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!
Tomorrow....my body is ready
Annnnd I'm off! Megabus was an hour late though

You are half way to Winnipeg......
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.
