The following Gallery is Jarod's pictures he took during his visit to the Con in 2001. This was before the E.O.C. had become an actual group; the time when it was just a wild idea he, Jim, and Nathan dreamed about. It wasn't until they met Jessica and Alex at Anime Expo in 2002 that they formed the cosplay troupe.

All of the captions on these pictures are by Jarod.
