Right now, the only con I plan on going to this coming year is Neko(staffing, because of course).

Unless I get voluntold to come help run the Neko table at another con somewhere, at which I will look at my friend(who is also head of HR) like she just smoked the biggest crack rock ever. gonk

So, yeah. Just Neko rn -- subject to change, of course.

My 2024 cosplay and event (not just conventions) plans are:

gaia_star Hatsune Miku Expo Concert on April 4 in Vancouver
- I’m going with a friend of mine. He’s a big fan of Miku and the concert is close to his birthday, so I ended up getting both of us VIP tickets. We both never been to a concert like that before, but have always wanted to. I’m intrigued how the whole setup works since the concert is dealing with non-human singers (Miku is the main singer, but her main crew is also known to be guest singers).
- I’m currently in the progress of getting a Purple Miku (Vocaloid) cosplay made by Emilie Gauvin Creation. This version of Miku is of her version 2 main outfit, but the turquoise is replaced by purple. The wig and tattoo will be from FM-Anime. While I’m a Gakupo/Gakuko cosplayer, purple Miku has always been on my ‘future cosplays’ list. I figured cosplaying purple Miku at the concert would be cool! (I would have cosplayed Gakupo at the concert though, if he was considered to be part of Miku’s main crew. XD)

gaia_star Calgary Expo for part of a day (most likely on the Friday for POW! Parade)
- I’m cosplaying Ceremonial Robe Silver (Twisted Wonderland) with a Twisted Wonderland group.
- I’m not buying a day ticket to get into the building since I will be basically hanging out to get photos outside the venue with my group for a bit before leaving. (Comic cons aren’t really my thing, tbh.)

gaia_star Otafest 2024 on Mother’s Day weekend
- On the Sunday, I’m cosplaying Sabrina (Pokemon: SoulSilver) as a tribute cosplay to my late friend, Polar Prince Cosplays. I have all the pieces for my Sabrina cosplay. I just need to modify the footwear, get the wig styled, and make the bracelets.
- On the Sunday, I’m also co-hosting a Tribute Cosplays To Polar Prince Cosplays photo shoot meetup, where a bunch of us will be wearing cosplays that reminds us of him (including cosplays we did or had planned on doing with my late friend) and his family is more than welcome to come hangout with us!
- While I don’t know which days (Friday/Saturday) that they’ll be worn yet, I’m also cosplaying Data Riku (Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded) and Ceremonial Robe Silver (Twisted Wonderland) to this anime convention. I’m also part of the same Twisted Wonderland group as before.

I've started working a little on a new costume Wonder Woman in 1942.

I had the fabric to make the shorts and the shoes are basically Sailor Moons (which I'm planning on doing). So I thought 'why not'. It'll also be cool since now I can join the local superhero group for events.

I don't really have a superhero (minus one) that I see in myself. The one that I do see in myself is more background like Dust from X-Men.

ADDING ANOTHER CON TO THE LIST! (Tbh, I had forgotten about possibly going due to weekend passes not available yet to buy and hotel costs until my friend asked me if I was still interested on going since she now had a spot to hotel it with her. XD)

gaia_star Anime North:
- It’s one of my dream cons to attend! I don’t do back to back cons. However, since Otafest isn’t the weekend before Anime North this year, I’m able to finally go! :’D
- I’m being Riku (either KH2 or KH3) for one of the days.
- I also made a list of potential other cosplays to wear, but I won’t know for sure which 2 other cosplays until the schedule of fandom photo shoot meetups is up.
