GUEST PANEL

THE SECRETS I’VE LEARNED COSPLAYING

FEATURING BAMALA COSPLAY

So you want to know some tips and tricks on cosplaying?
Well I’m going to tell you some stories on why I do certain
things. Cosplaying is a very intricate and very taxing thing.
That being said, there’s a few tips and tricks I’ve learned
along the ways to make it easier and less time consuming. I
would much rather spend all of my time in Cosplay at a con
than spending months making the cosplay. I have learned
quite a few tips to shorten the process of making cosplays
and tips on how to travel safer with my cosplays.

- Did You Know -
Not only is Bamala Cosplay and excellent cosplayer, she also is excellent
at construction and crafts. Together with her father, she built just about

anything, from instruments to actual boats in her backyard.

STAR TREK: THE OTHER OFFICERS

FEATURING CHILDREN DRIVING ROBOTS
One person cannot run a ship. Someone’s got to fix the
broken transporter, make sure the ship doesn’t crash into a
moon, and find out who ran the “will Tribbles eat Duranium”
betting pool. Join Children Driving Robots for a discussion
about select hard working “other” officers. You think the
Captain’s working the night shift?

anniversary, we present this panel which will share special
stories behind the scenes and a lot more besides. Do you
want to know the secret?
