If you are hardcore and can wait the line for Masquerade. I'll be part of it this year so it'll be a pretty awesome time. I highly suggest it anyways though because the SDCC skits and walk ons are QUALITY and FUN.

Issue Resolved.

--------------------

DA has refused to fully take down everything that was stolen of mines by

I didn't want to make a post on DA about this but I suppose I have to now because DA has not done anything in 24 hours except take one photo down. We all have better things to do and a life. I don't accept fakers and frauds especially if it wastes my friends time who are trying to help me report along side me already.

I don't know if you seek attention or just seek the pleasure of trolling, her friend has reported that I stole her "friend's" photo and that is when it started. I at least don't want to call her out because she may be just a victim of being lied to. Do you seek pleasure in using other people to receive things that don't belong to you?

My activity may have been low through the years but it has been active and the photos that this person uploaded is still on my DA. So I do not see the issue of it being proof.

My actual photos on DA / ACP etc : [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

Costume list posted! [link] Total Approx. 15 costumes.

!!Everyone at going to Fanime 2012 might want to take note when you are buying or selling things that you better bring your own reusable bag. (Copy and Pasted from Fanime website.)

The Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance is currently effective since January 1 of this year. For sellers the new law states: "You are unable to provide free single-use carryout plastic bags to customers at check out. You may sell reusable bags or 40 percent post-consumer recycled content paper bags.
