The End of a Cosplay Era
They say that all good things must come to an end. After 10 years of cosplay awesomeness and two cosplay contest victories, I recently attended my final con ever as a cosplayer. This was BentonvilleCon in Bentonville, Arkansas. It was a one-day fun-filled event with cosplays, pop culture vendors, special guests, a video game tournament, a gaming room, and a cosplay contest. My final cosplay was Baseball Hall of Famer, Reggie Jackson along with a 3-D printed World Series trophy created by my long-time cosplay craftsman. I entered the Four Points Hotel, where the convention was held, with both happiness and sadness, being it would be the final time I stepped foot inside of a venue as a cosplayer. During my time there, I was interviewed by a local news station about what being a cosplayer meant to me and attending my last convention. To end this eventful day, I participated in my final cosplay contest. While I didn't win any awards, I won the hearts of the attendees and everyone else at the event. After that, I left the event and headed home, closing the chapter to a 10-year cosplay journey that has been filled with wonderful memories I'll remember forever.

Who is Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog, the edgy anti-hero of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, is a character who embodies coolness with a capital C. Born from Sega’s desire to inject some much-needed grit into their blue blur’s universe, Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2 in 2001, immediately gaining popularity for his brooding demeanor and mysterious past. But his origins are a bit more complicated (and amusing) than his dark backstory might suggest.

Geek Chic
The roots of geek culture can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when science fiction literature, comic books, and early computer technology began to capture the imaginations of young enthusiasts. These early adopters formed tight-knit communities, often meeting in basements or garages to share their passions and discoveries. Despite being marginalized by mainstream society, these geeks laid the groundwork for the cultural revolution that would follow.

Continued from weekend 5... We are down to the penultimate weekend. We are getting tired, but still love what we do. There is an odd mix coming of 'I'm ready for it to be over' vs 'I don't want it to be over.' We keep moving forward, we have no other choice.
