Anime Vegas 2012 was held at the Cashman convention center over this past weekend. The facilities were beautiful and provided a great venue for the event. It seemed as though there were many more attendees than previous years and the cosplayers were amazing as always. Click here to view a slideshow of the Anime Vegas cosplayers.

Here are some of the highlights from Anime Vegas 2012…

The Cashman convention center is a huge space with a lot of room for the many vendors that offered a great selection of things like plush toys, posters, t-shirts, keychains, DVDs, costumes and cosplay …

Very Awesome Girls Into Nerdy Activities is a club out of Las Vegas of close to 50 ladies who engage in various events and contribute to charities around town as a group. They range in age from 18 to their 30’s and are drawn together for a mutual love of all things nerdy.

The club was started originally by Stephanie Payne (that’s her real name), who often partners with local comic book stores like Maximum Comics, Cosmic Comics and Ralph of Alternate Reality Comics. Ralph lets the group hold events in the store or collaborates on different activities around the valley.…

As previously reported on Nerdsociety, the Las Vegas Comic Expo will be held this coming weekend Saturday 9/29 and Sunday 9/30.  Because of the recent storms that hit Vegas, the previous lociation – the Alexis Park Resort – experienced extensive flooding damage causing the venue to be relocated to the Riviera Hotel (so make sure you don’t show up at the wrong hotel decked out in your Halo Noble 6 gear or you might get 86’d!)  Alexis Park will have a shuttle that can can take you to the Riviera should you decide to remain at the Alexis Park.

One of the most talked about cosplay photos to emerge out of this year’s Comic-con in San Diego has been this image of Angelica in her sexy adaptation of Ezio Auditore’s costume from Assassin’s Creed.  Angelica was nice enough to answer a few questions for our Nerd Society readers….

NS – How long have you been into cosplaying?

Angelica – Technically since I was 18, but I’ve been playing dress up since I was 2. My first costume was Jiminy Cricket and my sister was Pinocchio.

NS – Do you make all your own costumes?

Angelica – Sure do. I made …

Some cosplayers just dress up for conventions, festivals or Halloween. Sarah isn’t your average cosplayer.  Her everyday look is out of another era. She’s also not just into cosplaying. Sarah is a burlesque dancer who has performed the vagina monolgues.  (Although not at the same time). Nerd Society caught up with Sarah and she was nice enough to answer a few questions.

NS – How long have you been cosplaying?

Sarah – I’ve always liked wearing costumes and putting my own twists on things. I never really considered myself a true cosplayer. But as far as comic characters, I’d say I’ve …

Anime Expo never fails to impress me with the cosplayers.  I think they’re the best out of all the conventions and that includes Comic-Con!  Below are awesome costumes from AX 2012.  Usually there’s a theme every year like Vocaloid or Naruto but this year was all about variety from your favorite anime to video games and movies.

Enjoy!

She looks damn freaky, especially when she’s walking in the hotel.  Great vid as it also shows her interaction with con attendees and fellow cosplayers:

Attack Of The Show host, Kevin Pereira, is promoting a Nerd event at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA.  The event will have what geeks want: video games, lifestyle (toys, music, food), podcasts & technology.

Kevin Smith (Clerks) will also make an appearance, along with Felicia Day (The Guild).  The one day event will start at 7pm and I’m guessing will end around 2 am.  Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite costumes and will be rewarded for it.

Tickets will be available through ticketmaster but there is no price yet.  I’m guessing, they’re trying to gauge the interest for the …

There was a great turnout this past weekend at Anime Vegas.  Moving the event to November was definitely a good idea since the weather is so much more bearable this time of year.  There was so much to see and do there over the weekend.  The costumes were amazing as always.  Cosplayers at this gathering keep outdoing themselves.  I love seeing all the work that goes into these outfits.    The vibe at this con is always friendly and relaxed.

Check back for part 2 for more specifics about the event.  Here are pics of some of the costumes:

It’s short, but very in-depth. It’s good to hear the experiences from the cosplayer’s themselves.
