Hi, This is my first Year at AnimeWest. Are there any Last Exile/Steampunk cosplayers attending? I'd very much like to meet up for conversation and perhaps photos. Please post if you're available or friend me. I'm a grown-up character, and I'm working on a bustle-skirt-with-top-hat outfit for the Ballroom Dance.

Yes! Thanks so much for letting me know. My guy was worried about having to break out the tux--a possible deal-breaker. He's not a cosplayer, but has plenty of career duds we can tart up. Plans right now are that I'll be cosplaying steampunk for the ball, and my outfit's easy--change jewelry and gloves and change the hat for a fascinator and voila! We'll be at the ballroom dance lessons for sure. We didn't spring for a platinum badge, so how early do we need to be in line to get into the dance? We go to large cons and have been event-skunked before. This my first year at AnimeWest, and we're both counting the days. I'd appreciate Any tips you have for making the most of this Con. All the best, Em
