8 days ladies and gents. That's a week and 1 day. And the countdown to Sakuracon continues.

It's a frightening count-down!

I'm in the progress of setting my room up for my friend before we head up to the con next Wednesday. And getting stuff also ready to be heading home.

Animeman73 · « **Reply #351 on:** April 14, 2011, 08:39:32 am »

Well this is it folks, 1 WEEK, one teeeny weeny week ladies and gents. And unfortunately I still have things to do before Sakuracon to get ready. Fortunately I've got my list printed so I can really have a look at things today after Taekwondo and see what I need. So much time so little to do...er hold it, strike that reverse it.

And the countdown continues.

DaemonForce · « **Reply #352 on:** April 14, 2011, 08:58:40 am »

I still need to make some pockets redo my gloves so that they actually fit me. I've got all my preparations for my crew and all that's left for me is to stay in shape until the con. I managed to get a few rare snacks this morning and I have a feeling that home is going to welcome me way better than it usually does. I'm not going to give it a choice.

Seven days. Hahahaha!

CRUNCH TIME!!!!!!

Going to have access to a sewing machine today so I can actually get most of my Lady Gideon jacket finished, and make some adjustments to my skirt. Then I'll just have to finish the cane/sword tomorrow, then on Saturday add the Chaos Theater detail on the jackets lapel and buy the red undershirt and glasses.... then BOOM Lady Gideon will be ready!

I also need to do the finishing touches to my Jacqueline skirt tonight, make the top and crown on Saturday, and pull together my Cheerleader cosplay really quick on Saturday and I'll be done! =]

Well...its official... Me and my bf cant go to SakuraCon. We dont have the funds for hotel, gas, and food. Instead we are going to visit my family for Easter.

Animeman73 · « **Reply #355 on:** April 15, 2011, 09:47:51 am »

Hey Gryffinclaw Princess sorry to hear you can't go to Sakuracon. All I can say is try to make the best of it and there's always next year lass. And I promise once all my pictures of Sakuracon are up and on my blog I'll put up a link to it slo everyone including you Gryffinclaw Princess can see some of what went down.

6 days to go untill Sakuracon...AND THE COUNTDOWN TO SAKURACON CONTINUES!!!!!

Oh and one more thing I managed to check some stuff if of my Sakuracon checklist yesterday so I'm a little closedr to being ready to go.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #356 on:** April 15, 2011, 09:52:09 am »

Yeah but this is the third year in a row I have planned to go and then ended up not being able to. I think SakuraCon has something against me so I might not even try next year.

5 days folks, timr to really start making like Larry the Cable Guy and "Get er'done, Get er' done, get er' done, get er' done."

Again I'd like to say to all the Kumoricon forum goers who are going to be up there don't forget to take time to come and support those of us here on the forums who are going to be doing panels, people such as yours truly and RoscoeTEHclam to name a few. Oh and don't forget to come show support for our forum goer whose doing the Battle Royal panel. Let's show Sakuracon what class acts we are here on the Kumoricon forums.

AND THE COUNTDOWN TO SAKURACON CONTINUES!!!!

Fuyuko · « **Reply #361 on:** April 17, 2011, 12:46:54 am »

Oh GOD, I can't even begin to believe how close it's creeping up on us. I feel like time is running ahead and leaving us in the dust. OAO;;

Well, for a change this year, I'm actually going to try out the Masquerade and get a fancy outfit and matching mask together (most likely a Victorian version of England). Looking forward to that as my very last cosplay project~ ^^

luvan1me · « **Reply #362 on:** April 17, 2011, 01:18:15 am »

can't go to the Masquerade sadly cuz i'm staffing at that time T_T and i won't even make it at all ;~; oh wellz. maybe next year.

but anyways! hopefully things run smoothly! ^^

Animeman73 · « **Reply #363 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:48:56 am »

4 days until Sakuracon 2011. It's creeping closer and closer ladies and gents. Let's all do our best to have fun and be happy while we're there.

And while we're at it lets support some of the merchants in the Dealers hall by giving them some busine.s Oh and if Kumoricon has a booth there this year be warned I'll find you and I'll good-naturedly harass you. Muwhahahahahahahahahahahaha! Cough, cough, ahem!

Anyway 4 days until Sakuracon...AND THE COUNTDOWN TO SAKURACON CONTINUES!!!!

Every year I have gone to Sakura Con, I have gotten really sick. I like to call it a literal case of con fever.

so yea... mother is being a butt... and might not even help me finish my kairi outfit

sigh... i knew i shoulda just done it myself...

Animeman73 · « **Reply #367 on:** April 18, 2011, 10:16:01 am »

3 days to go ladies and gentleman. We're counting down to Sakuracon and all the wonderful insanity that will no doubt be there.
If any of you guys from the forum catch me in my Henry Townshend cosplay feel free to come on up and say hi. And for those of you 25 years and older come and check me out at Otaku 25 and older.

