It’s interesting to compare this year’s convention to previous years. At first glance, it may not look like it, but much has changed about the convention over the past few years, and there are some who say it may be for the worse.

This Saturday, I hit the floor of the 2nd annual Cyphan convention in Rosemont (Chicago), IL. This convention draws a heavy number of costumers, and there was no shortage of amazing costumes to see.
