I plan on going, I just need to save money.
I'll be:
The Dead Master from the B*RS OVA
Gakuko Kamui from VOCALOID
And Maybe Sebastian if I can drag my Bochan along.
If not I'll be Tamaki Souh from Ouran.

Shi_no_Akuma · « **Reply #51 on:** September 11, 2010, 10:03:52 pm »

I'm pretty sure I haven't posted here yet. ._.

I'm planning on going and dragging a sibling and a friend up. |D

As far as cosplays, I'm going as Succession & Normal! Austria, and Fem!RED Spy. I have another one sorta planned, but it depends on if another friend can make it to Sakura~

tofutakeout · « **Reply #52 on:** September 12, 2010, 02:04:36 pm »

So I finally have all my cosplay figured out for what I want to do. I can't do much though considering Sage and I are making like 4 costumes from Blazblue for our friends. I still need to finish mine too. Yeah, this con might end up being hectic.

Now all I need to do is Pre-reg and finish my costumes. Lol

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #53 on:** September 12, 2010, 02:16:31 pm »

I really want to go to S-Con. D:

Animeman73 · « **Reply #54 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:27:27 pm »

I'm definitely going to go but I think I'll wait untill the hotel code is up and then kill two birds with one stone (that is get myself registered and get my hotel room.).

BlackLaceAndPearl · « **Reply #55 on:** September 12, 2010, 05:56:59 pm »

My sister and I are gonna try to go if we can, but it's kinda far, and hotels can be expensive. I mentioned it to my mom, and she vaguely said "Maybe we could have a little family vacation." If that actually happens, I'm so excited. As far as practical cosplay for the con goes, it has to be something small and enough to pack, functional enough to wear comfortably, in case I need to wear it in the car, and not too fragile, for many reasons.

But I really hope we can go. It's a bit pricier than Kumoricon, but looking at last year's guests of honor, I will go if it is at all possible.

KogaRyu · « **Reply #56 on:** September 12, 2010, 09:16:04 pm »

I haven't exactly figured out what I'm doing for Cosplay, but I'll be there for sure!

Kato_Shiroi · « **Reply #57 on:** September 13, 2010, 07:55:44 am »

Mina, Konnichi wa!

Just a little reminder that the price of pre-reg goes up October 1st. You can check the pre-reg schedule and pricing here: https://secure.sakuracon.org/registration/index.php

Cheers,

1. Sexy Vader
2. Gunner Yuna

Does anyone know any good hotels? I stayed at the Hilton last time and it was pretty nice. :]

i am definitly going. this years was amazing so i have high hopes for 2011. also wtf was up with that guy at the Auction ripping up those double passes, my friend and i were trying to buy it for another friend as a gift....such a douche

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #63 on:** September 19, 2010, 02:42:19 am »

I hope I can goooo - though school clashes with it

Animeman73 · « **Reply #64 on:** September 19, 2010, 09:13:41 pm »

I think for Sakuracon I'll go as Henry Townshend. Mainly because he's the easiest cosplay to do and I have the material already and because he and I are both adults. Talk about recycling.

swordbullets · « **Reply #65 on:** September 26, 2010, 06:30:43 pm »

dkiljcdkyjfdsa I want to go, but I don't know if I'll be able to afford it. If I do end up going, it'll be as Engineer from Team Fortress 2.

Kato_Shiroi · « **Reply #66 on:** September 26, 2010, 08:59:35 pm »

Ok, just a reminder that October 1st registration increases to $45, only a few days from now.

Cheers,
Kato

I would love to but I don't know... its something I'll have to talk with others about.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #69 on:** September 27, 2010, 10:06:00 pm »

I'm back to 'maybe going' again...
A friend said if he has a job and such, he'd pay for me for my b-day present.

I have a few cosplay possibilities that I'm going through. The main one being Graverobber from REPO.
But yeah...I don't know.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #70 on:** September 27, 2010, 10:20:02 pm »

Gonna get my badge tomorrow most likely. Or well register for it, since I don't have a credit card so I have to ask my dad for some help on that one.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #71 on:** September 28, 2010, 10:22:07 am »

I need to pre-reg! D:
I'll talk to my parents about it, because I know they want to go again as well.

