It's been four years...

...since I begun to write this blog.

Honestly, I don't even know what to say.
Those years have been a journey full of joy, tears, frustration and laughter. There have been ups and downs, failures after failures before finally succeeding.
That journey wouldn't have been half as funny without friends... And you, my dear readers.

Thank you - that's all I can say (since I'm pretty speechless at the moment). <3

Today I decided to write something different.
Usually you see me in the pictures, posing and all. But sometimes, just sometimes, I'm also behind the camera.
I haven't done many photoshoots during these years. Yes, a couple of years ago I used to take just some pics with Xaoryuu but because of the lack of time we didn't get many chances to take more photoshoots at that point. We still don't have the damn time. :D 

I've mostly photographed nature, especially during the autumn when the colors were very bright and vivid.
I also bought a new camera a couple of months ago to get pictures with better quality. Honestly, my old camera is good in some situations but not in photoshoots...

But here they are, some pictures~!
(Note; if there's a person in the photo, I have asked their permission to upload it here.)


Nature & animals

I took this picture through the window. Believe me, it was quite hard to attract Mörri's attention (yep, that's the name of our cat).

My friend's pony! <3 I take care of him every now and then. :) 

And here are the ladies of my friend's pony! x) In this pic the fog is quite visible and it was quite hard to get my camera to co-operate with me... x__x 

Cats at the stable (and the leg photobomb is provided by my friend Janina)! <3

This picture was actually taken today. The sky was beautifully pastel-colored and the fog made the nearby fields look mystical... And yes, I live in the countryside.

(Note: the last two pics were taken with DAI's camera since I didn't have my good camera back then.)

I don't edit the pictures I've taken, by the way. It's only because Gimp and Photoshop allied against me and don't work on my computer at the moment.

Of course there were more pics taken in the photoshoots but I'm not sure if I should tell more about those photoshoots in separate posts... Tell me your opinion about this!
Anyway, thank you everybody for reading this, reading my blog and supporting me! <3 By the way, if you want me to take pics of you (for example cosplay photoshoots) just tell me - you get the photographer and I get some practice! c: You can leave a comment in the comment box, send me an e-mail or contact me somewhere else on social media.

You can also read my very first blog post on this blog right here. It's in Finnish but it contains some basic information of me, myself and I. Yep, I think that for example my writing style is nowadays quite different. And yes, I still write song lyrics every now and then but I haven't sold them to anybody in a long time.

See you next time~!

Cosplay year 2016 - the year of major f*ck ups

The title tells it all. This is the summary of the cosplay year 2016.

This was the year when I got absolutely nothing done. Yes, I ordered a shitload of new wigs and lenses + bought new fabrics, even started to make new costumes, but this year turned out to be more hectic and stressful than I could have imagined and cosplaying wasn't my priority number one.

(Btw, picture credits can be found on con summaries.)

But let's see what I actually did in 2016!

Yukicon 3.0 was held in Helsinki in February. I almost decided not to attend it since my physical health wasn't very great at the time but since I had been selected to host a lecture there I had to attend it... And I don't regret it.
Hosting a lecture for the first time was, of course, quite stressful and made me nervous but somehow I managed to stand in front of the audience for half an hour. And that's going to happen in Yukicon 4.0 too - I will be hosting a lecture about StarStable Online with my friend Merezone (who kindly recorded my lecture in this year's Yukicon)!

(The lecture is only in Finnish but basically I just spoke about the psychological and philosophical issues in the game series called Starshine Legacy.)

My costumes in Yukicon were these two:

Josh from Starshine Legacy in Saturday.

Gijinka!Darkrai from Pokémon in Sunday.

 I didn't make almost any effort for these costumes - like I said, my physical condition was shit and on top of that I was working as a helper teacher at the time I still think that all the symptoms I had were caused by stress so I didn't have that much free time either.
Anyway, I enjoyed this year's Yukicon a bit more than last year's, probably because it was held in a different building. When the con took place in Espoo the building there felt always very crowded and small. In Helsinki that problem didn't exist. Despite my constantly nauseous and tired feeling I enjoyed my first con of the year!

