January 02, 2010 - And then this one time I went to Chile…

As some of you know, a couple weeks ago I was in Chile for a week to be a guest at a convention in Santiago. The fans and cosplayers were awesome and I wish we were given more time to hang out with everyone. And I don’t know how you guys survive in costume with no air conditioning. I was sweating to death! You are all much stronger than me.

I was getting over being sick that week, and I did end up having my trip spoiled a bit because I had something stolen from me the first day of the convention. I wish I could have been in better spirits/health.

Here are a few photos I stole from Ariel who is one of the photographers in Chile. I didn’t get an photos on my camera from the convention. And that is my buddy Jia who was a guest with me. She is also more of a trooper than I am. She does not seem to be affected by insane heat and humidity while wearing costumes and wigs.

On our way back to the US, we had a 10 hour stop in Panama, so we took a tour and got to see the Panama Canal. That was pretty cool.  What was not cool was getting home at 5:30am and having to be back at the airport at 8:30am to leave for Hawaii. (Not that going to Hawaii is a bad thing!) My next post will be my vacation report from Hawaii.

And I will have a costume update soon because I made Nuku Nuku’s bathing suit so Kyle could shoot it on the beach in Chile. So as soon as I have those I’ll post them!
