow connection, you might have a long wait.
Unless otherwise stated, I'm usually the tall bespectacled guy in black toting a digital camera. Now you know.
Newer entries are near the bottom. Reports may be altered without warning.

Next coming Cosplay:
Your guess is as good as mine.
For once, I've actually gotten enough enquiries to put together a FAQ. Well, not really a FAQ, but more like a list of guidelines that hopefully make sense. Not all of these questions have actually been asked (some have, just not all), but it's better to be safe than sorry, yes?
1. I don't want my picture to be here!
Ah, right. If you have any objections whatsoever to your picture being put up here, feel free to email me, and I'll take the pic down at the earliest oppurtunity. I cannot vouch for the fate of any downloaded copies though, since I am not omnipotent, nor have I taken the Red Pill.
2. How come it takes so long for corrections?
This is usually due to two reasons. One is that the server this page is on is being very unfriendly, and flips me off whenever I try to upload things. More likely, I am simply procrascinating, with or without good cause. I'll get there eventually, just not on a timescale known to any sentient being, even myself. Please do not ask why this is so; this is a process that cannot be explained.
3. Can I use some of your pics? (aka the one question which was actually asked)
After much deliberation, I have decided to add in a few conditions to the original blanket permission for all and sundry to use my pics. Firstly, and this is an entirely selfish clause, please credit me somewhere if you can. Anywhere. I don't really care where, as long as my name appears somewhere in the general vicinity. If this is impossible, then, well... actually, it's not that big a deal. Whatever you want, really.
Secondly, and this is slightly more important, if you can, please provide me with some means of contacting you. Email, ICQ, AIM, whatever. I'm not going to do anything horribly occult to your contact info, if you were wondering. However, if someone were to invoke FAQ #1 on me, I'd like to be able to inform you of the subject's intent. This is just a precaution, and may never be used. But still. I hope you understand.
Thirdly, and this is a great deal more important, please do not direct link to the pictures. This is borrowed webspace, given entirely on the good grace of a good friend, and I am eternally grateful for that. Therefore, it is imperative that I do not hog too much bandwidth, or some very painful decisions may have to be made. The one and only exception to this rule is Static-Pulse, and that's because he's the aforementioned guy who owns the server space. Therefore, the one actual Rule to be followed is do not direct link to any of the images.
And that's about it for the moment. I'll stick in more guidelines when (if) any more enquiries come in.