I was supposed to compete in Tampere Kuplii 2016 and that would have been my main reason to go there. Sadly I didn't manage to make my costume ready Chikane Himemiya, you're still my greatest enemy and it meant no competing for me. Anyway, I had already told my friends that I would attend it, at least for one day, so I couldn't skip it.
And yes, I attended it only for a one day and that was quite good decision - I didn't feel good at the con. I still don't know why, I just felt restless and tired at the same time for the whole Saturday. I'm not saying that the con itself would've been shitty or anything, I just wasn't feeling up to hanging out etc.

This year Tampere Kuplii was held in Tampere-talo (in the previous years it was held in the Finlayson area) and the change was... At least interesting. Well, I'm positive that things will be easier to organize there from now on.

My "cosplay" in Kuplii was casual!young!Severus Snape. I just didn't want to put on any "real" cosplay. You get what I mean.

I don't have anything else to say about Kuplii. Quite nice con, like it has always been. Hopefully next year I will get to compete there again.

Cosvision. Oh, Cosvision...
I don't think that I'm the only one thinking that the con itself wasn't very good. The location was good but Verkatehdas is simply just too small place to hold a convention if you actually want the convention to be big, For a smaller con the building would have been just fine, but... Ghh. Let's just say that I attended this con just to meet people whom I usually see, like, once in two years. I enjoyed their company but, sadly, I didn't enjoy the con almost at all.

I like the surrounding areas of Verkatehdas though; there were parks etc. in which it was easy to have photoshoots!

My cosplays for the Cosvision weekend were these:

2p!France from Hetalia: Axis Powers.

Ayame Sohma from Fruits Basket.

I didn't make anything myself for my 2p!France cosplay, I just bought everything for it(and actually the jeans belong to my Josh cosplay). I didn't even order a wig since my own hair was quite good for this cosplay at the time.
And Ayame... Well, it's one of my "if I don't have anything else, I'll take this with me" costumes. Nothing else to say about.

So, Cosvision was one of those "hang out with friends" cons to me. Except that this one was more expensive than the other "hanging out" cons I attended this year...

Tracon was held in Tampere-talo in September. It has always been one of those "I have to attend it!!" conventions since I begun cosplaying in Tracon 2012 nostalgia is strong with this one. I actually managed to make a costume for Tracon - sadly I'm not very pleased with it. You see, in the fabric shop I had to choose the fabric by color and not the material...
And I fucked it up at that point.

I also hosted a lecture in Tracon about Hetalia. I never found any kind of video material about it - it would've been nice to see it afterwards and look for things to improve but no can do. Maybe I'll learn with time.
This year, however, I didn't enjoy Tracon that much. I don't even know why; the con was well organized etc., but for some reason something felt very off.

Anyway, the cosplays...

North Italy from Hetalia: Axis Powers.

Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way from a fanfic My Immortal, written by Tara Gillesbie.

I made Italy specifically for Tracon and, well... It could've been worse but it could've been better. I'm likely to improve the costume, make-up etc. in the future when I find time and energy for it. Right now I don't feel up to it.

I bought a new wig for Ebony (I will link the store later if I find their website again) and improved her make-up. I also decided to wear different shoes this time. I think that I managed to improve her pretty well... Even though this was one of the most uncomfortable costumes I wore this year.

I also attended Kitacon this year; I happened to be in Northern Finland when the con was held. The con itself was one of those small cons where you just hang out with your friends. Sadly I just wasn't in the mood of attending the con and my own mood (a bit tired and a bit anxious) took revenge on me in the shape of anxiety attacks and feeling sick. I just don't like small places with a lot of people... Perhaps I'll get used to it at some point.

I still liked the con itself - if I happen to be in the north the next time the con is held, I will attend it. I can't let one bad experience ruin it for me.

I cosplayed - once again - Ayame Sohma.

Skecon - perhaps my favourite con this year!

At first I wasn't even supposed to attend it but, in the end, I decided to go there - and I haven't regretted my decision at all. The campus area was simply a great place for a convention, people were kind and the most important thing: I had fun.

This was also the first con in which I slept in a dorm can't find a better word for it and not in anyone's apartment/in a hotel room. At first I was a bit afraid to try it because my back and my left leg ache chronically but I found out quite soon that sleeping on a floor doesn't damage them any further.

The cosplays for the Skecon weekend:

Japan from Hetalia: Axis Powers.

...well, you know this snek quite well already.