Shadow · « **Reply #72 on:** September 28, 2010, 11:59:00 am »

SO GOING.

We'll be doing the whole Depp Squad thing again, but Hatter and I are also going to be cosplaying as Hit-Girl (myself) and Mindy (her) from Kick-Ass! I AM SO EXCITED.

Kato_Shiroi · « **Reply #73 on:** September 28, 2010, 01:16:43 pm »

After the October 1 increase, I'll try to post a reminder again before the next increase on January 1st. when it goes to $50.

Yosh!, back to my cosplay costumes...my target date for getting them all done is Valentines day...

Ja ne,
Kato

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #74 on:** September 30, 2010, 02:38:20 am »

Hmm...from the looks of it, i might go to this owo If i make enough money for the ticket and get a (hopefully free or at a REALLY cheap price) place to stay ;w;

BECAUSE I NEED TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #77 on:** September 30, 2010, 07:48:35 pm »

I has a question. Is Sakuracon more or less fun than Kumoricon? Also, is there more or less things to do at Sakuracon?

Fuyuko · « **Reply #78 on:** September 30, 2010, 10:05:56 pm »

@Saki: From my personal experience, I find both cons to be fun in their own ways. I still can't decide which one I favor the most though.
I like Sakuracon because of the ideal location (at a convention center) as well as where it's situated: in the middle of the city, literally right across from the Sheraton which I've always stayed at since my first time going. ^.^ There's also a ton of stuff to do. The Dealer's Hall there is AMAZING. <3
Now, I like Kumoricon just as much because the people there seem more laid back and friendly, and you feel more personal with them than at a super large con like Sakuracon. I'm assuming it's because Kumoricon has a smaller community, although it has been growing rapidly like whoa.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #79 on:** September 30, 2010, 10:08:27 pm »

I agree with Fuyuko. They both have their own pro's and con's. Some more than others. But it depends.

@Katie

DO IT. I MISS YOU.

Wait, who are you cosplaying?

soundninja12 · « **Reply #80 on:** September 30, 2010, 11:03:50 pm »

Meeee?
I'm having a Final Fantasy Orgy, with Carl and Shilo.

Fang - FFXIII
Tidus - FFX
Zell - FFVIII
Carl Clover - Blazblue
Shilo Wallace - Repo! The Genetic Opera
AND (if I have time)
Mion - Higurashi.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #81 on:** September 30, 2010, 11:31:44 pm »

fff makes me wanna do a Viera. But that's not for a year or so. :<

Taokaka from Blazblue-Definitely
Maria from Arakawa;under the bridge-Definitely
Pai, neolucky's OC-possibly

Malaria · « **Reply #85 on:** October 06, 2010, 10:20:22 pm »

I have my Sakuracon list sorted! It only took a couple months of cajoling my cosplay group. : D
I'm probably most excited for our genderbent Hanna's Not a Boy's name group. The characters are written in a way that reads gender neutral, so they're perfect candidates for being bent. >w<
And I get to be the schoolboy Antichrist on fire, so this'll be a good con.

Steam punk luka? Really? I'll think about it. XD I might try to wear some Lastwear clothing instead though.

(sorry for late response. Didn't even notice this until today) Dx

Kato_Shiroi · « **Reply #87 on:** October 07, 2010, 08:10:08 am »

Just some info and stats for those who are curious what Sakura-con offers:

Here's this past years con schedule: http://www.sakuracon.org/programming/schedule.php

I believe we had over 1,100 Hours of programming to choose from (I was co-coordinator for 3 cosplay chess games, 2 crossplay panels, parent's guide to anime panel and helped with the ballroom dance 101 panel)
And yes we are a full 24 hour convention.

Here's the Exhibitors Hall Map so you can get an idea of how many vendors we have:
http://www.sakuracon.org/exhibitors/Exhibitors_Hall_2011.pdf

And here's the Map of the Convention Space so you can get an idea of the layout:
http://www.sakuracon.org/location/SC2010_WSCTC_GeneralMaps.pdf

I really like both conventions as they offer fun and different things. I also like how both are all volunteer organized and run, including alot of the programming.

Hope that helps,
Cheers
Kato
