Mewcon - new Year eve convention

[oslapedo]

IT'LL BE LIKE EVERYTHING WE'VE EVER IMAGINED... ONLY REAL.

[Classy Viking]

YOU MEAN THERE WILL BE A DOUBLE RAINBOW.

[RemSaverem]

As soon as I see how everything goes at Orycon I'll know what I want to do for MEW :-D

[legoman60]

WELL THE VILLAGE I OWN IN NIGERIA ISN'T PRODUCING THE DIAMONDS NOR THE TEXTILES, THOSE ARE BOTH THE PRODUCTS I USED TO FUND MY COSTUME ACCOUNTS. ALAS I HAVE SENT A CRACK TEAM OF MERCENARIES TO WORK AS PRODUCTIVITY MANAGERS.

[fleur_fraise]

Okay man but let me know if you want to commission anything, I'm tight for money too.

[Classy Viking]

Word.

DIS CON.

It's going to be EPIC. OHMAN.

I just fear for what's going to happen now that it's 17+. :B I got hit on in the 18+ panel bad enough as it was. (Though I was highly amused)

[nyahaha]

Everyone buy stuff from nyahaha, Hazuza, and me! We'll be in Artist Alley!

yes, buy from ussss

FFFFFFFFF

I am also anxious about the new hotel, the last one was so perfect, especially the lobby.

[legoman60]

I am also anxious about the new hotel, the last one was so perfect, especially the lobby.

Go see the Sheraton (sp?) by the airport. The lobby is a little more cramped but we also have a large hallway to act as a second lobby. Overall there is much more space for just hanging out (not as much as Sakuracon, but it wont feel like sardines like the Hilton downtown).



The con is taking place (mostly) in the areas that are shaded and named (shading+name=conspace). The layout isn't final (actually this is an old map, some things have gotten moved) but the rooms we have are. Overall I think it is a net increase of unstructured space.

Because I know people will ask: the bar is 21+ and you can hold a panel at the pool (unless something has changed since we last discussed it).

On a side note, I'm looking for a few people with equipment to run RockBand or a full set of RockBand instruments (guitar, bass, drums, and a mic) for gaming. If someone would be willing to loan said equipment to us for the duration of the con I would be willing to give that person a badge.

[Bresslol]

Lego:

I'm bringing a larger game library, and a couple of consoles. I'll see if I have room for some RB gear.

[nikkiolie]

Its getting closer to con so I am trying to get more people to sign up for cosplay chess. If you are interested in signing up please fill out this and email it to me at mulholln@gmail.com by December 1st, please include a picture of your cosplay, a complete picture. If you do not have a picture yet but will get one soon that is fine just let me know. I only have one person signed up right now and if it stays that way till December I may have to cancel the panel :<

^ THIS. I'm curious about the new hotel as well. I think mixing things up with a new hotel will be a nice change, although I will miss the Red Lion. The Sheraton looks really nice though! I'm excited to see how things go.

[legoman60]

Thanks Bressler, you rock.

[RemSaverem]

Orycon Creation Station had such an amazing time, many of us are even more excited now for MEW Con. I love merging the anime/manga and sci-fi/fantasy milieux. Going to try to check in with Andie directly some time this week re: what's available panel-slot wise. Tons of ideas. Our Tiptoe Through the TARDIS: Doctor Who Fandom Celebration was standing-room-only, and several of us, both panelists and attendees and an adorable, petite Rose cosplayer (from "The Doctor Dances", an all-time favorite of mine; I love me some 9/Rose/Jack), hope I'll get to run one at MEW as well.
I'm also going to submit my idea for "Whedon-Verse"--a fandom celebration of all things Joss has ever touched, with attendees encouraged to read their fanfics and sing their filks.
How do these sound to folks? I am so excited!!

[Washougal_Otaku]

Everyone buy stuff from nyahaha, Hazuza, and me! We'll be in Artist Alley!

Artist Alley, huh?  What kind of stuff will you be selling?

[nyahaha]

I'm selling crocheted amigurumi (cute animals) and some small keychains, and hair ties with bows on them. I might also do crocheted hats with ears on them, but not sure on that one yet.

[Washougal_Otaku]

Hmm... I might drop by, then, perhaps even use something for the "Miss" Kumoricon pageant...

[nyahaha]

sweetness. Maybe see you there then...

[Washougal_Otaku]

Maybe!

[nekovamp13]

I'm loving the idea of the Joss panel <3
Makes me want to cosplay Mal...

