Kingdom Hearts 0'8

[Invader spleen]

Well my mom should learn them. >.>

[Sayda]

They save you a lot of time, that's for sure. There's another way to get into Mac from Newberg without going through Dundee, but I don't know that one too well.
The other two short cuts when traffic's backed up clear to Newberg are nice, but they lead you into Dundee, and you still have to deal with traffic, unless you go through the neighborhoods and come out around 10th st.

[Invader spleen]

I'll just tell her to look for other ways out. Lol

[veraca]

^^; The beach is a 5 min walk for me hehe...


  Hrm no wig yet.. Asked the seller if they sent it a week ago earlier..... Starting to get paranoidly worried if they don't answer by wednesday. They WERE so instant in replies and now nothing.

  I'll be beyond peeved getting jacket outta 40$ that I could've spent on gas/alarm clock/con suveniours.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Narg, if my shoes don't show up in the next week small children will be maimed and Cosworx will have action taken against it. I need those boots for my Org uniform!

[Invader spleen]

I hope they get there soon. XD

[veraca]

Good to know I'm not the only one cursing shipping..... Mine was supposed to be Priority which is at most 3 days.

I wonder if you can report an eBay user for taking your money and not giving the item you've paid for?

[Sayda]

I think you can do that. If they aren't shipping what you paid for, then you either need to contact them, and be thorough and perhaps even a little rude (but mature about it), and if they don't reply back with information on your item, then you should definitely contact someone, and give the seller a negative review. Always be sure to check their feedback before you buy from someone.

[veraca]

I did check their feedback, only 3 but positive. One for sure was someone selling an item to them, and I'm not sure about the others as they were vague 
Well I contacted customer support and if it's not here Friday I will report it ><

[goatchild]

Well, now that the schedule is out, photoshoot times can be finalized! 8D (schedule--> http://www.kumoricon.org/files/kumoricon2008pocketguide.pdf )

So, the Sat photoshoot is currently set at 3pm. But the Karaoke Contests start at 3:30. Could we move the photoshoot up to 2 maybe? I doubt I'm the only one planning to watch or be in the Karaoke contest, but if I am, we don't have to move the photoshoot. XD

I don't see any major conflicts with the Sun at 11am shoot, besides the Ouran Tea Party which we already knew was gonna conflict. : P

Anyone else have any problems with the scheduling?

[veraca]

I see no conflicts.

I wish I would get that wig here - I'm worried. If it's not here Tomorrow, think I should take action?


Oh well, even if I can't cosplay as Roxas in the schoolgirl, I'll at least come to take pictures - or try to lol

[Hashi]

@ Veraca: aww, I really hope it gets there and you hear from them soon D: I wanna see you as schoolgirl roxas! itd be so cute

and omg people, its getting so close! do we have a total or guesstimate of how many we can expect at each shoot? I can run though the thread and try and add it up, maybe even for each character too! I think I did it way back when XP time to update!

[Hashi]

HOMG so like i said last post, I went through all 48 pages and compiled this list! Sorry, its long but isnt that a good thing?! I organized it by character name, and in some cases people were two, so I just randomly chose what to list them under first, unless they specified sat or sunday. If you see this list and are no longer cosplaying that character PLEASE TELL ME. also! if you ARE NOT on the list, TELL ME AS WELL. I made this list so people could recognize people at the photoshoot and too see how many we have of each character XD Hope it helps at least little, if not. its just an epic list

[Malaria]

HASHI YOUR ORGANIZATIONAL POWERS ARE OCCASIONALLY STUNNING!

I'm a little irritated at the number of Zexions. Last year, it was me and that one chick who wasn't nearly as awesome. I feel upstaged. Can my ego take the blow?

Still need to visit Sally's. I'm so proactive. <<

[Hashi]

Haha, oh your ego can take it Im sure.

It does seem we have quite a few of certain characters, I hope there are more Soras though. I remember last year there were soooo many DX now Im roxas and Im running into the same issue it seems. Not bad though, I like seeing how others do the costume and such

[goatchild]

Wow, there's actually several Rikus to go with the AkuRoku take over. So I guess it's just Sora who's getting no love this year. XD;; Then again, they're all Org Rikus, aren't they? XD

@Malaria: You will still be the best because you will never be beat at sword fighting. You can even use my and Seifer's struggle bats to beat the submission out of them! >: D

[Malaria]

Hide me pretty fencing foil in the giant Org cloak. 8D Who needs peace tags?

Hashi: Dunno. Might just cripple me.
I'll miss the Soras running around. Who will faceplant into my book without youthem?

[KairiLee]

@ Hashi :

x; put us down for another Olette x3 !
- - don't know if i mentioned that im forcing my friend who goes with me to cons to cosplay this year >w> ahah .
her cosplay is almost complete D: ! just gotta get those flower designs ready to iron on & find those darn orange socks @__@; ! i swear i can't find annnny orange socks of the right shade & length ~ ! suggestions anyone n__n ?

i'm not quite sure if she'll be at the f i r s t photoshoot though because she's ditching me part-ways through the first day to go to a concert >w<; ! she'll be leaving around 3 to 4 so i'm nervous of spending the rest of the day without her at a convention for the first time ~ < - - whimp Dx .

