So AWA 2011 came and went. Even though I tried to make the weekend last as long as possible, by not sleeping, it still flew by at an amazing speed. Friday seemed to cruise by before I knew what happened. I was a little disappointed since I could swear I had more fun on last year's first day than this year. Saturday made up for this however, as I had an even better than in 2010. I pretty much wore my Steampunk costume the entire weekend although I switched out for Sebastian for a couple hours on Saturday. Much to my surprise Steampunk Confederate was an even bigger hit this year than Sebastian was last year. I got to meet a lot of new and interesting people and had the opportunity to talk alil fictional history with them as well, which I love to do. Entered myself in the costume contest again this year, but as a solo entry and Journeyman level. Last year's Best of Show win with as Ciel and Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji was amazing and such an inspiration to step up my costuming game. I ended up getting lucky and taking home another Best in Show award for Costume Construction, which I do have to say I did not expect since the competition this year was pretty steep. Well on to the next project....Steampunk Confederate has not seen the last of the show circuit, and Halloween is just around the corner as well as my Birthday.... definitely my favorite time of year
