Hooookaaayyyy Yeah you people are getting tired of me I know. -winks-

Hokay here is the idea, I have already run this by a lot of people. During KumoriCon, at a time when people are mostly free, for about an hour or two I wanna gather a buncha cosplayers and head into the Lloyd Center Mall.(So hard right? XD ) I want to do... dun dun dun COSPLAYERS ON ICE! This is REALLY REALLY easy... just bring a pair of socks, and about fifteen dollars(JUST to be safe).

I will be bringing a camera to this folks, and I would love to get as many cosplayers as possible on the ice rink. Just to goof around and stuff, if you do not know how to ice skate, and are wearing a delicate cosplay PLEASE DO NOT ICE SKATE. I don't wanna seem mean or something, but I don't want to see someone crying over a broken cosplay piece, or get upset to the point of needing to be pulled outta the mall.

Those that DO know how to ice skate, I would love for you to help those that don't.(Like I personally don't, but apparently its very similar to rollerblading(which I am very good at)) Soooo yeah... its a simple event, a tiny meet up at con. I was thinking it could be on Sunday even, maybe around noonish, if things allow. So help me out folks, what do you think?

nintendiehard · « **Reply #1 on:** June 04, 2008, 05:12:06 am »

Oh no way! That actually sounds really cool...though I've never ice skated myself, it sounds like a fun idea. My costume wont be all that "delicate" though, so I should be alright.

Maybe. Sunday would be the best day, since everyone will have already been there for Saturday, and wont mind missing a little bit of the con. I know I was wanting to go see a little bit of P-town while I was there anyway. Great idea!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2 on:** June 04, 2008, 11:16:38 am »

I haven't skated in soooooo long... But I can probably still do it! I'd love to go! Organization XIII on ice! Someone needs to bring a Vexen.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2008, 11:23:35 am »

That would be awesome. I can see it now, the big bad Albel on ice. I may have to fall on my ass just to make it amazing.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #4 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:47:49 pm »

Sweetness XD So glad to hear people like the idea! I think we can find a Vexen and drag him along. Or for a last Resort Haku(NarutoXD)... but yeah xD I so wanna do this because it would be kick ass awesome. Afterwards we could hit Anzens.(A small oriental foodstore in portland, they sell Bentos, and Ramune. OH and Giant Pocky!)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #5 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:51:04 pm »

O.O GIANT POCKY?! I WANT GIANT POCKY! Depending on what time we go I may not stay for too long. Also most of my costumes have no pockets so I would have to have a friend along carrying all my stuff.....come to think about it neither one of my cosplays has pockets. I guess I'll have to have a junk buddy the whole con ^_^

dshwshr55 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:11:24 pm »

What do you think they'd say to weapon props and battles on ice? ^^;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:17:01 pm »

I kind of have the feeling that they wouldn't allow it x.x but it would be awesome. I'll have a sword ^_^

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:47:41 pm »

Yeah I doubt they would let it, unless we talked to Security and the Ice Skaters ahead of schedule.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:56:17 pm »

I think that even if we did talk to security they still wouldn't let us. It could be very dangerous. Why is it that all the fun stuff is dangerous?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2008, 08:15:45 pm »

Maybe XD I might fall on my butt but I'll have to find a cosplay that is like...warm...because the one's I have planned so far are like...short's and skirts :3 If I can go, I guess I'll go in my Shia Pajama cosplay XD I'll have to ask my mom.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** June 04, 2008, 08:31:46 pm »

If I do go I need to make the cloak that Albel wears.

It wouldn't be too hard. I would love to mess with the feathers. If I could I would try to get black feathers with blond tips.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2008, 08:53:17 pm »

-giggles faintly- this will be such fun!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2008, 09:43:46 pm »

I know I can't wait ^_^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #14 on:** June 04, 2008, 10:01:00 pm »

If we could bring weapons I'd totally bring my sitar on the ice with me just for the hell of it... Or even better, I could wear my UATBN (undecided artbook Trinity Blood nun) so if I fall down you guys won't be able to find me!

