Awwww you wont be able to make it? I had a blast last year so I am really looking forward to this year

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #201 on:** January 07, 2009, 07:48:39 pm »

That would be a negative. Baby is due April 1st. Con in the first few weeks of life=bad idea. That is if he comes on time. Id rather not deliver in a hotel room in Seattle. LOL or at the convention center itself! There will be other years.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #202 on:** January 07, 2009, 08:10:08 pm »

Ok yeah I can see where that would be a bad idea >_>

Good luck with the delivery and what not.

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

Going to try to..it is going to depend a lot on money though, as that coat is going to be super expensive to have made.

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.)

You can always have someone call you and you can listen to it, at least!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #204 on:** January 07, 2009, 08:54:01 pm »

Well I wish you the best of luck ^_^ I would love to see Mal.

For 2009, so far we have Smile.dk (of DDR fame) and the Jrock band Girugamesh coming.

'Bout damn time too, maybe after they get bigger they could come to Portland.
Animecons need to get more actual J-Rock and less of the poppy stuff, imo.

Sakuracon is less than two months away! How are cosplay progresses coming along?

Sayda · « **Reply #207 on:** February 12, 2009, 01:41:41 pm »

I have money! So today I'm going out to buy some fabric for my Gentern Cosplay. I'm also going to pick up some clear colored subject dividers for the mask. I already have a wig on the way for it, and almost have enough money to afford the shoes.

Axel still needs a new wig. I'm gonna save up for them after I finish my Gentern, and then his coat needs to be made. Other then that though, I'm set.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #208 on:** February 12, 2009, 01:44:57 pm »

are you going to get the wig for Soubi?

Sayda · « **Reply #209 on:** February 12, 2009, 01:47:06 pm »

I'm not sure if I can afford Soubi. The wig isn't the hard part, it's the costume. I don't think Steven would be willing to sew three whole outfits for me before Sakuracon. =/

nikkiolie · « **Reply #210 on:** February 12, 2009, 01:50:48 pm »

Well that is too bad =/

Sayda · « **Reply #211 on:** February 12, 2009, 01:54:36 pm »

I'm pretty sure Steven's still up for Natsuo, though!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #212 on:** February 12, 2009, 02:04:45 pm »

that's good

makichan · « **Reply #213 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:05:02 pm »

Question: Do badges get mailed out, or do we have to go pick them up?
I'm new to Sakura, sooooo...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #214 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:09:20 pm »

Sak won't mail out badges. I'd go the night before to pick up the badge so you aren't plagued with LINES FOREVER.

I finally got my confirmation for pre-reg after a month and a half. Jesus christ, I was freaking out that someone stole my check or something.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #215 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:26:34 pm »

yeah sadly they do not get mailed out. One thing I am not too happy for, but I should be able to go to Pre-reg Thursday night to pick mine up. We are going to be leaving about 10am to 12 pm Thursday

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #216 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:38:28 pm »

-headesk- It's a good thing I looked at this thread I didnt even know that. XD
Arg, I have 3 cosplays to make and I cant start until The last week of April...;_;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #217 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:40:02 pm »

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #218 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:42:10 pm »

Er...wtf. >w< I meant the last week of MARCH! Stupid fingers why do you decive me!? DX
Ok so yeah I meant march and stuffs and im only gonna have a week or less to do them.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #219 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:43:25 pm »

Ok I was thinking you meant that but if you didn't >_>; well I could see that happening too XD

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #220 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:47:23 pm »

X_X'''

nikkiolie · « **Reply #221 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:49:15 pm »

I hope you get it done

I can't wait for Sakuracon. I think this weekend I am going to put Youji on and take some pictures

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #222 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:51:41 pm »

I hope so too. None of my friends besides Tessa are willing to help me. And I cant sew and I also dont wanna just throw all my stuff at Tessa and tell her to do them for me XD

Yey~! 8D I was hopeing to fit in a loveless cosplay for Sakuracon buuuttt...I have no clue who I could be thanks to my higth. >w<

Zaatar · « **Reply #223 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:52:27 pm »

Nikki, can you reccommend anyone who could sew a costume for me that wouldn't cost an inordinate amount of money?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #224 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:54:03 pm »

hmmmm....you can ask Sugarlat or Danayoki on here, they might help you out.

Zaatar · « **Reply #225 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:55:54 pm »

Much thanks! : o )

nikkiolie · « **Reply #226 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:57:21 pm »

I hope they can help, though they may be busy with making their own >_>;

Zaatar · « **Reply #227 on:** February 12, 2009, 05:00:10 pm »

I have a backup if I need it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #228 on:** February 13, 2009, 11:14:31 pm »

So close to time >_<

I need to make sure to bring the under armor home next weekend for Youji.

I also need to finish sewing a glove >_>;

RandomCosplay · « **Reply #229 on:** February 13, 2009, 11:25:40 pm »

I hope I can go to my bday is the 12th of Apirl! I'll be 22

ThiefKingsHier · « **Reply #230 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:53:58 am »

This is kind of on topic so i must go off on my tangent becuase I am angry.

On not being able to sew-
It is THE most frustrating thing in the world. My firends complain that thy always have to make costumes for me, but they wont show me how to do it myself, which I would MUCH prefer.

For all the time and complaing required for them to make me a costume they never F-ng do it right!

Im sure NO ONE knows the character but Im doing Nicholai from Shadow hearts covenent.
A one eyed bat can see that he has very belled sleeves, I emphasized this many times.
Does my friend even TRY to make them correctly? Hell no!
My coat has very straight and...kind of but-not-really- wide sleeves.

Last year my costume was too small.
The year before it was about three sizes too big.

For the love of god just teach me how to do it myself! >_<

aaaanyway, for SC yes, i should have Nicholai ( the 'not so popular RPG shoot makes me happy) and yet again Renji. I wanted to stop cossplaying Renji last year but apparently Im not allowed.
Oh, and young yakuay from he Manga-soon to be anime.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #231 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:05:54 pm »

yeah that can be a bit of a pain the in ass. I would say just practice on your own. Sewing isn't really TOO hard. I have taught myself the basics....and I mean REALLY basic stuff. I'm not that great at it, but if you find a pattern it will show you how to do everything ^_^

You may have to look up some terminology though XD

Sayda · « **Reply #232 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:18:42 pm »

And watch Youtube videos. I'm sure there's stuff on there that teach you how.

Also if you're still in high school a lot of them have sewing classes. Even if you don't take it you could always go to the teacher after school and ask for some help on how to sew.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #233 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:31:03 pm »

so there are ways to learn. The hardest thing I have sewn so far have been gloves and they are turning out alright. I'm sure making a whole costume would be hard though x.x

xRIxKUx · « **Reply #234 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:43:37 pm »

have you guys already started on your cosplays!??! xDDD

makichan · « **Reply #235 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:35:53 am »

kinda, sorta.
And by that I mean the minimum.

xRIxKUx · « **Reply #236 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:37:16 am »

I can see that. haha your Kid cosplay progress has stayed at 15% since we decided. Haha

makichan · « **Reply #237 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:41:26 am »

I can move that to 20% now, thank you very much >:O

uraharafreak · « **Reply #244 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:47:32 pm »

Ugh, my cosplays keep changing because of cost

It's only like a month and a half away and am still not sure on some costumes.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #245 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:49:18 pm »

Thats too bad....I am for sure going to do two.....not sure about another one though. It depends if Steven is going to do it or not

xRIxKUx · « **Reply #246 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:51:16 pm »

What is Steven doing this year?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #247 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:54:11 pm »

Well I am trying to get him to cosplay Natsuo for my Youji from loveless....not too sure about his others though >_>
