The PDF mentions Cosplay etc

Butterscotch

I am organising the cosplay part. So far myself and two other cosplayers have confirmed to promote cosplay at it and we will be giving a short talk about cosplay in Japan at this event. If you are a cosplayer and would be interested please pm me and it would great if you could pm a photo of you in costume. I am looking for three other cosplayers.

Just to note that cosplay must be good to excellent standards, as we would like to show a good impression. In Japan cosplay is seen as more then just dressing up, it is an art form and a craft. Therefore lots of effort goes into costumes and cosplays. It is great seeing people showing an interest.

I'll definitely be heading to this. Looks like a fun way to spend the afternoon!

Was it you that was elected to do the talking part on the day Butterscotch?
Well done anyway, the cosplayers section was v. interesting (though I am biased in that I know one of the cosplayers!)

I only got to see the introduction to Anime/Manga presentation, but I enjoyed it. I didn't notice any cosplayers about ?

Butterscotch

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. I would like to thank the cosplayers for getting on the stage with me. We were all abit scared but nevertheless it was fun.
