I'd like to recommend Saturday afternoon-early evening (12-7 somewhere).

As for confirming, I'm still doing it, but there's a SLIGHT chance that I'll be going as someone other than Lina. If it won't be her, it'll be Sailor Neptune. I saw Joe, the guy who said he'll possibly go as Sailor Saturn, earlier today. I think he's still on campus somewhere, so I'll try to ask him and have a response for you today.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #151 on:** April 28, 2011, 01:17:24 pm »

Yeah...I was thinking putting two of my three as one for sat and one for sun.

That's fine if you need to change. I just have characters up there so we don't have the same person.

Thanks! And don't be shy about recruiting other people, too!! ^^

When are opening ceremonies normally...?
and when does Reg close on Sat?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #152 on:** April 28, 2011, 01:29:54 pm »

I want to say that Opening Ceremonies close at 11, but I have a feeling that this is wrong; I honestly don't remember. As for Registration, I'd recommend talking to pyronine; he's the one that's in charge of registration. There's also here: http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=13835.0 that you can post questions in.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #153 on:** April 28, 2011, 01:36:40 pm »

Thanks. I'm trying to weed out as many issues as I can at the start of this so i can dwindle it down to time frames.

I don't think anything else big goes on during Day 1, correct?
If so... I'll probably set times on that day for later such as 5-10. Maybe aiming for 7ish?

Day 2 has the masquerade and cosplay contests, right?
And they start around...5ish...? Maybe...?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #154 on:** April 28, 2011, 02:11:43 pm »

The cosplay contest is on Sunday, but I'm not sure on the Masquerade Ball; I think that varies year-by-year. I know that one of my panels has been requested for Saturday, but I don't remember the time. I did include to have it not occur during the pageant, though, so I think that'll be okay.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #155 on:** April 28, 2011, 02:20:26 pm »

And skits are after cosplay, right?
Do you know what time the cosplay contest starts?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #156 on:** April 28, 2011, 04:02:24 pm »

Yes, skits come after cosplay. I don't remember when it started in '09. Runa is the one that runs these events, so she'd be the person to ask. I don't know how often she's on the forums anymore. I can send an e-mail to her husband in case she doesn't respond to you, if need be.

Oh, I just talked with Joe Hardin. He reluctantly has to withdraw from the competition. There's things going on in his personal life this late-Summer/early-Fall that require his attention. He sends his apologies.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #157 on:** April 28, 2011, 04:07:40 pm »

Alright. I guess around 5ish is when they would start or later...
So I'll just put times before then...

It's okay. Thanks for talking with him.
We need three more people who are going to confirm before I send this form in...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #158 on:** April 28, 2011, 04:30:46 pm »

Perhaps one of us ought to send PM's to the other three candidates...

I can ask some clubs here at Clark's campus to see if any of their males are planning on going to the con, and if they'd be willing to do this. I can think of four clubs that might have at least one possible entry...

Oh, I forgot. Chan_Highwind said that you can confirm her as a judge. She is still unsure on what her cosplay will be, though...

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #159 on:** April 28, 2011, 04:40:51 pm »

Way ahead of you kinda. ;P
I sent facebook messages to Tofu and Koga.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #160 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:00:04 pm »

I'll be a fill in for a judge, since they're already filled.

And I might be able to do a guest thing...

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #161 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:02:01 pm »

Sweet, thanks Neko.

I need judges to confirm though or they are out. XP
Also, I'm trying to get Griff to be a contestant so you might replace him. >.>

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #162 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:03:34 pm »

It sounds like anime_gurl_123 is planning on coming to the con this year. I talk to her from time to time on Skype. I can see if she'd be up for being one of the special guest performers, if you'd like.

What about Maiku? Have you tried to reach him, yet?

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #163 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:06:44 pm »

Who...?

I haven't yet but I gave him a small glance and he doesn't seem like an active member of the forums with like...26 posts or something so I don't think he's really in or anything... :/

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #164 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:11:24 pm »

She's also known as ichigoxcupcakes. Her real name is Natalie Hoover. She's got an area in the threads where she posts some of her music; it's quite nice. (Sorry, forgot to supply the link: http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=14772.0 ).

Well, I do intend to talk to two of the four clubs tomorrow, since they both have their meetings on Fridays. Another one is on Saturday. I'm not sure on the fourth, but the president of the Saturday club has the number for the president of the fourth club. I should be able to get a hold of that club relatively easy.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #165 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:16:45 pm »

I can totally do a joke.....All my friends say I look like Adam Lambert, so I could totally show up as him XD and then even do a song.

Two in one!

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #166 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:55:53 pm »

Griff agreed to be a part of this so I can get numbers!

