Nobody Recognizes My Cosplay!
We've all been there -- dressed up as a beloved but underappreciated character, only to have everyone mistake you for someone else. In this lighthearted panel, cosplayers share their funny (and sometimes frustrating) stories of playing lesser-known characters and the confusion that comes with it. From Star Trek Orions to obscure anime heroes, we'll explore how cosplaying the unexpected can bring both joy and moments of comic relief. Bring your own lesser-known cosplays and join the fun -- let's give these characters the recognition they deserve!