I also competed with my Ayame costume; I didn't place (to be honest, I didn't even think that I would place) but I had fun - it was quite nice to compete after such a long time! I had actually forgotten how much I love to be on a stage. <3


But yeah, there it is - my cosplay year 2016. Hopefully 2017 will be at least a bit better - I already have some plans for it. I will also finish some other costumes when I have time and when I feel up to it. Hopefully I'll also get more pics of my costumes because I've been a bit lazy with photoshoots once again, oops...

But yeah, see you next time!

Circle lens review: Super Pinky Green

Hello!

Since the gods of weather were finally on my side, I decided to make a new (non-sponsored) circle lens review. This time I'll review Super Pinky Green, my first green circle lenses. Let's go!

The vials of the lenses.

The lenses in their vials.

Base curve: 8.6 mm

Diameter: 14.8 mm

Water content: 45 %

Life span: 1 year

Quite basic lenses according to the measures, just a bit larger than Sweet Bliss Brown lenses I reviewed in July (the water content is a bit bigger also). 

Let's say that these lenses were ordered for my Tetsuhiro Morinaga cosplay (which I definitely will make in the future) but I just couldn't resist checking out if these lenses will really be good for that one. 

By the way, a tip; don't insert the lenses into your eyes straight after opening the vials, especially if you have sensitive eyes - the solution in the vials makes at least my eyes water and hurt. I don't know if everybody reacts to the original solution like that but I don't recommend testing it either. Let them soak in a new solution at least for a few hours.

One lens in, notice the enlargement. I had to take this picture with a flash though, thanks camera for not co-operating...

Like I had thought, these lenses have pretty much the same enlargement than Sweet Bliss Brown lenses. Inserting them wasn't a lot different either; I could really feel these in my eyes, especially in my left eye, straight after inserting them. Luckily the scratchy feeling disappeared quite soon, in fifteen minutes or so (and yes, I checked if there was anything wrong with the lens itself but there were no flaws or any dirt in it).
The first couple of hours went quite smoothly but during the third hour I had these in my eyes they begun to blur my vision and I couldn't see clearly. Later, after almost four hours they begun to feel dry. This might have something to do with the fact that my eyes are still under the "as dry as Sahara" effect...
After 4,5 - 5 hours I decided to take these off since the blur and the scratchy feeling (caused by the dryness) begun to irritate me to no end.

The color of these lenses is something in between forest green and olive green - can't actually describe it better. There's also the semi-thick dark grey limbal ring but in my eyes it seems to disappear somewhere making these look a bit more unnatural than they already are (because of the enlargement). The design itself, however, is quite basic and relatively natural.

But yes, some lens photos!
Note; I have blue/grey/green eyes myself - in other words, light-colored eyes. My natural eye color blended to the lens color almost perfectly, that's something I actually liked!

The last three photos © Gure (thank you very much), otherwise the photographer: yours truly. Pictures aren't edited. They were taken on quite cloudy day in December.

Yellow light without a flash.

Indoors, natural light (facing the window).

Indoors, bathroom light (for some reason the bathroom light was almost red, wtf).

Indoors, with a flash.

Outdoors, facing the (almost non-existent) sun.

Distance photo.

• I rate the color 7/10 - who wouldn't enjoy this rather vivid green? But, when thinking about Morinaga, these lenses might be just a bit too light. I could still use these for that cosplay but I'm also keeping my eyes open if some other options appear.

• The design is 8,5/10 - they're quite natural, the color blends nicely with the light eye color at least. The limbal ring could be darker though, the dark grey ring seems to disappear somewhere in my opinion. 

• The comfort... 6,5/10. I could feel these when inserting them into my eyes and after a few hours they begun to feel pretty dry. They also blurred my vision quite a bit. I've had lenses with worse comfort too but wearing these wasn't very enjoyable either. But, like I said before, my eyes were dry before inserting the lenses so the lack of comfort might be because of it. 

• I think that the naturalness is 8/10, quite average. The enlarging effect makes them look a bit unnatural but the color and the design save quite much. Personally I think that in a crowded place (in a city for example) people would notice these but not think about it too much. 

• The enlargement is 9/10 - I mean, look at the third pic. :DD

Skecon 2016 summary - the best con this year! (And wtf are you doing car!?)

Yep, like I told earlier I attended Skecon this year - and I must say that it was the best con this year! Read more and you will know why...

