At Sugoicon, we continue to try new twists on old favorites, and the Cosplay is no exception! If you're nervous about the idea of getting up onstage, have no worries on that score -- there is no stage! Instead, we'll have a friendly and informal reception, cosplayers mingling with congoers, with judging quietly going off on the side. All the prizes are based on costume quality, so you don't need to have a skit ready... but hamming it up for the crowd never hurts, ne?
The Cosplay rules are now online!

Anime Hell
Main Programming (Boone)
[Friday: Midnight - 4am]
Because we demanded it... AGAIN! In the spirit of all that is horrid to watch, we present you with Anime Hell. Straight from AWA, Dave Merrill brings us all things that are wacky and odd. While not necessarily all anime related, it contains some of those obscure clips you’ve seen through the years. From wacky fan films to bizarre professional clips. And as always obscure animation, commercials and things we can’t even begin describe in print. Come, bring an extra big sense of humor, and prepare to laugh till Dr. Pepper comes out of your nose.
