Otaku Omaha — The Masquerade

otaku_omaha_masquerade_1 As anyone who has read much of this blog will know, one of my favorite features of anime and science fiction conventions is the masquerade.  Something about watching a bunch of nerds get up on stage in costume, sometimes acting out a short skit, is very entertaining. 

Otaku Omaha’s masquerade, though small, was interesting.  There were several original and creative costumes which I had not seen attempted before, and a couple very detailed costumes that were better than any version I otaku_omaha_masquerade_12had seen before.  The few people who attempted skits did not do anything particularly memorable.  However,  I had a great time, the event was run well without any problems, and all of the contestants seemed to have a great time.
