Anime Weekend Atlanta

AWA has once again come and gone. Mikel and I had lots of fun dressing up this year. On Friday we were characters from a zombie video game called Left 4 Dead. Here's a picture of our characters and pictures of us.



I made the hand gun and shot gun using pvc pipe, cardboard, styrene, hot glue and spray paint!


On Saturday we dressed as Final Fantasy characters. Mikel is a Dragoon and I'm a Black Mage. We made most of both of these costumes ourselves. For Mikel's armor we used foam sheets and hot glued styrene (a thin moldable plastic) onto the foam. I sewed my hat and cloak from scratch.



As is tradition, we ate at Jocks and Jills. Thanks to mom and pop we actually ate there twice this year!


On Saturday night we saw a Japanese action comic rock band called Peelander-Z perform. They were a lot of fun. They say they are from planet Peelander-Z and their names are Peelander yellow, green and red. They also signed a poster for us.


A fun time was had by all!
