Pre registration is still open so take a look. This event is also big on Cosplay, so if you go, go in costume. Remember I would love to hear your reviews and see your pics, you can send them to Magid@raybin.com
You know back in the 80′s I was big into costuming. Although back then it was not called Cosplay. Ill have to dig up a photo of me in a Captain America costume that I made. It was so much fun.
Well folks, I’m off to find the Dragonballs and when Shinron appears I am going to wish for a time travelling Delorean…Wish me luck…
