Hey guys! Sorry for my long hiatus. Various things have come about and I will catch everyone up on it here. This may be a 2 part blog~
So for the majority of the time, since my last post, I've been doing school, teaching Korean and Japanese penpals English,volunteering at Escapist Expo , knocking out one more Animania event at Jacksonville Mall Suncoast with some of the D20 Girls, and being a panelist. For what you ask? A first year local convention, Monitacon!
If you don't know what the D20 Girls are, we're basically a nonprofit organization that stands to squash the negative images of girls in the gaming/nerd/geek fan-doms and industries. We go to several conventions as either panelists, volunteers (registration, badge check, running cosplay contests, working booths,etc), we try and do our parts in the community and raising awareness for charitable events and we are a force to be reckoned with!

| D20 Girls at Escapist Expo |
I attended Escapist Expo (Oct 4-6) as a D20 volunteer and met with some interesting and cool people at the registration area. I had the fortune of meeting quite a few of the D20 girls I hadn't crossed paths with before, and got to see some I hadn't seen since earlier in the year. Such awesome girls. And, they looked astounding in their Apocalyptic Disney cosplay, which the girls were sporting during the Cosplay Contest we ran (which was streamed live). There's a lot of footage of the D20 Girls at Escapist Expo floating around~ Woohoo!

So, fast forward to October 13th, and we have another Animania Event at Suncoast! That certainly crept up quite quickly!
This time we also had quite the pleasant turnout, and people came out in some pretty wicked cosplays! Check out the full album on Facebook: here
Thanks to everyone who came!