I stayed the night before the con at Shiro Samurai's apartment with him and Sacchan. During that night we became cocoon worms toukat <3 and I think that I'm officially a rye bread now... #insidejokes :DD We spent the night just speaking some shit - and, as anybody could guess, didn't sleep almost at all. I actually think that Sacchan didn't sleep at all and Shiro Samurai and I slept for something like 30 minutes or so.
I can tell you, my body revenged it in the Friday morning damn you morning hangover. Somehow we all managed to get up, shower and take all the stuff to Sacchan's Renault.

After an hour or so Marcus (who was the 4th member of our squad this time and who had completely forgotten that we were leaving in the Friday morning) was also ready to leave and we begun to drive to Skellefteå.
I managed to sleep most of the time but at some point I really woke up when I heard someone shouting. Turned out that it was Sacchan and when I looked out of the window I could completely understand why - the weather was awful, it was snowing heavily and no one was able to see properly... I feel you, Sacchan.
We had also been clever enough to leave all the winter clothing at home (when I say home I actually mean Southern Finland so yeah, talk about 500+ kilometers...). Didn't feel like the winner when I saw the weather.

Anyway, after a few hours of driving we arrived to Skellefteå. It was quite funny to try to find the campus area where the con took place this year.

"Just tell me when you see a campus sign!"
"...we just drove past it..."
"FUCK."
:DD

In the end we found our way to the parking lot. I decided to stay outside since the others were working as volunteers at the con and I... Well, would have done the same had I not been so unsure if I was even going there or not. In the end I didn't apply to be a volunteer and because I wasn't working at the con I wasn't quite allowed to stay inside when they did some last minute organizing etc.

(All pictures © Shiro Samurai.)

After an hour of waiting or so I went to stand in the line and got my ticket, yay! <3
When the others were working I spent my time sitting on the nearby sofa and just watching people walk by.

At six o'clock in the evening (Swedish time, mind you) we formed our squad again and went to eat at Max. We decided to take a walk there and fuck, it was cold! Sacchan and I also wondered if we should go to walk in the river but for some reason we never did that probably because it was so freezing that I actually begun to sing Let It Go.
After eating Shiro Samurai - who was very kind when he let me borrow all the stuff needed for this costume - helped me to put on the casual!Japan cosplay from Hetalia. I had worn kimono never before and you should have seen me... "HOW DO I EVEN!?" :DD Also the make-up gods weren't on my side which is, unfortunately, very noticeable.

I also wanted some proof pictures that I actually had a cosplay on and Shiro Samurai kindly took the pics.
Note; I know that for example my Italy lenses would have been okay for this cosplay but I didn't take them with me when I left south to north. I had also ordered lenses for Japan but well, I was too late - they didn't arrive in time.

But now, those pics~

Character: Japan
Series: Hetalia: Axis Powers
Photographer & photo edit: Shiro Samurai 

(I also know that my labret is a quite a bit inappropriate but I had no choice but to wear it. At least I managed to cover my tattoos with the sleeves...)

I was able to wear the wig for only 1,5 hours or something like that and during that whole time I felt intense headache approaching me (actually I think that it was because of the wig cap but well, I have quite long hair nowadays so I can't wear short wigs without it).
So for the rest of the evening I just sat there with Shiro Samurai and Sacchan (who actually had a shift next to the entrance door - they checked that people who entered had wristbands - but nah) just speaking random shit and making very bad puns. I think that at this point Marcus already had his kazoo and sometimes he entertained us with playing some melodies with it. And the infamous moose mating call. xD

At 1 o'clock in the morning Shiro Samurai and Sacchan's shift ended. Each one of us was quite tired at that point and we decided to go to the dorms.
Which wasn't as easy as we imagined it would be - there was no map. For quite a long while we were just driving around the campus are and playing a game "Follow Marcus" - yep, Marcus was running around the only E-shaped building in the are (we were told that the dorms were in an E-shaped building) and checking if any door was open.
In the end they told us that the dorms weren't at the campus area at all...

My exact face at that point. I'm one of those people who get irritated when tired... :D (Meme found on Google.)

