Wrapping Up The Last Quarter Of The 2011 Convention Season

As we head to the last week of September and into October, it's been a very good three-quarters of a convention season so far. But we have one more quarter to go, and as the seasons quickly change so do the conventions.

Sac Anime Summer 2011: Robbie's Report

Of course, it's no secret that we cosplayers can be a crazy bunch, so let's begin with the recap and review.
