Hey guys! Just wanted to update you guys on my plans for Momocon!!! Thursday: Picking Up Tickets Friday: McCree - Overwatch Saturday: Snow Quill Armor Link - Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sunday: Barry Bluejeans - The Adventure Zone In terms of what I'll be doing these days: Thursday: I'll just be picking up tickets, then leaving the con. Friday: I'll be mostly hanging out, and might go to the photoshoot at noon if I have the time. I'll update you more on that later.