Some guy showed us the way to the dorms in the end - thank you! (:
We also had to walk around the whole dorm building (some school, I don't remember its name) to get to the door of the dorms. It wasn't that easy since there was snow everywhere and we had quite much stuff to carry with us... x__x
I had been wondering for the whole day about me sleeping in another classroom than the others; you see, Sacchan, Shiro Samurai and Marcus (who didn't come to the dorms with us since he had a shift at the convention place) were volunteers while I was just some random attending the con. The volunteers had a classroom for them and the random people had four other classrooms. After all there was no need to worry; the volunteered workers at the dorms let me sleep in the same classroom than my friends! <3
I must say that we fell asleep fairly fast, probably because we hadn't slept during the night before the con. In the middle of the night I woke up though, I was literally shaking because it was so damn cold. Yes, I haven't gotten used to the "sleep in the dorms, on the floor" thing yet. It wasn't actually that bad, excluding the fact that the floor was quite cold.


Saturday

We woke up when we heard the alarm clock decided to tell us that it was alive - yet we didn't manage to actually wake up, we just opened our eyes for a couple of seconds and fell asleep again. In the end we had to wake up when one of the volunteers came to the room clapping her hands and telling us that we had something like half an hour to dress up, take everything we would need during the day with us and leave the dorms since they were closed during the day. We were also informed that our stuff would be moved to another classroom for the next night.
So there was no other chance than to wake up and get ready. Somehow we (us three and Vicktor who had appeared to the classroom during the night) managed to go to the car with our eyes still half-closed. Perhaps that's why it took us quite a long time to find the route to the campus... xD

This and the two pictures above are from the entrance hall.

Signs showing where the activities/rooms/etc. are. Guess if I understood something... :D

The room where people sang "karaoke" - except that there was no actual karaoke, just music playing in the bacground and people singing along.

I had decided to cosplay Ayame Sohma on Saturday and I had also sent an application to the cosplay competition. I hadn't received an answer - or that's what I thought - and a couple of hours I just ran around the place trying to find someone who would know if my application had been accepted or not. Finally I found a guy who told me that they had sent me an answer (yup, my network had just been shitting on me, damn roaming prices etc.) which was yes. He also told me about the timetable - luckily I still had time to put on my cosplay.
First I only did the make-up since I wanted to go and see the martial arts display; it was actually the first reason that got me interested in going to Skecon. I only had time to watch the kendo part though since I had to go put on my cosplay (with the help of Sacchan since Ayame isn't that easy to put on). Anyway, the part I saw of the display was very interesting!

But, like I said, I just put on my cosplay and walked back to Campushallen where the stage was - I was supposed to be at the backstage an hour before the actual competition. During that time I checked the stage lights etc.; I decided to go with green and white lights this time since red one would have been hideous and my cosplay would have disappeared in blue light.

Perhaps the biggest difference compared to Finnish competitions was that we didn't get those number badges which tell us when it's time to go to the stage.
Anyway there was clear host so even I knew when it was my time to go to the stage - and I don't speak Swedish almost at all.
I didn't place in the competition but, to be honest, I wasn't waiting for that to happen. I just wanted to experience a competition outside of Finland - and let's be honest, it's been a long time since I had enjoyed competing so much!

Sacchan had been watching the competition and told me that it went well anyways; I was so happy to hear that since I was still quite nervous. I hadn't competed in over a year and I was a bit nervous but luckily it didn't show on the stage.
Soon Sacchan, Shiro Samurai, Marcus, Vicktor and I decided to go to eat something... At Max, of course (I'm really addicted to those burgers now, damn it). :DD

When we came back to the campus area Shiro Samurai decided to put on his cosplay so I decided to hang out with Sacchan and Marcus. We were just singing some random songs and listened to Marcus playing the kazoo. xD
At some point (when Shiro Samurai had already put on his cosplay and the squad was whole again) I begun to feel extremely anxious and I decided to take my medicine. The medicine I have isn't for the psyche though; it decreases the physical symptoms of a panic attack, for example the high pulse and shaking.

We were just casually hanging out in the gaming room... And there Shiro Samurai took a "I actually had a cosplay on" proof pic of me.

Ft. the obligatory Mountain Dew. 

At ten o'clock in the evening Sacchan and Shiro Samurai's shift begun. I had taken my costume off before that since I needed help with it again. Taking it off was also very good decision; my medicine decided to kick me in the head again and I begun to feel extremely nauseous - it's according to the blood pressure. For an hour or so the feeling I had was hideous but luckily it passed after that. It might have also had something to do with the stress.
For three hours we sat at the entrance again, I watched them play MonHun and talked with Marcus too. At some point Mikael came to us with two other cosplayers - they were very funny, that amount of laughing! :D

When their shift ended we went back to the gaming room. I didn't want to play anything - I'm a gamer too but I've always been more of a PC gamer than a console gamer. Nope, I still don't belong to the "PC master race". That's why I decided just to watch them play.