3 days folks...AND THE COUNTDOWN TO SAKURACON CONTINUES!!!

Got all my cosplay stuff done though! Just need to start packing and getting random stuff for the trip!

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #370 on:** April 18, 2011, 05:02:04 pm »

OH GOD STUFF TO DO. I think I'll be able to get everything done though, and worse case scenario I have to do some sewing on the train. I've gotta pack, but that won't take long. I only need to buy wig stuff, and my dad promised me he'd get his gi for Genma today (he's been procrastinating XD). I think I'm gonna whip out my sewing machine for boot covers, to save time. (I did the rest of the costume by hand because my sewing machine is craaaap and it can't sew a straight line AT ALL.)

Okay! [cracks knuckles] Lets do this!

I would expect Epic Cosplay to show up in the dealer hall(yay wigs!). I haven't checked the setup. Anyway, get stuff done and go back to being arty. We need more drawings! :3

My new costume has a bit of indistinguishable variation from the first model. I don't intend to wear a wig with it so I might be okay. Anyway I should probably go do something else. Everything was sunny ten minutes ago. A few lightning bolts grabbed my attention and the thunder/hail combo is upsetting everyone. I can't hear myself think. I just hope I don't have to deal with this crappy weather during Sakuracon. Should I bring an umbrella? :/

Urgh, yeah. Mine is superlong, too. I hope it's not too heavy, I need to put it into a really high ponytail.

And so we come to the nitty gritty days. There are 2 days left until Sakuracon 2011. Start packing or finish up your cosplay Ladies and gents because it's a bit of a trip up to Seattle. Again i can't emphasize enough let's go up there to have fun, maybe make a few new friends, meet a few voice actors or manga authors, and whatever you do...DON'T FORGET TO EAT!!! Food is our friend.

2 days leeft untill Sakuracon everyone...AND THE COUNTDOWN TO SAKURACON CONTINUES!!!!

It's only a two hour trip for me. If you're flying in...Go grab a small snack from the sterile area before heading down to baggage claim. SeaTac tends to shut down a little when downtown Seattle is preparing for huge events like this one. I hope the people from Alaska don't choke when they arrive. One of my friends will be flying in through night 0 and he's going to be a bit screwed up from that.

That's why I'm an F-18 bro. I'm an unstoppable dominating force that will deliver my ordinance to the ground. Work is over. It's time for fun! Also, I know food is important but lack of sleep makes me extremely irritable. I'm sure a few others are the same. Make sure you get enough sleep. O_o

so still working on my kairi outfit here -.-" i kinda slept past my initial wake up time (11am) due to a visitor T_T (grr you cat y u so snuggly?) but yea. i'm pumped up with some awesome jamming music and gonna start on this mofo! >D<

sdjnfkasjfklads f I'm rushing to try and get everything finished today! My boyfriend was suppose to leave me his car, but forgot :| So I can't finish a lot of things until after 5 today. Luckily I still have enough wood filler and sandpaper to work on my Romona hammer and it will probably be ready to paint so I can pass it on to my boyfriend when he gets home.

Besides that I still need to finish my Romona purse, get my tattoos and my boyfriends tie decals printed and attach them, and finish packing alkjdsklfjasdkljfkladsjf I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT.

You guys have it easy being motivated to finish props at the last minute. I'm still trying to decide what to pack versus what I'll be wearing in the morning. Anxiety attacks seem to have disappeared for some reason. I think I missed something. o.O

I know how you feel, princessmoon. Gaaaaah, it's so soon!

Decided not to cosplay on Friday, because my wig is awful and I'm just going to dye my own hair and use an extension. Buuut Saturday is a go!

NOW I GOTTA GO PACK.

That's right folks it's Day 0 of Sakuracon 2011. I still have few errands left to run but I'll be up there this afternoon to get my hotel room and my badge. To those of you heading up to the con don't forget to support us Kumoricon forum goers who are doing panels up there this year and don't forget to have fun. To those not going I promise to get lots of pictures. And once I'm home I'll puit them up on my blog and put up a link to them right here as soon as I'm done. I mean what I say.

Anyway I'll be up in Seattle this afternoon top get checked into my hotel room and get my badge. Meanwhile I'm off to run my errasnds....AND I"LL SEE YOU AT THE CONVENTION!!!!!

DaemonForce · « **Reply #396 on:** April 21, 2011, 09:04:49 am »

I have a few loose ends to tie up here too. I'll be in Seattle later this afternoon but first I need to take care of my hair and shopping(why does this sound so girly? x_X). Also, my lotto ticket looks insane right now. This day is starting off to a ferociously strong start with a side of tiger blood and awesome. I look so androgynous right now, I should probably go get a haircut. Anyway this convention is going to rock. Weeee!

Zomg I hate FedEx once more. They lie about shipping charges, falsify updates and then they deliver to the wrong block. Well at least they tried. O_o

My group is going to be very happy. I have a very rare cider and very rare cake to give them. It's only right that I reward them for their hard work. <3
