Also, I should mention Anime Boston + the pillow fight at Copley made for some awesome photo ops: http://flickr.com/photos/varmazis/2353372238/

^ I am the photographer for that photo. Indeed, the Cactuar was very popular since so many of us have failed to ever capture him! My favorite cosplay of the day was this Locke from FF6 -- even if you have no idea what or who that is, just trust me, this is awesome: http://flickr.com/photos/varmazis/2352519045/in/pool-animeboston2008/

I really wish we'd gotten a chance to corner this guy: http://flickr.com/photos/varmazis/2352519469/in/pool-animeboston2008/ I never did manage to kill him in Final Fantasy VI.

Those pics are nothing. I was in the food court of the Pru on Saturday and saw some of the greatest homemade costumes ever rendered. But no laughing. It was a "safe zone." I applaud those kids.
