Weekly What To Do: Costume Weekend

Here's a breakdown for all things Halloween, if you missed it.

Not only is it Halloween, but Little Tokyo is going to be busy and filled with young ladies for Hello Kitty Con (sold out), starting this Thursday. Japan Fair will be going on just a block or two from that Kitty Con, celebrating Japanese culture. The Day of the Dead will be celebrated at the Grand Park nearby and Olvera Street. A few miles away or a Metro ride is Comikaze  Expo, that means costumes, costumes, costumes!

Convention and Fair

Comikaze Expo 2014 Oct 31-Nov 2
Los Angeles Convention Center
1201 South Figueroa Street
Starts at $30 a day, $70 for all three days.

A gaggle of celebrities from past shows and movies with vendors selling all the nerd merch you can eat up. Looking over the schedule it's more of a how-to guide on creating your own tributes to fandom from making a view worthy YouTube show to starting your own comics. Some highlights include: Mad TV Cast Reunion, The Room Screening, The Kings of Cosplay Stand-Up, Spider Man: The Animated Series 20th Anniversary,Teen Titans Go! Cast Panel on Sunday.
