“Jon has been coming to Cosplay Night for years, and so we want to have this night to celebrate him, and his life. He was such a spark of light for so many of us. We strongly encourage everyone to dress up in their favorite costumes. The more the merrier, and we strive to make Cosplay Night a safe and fun place to geek out with, and get to know others that love the same things.”
