Another month, another Gasukan. This one was quite different from all the ones I have participated though, not only the amount of people that showed up was amazing, but I also took an amazingly amount of pictures. I also stayed for roughly 5 hours, the longest I have stayed for any cosplay meetup.

I guess one of the reasons so many people showed up was because Ken gathered many of his friends to do his swimsuit / beach project at the same time. It was a great idea, actually, because Golden Gardens turned out to be one of the best beach park here in Pacific Northwest that I have been to. The beach was quite packed though.

But of course, I wouldn’t want to miss out the opportunity to take cosplay pictures too. And quite surprisingly, my friends showed up in some sort of Indiana Jones type explorer, safari outfits for Hetalia. I have no idea where that came from, but it was hella cool.

Like any other Gasukan, it’s always a great time to meet new friends, as this GK was no exception. I met quite a few friends’ friends, which is always fun.

It’s pretty exhausting to run around taking pictures under the hot sun, though. By the end of the day I was ready to just sit down and eat something and drink a large amount of liquid. Eli, being a super awesome guy, gave me a sandwich, and that, is a super lifesaver. THANK YOU ELI! And as always, if you are interested in GK, just stop by the meetup sometime. Everyone’s friendly, and nobody bites.
