Quick question for the swap meet: I noticed that it said second hand cosplay items were acceptable (got some of that I'll probably be selling in addition to all the manga I have), but what about raw fabric for others to create cosplay costumes?  I have TONS of interesting fabric I've picked up for costumes I never made, and was wondering if that would be ok.  

I was a little dissapointed by the quality of performances this year, since while there were several good performances, there wasn't anything that really stood out in my mind.  But maybe that was because those seats in the civic center were really uncomfortable and made me rather cranky for sitting in them for so long.  XD  

I was really happy with the judging this year.  I liked seeing a wide-array of awards for both performance and craftsmanship, since I think that it's important to have a balance of both in the masquerade.  

A suggestion for next year: 2 minute time limit.  I felt like a lot of the skits dragged on for way longer then necessary.  If you can't get your point across in 2 minutes, then there's something wrong- since any longer and you'll lose the audience's attention.

One idea is to do an informal masquerade where anyone can get up and show off their costume or perform just for fun, not competition, similar to how AX has the Chibi Masquerade.  

I like the cosplay chess idea, though I think it should be opened up to any characters.

I'd live to see the TeniMyu skit again (I wished I could have watched it from the audience)

Other skits I'd love to see again: Rose of Versaille group, that one FF group with the moogle, One piece group, Pikabethan, Ragnarok and then of course mine, the Yuna skit.  XD
