Sooo-- I'm an old school cosplayer. Back in the day I helped pioneer LGBTQIA+ panels at anime cons! The year was 2012-- and I basically said 'you have yaoi panels and yuri panels, we need LGBT panels'. I ran a Doctor Who improv group, I found myself, and I watched this con grow from Tornadocon into something wild.
I'm coming to Colossalcon next weekend! I'm likely gonna chill around the Arcade in the afternoon/evening after the wee ones are in bed and the parties are goin. Swing by and say hi. Let's have a drink and celebrate those who came before.
I cannot believe I've been going to cons for twenty years. I'm conserving all my spoons as a disabled dude-- so Grunkle Stan with his cane works best. If you see me from this post-- remember the ancient Tumblr greeting.
In which my boyfriend and I take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge while dressed as the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond. Special appearances from Gizmo, the Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, and that guy from "Love and Monsters".
