Thursday night, it took me forever to get my con bag packed and ready to go. I was going to ride metro for the first time ever in cosplay and it just so happened to be Sailor Moon.
On Friday, I arrived their pretty early and to my surprise it was in a really nice hotel. The con is held at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, literally down the street from the National Zoo. It was fairly close to metro (which was a plus) and once again the hotel was fantastic.
I picked up my badge (like at any other con) which looked like this:
After picking up my badge I walked around a bit (after adjusting my cosplay) trying to see if I could find anyone I knew. Because it was still early nothing was open yet, not even the dealer hall. I didn't want to go outside as it was pretty chilly (and a short skirt + chill = no bueno) so I stopped by a little cafe they had and got some pineapples and juice and plopped back down on a couch and took a selfie.
By this time people were beginning to pour into the convention. I decided to wander around a bit more and that's when I wandered into this wonderful person!
Meet Tara! She completely made her costume and did the make-up and everything and boy did she look cool. She was basically wandering the con alone while her friends were still sleeping so we decided to adventure together.
And here's my Sailor Moon!
