@brm- Nice! The vendors are my favorite part too, Artist Alley is like home to me, it's just amazing seeing how people interpret the same characters in different styles, and how creative people are with their backsplashes and how they make their merch. Do you end up asking people a lot of questions, or do you prefer just looking around?

I really love the cosplays too, I used to do some simple ones and it really made me appreciate how much work can go into even just a custom tshirt or a wig! Do you cosplay much yourself? What's the best tip you learned from someone?
