International Cosplay Day, which I'll shorten to ICD, was a blast, and I attended the 3rd Annual ICD for this year with buddies from the DC Anime Club, which was split into a weekend. Lots of photo-bombing, girl power, and photoshoots happened that day, and we were the highlights at the US Botanical Gardens in DC.
The first day had a large group consisent of myself, friend and Club Prez Chris Wanamaker, and his wife, my friend and fellow blogger Momo, along with many others I met either for the first time ever, or at club meetings and conventions. Dealing with a lot of people, it was kind of a hassle keeping everyone in check, and Mother Nature's indecisiveness didn't help matters. A day filled with laughter, dancing, and shenanigans, I couldn't wish for anything better for a Saturday, despite almost not making it. I dressed as Rokuro "Rock" Okajima of Black Lagoon.
For Sunday, it wasn't AS eventful, but in a way fulfilling, since I regrouped with Melissa Williams and company after parting ways with Chris and Momo. Assisting them with a music video they're doing (still in progress), the day didn't feel like a waste for me personally, as I once again donned the garb of Sailor Moon's Malachite that day. The weather was still a hassle to bear, but I came prepared for it. Following this, I went around Capitol Hill in the outfit (and no complaints were heard), and then switched up and headed home, but not without doing a little shopping.
Oh, speaking of which, I also had a pic taken Saturday with Capitol Hill in the background: one by myself, and one with a Vocaloid Cosplayer, and we both had green ties that day. And now I must wash the other one for the Lolita Picnic this coming Sunday at the Freer Gallery. I will post what I can about that another day.
All in all, a grand time, and here's hoping ICD 2K13 will be bigger. Seiko Takeda, signing out!
