DD: that sucks. yeah, i'm using some birthday/christmas money that i've got lying around to get my fabric.

I get a paycheck on Saturday so I'll have money to get stuff this weekend

@ Richie: WAIT. You're doing Angeal? Ahhh, so much love for you. I'm warning you like. three and a half months in advance that I may be wanting a hug, okay? : D

@ nikki: well, that's good. what do yyou have to get?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #152 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:21:03 pm »

I just need to get the fabric to make the belt and gloves and add a little trim to the skirt. Really not too much work

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #153 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:23:10 pm »

yeah. that should be easy enough.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #154 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:23:56 pm »

@ kuro: If you find me you can have a hug AND a dumbapple. I'm making a whole bunch of them so me and a Zack, Cloud, Genesis and Sephiroth can skip around merrily while swinging the basket. Possibly an Aerith too.

Evil skirt is evil. Curse you, Katsura Hoshino! Why must you make splendid designs I must cosplay and probably horribly maim myself while wearing them?

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #155 on:** January 04, 2009, 07:30:51 pm »

MAH. Really? Like for serious? That is amazing. I would love a dumbapple. falskdjf. That's like my Easter!Kanda version for Sunday. With bunny ears and a basket of Easter candy to give to people. I'll give you candy! : D

O.O can I have one too?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #157 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:46:37 pm »

Sure, why not? I'll make a bunch.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #158 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:12:14 pm »

I love that game so very very much. I would love to do Zack but I am not near buff enough to pull him off.....maybe Cissnei

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #159 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:50:14 pm »

My arms are kinda twiggy, but they're hairy enough to pass as manly.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #160 on:** January 05, 2009, 08:20:46 am »

XD that's great. I might be able to pull off Cloud though

HatakeGirlX · « **Reply #161 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:27:39 pm »

ugh speaking of Final Fantasy cosplays I am considering cosplaying Shalua Rui from Final Fantasy VII, once a con rolls around that I dont have too much planned for (so prolly next mewcon) any tips? x.x

snafu · « **Reply #162 on:** January 05, 2009, 07:28:27 pm »

So far, I've only got one cosplay for Sakuracon planned, possibly going to have a second, depending on my financial situation after everything else is in place. But the one planned for sure is Nathan Explosion from Metalocalypse.

Sayda · « **Reply #163 on:** January 05, 2009, 08:00:04 pm »

I love Metalocalypse! I think the only person I could pull off though would be Toki. I really want to me Murderface, but I'm not big enough, or manly enough.

makichan · « **Reply #164 on:** January 05, 2009, 11:50:38 pm »

Okay, so it might possibly be a stupid question, but do we have to pay hotel tax if we are residents of Oregon and have valid proof of I.D.? I know somebody knows the answer. It's just my first time going

Oh, but also:
We have a room at the Sheraton. Operation Sakura is definitely a go!
We should have a little mini pool party for all of us at the same hotel. >:]

nikkiolie · « **Reply #165 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:21:13 am »

I believe if you show proof that you live in Oregon you don't have to pay taxes.

and I would be up for a pool party

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #166 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:30:15 am »

Yep! If you live in Oregon you don't have to pay tax. Saves a headache at Nordstrom's, that's for sure.

X3 Sheraton pool party sounds like fun. Thursday night?

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but yes, you do have to pay the hotel tax. That's a tax that is paid at any hotel, regardless of where it is located (at least in the U.S.). There's no sales tax on hotel rooms so you don't have to pay that, though.

Also still working on my snowie..need to go buy some paint and epoxy!

Damn. Well, I'm glad I asked. Boo.
Anyway, about the pool party. My group won't be checking in until Friday >,>
We're staying the night at someone's house in Seattle and going down there on Friday morning.
It saves money xD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #169 on:** January 06, 2009, 12:03:46 pm »

I wasn't sure if you had to or not. That is why I said I believe ^_^

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #170 on:** January 06, 2009, 03:42:39 pm »

i think you do, even with proof. we had to last year. also. pool party is win.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #171 on:** January 06, 2009, 04:38:10 pm »

no big deal either way. I'm starting to save up now

plus I should get some sort of a tax return

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #172 on:** January 06, 2009, 04:38:44 pm »

xD a little bit early, don't you think? and thats good times.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #173 on:** January 06, 2009, 04:42:09 pm »

a little early to save or get tax returns? Either way I will only be working the weekends so in three weeks I'll get about $200....maybe. And it's not like I really need to spend the money on anything so I should just save it. I'll tell myself that it is all for Sakuracon but really only a small portion of it is

makichan · « **Reply #174 on:** January 06, 2009, 06:02:38 pm »

In my opinion, it's never to early to start saving. It saves you one hell of a time later on.

