Pocket guide download - KumoriCon Schedule 2008

[mizushimo]

I don't mean to be a nag, but where is Kumori-Con's schedule? We're got 18 days until august 30th and I can only find mentions of its nonexistence in some mid-July forum posts.

The reason I'm pestering you about this is because my friend and I are planning to drive to portland for two of three days of the Con. If certain events, like the AMV contest, take place on Saturday, then my friend might have to take time out from work (she normally works Saturday).
 
If the complete schedule isn't ready yet, could you at least post a rough outline?

I think this is something that everyone is waiting on. Unfortunately from what I hear it isn't done yet v.v

[vampirek_yaoi]

You will just have to wait. It's not ready yet, and they are trying there best to finish it. We the Yojimbo got a sample one to work with are shifts, but I'm afraid I can't post/share that, because it's not allowed. So the only thing I can tell you is have patience, and wait like everyone else.

[TomtheFanboy]

Yes, everyone is very eager to get ahold of the finished draft. I expect the we might see one Thursday or Friday, but I don't plan on worrying over it until the meeting on Saturday.

We'll probably all be given access to it there.

[Syd-chan]

I saw one somewhere. It looked pretty accurate to what I thought it would be. I mean, it was this year's and everything, but someone might have just slapped a '8' sticker over the '7'.

[nikkiolie]

YAY for getting the schedule out soon ^_^

[Jamiche]

The schedule is pretty much complete (there are always some last minute tweaks), and has been sent to the printer.  It should be posted on the website sometime this week, as soon as the web staff can get to it, but please keep in mind that these last couple of weeks are crunch time for us and people are doing what they can.

The AMV contest will be Saturday, with another showing Monday morning.  Cosplay will be Sunday.

[Negima]

If it helps, usually the main big events happen on the first and second day (Saturday and Sunday).

[TomtheFanboy]

Here's a schedule.

18 days.... Lolx...

[Antares]

One of the cons I go to (now in it's ninth year) only has the sched. printed on pieces of paper that are available each morning (i.e. Friday sched. is available Friday when you get there!) so I feel happy that we even have a pocket guide! (FYI said con also did not have con books available until the second day - woah. Makes us look like pros! Wait - we are pros!  )

[EveofAbyss]

Well, I can wait, heh. I have never seen the schedule ahead of time before, so if I don't this year, it won't be anything to throw me off 

I'm all about Friday night planning and schedule highlighting, lol

Same here, it would be cool to see it early but I can wait.

Much of the pocket guide info, as well as event blurbs, will be posted in a web-browser viewable format on the main site in the next few days.

[oslapedo]

  YAY! *reads intently*

[EveofAbyss]

Sweet. Thank you! ^_^

[oslapedo]

Is it just me or is there a yaoi/yuri party listed for 18+ only? What about the one for minors? :<

[EveofAbyss]

The ones on the schedule are the traditional yaoi/yuri events. They are 18+ because they are after hours and only  those over 18 are allowed out after curfew, even in conspace. The yaoi/yuri event you all have been planning on here is unofficial and so it probably isn't on the schedule, that is just up to you all to figure out and plan and organize for yourselves. If you want it to be for all ages, though, it's gonna have to be during "all ages hours".

[oslapedo]

Oh my gosh thanks! I feel kinda foolish now xD

[EveofAbyss]

Just one thing I noticed (and it may not even matter, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway). The "bio", if you will, for The Slants is from 2007 when their album had yet to be released. So, it really doesn't make a difference, but I wanted to let you know if you hadn't caught that. ^_^

Oh my gosh thanks! I feel kinda foolish now xD

And no worries! It's fine, it's easy to overlook or misunderstand the situation with so much going on.

[oslapedo]

There really is a lot going on! Autograph sessions during the Host Club Tea Party for instance...!

[EveofAbyss]

Ah, so much awesome! Ninja Nonsense, Akihabara@DEEP viewings! Anime Hunters, The Slants Autograph Session and concert, Cosplay Photography. Saa, I'm already having scheduling conflicts, but oh well, this is gonna be amazing, lol. *happy shimmy dance*

[oslapedo]

I noticed the Ninja Nonsense too! I didn't really understand what Cosplay photography was though x)

And oh my friggin gosh, Kirk Thornton AND Richard Epcar. I love 'em both for their random .hack//G.U. roles. And they voice Jin (from Samurai Champloo) and Batou (from Gits) respectively! The fangirl in me is about to explode!

Also a fangirlish question! Will there be posters or something there that we have them sign, or do we get to bring whatever we want? :3

Yeah, I'm not sure what Cosplay Photography is either, but hey, photography + cosplay, can't be bad! heh

And I'm sure the guys will sign anything you bring. I know when I went to the A-Key Kyo autograph session last year, they had posters and merch that they were selling with them, and then they of course signed it when I bought some. So, if anyone (like The Slants, for example) has their own merch then I'm sure they'd sign that, but I doubt anyone would turn you away if you brought something for them to sign instead.

