Anime North.. Bring it on!

This year I will be SO busy all weekend! Between the various cosplay, meeting new friends, going to performances, workshops and panels, hunting down my coworkers, photoshoots and taking a million pictures & selfies.. I don't know how much sleep I will get, but you can sleep when you're dead right? Here is my FINAL line-up what I've been planning.. Unfortunately some characters had to be taken out and shuffled around:
FRIDAY MAY 25TH 2018:
On Friday evening #KingstonStorm (from PROheros Cosplay Entertainment) will be there looking for other fellow X-men (I told her to leave her cape at home though because we have been warned of a heat wave)

SATURDAY (Morning/Afternoon) MAY 26TH 2018: 
Toronto_Dadpool, Spider_Seebs and I will be commanding a legion of almost 10+ inflatable dinosaurs! This should be incredibly entertaining - and alot of batteries needed!

SATURDAY (Afternoon/Evening) MAY 26TH 2018:
Next I have invited my great friend Kingston Spiderwoman (again courtesy of PROheros Cosplay Entertainment) to accompany me Saturday night. She is very excited to meet the other Spiderverse characters and make some new Toronto friends!

SUNDAY MAY 27TH 2018:
Finally this is the cosplay I am most excited for (save the Dinosaur stampede) I will be a yuru-kyara called Shinjokun! (Yuru-kyara (or yuru-chara) is a a category of Japanese mascot characters usually created to promote a place or region, event, organisation or business.) Did you know every City in Japan has a mascot? I LOVE THEM! 

I have chosen Shinjo-kun (which represents Suzaki City.) She's ADORABLE and I also LOVE river otters - if you didn't know. She wears a Nabemono hot-pot (with an egg, green onion, 2 pieces of kamaboko-fish cake and a mess of noodles) as a hat, which other mascots usually steal or borrow from her. You can learn more about Shinjo here and here is her Facebook Page.

One of my amazing coworkers is going to be Funassyi. Although not yet official, he represents Funabashi City. She has kept the final product a secret from me, so I am excited to see her on Sunday!

I will keep everyone updated via my Facebook & Instagram stories, until I can get home Monday to upload pictures. Let me know in the comments if anyone else is coming this year, what cosplay they will have, and if they want to meet!
