Says Chocolate Covered Cosplay: "We wanted to bring you a whole new dance party experience this year! We want to do a 'Good vs Evil' themed party! And what better way to execute this but with a Panty & Stocking themed dance party!! Don't have a Panty & Stocking cosplay? That's ok! Just pick a side: Angel or Devil, and turn your favorite character into one of them! We will have a live performance by Ashphord Aka Ashi-chan, as well as the members of C3 cosplaying from Panty & Stocking onstage while we dance the night away. So grab your halos, horns, guarder belts, briefs, wings & heaven coins, and come out for a night you won't forget!! <3<3<3"
