Eirtakon was were it all began for me when it comes to Events Coordinating for Anime conventions. This year I was just an associate and help out with the Cosplay judging. It is amazing to see something you have been involved with for seven years develop into a large scale event and ran successfully,The event was held in Croke Park.
I had a great time but unfortunately didn't get to see much as I was busy judging most of Saturday and I enjoyed Sonya's Art of a Geisha panel.
Some photos to leave you with. :)
As I have been involved with conventions for a few years, I still love event to be atmospheric with the cosplayers but attending seminars and panels are becoming one of my highlights of the convention as I feel we are really learning of each another and teaching another new things. We are sharing the things we love. I know very little about Gundam model making but I felt a bond of the community connecting and being eager to learn.
^ You see what I mean? :)
I took this photo of an image from MCM Expo in Birmingham which was in the Metro morning paper the next day. I was thinking pity it wasn't Eirtakon as MCM Comic Con was on the same weekend, awh well maybe in the future. :)
More photos and coverage can be seen on their

I have to say your cosplay is just getting better and more defined with each passing year. You really have brought a great light to it in Ireland and hope it keeps glowing brightly for you and everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo much looking forward to my firs anime convention in February in a looooong time. I can't wait to review and report it on like you did here.