The stairs leading to the gaming room,

The gaming room itself.

Yup, we are true artists... xD 

I don't even remember how long they did play but if I remember correctly the time was something like half past three in the morning. At that point I just decided to brush my teeth and collect my stuff from the coat rack since sleeping begun to sound like a good idea.

Our stuff had been moved to a classroom where there were other people sleeping too. We had to be careful to not to make too much rustling - we didn't want to wake anyone up. Falling asleep was quite difficult but somehow I managed to do that. I woke up in the middle of the night again; yes, it was still cold.


Sunday

We woke up, changed into casual gear, collected our stuff and went to the car. We got all the stuff in the car and were ready to drive to the campus area...
But the car disagreed with us. It didn't start at all.

Luckily there was a man with a child who promised to take us to the campus are so Sacchan and Shiro Samurai wouldn't be late (they had a shift in the morning).
At the convention place they told some other volunteers about our car problems. Instantly people begun to look for cables etc. - it was a battery malfunction so everybody thought that it would just have to be charged.
Had that been the case everything would have been quite much easier. Especially for Sacchan...

We decided that I would stay with Shiro Samurai at the entrance and Sacchan would go with the others to the car. It took some time but when they came back we got some bad news; the car would start if the cables were attached to it but otherwise there was no hope with it. The only way was to buy a new battery.
And that's what they did.

Well, at some point we were able to leave Skellefteå and get some gasoline from a nearby gas station. We continued our trip towards the north when suddenly the car informed us again about a battery malfunction.
And we were driving along E4 - one just can't stop dead in the tracks there. The only option was to stop in a place where people would actually see us and not crash into us and put on the hazard flasher. Sacchan was in total panic, Shiro Samurai looked like he could also start panicking and Marcus and I were just sitting there like "...shit".

Quite soon Marcus asked me should he call for help and I told him to do so. It turned out that people to whom he spoke couldn't help us so our only option was to wait and inform Sacchan's parents about what had happened.
After 45 minutes or so a car stopped and a middle-aged couple came to help us. With their help we got into Byske... And that's where we stayed for the next few, long hours. In the beginning we were sitting in the car but it got very cold very fast and I decided to go to check how long the shop next to us would be open. Turned out that if we only got permission we could wait there and not freeze in the car.
Marcus spoke to the workers and they gave us permission to stay there and wait for Sacchan's parents to arrive. Another option was the local mechanic whom Marcus had contacted but the guy wasn't in the town at that moment.

Every now and then I went to check if the car was unharmed - luckily it was. I also needed the fresh air through the filter...
After a few hours Sacchan's mother appeared to the shop and let's just say that I was quite happy to see her. I gave the driving instructions to Sacchan's father towards the car (they didn't know where it was) and once we got to it Sacchan's father decided to give the problem a closer look.
And suddenly he managed to start the car.
You should have seen my and Sacchan's faces at that point... But when we begun to drive (Shiro Samurai, Marcus and Sacchan's parents were in another car and drove in front of us) the battery malfunction light was there again. In a crossroad the car decided to die.

At that point I explained everything that had happened with the car during that day to Sacchan's father. He decided to change the whole battery - it was quite obvious at that point that the battery charger was broken.
With the new battery we were finally able to continue driving to the north. At first the driving conditions were absolutely hideous and Sacchan and I decided to take different tasks; I kept my eye on the road and told her where she should drive and she concentrated on following her parents' car and driving.
96 kilometers before our destination the car informed us - once again - about a battery malfunction but we decided to keep on driving. Now the luck was on our side and we got to our destination (where the car instantly died)! I was freezing at that point, I couldn't feel my feet anymore and I think that I looked like a cartoon character with my teeth clacking together etc. xD Anyway the trip went well and I and Sacchan had fun together - oh the jokes xD

This was my first Skecon but by no means the last one - I really enjoyed this con experience and I will definitely attend it in the future (perhaps as a volunteer too). I had fun and basically everything went smoothly at the con. So yeah, I definitely do not regret attending Skecon! :)
