So, I just got back from Cos & Effect yesterday! I have to say it was the most fun I've had since my trip to Disneyworld. Unfortunately, I took a lot less pictures/video than I was expecting, simply because I was more overwhelmed by everything going on around me. I did get a few pictures of Hermione, and a guy took a picture of our Zombie Apocalypse day, so once he uploads to Facebook I'll throw that up here as well.

Overall, it was a great experience. On Friday we did make the mistake of showing up at 5 (when it was scheduled to open) instead of going early. Unfortunately for us, the Pre-reg line was quite a bit longer (and was moving a good deal slower) than the line of people buying tickets, so we ended up spending about an hour in line. Jay and I didn't mind so much because every minute or so we'd see someone in a cosplay we'd recognize and we'd fangirl, but Michelle was a bit lost haha. Unfortunately, we missed FDP's panel on this day, but we did go to the Masquerade Dance Lessons, as well as the masquerade! I also almost met Twin on this day. Because he was sitting like a couple feet away, but I didn't want to bug him. So I had a conversation with him on Twitter as he sat a couple feet away. Lol I'm an awkward chicken!~

On Saturday we ended up missing most of the panels we were supposed to go to because we got easily distracted, but we did go to the MLP: Cosplay is Magic panel, as well as FDP's Wig Styling panel. The  MLP panel wasn't exactly what we were expecting, but it wasn't terrible. The Wig Styling panel, however, was awesome and I managed to learn some new tips and tricks, as well as having a good laugh when they derped around. Haha, Saturday was the day I actually DID go and talk to Twin and Nova, lol. xD After I dragged Michelle and Jay away from lunch so we could go find them in the Artists Ally. :3 Other than that, we went to the Dealers Hall and I got my wig, and I also got some nice art from the artists ally. We went home early-ish so we could go out for dinner at a really posh restaurant. Jay and I had to go and check to make sure there was a table, and as we walked out of the car, there was a group of people who legitimately stopped walking and stared at us until we had walked into the restaurant. xD Our waitress, however, was a Harry Potter fan! She loved Michelle and I's cosplays haha.

Sunday was a rather quiet day at the con. There weren't as many people, though Pink Pie's Pony Picnic Party Palooza was fantastic. :3 We spent most of the day going between the Dealers Hall and Artists Ally, I got a small clip-in top hat and my Ciel rings/Sebastian pocketwatch, and also many buttons and a very very gorgeous piece of Black Butler art. We also met an awesome Denmark cosplayer (Scandinavia and the World, not Hetalia) who was very nice. :D

Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we're planning on attending many more conventions in the upcoming years, as well as hopefully three conventions next summer! :D

On a somewhat unrelated note, Michelle and I decided while at the con we were going to cosplay from Black Butler for next summer! I'm going to be cosplaying Ciel, and her Sebastian. Woooooo~

Pinky Pies Pony Party Picnic Palooza* Get it right... -_- we went over it for hours trying to say it right. but yes, we'll have to make sure that we get all the pictures and video's uploaded (I changed the Youtube Profile pic to Princess Baticorn already). And the Black Butler Cosplay is going to be amasing once we get it done!
