Thank you, Parsee and Ran cosplayers who ran the Underground Izakaya at TouhouFest this year. Your miso soup was awesome and kept me moving!

(For those who dont know, I cosplayed as Aya and did a lot of stuff at the convention, namely singing, playing trumpet, and generally being very silly. If you've seen any buzz from TouhouFest, I might've been mentioned haha)

[touhoufest]

touhoufest inspired doodles, including urumi's standup comedy, yukari drinking sake out of a flask, and there being double (triple) seigas!

A photo of my Inu Sakuya Cosplay from Touhoufest!! Really fun little costume to put together! Touhoufest was a lot of fun and it was a huge honor to guest again. Although I got so cooked on Sunday (I'm Canadian and was unprepared for the sun) and got super sunburned. SO if you saw me looking a little rough on the later half of Sunday I apologize!!

TouhouFest 2024 was a BLAAAAAAAAAAAAST!!!!

Thank you everyone who attended, everyone who performed, everyone who traveled far to be here, everyone who cosplayed, everyone who sold their art here, everyone who worked their butts off to keep things running, everyone who... well, just everyone!!

We'll see you all next year!

JUNE 13-14 2025, MARK THE DATE!!!

FELLAS WE HAVE TOUHOUFEST MERCH NOW

With the support of artists like Cloudie and Freeze-Ex, we are now tabling official TouhouFest 2024 products for attendees to purchase next weekend at the convention in Torrance, CA! Get 'em while they're still hot, because I highly doubt these things will last longer than noon on Day 1.

I should know, because I'm also gonna be racing to get some lmao

Try and beat me to it!!! AYAYAYAYAYAAAA~!!!

(but also do take a look at our other artists and vendors please support local artists ok bye):
