Though I'm sure it will blow up again and everyone and their dog will be cosplaying Sailor Moon XD

Weapons are always fun, me and my bf are going to have our try at making me a scythe, which will be my first major prop construction in my 10+ years of cosplaying, so I know the feeling of looking forward to making a fun prop =P Lol, you say mind-eff, and I immediately think of FLCL XDD *random*

Good luck with deciding on something though ^_^

Watch them change everything just to mess with the cosplayers. Hair colors, outfit colors and designs.. that would be so mean to everyone.

And thanks for the help! Hopefully it'll be something awesome no matter what I pick. I hope to see you there, too.

I don't know about anyone else, but now that Ikkicon is over I'm even more excited for Matsuri.

[benihime]

I didn't go to Ikkicon, but I HAVE been excited for Matsuri.

[Sailmoon2012]

My boyfriend and I will be attending, as well as our group!
Not sure if y'all have heard the rumors circulating around, but I've heard down the rumor mill that this is AM's last year if they don't raise any profit. I'm not believing anything until the officials themselves say something, so let's just all hope and pray that one of our beloved Texas cons isn't going away!

Anyway, we're entering the WCS in our secret cosplays, but we know that our group is for sure gonna cosplay Eureka Seven. We'll have a Holland, Eureka, Renton, and Gidget for sure. Talho and others are tbd at the moment.

I actually wasn't excited until I woke up today and realized "omfg it's 2013 already" and that I'm not nearly as close to being done with my current costumes as I would have liked, so I got really nervous, then realized AM is only a couple of months away, got excited, then more nervous ... now I'm just kinda jumping in between the 2 XDD

Nope, hadn't heard that before, but I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I'm sad to see it go, because it's the last Houston con we have, Kamikazekon died out years ago, Delta-H-Con isn't even big enough to be considered a convention, and Oni-con moved down to Galveston where the hotel prices are beyond outrageous ... if AM leaves, we're going to be down to 0 in-town conventions for those of us who live here =/
On the other hand, I've only been to AM once before, and it was because I had a table in the dealers room, so I didn't really get to run around a lot, and didn't get to participate in any events or anything, so I don't really know how the convention is, though I've heard mixed things, some say it's awesome, others say it's really bad, all I know is I've dealt with the staff, higher ups, and even the owner/starter of the convention, and they all suck, they're rude, they lie, and they do everything they can to jip you out of money, so in that sense, I'd be happy to see it go. /rant

Maybe if the rumors are true, someone could just jump in and take over, and keep everything going, but replace the staff and run it better? That would be cool, lol. But yeah, I agree, I wouldn't believe anything until you hear something from the officials.

I'm working on two different Zelda cosplays, literally... One TP Zelda and the other Tetra....
What fabric do you guys think i should use for Zeldas Purple/Pink bodice (Velvet, poly-satin- taffeta, etc.)???

[Viverra]

I'm planning on having Aria T'loak from Mass Effect and C.C. Empress Dress from Code Geass at AM. This will be my first Matsuri (:

[RobbyKun]

I'm super stoked about the new location for AM this year! Mainly because it's going to be alot closer to where I live.

Also, it gives me a chance to make up for my laziness of cosplays from the rest of 2012.

I got Shinya Kougami from Psycho Pass and Gilgamesh from Fate/Zero planned.

[lady.otaku]

Totally doing Sakuya (SAO), Erika (Pokemon) and Juvia (Fairy Tail). So excited for Matsuri this year...first con that I'm 21 >

[yamibakura03]

After rechecking the guest that are coming to AM, im super hype especially Johnny Bosch appearance. I can finally have him sign my Tales Book. So I will eventually get a room soon. Any chance anyone knows if I need to make a deposit or no to book a room. Some hotels do ask for a deposit and all.

[Zaiten]

No deposit at the con hotel, I booked and they are holding it with my credit card number.

Ah man, that sounds even better. Thanks for telling me this, I will go ahead and make the reservations.

Yeah, I know.. I hate when hotels need a room paid in advance. I think A-kon's hotel is doing that and that's why I'm holding off on them til much later. But glad I could help!

[spazz]

i'm pretty stoked for matsuri this year! i'll be attending as sinbad from magi, shion from psycho-pass, and formal!gilbert from pandora hearts
