I cosplayed @ umicon!! Read for pics links.

Hey hey. Last december I volunteered and attended Durban's first anime and gaming convention, "umicon". I think the two days i spent at the event were the greatest days of my life so far. Never before did i feel so natural and truly happy. I was surrounded by the most amazing people i have ever met. People i could relate to in everyway. There was not i single trace of negativity at the event.
Wow! Besides the people the event itself was amazing. I did so many new and exciting things, the most memorable being COSPLAYING!! Yes, i finally cosplayed. I went as Gaara from Naruto shippuden (black costume, from first few episode). I made a big gourd, a goth suit, vest, and coloured my hair red. If you wanna see pics, search "umicon" or "durban otaku" on facebook. Or visit otakumag.co.za and browse the events forum-umicon pics. Or just google "umicon" and follow some links :) i also sang karaoke, did swordfighting, drawing competition, Naruto game competition, and ate a lot. Hope we have another event this year too :-)
