Iron Cosplay: And it's time for the Iron Cosplay event!  This year's big Iron Cosplay saw veteran cosplayers teaming up in two rounds of cosplay insanity to build and bestow their finest creations ever in honor of the cardboard and duct tape gods.  The final round featured the theme "Samurai" with secret ingredient cd-roms.  With tape ripping and cardboard snipping, the contestants were on their way towards Iron Cosplay glory with only an hour to fabricate their projects in front of judges and the audience.  In the end, only one shall stand and that honor was crowned to the Samurai Pizza Cats!  The Samurai Warrior was nothing to look down upon either and both entries were very inspirational and nicely done given the amount of time and necessity to belt out a full-size costume.  Excellent job to all the players!
