Now that Sakura Matsuri is over, I guess it’s time to plan for other events. Anyone going to the Japan Society cosplay party on the 15th? I already got a ticket and I’m planning to wear my Count D artbook kimono.

Panel application deadline for AnimeNext is coming up. Does anyone especially want me to do my seam finishes workshop there? Right now, I’m leaning towards not applying this year since I only got half a dozen people last year and I’d only get $10 back for doing a single panel. Plus, I usually request 90 minutes and run the thing solo. :-/ I’m happy when people show up and are interested in improving their sewing. But for that little, I’d rather spend the hour and a half hanging out with friends than giving myself a sore throat by talking on my own for over an hour. >_>;; (When I run it at AB, I get my badge completely reimbursed.) If anyone here wants to learn the material, I’d be willing to meet up at some point during the con and go over it quickly although I wouldn’t have most of my visual aids along like when I formally run the workshop. And I still have the optional $5 kits with all my notes and fabric samples for everything I cover.

And I’m still not completely decided on what to make for AnimeNext. I don’t have any groups to help decide. (If anyone wants to suggest one for a series I like, now would be a good time!) And although I have a bunch of cosplays I want to do sometime, I’m feeling kind of blah about any of them for this con. :-/ Because nearly everything I want to make is either down to the floor with long sleeves and layers (not good considering how warm it has already gotten this year!) or is non-anime. Right now, I think my most likely choice is going to be Valentine’s final episode dress from Gankutsuou since I’d be least likely to overheat in it. I’ve had the wig for this sitting around for like 3 years but never seem to actually get to it. >_>;
