Oh finally, I will have this weekend off and I can attend! :>

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:08:27 pm »

I live so close I should be able to go. I'm not sure if I will wear anything or not.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #3 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:40:25 pm »

I work both days but want to somehow come out and at least try to register for Kumoricon 2012 if possible.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #4 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:05:09 pm »

Oh man, i'm totally going to this! Most likely in cosplay :3

Anyone know what will be going on there? I went to the Spring Festival once and I have to admit it was a little disappointing...

In 2010, the Sakura fest (or Spring fest, if that's what you'd like to call it) was also pretty small and disapointing, but the Festival Japan in 2010 was really fun ^^ There was a ton of things going on.

Well there was at least 5 or 6 food booths (mostly stir fried food and BBQ stuff. Also Taiyaki). There where about 3 game booths for the younger kids. A kumoricon booth. Lots of booths selling things like, buttons, T-shirts, cellphone charms, little decorations, baboo plants, other kinds of plants such as flowers, magazines, and some other things i don't quite remember. Live music. Some sales going on in the actual store. Crafts... And some other stuff i don't remember xD

VampireFangs103 · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:39:58 pm »

I'll probably head there one of the days. =3 Anyone know if there will be a kumoricon booth? o.o I usually pre-reg at this event. T.T I'd be real disappointed if there wasn't a booth this time.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 09, 2011, 12:54:03 pm »

I'm totally going! Good way to start my school year ^^

I'll cosplay, but as whom will depend on the weather.

cutthroatpixie · « **Reply #12 on:** September 09, 2011, 06:00:30 pm »

That is right near where I live, so I'll probably stop by. Sounds fun.

XxBelovedxSoubixX · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2011, 11:56:39 pm »

I'll probably go one of the days.

Chromophobic · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2011, 12:36:30 am »

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2011, 11:38:44 am »

I may test out my hello kitty cosplay there. Ive never gone, but always wanted to. Ive also got a couple summer kimonos that ive been wanting to wear. Maybe ill do that. How much is it to pre reg there for all three days?

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2011, 11:47:41 am »

I'm so totally going to attend, if I can get over there. I really really wanna go! *wiggles a little* I could pull Mei back out, for this event. :3 I'll have to save money from work, for food and stuff.

CosplayGeek4 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2011, 04:10:41 pm »

I e-mailed registration Thursday asking if k-con was going to have a booth, I haven't heard back.

I will post if I do.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #26 on:** September 19, 2011, 01:43:53 pm »

I hate how EVERYthing happens on Saturdays, it forces tough choices to be made.

I can appear on Sunday as Luigi. Bringing the sounds and maybe snackies.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #27 on:** September 19, 2011, 01:49:50 pm »

I'm bringing a friend with me ^^ We'll probably show up as France and Italy.

Higuma · « **Reply #28 on:** September 19, 2011, 04:04:27 pm »

The Kids and I will be there. I can never pass up Taiyaki!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #29 on:** September 19, 2011, 08:26:00 pm »

I am going to have some find someone else to go with rather than my go to person since Meg is moving to Eugene tomorrow ;_;

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #30 on:** September 20, 2011, 02:09:18 pm »

Nikki, I'll be there!

Also camera is coming along. Will be recording 15 minutes clips, at a time, for the cosplay shenanigans.

zenneth · « **Reply #31 on:** September 20, 2011, 08:34:41 pm »

EFF i have work 10-7pm... it's as if the world doesnt want me to join either mtg innistrad pre release or this festival DX

otakunobody · « **Reply #32 on:** September 21, 2011, 12:24:24 am »

I'm going to this with Chromo for her birthday since i'll be with her all weekend

Official cosplay i'm going in has not been decided yet.

My choices:
Closet Cosplay of Doom
Monkey D Luffy
Lust (missing tattoo)
Itachi Uchiha
Roy Mustang (missing most of the shoulder Uniform stars :p)

So Luffy Saturday and Roy Sunday?

Riitah~ · « **Reply #41 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:00:14 pm »

sounds awesome to me! Should I cosplay though? My friend wants me to cosplay with her, but I'm not sure. It seems a lot of other people are, but last /I/ heard people at Uwajimaya get anal when people cosplay in the store and stuff. So, I don't know.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:26:10 pm »

For cosplay I would say something comfortable to wear and walk around. Nothing really fragile or large since the area isn't all that big and there will be people walking/running around. And warning that this is Oregon so it may be hot and possibly rain...B/c Oregon's awesome like that and omg I missed you so ;A; (sorry, was in Florida for 2 weeks >>)

I'm gonna wear Riku one day. And maybe do my Hatter if my other Wonderland group wants to come and hang ^^

kylite · « **Reply #43 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:39:50 pm »

Based on the front page. No events listed on the website, no informaiton from the higher ups, and its happening tomorrow, Im gnna guess K-Con has no booth this time around

note: I do hope I am wrong

luvan1me · « **Reply #44 on:** September 23, 2011, 06:25:49 pm »

they might. But who knows.

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:15:29 pm »

It doesnt cost anything to get in does it?

Raveen92 · « **Reply #46 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:16:37 pm »

I doubt it, it's a huge store

luvan1me · « **Reply #47 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:35:08 pm »

no people. it's free :3

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #48 on:** September 23, 2011, 07:49:27 pm »

Lol yay! Thank you

luvan1me · « **Reply #49 on:** September 23, 2011, 09:27:33 pm »
