What's up guys!! I am a noob cosplayer from Salinas CA as well! I went to Fanime last year my first time ever and am super stoked to go again this year! We're a bunch of Hartnell guys that run track and field that go for the thrill of being a different character for an entire weekend. Would be sick to see you there! (friday all 18 of us are going as ninja/morphsuit people, so you'll know us then :P)
