Welcome to the CosLife HAQ podcast.  Hosted by Alexandra Kot, a recent addition to the SoCal cosplay community, this is where questions are asked about cosplay, life, and the lifestyles grown within the relationship of both life and cosplay.  Some questions might seem simple (or anxiety-inducing) to some, but when asked honestly, the answers can provide the perspective and insight to create a more positive and welcoming community. Grow the community and yourself by joining the conversation!  Join topic-specific guests as they discuss honestly ask questions about facets of the cosplay community and its members. The CosLifeHAQ is released on Tuesday and each episode can be downloaded via iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play.

ON THIS EPISODE

Chris and Rachel of The Nerd Lys join us to discuss basic con etiquette. Conventions can be overwhelming for new cosplayers and for new attendees who don’t cosplay. There are unspoken rules of conduct that someone who is new to the convention scene may not be aware of. In this episode, we try to discuss and help newcomers navigate their way through a convention.

ABOUT THE GUESTS

Chris and Rachel are The Nerd Lys, a married couple who wanted to create a fun space for themselves to chat about the nerdy things they enjoy and share that with the community. They met at Arizona State University and have been together since our senior year of college. They began the podcast on February 14th, 2015, after Rachel took inspiration from her hero Kevin Smith to “just go for it and create something”. Rachel has been cosplaying under the moniker Lady Rae Gun since 2012, with characters like Quorra and Gem from Tron: Legacy, Red Sonja, Tank Girl, Holtzmann and Asajj Ventress. Chris followed shortly after, cosplaying as Russell from Up, Casey Jones and most notably Wong from Dr. Strange. Chris has been practicing cosplay and portrait photography since 2012 and just recently launched his photography page (OddlLy Captured).

ABOUT THE HOST

Alexandra is the current host and brainchild behind the CosLifeHAQ podcast.  An engineer by day and a cosplayer in whatever free time she musters, she’s a transplant from North Carolina that, while still new, has thrown herself headfirst into the cosplay community.  Her fandoms include Marvel, the Alien Anthology, and Disneyland.
