After noticing the recent chatter about Cosplay here on YABS, and with gracious permission from Gail and Corrina, I thought some of you might be interested in an event I'm running here in the UK this July, the Cosplay Cruise.

It's a one-of-a-kind event: an at-water Cosplay Party that will be sailing down the Thames and back for five hours on a hopefully gorgeous summer evening. We're running from 7pm-midnight on 10th July, and have live music performances, DJ sets, full sized dance floor, bars on both decks, an event photographer, competitions and more! The boat itself is a stunning, restored paddle steamer, the largest passenger vessel on the Thames. Cosplay isn't mandatory, so if you just want to come to party down, feel free, and if you do cosplay, it doesn't have to be anime or video game based - comic, TV, movie, western animation, etc, are all fine inspirations!

Tickets are on sale now - click through the link above for more info - but we're only able to sell until this Friday, 25/06, as we need to confirm attendee numbers to the boat's owners.

Hope to see some of you there, and thanks again to the mods for letting me post this!