- - if some of you lovely people don't mind me walking around with you then i may be able to stay the whole time like i was planning , but if not i'm gunna have to leave with her most likely D: .
x; so basically : kairi up for adoption 8D; ? !

; even though theres like a ton of us this year n__n; ahah .

[Hashi]

KK Ill add her ^^ and your welcome to hang out with us! Shoot, last year we started with 4 or so people and when we left we probably had 9 in our group!! so fear not

[goatchild]

Before she goes off on her merry way, make sure me, Roxas, and Seifer get a pic with her! And I'm sure most of us will stay in some sort of amoeba-like group for the rest of the day. Happened last year, will prolly happen agian. ^^

[KairiLee]

- - ahah thats great n__n , thank you both so much ~ !

x; & don't worry , i'm quite sure she will be with me full time the rest of the convention :3 .

[goatchild]

Yeup yeup! But make sure we see her the first day, cuz we won't be Hayner and Seifer after the first day. >.< I'm so excited that there are Olettes~! We already have half the TTown gang! X3

[Hashi]

Just need a Rai, Fuu and Pence XD

oh and random Townspeople! i love them lmao

[KairiLee]

-- i will be sure to keep my eyes open for you two before she has to go then owo ! she responds to CHOC-OLETTE 8D ahah xD .

x; i just knew she'd make a lovely Olette to my Kairi >u< so i'm glad she agreed to it as well ~ ! we just need a pence to have the whole gang :O ! or as my naive little choc-olette refered to him as 'tubby' Dx xD , i was like " -gasp- YOU CAN'T CALL HIM THAT HE'S ONE OF YOUR BEST FRiENDS D: !!! " , thats was when i was first introducing her to the character i wanted her to cosplay as ahah n__n; .

its sad to say that i'm really a Twilight Town girl myself >w< , i love the TTown gang x3 ! i want some pictures with you both as well n__n ~

[Hashi]

Itd be epic to find all of T-town! I know our Seifer wants to find a Rai and Fuu XD

and yay~ We definately shouldnt hard to find lol look for a Roxas as tall as the Seifer and of course Hayner will be with Seifer!

XP in other words, Just look for Seifer we'll be there. I may bring my sign though too...

[KairiLee]

- - ahah i just must get plenty of tall roxas with my kairi pictures xD !

x; i'm sure i'll find you guys as my eyes will be peeled for roxas' in general >u< ,
really its roxas thats makes me such a twilight town girl x3 .

- - its sad that there's barely any So-faces Sora's this year though owo ,
and even sadder that i don't mind that much as long as i find some lovely roxas' xD; .
la la la my otp is a sad thing indeed ~
xD

[goatchild]

I am so calling her Choc-Olette for teh whole con. 8D

I wish more people would cosplay Pence, Rai, and Fuu. We were gonna make our Zexy be our Fuu for a day, but we didn't have the time or money to make her costume. >.< And we really want a Rai~. (did you ever notice that Rai has whiskers? Cuz he does. And it's the greatest thing ever. X3;; )

We will also have struggle bats! And probably be beating the crap out of each other! XD;;

[Hashi]

XD Okay!

and haha, I do hope we see some Soras though! Then again being Soras was scary x_x; So many death glares from fellow soras..

All us Roxas arent gonna do that right?! Right?! Were all friends here~

and its decided!! Im bringing my Photoshoot sign! Its double sided! One side for generic "Kingdom Hearts Photoshoot! Kcon 08!"

and the other is~ ...still nameless you'll see when we figure out a name DX

[KairiLee]

@ goatchild : DOOO iTTT 8D .

i'd would die seeing the WHOLE TTown gang there >u< . ahah you just gotta love Rai , you know 8D ?
x; ohhh boy , i'm not letting my Olette near a struggle bat >w>; ~ ! you see the way Olette pulls popsickles outta thin air with that gleam in her eye D: ? ! thats my Olette =w= xDD .


@ Hashi : agreed n__n , i still love sora >u< .
hopefully there will be some cosplaying Sora who just don't check the forums ~
i mean this will be my 3rd k-con & my first time actually responding in the forums xD .

why so many death glares from other Sora's owo ?
oh yeah xD , we don't want roxas' sicking axel's on other roxas' !

ahah yay ~ !
then all my worries have now been cleared n__n !

[Caelendil]

  Subtract one Axel from the list.  Turns out I can't make it to Kumoricon this year.  Sorry guys!  I wish I could go..  But, issues at home came up and I no longer have the funds to go. Maybe 2009 I'll be there though!  Have a good time everyone!

[KairiLee]

SADNESS .
;w;

we can never have enough Axels D: ~ !
- - but hope to see you next year !

[veraca]

*evil smile* I see I have some left over fabric.... I want to see how nuts I can be since I have Aqua's wig- even though my friend'll be wearing it for one of her costumes. I'm trying to find out about the little wig mix up.

But if I can't get it finished (in mind that I don't get my Roxas wig *grr*) I'll try to come as School girl Aqua- in which case I'll be dragging along my kingdom key with a Chii plushie attached to it XD The metal one keeps beating up the paint lol. I went as her one day at Sakura Con.