[oslapedo]

Yay! ^_^ I'm so excited! I wish I had a Tachikoma plushie, I'd so have Richard Epcar sign that! Maybe I'll have Kirk Thornton sign the second volume of Samurai Champloo manga, the one with Jin on the cover. Oh geez I'm so pumped up I can't handle it!!!

[Sugarlat]

SO MANY EVENTS!!!
[/passes out]

[EveofAbyss]

Yay, return of the Polystyrene Prop workshop/panel! I missed it last year for something....don't remember what....but I'm stoked for that one. I am all about making top-notch props and making them durable, and I work with polystyrene immensely, so I'm looking forward to that one.

[oslapedo]

I feel your pain! *passes out also*

[Sugarlat]

I'm going to need to make a schedual...
It's hard when the panels aren't listed like the Ouran tea party plus our other planned events like ice skating and the photoshoots...
This'll be hard to plan...

[oslapedo]

The Ouran Tea Party is listed. It's 9am - 12 pm. And it overlaps the ooey gooeyness of Kirk Thornton and Richard Epcar! I'll have to miss some the the Tea Party for them.

I already made a makeshift schedule  And I'm happy because the DN photoshoot isn't overlapping anything, and we still get to pick a time for the MoHS one! :3

[Sugarlat]

Oh i didn't see that!
I'll have to pull up the photoshoot schedual...

[TomtheFanboy]

Oh noooo..... T_T

The food map got messed up, almost all of the numbers are wrong.....

Compare for yourself.

The 18+ Yaoi/Yuri party is the adult panel... the Shounen-ai/Shoujou-ai panel before it is the the one for minors (the one being planned in the yaoi/yuri thread.) Yes, it is a little confusing, but both panels are being run.

Cosplay photography is a panel by a cosplay photographer, talking about how to get good photos of your cosplay.

Okay, that's what I was hoping it was. I could definitely use some pointers on that area.

[nikkiolie]

wait where is this? Is it just going to be on the schedule or is it a topic that I completely missed?

sorry let me clarify, the cosplay photography thingy.

[EveofAbyss]

It is on page 14, Saturday afternoon, 1:30pm in Panel 3 room. And yeah, it is on the schedule (which is posted a couple pages back).

[nikkiolie]

wow......I didn't even know the schedule was posted x.x

[EveofAbyss]

heh, it's one of those rare times when staying up too late has its benefits.

[nikkiolie]

ok well I have to wait. I can't open PDF files without buying the program. A window pops up and ask me to buy it or enter the serial number....and i hate that program so much that I don't even want to buy it. So I can wait.

[EveofAbyss]

Hmm, that's weird. What program is it that you have (or don't have, actually)?

[nikkiolie]

adobe...... stupid thing....

[EveofAbyss]

Ah, that stinks. I've had some troubles with adobe also, though I thought the reader was free....I dunno.

But this site has a pdf reader that you can get for free, seems like a pretty decent program. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/down_reader.htm

[nikkiolie]

I figured out how to get it open. There isn't too much that I really want to see so thats good. I'll work on making a list of them tonight.

[TomtheFanboy]

Reader is free! I help people download it every day!

For people who missed it....


Anyway, I am a little cheered up despite the map snafu.

Forum Meet up and Pocky Club both got Panel 1! That means we get the big panel room and the projector! Mwahaha!

[Lin]

Pocket Guide brings me great joy!!!

[oslapedo]

The 18+ Yaoi/Yuri party is the adult panel... the Shounen-ai/Shoujou-ai panel before it is the the one for minors (the one being planned in the yaoi/yuri thread.) Yes, it is a little confusing, but both panels are being run.

Thank you so very much!!! My heart is so full of happiness at the prospect of KCon! 

And w00tness for the forum meet up panel! I'm so excited! Everyone here better go so I can meet all of you! *waves intimidating finger*

[laurifer]

Thank you Tom! So far, there's no schedule conflicts for me. Yay!

[EveofAbyss]

Yep, I'll for sure be at the Forum Meet-Up. The only real scheduling conflict I'm having right now is between The Slants Concert and watching Akihabara@DEEP. What to do...what to do...heh

[oslapedo]

I don't really have any scheduling conflicts of things written on the schedule. But when you add in all the unofficial side stuff... I'll be quite busy

[laurifer]

Yep, I'll for sure be at the Forum Meet-Up. The only real scheduling conflict I'm having right now is between The Slants Concert and watching Akihabara@DEEP. What to do...what to do...heh

If you want I have a DVD with all the eps of Akihabara@DEEP if you wanna go to the Slants Concert lol
