When you get a whole bunch of losers trying to gripe and complain to a bunch of losers...

[cherryomg]

My rant was cut off due to how this clip was filmed, but it was most definatly not meant for people to "steal all the fame and glory" so please do not take it as such.

Also, AnimeEXPO is not just for ametures. It is for cosplayers of all levels. That is why there is a level system. There are ametures, journeymen, and masters for this reason. No skil levels will ever be pitted unfairly against each other since AnimeEXPO adhears to these guidelines.

Cosplayers who have an unfair access to professional tools, or sell cosplay for a living should NOT be allowed to enter but Anime Expo's rule dictates that if someone has EVER accepted money for a costume that they are to be disqualified.

For example, a friend of mine is a cosplayer casually, but is quite good. After a wig went unused for a year, she sold this wig on ebay. While it was a one-time transaction, by their rules it would disqualify her from the convention's masquerade.

Lets face it, nobody will ever be able to understand me, believe me, and help me due to my incident. I will never give up my quest to be part of the AX Masquerade, even if it takes me a lifetime.

I shall tell you by sending a PM to you!

im really not sure what this is about, or even why to this is going on, but what is this about? I can't really say too much, but if someone can explain, that would be nice, thx.

Actually its too late, I knew Kenji would never get away with what he did to me and to everyone out there. As a result, he ended up getting what he deserves, so thereforth justice has won for all of us.

Deal

Would you like THIS message to go to Kenji too Brian? Don't make your situation any worse then it already is

Yo! I really mean it people, isnt there anyone out there besides me and Elliot that can teach Kenji Ono a lesson out there, we both had our incidents at AX06, and we are not going to let Kenji escape the memories that happened to us. Now please, let us unite and fight for those rights!