Of course, if I tried spinning, toe-loops or anything else particularly fancy like that I'd probably end up flashing people because my petticoats will all fly up... Yeeeeah, Organization it is.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2008, 11:43:21 pm »

I will need some help learning, but it should be fun none the less XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:13:14 am »

It's not too hard. I had a hard time the first time I went (around age 7) then I took up roller blading and the next time I wasn't bad.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:46:53 am »

I took a good three or so years of consecutive lessons. I've forgotten most of them by now, but I took them!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:52:07 am »

It will be a little harder to do it wearing a long sarong and a cloak but I think I can manage, neither of them touch the ground : D

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #19 on:** June 05, 2008, 02:29:57 pm »

I am thinking about making a cosplay specificlly for the ice skating XD just for the hell of it. By the way Nik-chan... me and my girlfriend wanna rape you, because of your Albel Nox Cosplay XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** June 05, 2008, 02:31:27 pm »

Yay! Albel supporter ^_^. That makes me happy.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #21 on:** June 05, 2008, 07:40:27 pm »

A cosplay specifically for ice skating would be pretty cool. You go for it, IrukaSensei!

Kadaj · « **Reply #22 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:10:33 pm »

Albel will rule the world eventually! I just now it!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:22:33 pm »

Yeah he will. I just finished the base for the cloak. Over the summer I will get more feathers and make it more fluffy but for now it will do.

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #24 on:** June 24, 2008, 12:31:23 pm »

"Ahh, that sounds so fun! I can't remember the last time I went ice skating, but I remember it was fun! Hopefully, you will be seeing a Gourry and Lina at the rink, ne?" ~_^

"If there's a set time and meeting place, then me and my Lina will definetely try to go!" ^^

nintendiehard · « **Reply #25 on:** June 24, 2008, 12:34:58 pm »

Oh wow, I forgot about this. Are there any updates to this little plan of yours?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #26 on:** June 24, 2008, 06:04:14 pm »

If they aren't here... Then no. Probably not. Why, you planning on tagging along? We could get you a sequined spandex bodysuit!

XP On second thought...

nintendiehard · « **Reply #27 on:** June 24, 2008, 06:31:57 pm »

Aww, why you always pickin' on me?

Nanao_chan · « **Reply #28 on:** June 24, 2008, 07:13:22 pm »

I think once we get a little closer to con date, we can set up a time to go Ice Skating. But may I suggest staying away from the Rock-n-Skate? All the little punks like to come out on friday nights and skate to their rap music, lol. Maybe during the earlier parts of the day when they aren't doing lessons. Once the schedule book comes out, it should be easier to gage a good time.

nintendiehard · « **Reply #29 on:** June 24, 2008, 08:05:57 pm »

Oh I don't know. I think it might end up being fun that way. A bunch of em would be all makin' fun of the younger con-goes, then a few of the bigger, tougher, (older) guys would roll up, looking all threatening an such. No actual violence or anything (unless they start it of course, gotta remember your ROE's) but just all intimidating.

Yeah yeah, I'm just kidding, don't get upset mods.

oslapedo · « **Reply #30 on:** June 24, 2008, 10:14:20 pm »

Nerdly Cosplayers vs Portlandian Punks? I think we could take 'em

(Jk of course...) This sounds like noodles of fun, plus I've already talked my friends into it. Admittably it didn't take much; I mentioned Cosplay on Ice and they were sold

We should probably do this during a lull at the con, when not much is happening.

Maybe if there are enough of us, and if we pester the Ice Administrators, they might even play anime music while we skate

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** June 25, 2008, 10:48:16 am »

I agree that we need to do it when there isn't too much going on at the convention. Also maybe around lunch time? I'm sure there wont be many places at the hotle to get food (one if any at all).

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #32 on:** June 25, 2008, 12:01:43 pm »

i'm glad to see peeps are still so supportive of this! checking out the schedule would be a good idea, I was actually looking for Sunday, maybe earlier in the day XD

oslapedo · « **Reply #33 on:** June 25, 2008, 04:39:26 pm »

I love the food court at Lloyd center

What a delightful lunch that would be. Does anyone know when schedules will come out for the con?

