It is a sad day for us. Cosfest gave me good memories for two years, especially. But whatever the case of troublemakers and what not, we MUST remain cohesive as a group and portray our best sides (what I've said in other posts).
Sigh. We are already a niche group in a subculture, but we won't go out dyin' so quickly. Pray tell, was this request strongly-worded, or simply routine traffic? So we can plan ahead if need be... (uh, anything can take it to PM I don't mind).
I do not think we should lament, whine or emo over this.
There are other events.
That is also why I do not carry emotional attachments or baggage to events.
Please do not turn this into a major issue.
I am just honouring a request.
Please do not take it out on Anime Cosplayers.
They have no part in this.
I regard them as friends.
