Haley, I am going to cry when you wear Shoma and awkwardly dance around you as the robot. You are too awesome for doing the robot, seriously!
And as for cosplays, I think my list is pretty solid, so here you go!
Masako from Penduindrum, Jade from Homestuck, Doom's Bride from Catherine, and a secret cosplay. (:
And maybe another cosplay if my group of friends decides to do another group one!

OMG! I'll have a Penance (X-men) wig finally! That just may be in the cards for Sakuracon! (But more likely Kumoricon

)

I plan on doing female version of Hawke's mage outfit from Dragon Age 2, Sanada Yukimura from Sengoku Basara, Levy McGarden fom Fairy Tail, and something else I can't remember at the moment. I also want to try and get this years Sakura con mascot done. It's too cute not to do~ x3

I'm going to be bringing Aram. Slowly getting to work on him. I have the patterns cut! Yay!

Asdghjjhskjl. I have. No words.

So I'm pretty much guaranteed to be going, plus LSP/Mindfang found out she's got money for the train and my Adventure Time group may possibly have a Finn and a BMO. I'm getting really excited, considering how long it still is until the con.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #106 on:** December 27, 2011, 12:51:21 pm »

I'm starting to worry about whether or not I'll be able to go or not. My financial aid is being suspended because I got an Incomplete, which is being sorted out. I just hope that the damned Fin. Aid dept. realizes this and corrects things, so that I can still be a student, and therefore, be able to go.

Oh so that's what's going on with you, okay. I sent you a couple E-mails asking for your Skype address but didn't get a reply. Okay, do you want me to go on without you and get things set up for the panel or hold back untill things are settled financially with you?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #108 on:** December 27, 2011, 03:13:56 pm »

You did? I didn't see anything...

Animeman73 · « **Reply #109 on:** December 27, 2011, 05:26:00 pm »

Say what? Hmmm, I still have your E-mail adress. Let me try again.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #110 on:** December 27, 2011, 10:18:44 pm »

Okay, there it is. Response sent!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #111 on:** December 29, 2011, 09:51:10 am »

Ahhh, MOST EXCELLENT!!!! Thank you Washougal_Otaku.

And now the panel application form has been sent in. All that remains to do is wait for Sakuracon to decide what they will do. So I'm all set for Sakuracon and I'm a happy camper again.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #112 on:** December 29, 2011, 11:04:16 am »

Well, in terms of whether or not I'll be able to go, my application for financial aid repeal was submitted, and it should be looked at today; hopefully, it'll be reversed, and I'll get to attend school, and therefore go to Sakuracon.

@random · « **Reply #113 on:** December 29, 2011, 12:28:11 pm »

Good luck!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #114 on:** December 29, 2011, 01:26:43 pm »

Thanks! Assuming that it's being looked at, I should see whether or not I'm approved by the end of the day tomorrow. It might even be possible that it'll be ruled for or against me before it even gets to the committee. If that's the case, then (if I recall correctly) I should see the results come at the same time.

veraca · « **Reply #115 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:11:43 am »

Fin Aid repeals are a pain x.x It's good they're there, but sometimes I feel like the credit earned % rule is a little BS stupid

Animeman73 · « **Reply #116 on:** December 30, 2011, 05:49:13 pm »

Hey Washougal_Otaku I hope the whole financial aid thing has woorked out. Dear me, sorry for the delay. That was rather rude on my part. Forgive my momentary lapse in manners.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #117 on:** December 31, 2011, 09:30:22 pm »

That's okay. I haven't heard back from them, yet... (I'm kind of worried, now...)