[RemSaverem]

AWESOME! Please do. Oh, and I'm also considering holding "Auditions for the Evil League of Evil" as part of the Whedon-Verse panel.

[nekovamp13]

lol
I think I might now. Since I wont be anywhere near done with my Steampunk Cheshire Cat...

I wonder if I can get two of my friends to go to Mew...They've cosplayed Kalie and River.

[luvan1me]

and Hm, maybe I could get Radien to MEW after all...he loves Clue.

[luvan1me]

[nekovamp13]

So my final list for Mew....we'll sorta final...Anywho:
Kaito (Vocaloid), Tristen (YGO), Kio (Loveless), and Riku (KH2)

Mainly I'm just figuring out what days I'm wearing them on.

[fleur_fraise]

So pumped for this con, but I still gotta make stuff for AA D8

[SoraKitsune]

Ive got to make it to the meeting but Ive got allot on my plate lol. Im planning four panels, three MSA ones and then a Hetalia one. Ive gotten swept up in that one I should have my cosplay for it before Mew since it will be my Christmas present.

[Chan_Highwind]

Washougal and I are still talking about what we're going to do for Mewcon like are we getting a hotel room or taking the buses back and forth each day.

[Washougal_Otaku]

Yeah... I'm up for the traveling, myself.  This is mainly because I'm not getting that good of a paycheck this month.  (Part-time union positions suck in some ways).

[RemSaverem]

Washougal and I are still talking about what we're going to do for Mewcon like are we getting a hotel room or taking the buses back and forth each day.

You might have to look into whether any public transit runs different hours for the holidays of 12/31 & 1/1.

[Washougal_Otaku]

I didn't even think of that...

They go by Sunday schedules on New Year's Day every year; New Year's Eve is determined on a year-by-year basis.  According to their website, it too will be going on Sunday schedules.  That still won't matter to me that much, but it will for her... (blast).  I'm thinking that she's right...

[legoman60]

The max red line runs to within walking distance if that is any help.

[Washougal_Otaku]

Not really... we're looking at what'll happen with C-Tran services, since she and I live in Vancouver.  Thanks, though, legoman.

[DaemonForce]

I want to go to this but for once I want to be in a group from start to finish. It will give me an idea as to what I can expect at Sakura '11. It just isn't any fun trying to balance out what I want to buy/see in a convention against really absurd hotel taxes and bad food. I'm trying to put together a party so that we can sustain each other but either most of the people going have either gotten their plans figured out or they're too socially retarded to PM anything and hence, aren't willing to say anything. Last week I realized that most of the people that go to it are usually from Kumoricon so I figure I have a better chance of finding people on this board. Really sad I know but looking at MEW's lack of activity it can't be helped. :/

I like how there doesn't really seem to be a lot of planning. Events are scarce enough that I have time to make friends. I've been to AX twice(just registered a few hours ago for '11), went to Akicon a few weeks ago and finally wore a costume! Weeeee! <3

Now I'm staring at either another flood with nothing to do here or a New Year party in Portland where I can actually meet people.

.......

I'd love to go but unless someone can coordinate a room and they're not completely disgusted by my amount of resources I might as well forget about it. Since I struck a deal with one of my pro tailors, I'm trying to push a really inexpensive costume to someone lucky before my contract dies. So I have all kinds of rollercoasters of fun on my mind right now and no one seems to want any part of it.

[~boogiepop~]

Looks like I'm going to go chill in the MEWcon lobby for half a day with some of my bros.
I'll probably wear Ramona from the Scott Pilgrim game for giggles.

[RemSaverem]

Scott Pilgrim rules.

[BangBangNeko]

Hey everyone I’m quite excited for this years M.E.Wcon and I’m almost done with the main events schedule so you should be seeing it in it in this upcoming week or next week. But I had a question for all you costumers and cosplayers!

Do you have a sexy performance you've been dying to do? Or want to do one? Then here is your chance!! We've planned some half time shows during the dance and other events to put on a cabaret style show and were looking for some cosplayers that would love to go on stage and perform.

What are the guidelines?
*Can be any kind of costume (cross dressing, fursuit, burlesque, sci-fi, steampunk, anime, video games, etc.) There's no limit or restriction on what the costume can be. All we ask is that there is no full nudity. We don't mind if you do something like a skin tone bodysuit to give off the illusion of being naked but at least but some designs or lace on the suit.
Like this:
*Performances can be from 30 secs to 5 mins.

So if you'd like to do something please email me at: bangbangneko@yahoo.com and we can put you in. And thank you everyone for your support for this con and I really hope everyone has a great time and I can make the main events a great show.
