Another Anime Con 2012 as press for Cosplayer Nation.

So AAC was at a new location this year. The hotel was on the same block as the greyhound bus stop. Getting there was simple. As for the Con it self we had a small problem getting our guest badges. The turn out for this con was good. It was clear that the "Homestuck" webseries has taken over this con. About 35 to 40 % of the cosplayers were from this series.

I had a chance to interview Misa on Wheels along with The Vagabonds for Cosplayer Nation. Being a part of the AAC Cosplay Death Match was a lot fun, I was there as Tobi from Naruto. Overall this was a nice con, though going out at night was a problem. I hated having to deal with drunks. This made going out for dinner at night a bad idea.

Rhode Island Comic Con 2012 as press for Cosplayer Nation.

Getting to Rhode Island Comic Con was not too hard to do. Once we got in, we received our press badges and went on our way to the Dealers room. The convention center wasn't used to its full capacity for Rhode Island Comic Con, seeing how this was their first year at this spot. I’m guessing they weren't counting on the amount of people who showed up. On a side note, I wonder whether having Beer Fest happen on the same day as Comic Con helped them or not. From what I was told, those people who got into Beer Fest got the discount price of 10 dollars to get into Comic Con.


Cosplayer Nation, with the help of my team, were able to get interviews with a handful of the guests who were at Comic Con. It was nice to see the convention center was also linked to the mall. For a small convention, I was really impressed with the amount of guests who were able to attend this con.
