There is a possibility I can bring a rug. I'll see what I can swipe from my house.
Also, is there a table there that I can cover with a cloth or something?

I didn't see a table there. I'll try to bring a folding table that we can set up

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #201 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:14:15 pm »

I got swords and guns

Who is everyone dressing up as? I'm wondering so I can know what kind of stuff to bring.

If anyone has swords, I'd love to use them ^^
And maybe guns (fake of course) as well.

What kind of sword? I have a thin pirate sword that I bought from a costume store...

Alright thanks.

Any requests for a certain type of table cloth thing? I'm just going to bring large fabric peices unless I can find good table cloths. or a sheet or something.

I'm going to be Joker Miku.

Also, I might be able to bring cool candle holders and candles. Anybody interested? I don't think I could light them though...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #203 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:29:04 pm »

I'm doing my original Steampunk Cheshire Cat, who is an assassin who specializes in swords. And there are others doing Steampunk, which is why I wanted the guns as well.

Also bringing Kaito.

And sword wise, I think anykind is good. But any that look more fancy would be great ^^

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #204 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:42:39 pm »

Oh Haley please bring those!

I'm going to be Dark Woods Circus Meiko.

Speaking of candles, I have two small flameless candles that light up with batteries, so I'll bring those.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #205 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:54:26 pm »

I think I have some of those candles as well, so I'll bring those too.

Sweet! I'll see how many candle holders I can scrounge from around the house.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #207 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:35:22 pm »

And I won't break them this time :D

nyahaha · « **Reply #208 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:38:16 pm »

Yes, please don't. But I'm not going to bring those ones. I'm bringing different ones. Like mantles and tall stick candles.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #209 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:45:11 pm »

Hnnng that sounds so awesome!

ironmonkey · « **Reply #210 on:** January 10, 2011, 09:51:21 pm »

Please no real flames, but do bring the electric candles

About contributing money . . . I really appreciate that people are willing to chip in towards this, I think that's great. But it turns out it's no longer necessary for this event. In a weird coincidence, a company that made a mistake in their records quite a while ago wrote me today, saying that they figured out that actually they owe me money and they're going to send it to me, and the amount is enough to cover all the costs of this photo shoot. For this to happen unexpectedly and so soon before the shoot seems like a "sign" (poetically, at least). So I don't want anyone to pay anything, please just show up and have fun. Take the money you would have contributed to this and use it towards your next Kumoricon badge or something like that.

Tom

oh wow ._. and i was about to post saying that i can't pay cuz of my own error of bank acc funds ._.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #212 on:** January 10, 2011, 10:55:53 pm »

That's awesome Tom!
It totally is a sign ^^

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #213 on:** January 11, 2011, 07:06:09 am »

That is pretty interesting. It probably a sign, or maybe the cosplay gods are being kind to us

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #214 on:** January 11, 2011, 03:29:00 pm »

Also Kristi since I'm going to be late I was wondering if I could leave the props at your house the night before and bring them to the shoot at noon so you guys will have them and you don't have to wait.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #215 on:** January 12, 2011, 03:33:24 pm »

So I found out I can't go. ):
Ted can't get off work and I have no other way to get there. He's been bugging his boss for me this whole time but no luck. Sadness...

Will you be at SakuraCon?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #216 on:** January 12, 2011, 05:38:33 pm »

I talked with zoe, she can come and she's going as Spitfire from Air Gear.
We're working on her jacket right now...SO MUCH FUR!!!

Sorry you can't make it. I want to go to Sakuracon and I'm working on trying to make that happen, but I'm not 100% sure yet whether I'll be there. I hope I can go to it and see you there.

If I do go to Sakuracon, I'm going to cosplay as Alan Wake (from the video game) and it will be my first cosplay.

*Thumbs up*

Props man, that was a damn good game.

EDIT: Also looks like I will be cosplaying as Genderbend Lucas Lee thanks to Katie letting me borrow her wig.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #219 on:** January 12, 2011, 08:00:18 pm »

Aw man I haven't played that but I really want to.

