Last weekend USA representatives for 2008 Sonnya and Renee were a part of Cosplay Day at Kinokuniya Bookstore in New York. Along with others on the panel they answered questions about cosplay and Japan in general.

They arrived at around 2:30pm and things went from 3-5pm. They answered questions for about an hour and a half to a packed house. Well, from the sounds of it the Kinokuniya Manga/Art level isn't that big so 50+ people makes for a full house. Sounds like a good time as lots were dressed up in cosplay.

Sonnya dressed up as Mikuru from Haruhi and Renee went as Renee. :D It was actually Sonnya's birthday too and since she is a big Spiderman fan, they surprised her with a Spiderman cake.

Looks delicious! They finished off the afternoon with an interview from Samurai Beat Radio, if you google Samurai Beat Radio you can find a bunch of related articles from the event with other pictures too. Thanks to Leonard for the pictures and Anna, Sonnya and Renee for the info. Sounds like it was a good time!
