Hey Chicago folks! I'm coming to C2E2, April 25th - 27th! I'll be appearing as an invited guest, hosting panels and more importantly, helping judge this awesome costume contest! 
Hopefully lots of you Midwest cosplayers will enter! Submissions are accepted until March 10th, so what are you waiting for?

I will also have a booth in the vendor hall with merchandise and goodies, and my full schedule will be announced when I have it!