But if I CAAAAAN get it finished - I just got a look at Aqua's non armor outfit and I think I can make it. I've got LOTS of purple left over and well... Some white, but I bet I can find some white around the house I can snip up. In short - her costume basically can be a closet costume lol! I'll go around this morning and see what I can find. (Yes I am insane.)

[chibiroth]

me and my teo other friends are going to be cosplaying as kingdom hearts 1 sora,riku and kairi.
I am going to be riku, my friend, Kuro-Tatsu is going to be sora (she cosplayed as halloween town sora last kumoricon) and my other friend. sumikins is going to be kairi.

[Hashi]

Okay! updated the list for ya chibiroth and Caelindel!

@ Veraca: Do you want me to put you down on the list as both? just in case?

[veraca]

@ Hashi: Just as Aqua. As it looks now, her costume isn't going to be THAT great, but it really looks like that wig won't come. The post office man said to wait until Tuesday, but I'm still pretty worried. Even if I do get it, I don't know if I'll wear it >< It might not even be in the best of condition.

[Malaria]

Good job informing of your evil plans beforehand, guys. Not that Fuu would be the first character that I would be voluntold into doing. (Voluntold is Jew camp vocabulary, yay!)

In other news, I'm not making any progress because I'm me.
Last year I made Yagi stay up with me till 3:45 in the morning while I painted my Lexicon. By painted I mean used a pencil to splurch white paint in a vaguely recognizable pattern all over my really really fake leather binding. LOOKS FABULOUS, I SAY.

[veraca]

XD Speaking of, making Aqua's costume in 24 hours lol not that bad. I'm heading to bed now, but when I wake up all I have to do is make the cross for the front of her shirt and the weird heart crest out of cardboard.

Any idea how one would attach that to fabric? Oo; Staple + glue perhaps? If I can find the staples... Of course I'd attach it before I paint it.

[LtCommanderRichie]

E6000 is your friend. If not that, then see if you can get silver thread and do a cross pattern across the front of the heart-thing to whip-stitch it on. But other than that a hot glue gun would work wonders too. That's how I attached about ten pounds of armor to one of my costumes.

[veraca]

oO; What the world is E6000? Anyway.. I'm sure I can find wherever our hot glue gun went.

[LtCommanderRichie]

E6000 is the mother of all glues, once you let it dry. It'll bond something spraypainted to a piece of plastic, that's how amazing it is. It'll actually bond just about anything to anything else.

Or you could, you know, just use superglue. Or hot glue. Just make sure to not paint one side of the thing.

[Black~Rose]

lol I just realized that I am technically still a part of KH cuz Tifa is in KH XD wow I'm slow

[LtCommanderRichie]

Oh don't worry. You're not slow at all! Just remember, the only difference between AC Tifa and KH2 Tifa is that KH2 Tifa doesn't have a ribbon on her arm.

[Black~Rose]

THE RIBBON ANNOYS ME!! I have an excuse now! XD

[veraca]

oO; Really? I thought I saw the ribbon on her. Oh well makes sense in the KH storyline, considering Aerith's alive in it xD

  Finished my "in one day" costume of Aqua. Doesn't look half bad actually. The colors are a tad off, but since I have matching colors of the fabric anyway it looks cool.

[goatchild]

@Malaria: We actually told you long ago whenever it was that Kaze decided to do Seifer that we wanted you to be Fuu, and you said if we made the costume, you would. So really, you voluntold US to make you Fuu. XD But yeah, obviously didn't happen. Though I suppose it still could... Sakuracon perhaps? 8D And we will so be staying up finishing things at least Friday night, if not every night of the con. XD Speaking of which, do you want us to mess with your Zexy wig Sat night for Sunday or just leave it as is? >>

@Veraca: I am so jealous of your "one day" costume skills. I am so~ behind with all my costumes. >.o

[veraca]

*evil laugh* Imagine what I could do if I had a sewing machine hahaa!

^_^ Good luck! And stop procrastinating.

[goatchild]

I'm not procrastinating, and it's still a problem! @~@ I'm working my butt off even when I'm completely delirious! Except for now cuz I just finished a skirt that took all day, so I'm taking a break. And eating. Eating is important. |D

[veraca]

Look on the bright side, you've got like a week and a half still to work.
Eating's important. The con hasn't even been on my mind - college dorm planning. It's very comical my mom and me arguing over bath towels- I told her I wanted the Egyptian ones (that she never uses them) and now she wants them. And we haven't even gotten to the hand and floor towels yet xD;

[ZombieFace]

Hi. Just thought I would randomly post here. 
I am a guy cosplaying Axel.  kind of a last minute thing. Hope it turns out well. My girlfriend is cosplaying Roxas. We'll see I guess.  You will recognize me as the.. well.. Male Axel. I shall be tall.

[LtCommanderRichie]

HOLY CRAP A MALE AXEL. That's like finding Bigfoot, or unearthing a Stargate!

My shoes should be here tomorrow. Got the strings on my sitar, though!
