[CosplayGeek4]

So this is my first time at kumoricon and i have a question. what is day 0? is it the 3rd? i get confused realy easily so can someone please explain what days are on what dates? ( I know the main dates are the 3rd,4th, and 5th of Sep) Thanks~!

At first, I was confused on what day 0 was too. ^^;
Day 0 is the Friday before the con starts. Friday September 2nd. Its a day that some people get set in their hotels and hang out around the con space, waiting for the festivities to start!

If you have pre-registered you can pick up your badge day 0 and thus not have to wait in line while actual events are going on Day 1. There are also a bunch of parties day 0. Looks like there are two pre-con parties (one in Vancouver and one in Portland) as well as smaller personal parties. Lots of people cosplay and lost of people do a casual cosplay version of an outfit.

[CosplayGeek4]

Also, is it at the hotels? or is it somewhere else? Sorry im a newbie!

[nikkiolie]

It will be at the hotels. Pre-reg pick up will be in the garage of the Hilton (as well all reg if I am not mistaken)

Im so glad i found this thread lol i just asked what day zero was. So, by garage, do you mean where the dealer room was in 2007?  And will the parties be at the hilton or the red lion? Also! Anyone up for a day zero hotel swim jam? I wont be staying at the hotel cuz i live kinda close, but i hear its gonna be hella hot that weekend

[nikkiolie]

Yeah where the dealers hall is. No the official parties wont be in the hilton. I beleive the topics are under mini events but I am not sure. They are going to be at a club or something like that. I know I am going to stop by the pool with my friends day 0

[TalaRedWolf33]

Thank you. What time does day 0 start? I mean, when should you get there to pick up your badge?

[nikkiolie]

Staff has not posted times yet. They will probably tell the times when the schedule is out.

For the pre-party you can find info here http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=15788.0

I think you're correct on that.

That is what they told me(reg staff) and if its anything like Sakuracon they'll start at 2 or 3 on day 0.  Let us all have a most excellent con!!

I really liked where they had reg in 07 (the lobby of the Hilton) because you could go up on the second floor and just watch people reg (I really enjoy people watching and looking at the costumes, and walking up and down the reg line) but I think the garage will be better in the long run, although probably hotter. :/
