Anime Day #9: Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011

Posted on 11:14 by thor
For the past three years I have been attending Anime Weekend Atlanta with my husband, Kyle Strickland; my good friend, Ryan Brown; and my best friend, Anna Heim. Past attendees may recognize us as "That Awesome Sailor Moon Group That Has the Melvin (Ryan)" or one year, "The Sailor Moon Group With the Moon Boot" (Anna had a broken foot).


This year we're retiring Sailor Moon and torturing ourselves with the complexity of Amano.

Click below the jump to see the costume schedule for this year. I encourage anyone who reads my blog or likes my writing to say Hello! If you bring your Con Program with you, I'll autograph the Olympia Heights ads.

FRIDAY
Partying, Partying, Yeah!


Friday our group will be arriving early the check in to our hotel and sign up for a judging space for Saturday's costume contest. Our Friday theme is Eden of the East. I will be dressed as Diana Kuroha, complete with cigar cutter and victim (my husband in a gimp mask and suit).


That's right. I'll be blue-haired lady.
Ryan will be Takizawa (pictured above) and Anna will be Saki.

SATURDAY
The Main Event


Saturday is costume contest day and so we will be making the rounds in our ridiculously complex Final Fantasy IV costumes. Expect real leather armor, beads, dangly things, dyed wigs, and epic capes. I will be dressed as Rosa Farrell and carrying my own Seraphim Mace prop.


Kyle will be Cecil, Anna will be Rydia (you should see her massive green wig coming a mile away), and Ryan will Kain. We all have prop-weapons, made by me. I'm most proud of Ryan's leather helmet with mobile dragoon mask visor.

SATURDAY NIGHT
Casual Friday Saturday

Kyle and I have opted not to Cosplay Saturday evening after the contest. We'll change and chill in our jeans and Matter Deep Publishing T-Shirts. However, we will be with Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey (Ryan and Anna), so look for us and say Hi!

SUNDAY
The Final Day

Last year's Death Note Cosplays return with a few minor improvements on Anna's Misa and some better  (looser) slacks for my Light. I will be Cosplaying Light Yagami. My husband will be L, Anna will be Misa, and Ryan will be Matsuda!

Find me at AWA!
