We invite James/BluLightning Cosplay from the podcast Cosplay Bytes to join us for a roundtable discussion about Accuracy vs. Originality: Part 2!

Val provides a quick review of ArlingCon, while she and Amber tackle the news of a new foam line at Joann Fabric and Craft from Cosplay by Yaya Han.

Yep. Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is the name of the episode. So what do we cover? Our guesting at C-Con and an interesting topic: What is your ideal convention?
