It was so much fun. So much so that I will probably forget to mention some things because it was a crazy weekend. I'll give you the short story then let the photos and the videos fill in the rest.

HIGHLIGHTS: Lion cub, baby albino kangaroo, hottubing, cookouts in the suite, photoshoots galore, water slides, bonding with friends, meeting new friends, and carpool shenanigans.

Photos are mostly from Saturday but I scattered them around for aesthetics reasons.

Thursday

My group woke up nice and early and headed down to Ohio from Toronto in a convoy of 4 cars. It took some time to settle in, get groceries and figure out rooming arrangements but then it was waterpark fun for the rest of the day.

There were about 34 of us staying in 3 different rooms/suites, so there was a lot of socializing.

I did some finishing touches that night while the others in my room played card games.

I make 3 appearances: on the waterslide, behind the lion in Ms. Fortune, and serving up drinks as T-elos.

Friday

It was a crazy day starting with an early morning shoot at 9am in the waterpark with Anna Cosplay Photography, and Elysiam Guild in T-elos alongside Vickybunnyangel as Kosmos. We got some shots in the wave pool, the bar and a tiki hut.  This was followed by 4 other shoots with Elventhphotograph, Mitch Saroka (photo on the right), Solartempest, and again with Elysiam.

Somehow my costume survived being in and out of water and the hottub. Vicky and I also managed to survive the cold outdoor weather (12 to 15C brrrr).

The rest of the day was spent hanging out at the waterpark, partying in the room, and making a few touch up for my Saturday costume.

Saturday

PictureSo I heard you like Mudkips.
Another busy day. I was wearing Ms. Fortune from Skullgirls and I was fortunate enough to get photos with a lion cub and an albino baby kangaroo.  This was followed by shoots with Eleventhphotograph, Liquid-Cocaine Photos, and CK December.

The rest of the day was spent in the hottub, the waterpark, partying in the suites, attempting to visit the villas, card games, party games, and cookouts.

Funny Story: I got punched in the face by MLZ Studios. Accidentally of coarse. We were trying to link up our tubes in the wavepool and he got me right in the chin. Nothing serious, but definitely memorable.

Sunday

It was a relaxing day of lazing around at the con and saying goodbye to everyone. I got to hang out with SailorBee at the Crunchyroll booth and haul around my friend's inflatable shark.

The ride home was a blast with some serious sing-a-longs and chats.

Colossal is always too much fun.
I'll see you next year!
Check out Elysiam's video that really captures the con atmosphere: party, party, party! I make a few non-cosplay appearances, plus my Ms. Fortune.
