Cosplay Plans 2021 Updated!

I've discovered more events, and even have been accepted into a "causeplay" group based in Sacramento! Also I'm building more elements for pixel art, including "vector lines" and making both 640x240 monochrome (retro computer monitors) and 320x240 4-bit pixels (retro games) easier to set up.

  My YouTube surfing yielded an early 1970s Soviet digital display with 8 segments -- I figured that adding two vertical centerline segments would produce the letters of the English Alphabet without a lot of compromise -- now it's a motif for that sci-fi that I'm planning to title "Rift Jumpers"

Cosplay in 2024: New Confidence   I brought my new Mysterio to SacAnime Winter 2024, and felt very welcome and included with the Sacramento Spider-Verse group at the big photoshoot & gathering.

Just no more weekday events, especially if there isn't a lot of interest from others. I do look forward to parades, charity events, and gatherings with both groups, along with Solano Cosplay Gathering. Also, I'm starting to get into more gaming with two regular groups with weekly meetups.

Brutal Reality and the Promise of Friends

Brutal Reality I was in San Diego this Labor Day Weekend, and (other than one individual actually talking to me) the class reunion was a sea of backs, shoulders, and turned-away faces. The invisibility that I'm realizing is definitely present, unless an opportunity arises for my embarrassment in any form. This, and the "wolfpack" breaking up during an anime convention which reminded me of my attempts to try to fit in during cosplay gatherings in San Diego, cemented my desire to carve my own path with an Original Character and to weave the exclusion and other "invisibility factors" into the Jambreaker continuity when possible within the flow of the story. Fortunately, though, I did get a positive response from a local fandom group based out of Sacramento, and so my Spider-Man Last Stand outfit could get some action at upcoming events. Also, I wore my Captain Olimar to a photoshoot for a charity calendar for the first time ever. The huge "saving factor"
