I'll be attending this one and I know a few others from brbu are also attending.
I'm just curious what cosplays everyone is planning on wearing! I'm taking a bus up to the twin cities so I'm quite limited in space to the amount of cosplays I can pack. Therefore it would be nice to wear something from the same series/game etc as my friends.

I'm currently thinking about bringing my BLU Sniper w/Hunstman and Danger Shield or Ada w/big ass crossbow. Then maybe Kaiba since he's easy to pack.
Kyuubey, Red, Ruby most likely
Only a few weeks till detour....5 weeks to go and still so much to do...
Not even costuming, too much work to do.  Also I get to go to a baptismal at noon on sunday.  Boourns.
I don't regret sweatshop-ing all of my winter break.

Also unsure whether or not to enter in Journeyman or Master...
I haven't exactly won 3 "best" awards at the Journeyman level yet and I would assume "best Master" at a small con like Geekkon would be considered a Journeyman level for a much larger con.
Yeha you'd be fine running as a journeyman if you'd like.  Also since it's partially my show, I say it's fine that you run as a journeyman XD

I put my app in, entering Kyubey as Masters, the only thing I wasn't sure on was a "Skit" or "Walk-On", was planning on it being a short monolog, though the 30sec hard limit for a walk on is too short...I don't imagine it would be longer than 45 sec though...
I think I'll do a "walk-on" but prepare some sort of music backing for it so it's not just me walking on stage, twirling, and walking off.
and journeyman it is!

The only con stuff I bought:

Apparently with the new Prince of Tennis anime, there are new figures and stuff. I'm planning on buying a few at acen hehe.

Detour was alright, I actually didn't get to see the con in its entirety. I didn't attend any panels or things like that.
It was nice seeing familiar faces and meeting new people though, which was basically why I decided to go to this con. The con staff was incredibly nice and helpful with the exception of Karrde. jk jk <3 you Karrde, thanks for picking up my lost dildo bullet.

As for the masquerade, my friends and I disagreed with the judging and the distribution of the specific awards. This is all personal opinions and whatnot so I won't go into it here. I actually didn't expect to win anything with the costume that I entered for fun so I am not particularly upset, but I don't think I will be returning to the Detour masquerade in the future with a more serious costume.
One thing I did like a lot of the masq. was the timely manner in which things got done and it all seemed very organized.

The con suite is a great idea. Every con should have an emergency food & drink station.

The TF2 room party was pretty rad.

Overall con experience: 7/10

Honestly I completely agree, and its two years running for me being very close. I know several staffers better than you and get a bit of candid feed back, nothing super specific but I know both years Ive come within "a few points" of taking a category.

Its something about the masquerades up there, not just at Detour, but at Convergence as well. Its rare that I'll agree with the judges at those cons, but I usually agree with decisions at the other cons I go to. I might give it one more go next year depending on what costume(s) I have ready.

Id highly recommend entering the hall contest at ACEN, I will be entering Red for the last time there into it as well as Kyubey.