Another friend said he would do it, too! ^^

AND Tofu confirmed!

So I have five people confirmed!

Now just to finish on deciding times and I'm sending this baby in!

Kristi - You will be replacing Ted as a judge. ^^

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #167 on:** April 28, 2011, 05:58:31 pm »

Awesome! I assume that you'd still like me to talk to the clubs, correct?

If I recall correctly, you said that you're planning on having this be one hour, right? How about 2?

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #168 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:06:27 pm »

Yes, please do! ^^ The more the merrier!

As for timing...should I go longer? I have 15 min set up, 15 take down, and 1 hour for the panel.

Opening - 3
Interview - 10
Guest - 3
Talent - 10
Guest - 3
Swim - 10 [less than this for five people]
Guest - 3
Formal - 10
Guest - 5
Winner - 3

This adds up to 60 minutes.
For five people it would be two minutes each event. (Swim would only last three minutes probably.)
Ten people would have one minute each event.

You have three minutes to change costumes and I have five minutes to tally up all the results.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #169 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:16:37 pm »

Well, how about an hour & a half? I'm mainly thinking about the possibility of mistakes, delays, or possibly an extra contestant or two. Also, I would think that set-up (especially) and tear-down would need more than 15 minutes each.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #170 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:29:19 pm »

Set up is just testing sound and making sure CDs work. It doesn't really need that much unless we are setting up chairs and stuff.

We will all meet at some point when we all have time to work together. (I was hoping Day 0 if we are all there.)
We won't be on stage but that isn't too big of an issue.

Tear down is just making sure everything is cleaned up. Again, unless we are working with chairs and if we have to have them all set up ourselves. This is why I sent a PM to Jamiche to talk with her about all of this.

Even with extra contestants an hour is fine. I don't think we will get over ten. And if I extend it and we don't get over ten, it will be way too long.
I am going to cut it off at only ten people because of this which will decrease times to one minute each if we get all ten.
Swimming will only be a maximum of five minutes and the other five will be tossed into talent for 15 minutes. Giving 3 minutes for five people and 1.5 for ten.

Mistakes are why we practice. If you screw up on your talent, you can't start over. It's too time consuming and not fair for everyone.
I also don't want the audience to get bored.

So the only concern I have with timing is with set up and take down which I'm discussing with Jamiche before I make an exact time.
I just wanted to make sure you could all do everything in 2-3 minutes time. If everyone can't, then I will extend it a bit or move numbers around to make it all work.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #171 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:32:54 pm »

Well, we probably will be needing some chairs & tables for the judges at least, won't we?

Day 0 will be kind of tough for me. I've agreed to help out the registration table on Day 0 again this year.

Yeah, tear-downs are usually quicker than set-ups.

Okay, fair enough...

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #172 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:35:56 pm »

Yes, I have tables and chairs in my requests on the form.

It would probably be after reg on Day 0 since we would all be in that line.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #173 on:** April 28, 2011, 06:36:27 pm »

Okay then. That should be fine for me.

StarryShay · « **Reply #174 on:** April 28, 2011, 08:23:06 pm »

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN HELP?

I like to help...

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #175 on:** April 28, 2011, 08:43:04 pm »

I'm sure there is!

Here is a list of things we need and stuff needed done.
Don't be afraid to volunteer yourself for anything!
And if you have skills to offer not listed, don't be afraid to suggest something as well. Any help from Shay is amazing help~<3

- Sashes made
- Umbrella made
- Donations collected
- Gift baskets made
- Photographers
- Guest performances
- Backstage Dressers (To help the boys change and keep their wigs nice)
- Advertisers (Shameless advertising ftw!)

StarryShay · « **Reply #176 on:** April 28, 2011, 09:01:09 pm »

Does donations collected mean walking around with a bucket and getting money or something?
Because I think if I was dressed as Spiral-Nia...I could maybe do that~
ADVERTISING TOO.
I LOVE RUNNING AROUND AND SCREAMING WITH SIGNS.

And I can help with the backstage stuff tooooooo~

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #177 on:** April 28, 2011, 09:13:38 pm »

That and finding people ahead of time to donate some items for the gift baskets so we have them for the winners.
I want to get at least three gift baskets...
One for winner, one for Miss Congeniality, and one for a drawing/door prize during the pageant.

Like the people in the Manga Swap Meet who want to get rid of some of their items they can't sell...they can donate those to be in the gift baskets.
You don't have to collect all of the items from people cause I'll probably gather them all at the con itself so it's less of a hassle.

StarryShay · « **Reply #178 on:** April 28, 2011, 09:19:08 pm »

What kind of items?

