If you've never heard of VGL, I'd suggest looking at it:

That aside, I'll be going to the Dallas, TX meetup, which date is yet to be announced. Reason why I'm posting this here? I'm making a Phantasy Star cosplay group for the costume contest! I'm working on making a homemade Rolf Landale outfit, and providing a Laser Sword for looks. My friend is also attempting at making a RAcast outfit from PSZero, along with a Mag. I'm wondering if anyone from here would be interested in going, providing you live somewhat nearby and/or simply want to hear about our escapade as PS characters.
