F.A.C.T.S 2010

This weekend I attended the F.A.C.T.S 2010 convention in Gent, Belgium.
This was my first time to such a large convention. I've been to Tsunacon before, but never to something as big as this. It was also the first time I did cosplay. Well not the first time, but it has been quiet some time since I've done it.

Without a real idea to follow, I kinda hooked in on the idea that some of my friends were doing, pokémon. Pictures can be found on my facebook profile, but for those that don't have access to it, it's the picture on top of the article. I'm on the left side.

It's been a long time since I got really involved with the pokémon branch, so for those who don't know it, it's a SandShrew pokémon. The costume is self-made and took several weeks to make. Just took an old plain T-shirt to get the form right. Then cut out yellow fabric and drew all the lines on it. The ears weren't perfect, and i'll probably spent some time on perfecting the costume; even add a tail; but the goal was achieved. Alot of people recognized us and we got alot of pictures.

F.A.C.T.S itself was awesome. The Cosplay event was fun to watch and some of the acts were pretty hilarious. There were some costumes that looked as if they were taken directly from the movies. Kudos to those people to get such things together. The shopping stands were loaded with merchandise, and my friends succeeded in loading the car till the roof with it...

There's load of movies on youtube about the convention and pictures as well if you google for it, so I'm not bothering to post links to it. All I can say, is that I'll definitly go again next year.