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #175 on:** January 06, 2009, 06:15:24 pm »

i suppose. xD but like. its 93 days away. aaah. which actually doesn't SEEM that long.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #176 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:22:59 pm »

it really doesn't seem too long. I still have a lot I need to do and not a lot of time to do it >_<

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #177 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:24:12 pm »

ugh. yeah.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #178 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:25:12 pm »

I still have a few touch-ups I need to do >_< MUST GET MATERIAL THIS WEEKEND!

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #179 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:25:56 pm »

xD i was going to but it turns out i have other plans! DD: i won't be able to start for another couple weeks.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #180 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:26:57 pm »

There really isn't too much I need to do, but finding time to do it will be the issue. I have to make gloves from scratch and I am not looking forward to that DX

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #181 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:27:34 pm »

DD: well, that shouldnt be TOO hard, i hope. then again, i've never made gloves before.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #182 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:28:47 pm »

Steven said he would help me out, so then I would have to do it sometime on the weekend or during spring break

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #183 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:29:10 pm »

good plan!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #184 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:30:54 pm »

I should do it a little early in the term so I am not worried about midterms and what not.

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #185 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:31:30 pm »

yeah. getting things off your plate is always nice. and relieving.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #186 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:32:17 pm »

I may ask him to help me next weekend or so. I think I don't have anything major planed then

makichan · « **Reply #187 on:** January 06, 2009, 08:33:02 pm »

I have about 90% of my cosplay that I still have to make xD
At least it shouldn't be TOO bad.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #188 on:** January 06, 2009, 09:12:37 pm »

I have one completely done and I would say 75% on Albel and the last one I am going to buy then it will be done

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #189 on:** January 06, 2009, 09:25:31 pm »

My cosplays are scaring me. I need to add a whole 'nother level to a petticoat, make the skirt that goes over it, finish an entire Trinity Blood cosplay, make a whole sword, get wigs, splice together two wigs for my sister's Nia Teppelin, actually MAKE said Nia Teppelin cosplay, and to top it all off I have finals at the end of the month and if I don't do well on those I can't go at all.

D:

nikkiolie · « **Reply #190 on:** January 06, 2009, 09:31:49 pm »

Wow that is a lot of work. I hope you do good on your tests. Those are way more important than getting costumes made. Also you need to make sure you get some time in there to relax.

Tax Returns are Amazing!! Last year my tax return covered just about all my expenses.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #192 on:** January 06, 2009, 10:42:24 pm »

Yeah last year I got about $200 which easily paid for my hotel and even some of my swag. My parents also gave me another $100

Wow, I wish more people realized this.

I cant even count how many times Ive heard people throw tanrums because their teachers dared to give them homework before a constume. The end result is they refuse to the homework and yell at the teacher for interfering with serious bussiness unti lthey get an A.
Hooray for priorities.

I just bring my homework with me. Soemtimes, it just adds to the costume.

Last Gasukan ( monthly meet up in Seattle) I wore my young Byakuya costume and sat down to do my homework if anyone bothered me I told them to go away becuase " have more important things to do than play games"

It so worked. XD

makichan · « **Reply #194 on:** January 07, 2009, 10:34:02 am »

My goal is since it's going to be during my spring term I'm going to finish all of my homework ahead of time. I don't want to end up thinking about it at the con. Hopefully there isn't a huge test afterward >.<;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #195 on:** January 07, 2009, 11:30:15 am »

Its the second weekend of spring term for me so I shouldn't have too much to worry about. Though I will try to get everything done before I leave

Also I am starting eating better and working out again. Almost three months left till the con

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #196 on:** January 07, 2009, 05:05:05 pm »

What I find funny is that just about a week after Sakuracon I'll be in Portland with unadulterated access to Fabric Depot for three days. My mother will probably kill me if I come home from that school getaway with a few large bags of fabric, but still.

Trumby · « **Reply #197 on:** January 07, 2009, 06:49:38 pm »

I can't wait to get my tax returns so I can actually buy the stuff to finish my costumes..bah. I got my Mal pistol today though! Now to do more research for the boots and find someone to make the coat for me and I am set...will just need to buy everything then!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #198 on:** January 07, 2009, 07:07:50 pm »

You are going to be Mal for Sakuracon? I'll keep an eye out for you. I <3 Mal ^_^

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #199 on:** January 07, 2009, 07:41:53 pm »

I wanna see SmileDK....Whhhhaaaaahhhhhhh! I had so much fun at Sakuracon last year. Hope you all have fun while im stressing out learning how to be a new mommy! (aww, I couldnt be happier about the stress though.)
