Chicago-area cosplayers!  It’s a bit last minute but cosplayers are needed to help out tomorrow to make some kids happy.  If you have a kid-friendly costume, and are able to get to the west Loop area of Chicago please consider helping out!  Even if you don’t have a costume but want to help kids, please do!
