Aside from the Bristol Comic Con, my
hometown of Bristol does not feature heavily in the anime calendar
(well, the British premiere of Akira was held here but that was
ages ago!) so it was a welcome change to attend an event which I didn't
have to travel for over two hours to get to. The event in question
was a party entitled Bristol Cosplay Night run by the Bristol Anime
Club (BAC) and was held on 24th January 2008. |

shown up and everyone was
enjoying themselves. With no teenage Narutards to worry about,
no hardcore con-goers moaning that cosplayers weren't posing well
enough for pictures and no overpriced drinks, there was nothing that
could stop everyone's fun! |
As far as I can remember the night was one of the best nights out in Bristol I have ever had (I think *rubs head*)! Although you could argue that dressing up is commonplace in city centres due to hen nights and charity events, the difference with Bristol Cosplay Night is a) the costumes were actually good and b) it was easy to chat to everyone who attended and just have a laugh. On top of that the music played was top-notch as well with latest themes such as Bleach, older ones such as Love Hina and even a bit of randomness with Streets Of Rage, there was music for everyone. Over the page I talk to Michael Hirst, founder of BAC on his thoughts of how BCN went. |
