Bookfair Leipzig is coming close

Like every year the Bookfair Leipzig is hold in March.

It's starting this week from March 14th until March 17th.

Many authors will present their new works.
My major interest is the comic area in hall 2, this area is almost 40% of the hall. There are comic booths, comic shops, Anime/Manga shops, Merchandising booths/shops and so on.

But the booths are not the most interesting thing in the comic zone, it's the Cosplay community which is meeting there. To explain this community I think I have to explain Cosplay first, this word is created out of the words costume and play. They're doing their costumes on their own or buy them, but the major part is creating their costume theirselves. Normally they share a great passion for their favorite Anime, Manga, Video Game, movie, japanese fashion and others.
They choose a character and try to impersonate this one in the most accurate way.

Hundreds of cosplayer can be found on this 4 days, I'm going to take many pictures to give you an impression of this community. There are also many competitions, e.g. at this fair there are two competitions, where the challengers not only present their costumes but also make a short show. On Saturday there will be the preliminaries for the ECG (European Cosplay Gathering), the final of this europeanwide competition will be in Paris at Japan Expo. On Sunday a normal regional competition will be hold.

And guess who will be the presenter of this two competitions..., you guessed right, Tony Montana will be the host of these two shows. And that's wrong, because I will present these competitions.

Maybe you will meet me there

So long everyone.
