Cosplay Day on Sunday!

This is a gentle reminder that Cosplay Day is this Sunday at Kinokuniya Bookstore (1073 Ave of the Americas) in NYC. Kinokuniya opens at 10 AM, and cosplayers will get 10% off all anime and manga all day. There's also an all-day raffle for goodies from Del Rey, VIZ Pictures, and NYAF. And we've also got special guests. Sonnya Paz and Renee Gloger -- Team USA from this year's World Cosplay Summit -- will be stopping by to talk about the Olympics of Cosplay. Sonnya and Renee will be participating in these events...

3:00-4:00 PM - World Cosplay Summit Memories. Sonnya and Renee will spend an hour speaking about what it was like being crowned Team USA, what it was like winning a trip to Japan, and how they felt going up against cosplayers on the international stage!

4:00-4:30 PM - Cosplay Q&A. Got a question about cosplay? Curious about beadwork? Don't know the best fabrics, metals, and woods to work with? Sonnya and Renee will answer all your questions -- beginner to advanced -- so that one day you, too, will be good enough to compete in the Olympics of Cosplay.

4:30-5:00 PM - Samurai Beat Radio. Samurai Beat Radio, broadcast in 26 cities in Japan, comes to Kinokuniya to record a special, live show. Samurai Beat Radio will interview Sonnya and Renee as well as cosplaying attendees to find out the who, what, where, when, and why Americans cosplay. This is a chance to get your voice heard throughout Japan!

I'll see you at Kinokuniya!
