2nd Day Observations
The crowds are denser today and the level of sophistication and numbers of cosplayers is definitely raised from yesterday. There is also a greater amount of buzz around each event.
The lobby and opening to the Hynes was filled with large groups of cosplayers organized by theme and by friendship. The security staff is in control and patient but looks VERY confused. Cameras were flashing everywhere.
The crowd is certainly young. Mostly late teens and twenties by casual observation. Everyone is smiling and running, there is a freedom that is coming with this event. I am not sure exactly what it is, but it is contagious and I share some of it.
It looks like it is going to be an eventful day.