Also the plan is all good for Haley, Ali, and myself. We should be getting there around noon!

ironmonkey · « **Reply #220 on:** January 12, 2011, 08:55:27 pm »

Two off topic things:

1. Alan Wake is a really fun game, well worth playing. The gameplay is somewhat generic but the story is great, and the concert stage scene is really epic (can't really say more without spoilers).

2. It's so funny to try to explain the concept of a cosplay photo shoot to someone who has never heard of any of this. Conversation tonight with a friend:

Her: So, these random people, they make costumes . . .

Me: well, yes

Her: of things they have seen in cartoons or something . . .

Me: well, yes, basically

Her: and then they all meet up

Me: exactly

Her: and take photos of this

Me: yes, exactly

Her: and that's it?

Me: Yes

Her: [really, really long awkward pause. She gives me the biggest WTF look ever, like she was about to say "come on, tell me what it *really* is," but thought better of it.] . . . You know how weird that sounds to a normal person like me. . .

Me: No, I actually don't see what's so weird about it. It's being creative, like any other hobby like painting or knitting or whatever.

luvan1me · « **Reply #221 on:** January 12, 2011, 09:08:05 pm »

tell that to MY parents and any NONE SUPPORTIVE PARENT/FRIEND/NEIGHBOR/EMPLOYER out there -.-

ironmonkey · « **Reply #222 on:** January 13, 2011, 06:51:31 pm »

For Saturday, if you haven't been to the Profile Theatre before, it is right next door to a place called the Tao of Tea. If you're coming in from the Belmont street side, you go in through some double doors into a lobby area. Go straight ahead and you will see another set of glass doors straight across at the other end of the lobby. Go through those doors and immediately turn left. Walk to the end of the hallway and turn right. Follow the hallway to the end and turn right again, and you will be at the entrance to the theater area.

There is also a back door on the opposite side of the building from the Belmont street entrance, and it is actually much closer to the main theater area, but it is usually locked and you can only go out, not in. But at the beginning I'll probably be over there bringing the photo gear into the theater, so we may have that door open too for a little while.

The Google Street View of it has a picture that is a little out of date, I remember it looking a bit different from this, but it will give you the basic idea of what to look for: http://bit.ly/fjWX4Q

That's a good idea. Gaming after.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #225 on:** January 13, 2011, 09:23:05 pm »

Hahaha I might be in, but I'd feel kind of silly walking around in my costume

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #226 on:** January 13, 2011, 09:25:41 pm »

My parents really support me, and so does my grandma.
Gaming does sound fun, How many Nickles can you get from 5 bucks?
You could change out of it,
I think it would be fun to go to the arcade in cosplay

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #227 on:** January 14, 2011, 01:39:20 am »

Very excited for this ^^
Finishing my outfit right now, and hopefully getting what I need to make my claws and tail tomorrow! (Totally not procrastinating >>)

And Wrath...I guess...How late are you showing up?

And I might be leaving early. Mom wants to take me out to lunch, but can't do it before noon...But I don't know yet...

Doe, you wanna meet up so we can go together? Please!

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #228 on:** January 14, 2011, 07:26:35 am »

Probably not that late, I believe my parents have a show tonight
Around 5 maybe?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #229 on:** January 14, 2011, 03:04:46 pm »

hey Kristi my mom may not be able to drive me out to Beaverton, could you maybe come over? I could send you my adress

@saki: you can still go

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #235 on:** January 14, 2011, 08:39:53 pm »

Is it ok if I bring two friends with me? They aren't going to be cosplaying but they are my bus buddies so I don't get lost on my way there, haha.

Also still planning on bringing a cosplay now. I just have to wash the pants and shirt for it. I went about bought fake cigarettes so I will have 3 props now.

I'm going to be DWC Kaito instead of Joker Miku. Better picture opportunities I think.

So, I have the sword (somebody wanted it), I have 3 candle holders, one has a candle, but I don't know if I can find other candles, I found a fake bloody arm, and I grabbed a string of light (I think they are purple.). I don't know if I can grab any table cloths, so if anybody can bring some that would be great. Were there any other props I was supposed to look for?

And does anybody has a silver platter looking thing, or just a plate or something I can put the arm on?