Animeman73 · « **Reply #118 on:** January 02, 2012, 04:41:47 pm »

-Pats you oon the back.- When in doubt I remember something my wonderfully obnoxious stepfather always taught me. Worry about what you CAN do something about. Don't worry about what you CAN'T do anything about. If it's out of your hands now then well there's not much left you can do.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #119 on:** January 02, 2012, 07:48:08 pm »

Which is a problem, for many reasons.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #120 on:** January 03, 2012, 03:23:31 pm »

Well, if I do go, I just submitted a panel form for myself and my friend Cassie. We're wanting to do a comedy stand-up panel, like we've been doing at Kumoricon.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #121 on:** January 05, 2012, 10:07:42 pm »

UPDATE: So, tomorrow, Chan will be getting paid. I'll be taking at least one credit this quarter. I'm still fighting to get my fin. aid, but taking 1 credit is good enough for going. So, I'm in!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #122 on:** January 06, 2012, 06:40:00 pm »

You're in for Sakura-con? WONDERFUL!!!! If and when I hear the okay from the Sakuracon prograaming people I'll talk to you and our fellow co-host and we'll arrange a time on SKype when we can get together and talk. But I'm really glad you're going to Sakuracon Washougal. I could use all the help I can get.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #123 on:** January 07, 2012, 11:12:12 pm »

Awesome!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #124 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:46:56 pm »

WOO HOO!!! We have our list of attendees, and will being the paperwork for going to Sakuracon soon! I still have yet to hear back regarding the panel I submitted, too, but they told me about the middle of the month, so it could be another day or two, or maybe three, before I hear back from them.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #125 on:** January 16, 2012, 01:29:02 pm »

We figured out what train we're taking and the hotel we're staying in today! And I'm about 2/3 done with my cosplay!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #126 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:02:02 pm »

Which one? Maybe we could take the same one! (We're looking to head up there on Thursday).

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #127 on:** January 16, 2012, 10:21:37 pm »

We're going up Thursday too! The plan is to take the 14 Coast Starlight at 4:20, since it has to be after school.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #128 on:** January 17, 2012, 06:33:56 pm »

...oh, yeah; that makes sense. We were looking to be there by then... I'm thinking we're going to be taking the 506 Amtrak Cascades, which leaves Vancouver at 12:30.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #129 on:** January 17, 2012, 07:17:50 pm »

Okay, then I'll see you guys at the con.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #130 on:** January 17, 2012, 07:24:35 pm »

Okay. See ya there!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #131 on:** January 17, 2012, 07:26:15 pm »

So, I'm kinda excited, Luvan1me offered me a ticket and room *w* So I will be going!!!

Not totally sure who I'll be cosplaying yet...Probably Riku, Gaara and one or two others......

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #132 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:03:33 pm »

^ Sweet deal, neko! A free pass and room!

luvan1me · « **Reply #133 on:** January 17, 2012, 11:24:02 pm »

yup yup all thanks to her awesome friend dome *point to self* XDDD

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #134 on:** January 17, 2012, 11:26:48 pm »

I'm happy, and I think I've figured out who I'm being: Riku (KH2 default and Orgy), Gaara (Naruto: Ship), Death the Kid (Soul Eater), Steampunk Cheshire Cat (OC) and probably something more comfy for the evenings, maybe I'll get a kigurumi of some kind.

luvan1me · « **Reply #135 on:** January 17, 2012, 11:53:34 pm »

oooh yay! :DDD

sounds spectacular >W<

also! i have another secret cosplay XDD

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #136 on:** January 17, 2012, 11:57:20 pm »

Also, if Amanda and Aaron go as my Doormouse and March Hare, I may bring my Hatter cosplay as well.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #137 on:** January 18, 2012, 10:21:17 am »

^ Sweet!

For my cosplay options, I'll probably just do my Sailor Neptune again, but only if I'm able to get a new pair of gloves, first.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #138 on:** January 18, 2012, 04:03:12 pm »

I've started seriously working on Dolorosa, and Princess Bubblegum just needs knee socks and some red ribbon for laces. Now I'm just pestering everyone I know to see if they need a room, we're still looking for a fourth to cut down on cost.

