The Nerd & Tie Podcast: 173. The Death of Daisho Con

So the biggest news in the Midwestern con scene this last week has been long running Wisconsin anime convention Daisho Con permanently closing its doors. As Nick was a co-founder of Daisho Con — though he left the organization years ago — we thought we would go into a deep dive behind what went wrong with the event (and what we think led to its eventual end).

Before that though, we talk about the passing of long time convention vendor Wayne McCloud and give our full review of Netflix’s adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. It’s a hell of a ride.

Listen to the Episode

I wasn't sure what to post for my 1,000th Instagram post, but I think this is appropriate.

Here's Chevalier Weiss in her mostly finished glory! I still need to make the strap and the veil, but other than that, it's finished and gorgeous (if I say so myself)! I had a lot of fun wearing this at Daisho, though it took FOREVER to make, hence why I haven't been posting.

Don't recognize this outfit? It's a unique skin from the Chinese mobile game, RWBY: Rose Snow, and that game actually doesn't exist anymore. They shut down the server back in September, so this is a Rare Semi Canon Weiss. There also isn't a back view, so I got creative. 💙

This cosplay features a lot of sheers and lace (my faves), appliqués (I'm getting more experience with those) and hotfix rhinestones (quite a learning curve), and it is definitely my most advanced outfit so far. One of my favorite things about cosplay is acquiring new skills, and there was no shortage of that with Chevalier Weiss! I even made my own bias tape!

One of my favorite things about this outfit is the incorporation of Swarovski's Edelweiss rhinestones as well as some of their snowflake rhinestones. They are extremely appropriate for a number of reasons. It also has 5 different types of lace, and y'all know I love lace.
