Holiday Matsuri 2018
This was the first time I attended Holiday Matsuri or Holmat as everyone refers to it and all I can say is what an awesome experience. Holmat is the last major con of the year in the East Coast that is held at the World Center Marriot hotel in Orlando Florida. Many Cosplayers from all over the country and world attend this con not only because of the con itself but also to attend Disney World and the other theme parks in the area. Since it is held in December many of the cosplays are Holiday inspired. I saw so many awesome holiday themed cosplays as well as some original ones too. The overall vibe to the con was so festive. Overall the con is definitely in my list as one of the cons to attend. I totally enjoyed the experience and miss the con.

Anime NYC 2018
Anime NYC 2018 was a blast. This is Anime NYC's 2nd year and it has become so much bigger than last year. The con is held at the Jacob Javitz Convention center the same area where NYCC is held a month before. Last year was its first year and not to many people were aware of it. This year, however, attendance was much higher than last year and from what I see, this will keep growing every year until it rivals NYCC. Walking around the convention center was so awesome, as there were so many great displays on anything anime related from merchandise, to anime previews as well as video games. Of course, the main attraction for me was covering all the awesome cosplays. There were so many this year compared to last and each year the cosplays get so much better. Overall I totally enjoyed Anime NYC and can't wait for next year.

London MCM Comic Con Oct 2018
This is my 2nd time going to London for MCM London Comic Con. The con is held twice a year, May and Oct. Last year I went in May. This time I attended in Oct. Although it was much colder than I had thought I still managed to capture many awesome cosplays from not just the UK but all over Europe and the world. I always enjoy going to cons outside the US so I can see all the talented cosplayers from all over the world. This was such a great con to cover and highly recommend it for those that want to experience a con outside the US.

ThyGeekdom Con 2018
This is the first time I attended Thygeekdom con and although it is a smaller con thats held in the Greater Philadelpia Expo Center, it was still fun attending. I not only covered the event for the con but also go to shoot a few cosplayers one on one. Outside the convention center there is a wonderfull area to shoot. Overall, its a awesome low key con to enjoy.

Anime USA 2018
This was my second year attending Anime USA and I totally enjoyed it. Although not as big as other Anime Cons, it attracts many cosplayers from the area and has a great vibe to it for all attendees. This year I was part of the staff covering events but I did get some time to cover various cosplays throughout the event. The con is held at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C. which is a perfect hotel for photoshoots. The hotel has a section filled with Mirrors and an beautiful hallway for photos. There were many nice cosplays all around. Overall a wonderful experience.