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #179 on:** April 28, 2011, 09:28:24 pm »

Any really. Anime (Starting at 1), Manga (Starting at 1), Figures, Ramune, Pocky, Art, CDs, Wigs...anything. Donations are donations.
We'll even take monetary to buy/pay for supplies like the sashes and umbrellas.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #180 on:** April 28, 2011, 10:10:33 pm »

Ok! Put me as confirmed for a judge.
Not sure if I'll actually be Adam....

And you can put me as a maybe for a preformance.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #181 on:** April 28, 2011, 10:35:19 pm »

Thanks Kristi!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #182 on:** April 28, 2011, 10:39:16 pm »

And we should ask Tom if he wants to be a photographer.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #183 on:** April 28, 2011, 10:54:32 pm »

Yeah but I don't know how to get into contact with him. :/
I haven't seen him around the forums much.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #184 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:10:13 pm »

Facebook.

And I decided if I do a "guest" thing, I'll do 'For Your Entertainment' as Adam Lambert.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #185 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:10:33 pm »

Don't have his.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #186 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:12:48 pm »

Just type in Tom Good. You'll find him.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #187 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:15:33 pm »

OH! THAT Tom! XD
Yeah, I have him.
I thought you meant Fanboy.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #188 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:16:17 pm »

lol
Forgot there were many known Toms >>

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #189 on:** April 28, 2011, 11:31:34 pm »

Yeah, it's a popular name.

I'm still trying to decide what I should do for my own cosplay for this.
Do I make something special for it or do I just do Sasuko or Umbreon?

Maiku · « **Reply #190 on:** April 29, 2011, 12:41:28 am »

Checking In! I am still very interested.

I'm talking to my roommate and seeing if he will join me in this adventure, so might have one more contestant if that need is still there.

I just started sewing my interview outfit, which also converts into my swimwear. The formal is planned out, and I'll pick up material next coupon day at Joanns. I'll get pictures as soon as I can, at least of the in progress works.

Talent is undecided, but I'm narrowing it down. I can send you a PM if you want the full details boss.

When do you need the Times by, I'm trying to design them for quick change but won't know until they are near completion.

I can probably assist in either materials, money, or sewing work if need as well, in regards to donations.

Maiku

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #191 on:** April 29, 2011, 01:46:14 pm »

Good to hear! I hadn't seen you around much so I thought you had forgotten about the forums.

I'm excited to see your outfits!
If you need to chat about anything, send me a PM and I can help out.

Times ASAP! Do you think you can change in about 5 minutes?
Cause you'll have by the time you get off until your next time up. You will all always be in the same order that is chosen and you will also have 3 more minutes with the guests in between the events. So even if you are the last person to go (with six people) you would have around 8 minutes to change. (3 event + 1min per person on stage [5])

Any way you want to assist is greatly appreciated! Just speak up on what you wish to help with! ^^

Between the two, I'd say Umbreon. However, if you can, I'd say go as a male character, perhaps one that "likes" the ladies...? Miroku from InuYasha, Jiraiya from Naruto, Happosai or Kuno from Ranma 1/2, Master Roshi (or whatever) from DragonBall, Mr. Kimura from Azumanga Daioh, ...I think I'll stop here.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #193 on:** April 29, 2011, 02:34:58 pm »

I cannot physically crossplay completely for medical reasons.
I have some males I do but they wear baggy clothing. I am only doing a guy this year for Molly and the coat covers my chest cause it's baggy.

But yeah...I can't wear a binder or anything cause of my lungs. I breath at not even half the rate of a normal person so I can't have any compression on my chest or I can't breath at all.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #194 on:** April 29, 2011, 02:36:32 pm »

Oh... that sucks, but it makes sense. In that case, I recommend going with Umbreon.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #195 on:** April 29, 2011, 03:45:58 pm »

I am still thinking of the second item given to Miss Congeniality and the Runner Up...

So here are some ideas...

Gift Basket
Ramune/Pocky Bouquet
Cloud Plushie (Like the clouds in the sky.)
Mascot Plushie
Umbrella plushie

And for a door prize I'm thinking of doing something like this...
A gift basket & Photoshoot with Miss Kumo 2011.

CONTESTANTS!!:
How many of you will have their original cosplay with you?

Pretty much she wants to know if contestants will have a default outfit of their character.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #199 on:** April 29, 2011, 04:02:44 pm »

Default is even more

to me. I'll say this about my plans: I plan on using the basic costume idea of my character, be it Lina or if I go with Sailor Neptune. It will not be a modified version, or anything like that. I plan on that being what I wear at the start of the event and at the end. Is that what's being implied?
