Oh shit son, I started cause I learned I could wear clone trooper armor ... in public... how could I say no? ... then I could be Spider-Man.. uh yeah seriously how did I not get into this sooner, started in 2009, May Expo popping the cherry and I ve been going ever since, met some of the bestest friends I could ever ask for and even the bestest, its a rag tag group of freaks geeks and everything absurd but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I also co run UK Cosplay, its like here but not... UK only and on facebook a nice lil community is all.