Spontaneous · « **Reply #139 on:** January 18, 2012, 04:14:11 pm »

Soooo my two other friends and I are planning on going to Sakuracon for our first time this year; does anyone have any helpful input in regards to the hotels around there? Or if you've stayed at a hotel there could you tell me what you liked or disliked about it?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #140 on:** January 18, 2012, 09:06:15 pm »

If you use the hotels listed on the Sakuracon website, Crowne Plaza is one of their cheaper options, and it's only 3 blocks away. That's the one I'm going to recommend to my club, since their rates are all $143 per room of any size 1-4.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #141 on:** January 18, 2012, 09:29:24 pm »

Wondering...is anybody driving there and back that I could carpool with? That's the only thing I need, is the ride......

snafu · « **Reply #142 on:** January 19, 2012, 09:24:02 am »

I'll be attending for what might be my last SakuraCon (depending on career options post-graduation), and so I'm going to be a bit crazy and do three crossplays. Currently I've got Erica Fontaine (Sakura Taisen 3 AKA Sakura Wars 3) finished, Athena Asamiya (King of Fighters XII/XIII) 90% finished and Saeko Busujima (Highschool of the Dead) about 10% ready. Depending on if I'm in a skit or not, I may also do either a China (Hetalia) or bring my North Korea (Hetalia) out of retirement as well. That said I've got skirts for all three days...

And I'd offer a ride up to Seattle from the Portland area, but I'm taking Greyhound most likely to save money on gas.

Hope I'm not jumping in on a pre-existing convo but: Unless you absolutely have to, DON'T TAKE THE GREYHOUND TO SEATTLE. My boyfriend and I took it there and back for last year's Sakuracon, and it was AWFUL. The trip up there was fine, don't get me wrong, but oh my GOD, the Seattle Greyhound station was an absolute nightmare. I can get into details if people want, but suffice to say they were incompetent, rude, and downright sketchy. We've both ridden Greyhound a ton, but last year's experience was so incredibly terrible we'll probably never do it again.

>-> kristi... do you want me to buy you your ticket for the train?

you can pay half of it if you have enough? just $50 since i'm taking first class. up to you!

shipop · « **Reply #145 on:** January 20, 2012, 12:24:16 am »

Considering I'll be saving money to move into an apartment in April, it's still up in the air if I'll able to go. But, if I can! My sister and I are dressing as Thor and Loki and plan to try and set up a little Scandinavian dancing tutorial in the plaza sometime on the first day. We don't know how we'd bring any music, but we know a lot of dances and steps and things. Plus, people would get to dance with Thor and Loki, haha~ (And, if anybody comes dressed as Sif, I will legit buy you like, a coffee or a treat or something because I want a Sif SO BAD)

I'm also hoping to join the cosplay contest for the first time! ;;v;; But I'll have to see~

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #146 on:** January 20, 2012, 09:38:45 am »

I'm hopefulling going this year. (=
I'll be bringing Pinkie Pie, Rose, Mion, and either Stocking or Zelda. (=

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #147 on:** January 20, 2012, 02:50:32 pm »

I got a fourth roommate! And it's looking like Ancestors will be postponed until Kumoricon because we need the money that was going towards them to pay for hotel rooms. Our Adventure Time group is still on, though.

Actually, I have had a similar experience with their poor customer service "skills" from the last time I went to Sakura-con. I'm still doing it, though, because I'm going with my club.

veraca · « **Reply #149 on:** January 21, 2012, 03:46:21 am »

I'm actually considering not cosplaying this year. Or just wearing my old Aqua... Or Roxas in the schoolgirl outfit... *snickers and dies of stupidity*
Mostly cause all my pals who'd attend with me are broke/busy or saving for other things- like a trip to Ireland and San Diego Comic Con. My roommate's going though, so I might have someone to bug a few times during the con.

I'll be stuck people watching and stuff, so I'm not sure what I'll do or who I'll cosplay. I have cosplays lined up to wear if I change my mind. Right now I'm looking at being extremely wallflower-shy mode. *hangs head* It's amazing how shy an introvert becomes when NONE of her friends are coming! All the extrovert goes FWIP! Flying right out the window.
