Pacific Media Expo 2014

November 7 was my birthday. I would like to thank everyone who attended pacific media expo. It was a good convention, i guess. The panels I went to are Comfy Cosplay Guidelines and Anime Dodgeball.
For day two, the panels I went to are Vocaloid Concert, Decoding Japanese Culture: Roots of Idenfity and the PMX Dance. The Anime Dodgeball was canceled on Saturday. On Sunday, there was an Ulimate Naruto Fan Panel and a gathering at the gardens. Here are the notes that I took from the Comfy Cosplay Guide Panel.
The elements are:
- your choice of cosplay, time, physical condition, and the make of your cosplay
- cardboard is good to create costly
- cosplay coices: con activties, budget, love to the character and your friends plan
- if you are plan to masquerade, wear comfortable shoes
- Always try your costumes head to toe. Make adjustments as much as you can. Try your costumes a week before.
- wigs for size, hair length/weight, wig weight and styling
- undergarment that is right, has to be right and body suits
- waist, belt, weapon carrying, costume design and make corset, crinoline, just to fix it

Anime California 2014

The con-sweet should provide more food and drinks. Every department should have a budget, its not a freelance convention. The gatherings should be in the guidebook so the cosplayers know where to go. We should have a cosplay repair shop. We should have a medical office. For the concert, the staff should let the audience to mosh pit besides there is a big space to dance in. The panels was good, short lines and the timing was perfect. We need rules for the dress code. I met Kira Buckland, Steph Chu of Instagram, Rayko and Macho from Lolita Dark, Nana Doom Drops, Chocolate Covered Cosplay, Dustbunny, Nathan Hall, Danny G, Anastasia Wilson, Irene Cruz, Tiffany Silver, Jahlon, Marcela M, Dominique A, Vian D, Kevin Pham and Ethan Q from the Anime CA Staff. We need day dances. It would be nice if the dances were at different times so people could attend both fully without conflicting schedules, more video game torment would also be nice as well more musical guests. Also the security for the concert was very uptight and drained a lot of the energy from the show. A rock show is supposed to be high energy with lots of us to mosh until the end. Other than that, I enjoyed myself and would love to attend future events.

The negatives are consider guidebook app, split lounges and dances for ages with physical space and not by day, events hall can be too small, and adult amvs weren't p**n, reflect them… and the postivites are GOH interaction is intimate, keep con-sweet (con suite) and make it more visible, con staff are chill with no attitude, and always something to do. Thanks for your feedback, unknown attende!!!!! Love you!!!
