UPDATE (4:15pm 07/24):
We've been trying to upload today, but it keeps hanging. Not sure if it involves the AWS outage earlier this morning, but please keep checking back this weekend. We will keep trying!

📸 The photos have come in to us. 📷

Currently we are cleaning them up, straightening them, trying to give all of you AWESOME folks the best possible quality!

We do take requests for nip/tuck/change hair color/retouching for a nominal charge... j/k 🤣

So please sit back and know that they will start loading tomorrow afternoon in their own album. Once the upload is clear, we will post on our page to check them out!

And thank you everyone that came out Saturday!

Another wonderful media piece!

There's a comic book now about that bridge that keeps getting hit in Glenville. The author said he's surprised how popular his work is! ⬇️⬇️ FULL STORY IN COMMENTS.

Alright Cosplayers and the Costume adorned…

We remember our second year in 2016 which was a horrendous perpetual thunderstorm all day long. It also caused our least contested Cosplay Costume Contest in our history.

We totally get costume makers try to avoid rain because sometimes the water can ruin your precious work!

Here’s what the Great Weather Flying Spaghetti Monster has for us so far and it could be very advantageous…

It looks like the rain (if it even arrives) is mostly going to hold off and only hit from 12:00-1:30. Perfect for cosplayers to come early and stay or get there before 2:00 and get ready for line up at 2:45pm for the contest!!!

Hope to see your best outfits tomorrow!