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #34 on:** June 25, 2008, 04:45:56 pm »

Nope not yet unfortunately, I need to get a job soon, or I won't have money for con. >.< I have been trying, but no where around here wants to hire a girl thats willing to be honest.

oslapedo · « **Reply #35 on:** June 25, 2008, 05:15:46 pm »

Honest? With what?

I feel you though, I can't get a job right now either, perhaps because I'm only 14 (but I'll be 15 by August darn it!). I've had to resort to saving all the money I've been getting from people, but I have $200 now

My birthday will probably be a nice source of income too

I was wondering, how much money do people usually bring to cons? This is my first so I have no clue @_@ I've heard some things about dealers rooms in general though, and I must say, so much anime merch crammed into one cozy spot seems like a dream come true. Where I live we don't even have a real bookstore, just a tiny one in the mall, with a manga section smaller than my pinky toe

Aww.
The thing is that the business world is against real honesty. My dad got fired from a car lot because he wouldn't lie to customers! Somewhere he still has one of his training tapes that actually teaches the viewer exactly how to lie to sell a car.

How old are you anyway? *checks* oh, you actually put it on your profile, cool. Well, I don't see why it's so hard for you to get one really then. But if I can be of any help at all, I'm willing to help. Let me know.

"I can't find a new job, either... Stupid recession." ><

"And sunday sounds good - as long as I can still check out the Ouran host club tea party." XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #38 on:** June 25, 2008, 09:08:41 pm »

I brought $300 last year and I spent every cent of it. I did buy my pass and wasted a lot of it on useless stuff, then again it is all useless. At Sakuracon I spent $400 ^_^. I am looking for a job as well.....I'm not sure how many times I've said that but it is true.

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #39 on:** June 25, 2008, 09:33:08 pm »

dude I wish there was a cosplay cafe in portland, I could so get a job there!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #40 on:** June 25, 2008, 09:58:43 pm »

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

ladyknightsgrace · « **Reply #41 on:** June 25, 2008, 11:39:40 pm »

this idea is awesome!^-^...me and my friends were actually considering something like it. Sunday actually works out perfectly cause we were planning to do Ouran on Ice; I guess kinda like host club on ice, lol

nikkiolie · « **Reply #42 on:** June 26, 2008, 10:29:31 am »

That idea is also awesome! I want to see the host club on ice!

IrukaSensei · « **Reply #43 on:** June 26, 2008, 02:24:46 pm »

Ohhh goody this could work out so well !

rosebride17 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 26, 2008, 02:32:16 pm »

That sounds like soooooo much fun!!! I'll definatly be getting in on this ^^

Sugarlat · « **Reply #45 on:** June 26, 2008, 09:31:52 pm »

Woah? Huh?
What's going on with this? XD
Anyone wanna give me an update?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #46 on:** June 27, 2008, 06:00:46 pm »

Uh... This thing jumped two pages since I was last in here. That's what happened.

But seriously, getting out on ice with anime music would be epic-cool. Not to mention it'll be hot as hell... Wonder if they'll let me bring my sitar so I can kinda sit it on the sidelines so people can wonder what the hell is going on?

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #47 on:** June 27, 2008, 06:12:37 pm »

oh can't wait i so hope this works out and all!! i just mainly hope i can come along.. for skating.. but it will be very funny watching me skate.. (not that talitned here..)) but hay what the HELL SKATING TIME!!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #48 on:** June 27, 2008, 07:59:28 pm »

I know I am so looking forward to this. I am going to try to roller blade before the con so I can get back in the grove of it.

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #49 on:** June 27, 2008, 08:19:51 pm »

"The thought of a bunch of people in cosplay skating seems hilarious enough to me - whether they are good at it or not.. Doing anything in cosplay, to me, is always 100x funner! There are a lot of things that are making me even more excited for the con, and this tis' one of them." X3
