Day 2 at Colossalcon East! I didn’t get enough photos or videos in Neliel Cow Beach Cosplay 🥲 but I’m attributing this to having a great time @colossalcon !!!

ColossalCon East was full of surprises. I had a record Thursday performance - not only for ColossalCon standards, but for all-time as well. Met some nice vending folk this time around that, like me, "were all so lucky to be there" (iykyk). This alone made the weekend stand out, but was just the beginning of what would become a memorable stay.

I cosplayed for a change. Most of you reading this know that I really only cosplay as a vendor. This was a nice, fun change of pace until I realized nobody recognizes secondary Ghost in the Shell characters. Wesker? Leon? Nanami? Fortunately, I now have a base to make any of these cosplays for next time.

We packed the AirBnB to the gills with friends and good people. I had my reservations about having this many personalities in one space, but somehow, everything turned out alright. Of all the experiments I committed to this year, this was the most daring but also the most rewarding. The final days of our stay were filled with conversations on the subject of "So what do we do better next year?", indicating that an encore for 2027 may be in order. On the last day of our stay, the weather took a sharp turn towards autumn and the weight of the resounding knowledge that summer was over landed in full force. Of all the conventions I've done, I don't know if the post-convention withdrawals were ever as strong. I was absolutely blessed to share it with the people that I did.

Smash poster matches: 6-1
As always, @kengardongatron holds the sole victory over me at nearly every ColossalCon. Good matches to all, especially the Snake player that bested me last year. We'll settle our tie-breaker next year. 💪🏼

It was challenging for me to be out of my comfort zone this weekend, but I am super thrilled I pushed myself to attend Colossalcon East! I met so many new friends and got to reunite with old ones as well. I played lots of games and had fun interactions with total strangers. My face literally hurts from all of the smiling and laughing this event brought! It was also nice to be able to bring home unique pieces of merchandise from some of my favorite games and fandoms. I am already looking forward to next year's convention and want to give a special thank you to all of the people who accommodated me to ensure this event would be a personal success!
