The PSU Anime Club is hosting a Costume Ball on ~~April 10th~~ ~~October 23, 2009~~ in about four hours(!). It will be held in the Smith Memorial Student Union's 3rd Floor Ballroom. The event is completely free and open to the public.

For those of you who don't dance but want to learn, we will start the event at 6:30pm with a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing. DJed dance music will follow, with a break for the costume contest at 9pm. The event ends at 11:30.

Cookies, fresh veggie snacks and hot/cold beverages will be provided.

The prizes for the costume contest will be as follows:

First Prize(1): $100 Powell's Gift Certificate http://www.powells.com/
Second Prize(3): Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/b625/
Third Prize(5): $10 Powell's Gift Certificate http://www.powells.com/

I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Wil

Edit: Rescheduled the event to October.

Sounds like fun, but April 10th is the first day of Sakuracon.

True, but this is a good chance for those who can't make it to Sak to still have fun

Eep.

I thought Sakura-con was the following weekend.

Ummm... yeah. Stay tuned for possible updates.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #5 on:** March 22, 2009, 03:12:17 pm »

I would come too but like everyone has said before, Sakuracon.

If the date changes I'll totally come though since I live only five or so blocks away from PSU.

Edit: Rescheduled the event to October.

We had a bunch of reservations and such, but we hadn't actually spent any money yet, so rescheduling turned out to be pretty easy. Also, now we get to be in the big ballroom in the student union instead of the cafeteria.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2009, 05:32:39 pm »

October 23rd this year? I'm marking my calender now. I was hoping to have more things planned this year for October and surprisingly things are already popping up.

I would be glad to attend. count me in. :3

Trumby · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:13:23 pm »

In this case I can plan to attend this now since I'll be at Sakura-con too. *puts info in phone*

Radien · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2009, 03:20:00 am »

That's a huge reschedule, but I know how it is. When October rolls around I'll see if I can join you guys.

Sayda · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:08:50 pm »

Sweet. I can go to this now, too.

Oh I will go if it is in October

Radien · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2009, 09:52:35 pm »

Hmmm, October 23rd basically makes it a pre-Halloween party... well, no complaints. It just means more excuses for cosplay, or at least a better one.

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2009, 09:10:36 am »

Nice! It's too far ahead in the future to say if I can go or not, but hopefully I can, and with some friends! :)

nyahaha · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2009, 11:07:16 am »

It's a bit away for me to be able to plan it, but I would like to come! It sounds fun! ^.^

seshetaxhikaru · « **Reply #17 on:** May 01, 2009, 12:27:45 pm »

Awesome! I'll be there since I sadly missed VMB this year.
Question tho, is the attire anime cosplay? Or just masquerade attire in general?

Thanks.

Hazuza · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2009, 11:54:30 pm »

Sounds fun... And it's on my birthday as well |D How grand.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #19 on:** May 02, 2009, 03:19:58 pm »

I will try to make it to this as well. May have to find a dress for Larxene

makichan · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2009, 06:23:04 pm »

Count me in! I'll also be inviting a few others, as well. ^0^

Ottery · « **Reply #21 on:** September 09, 2009, 04:31:31 pm »

I'll be there! <3 Sounds awesome!

Jukie_Pop · « **Reply #22 on:** September 09, 2009, 04:36:26 pm »

I may be attending as Rukia, in a dress. <3
Or, I'll just go as Doll, my cosplay for Kumoricon.
Depends...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2009, 04:38:09 pm »

I'm going to try hard to get Cassandra done before this goes on~ It'll be a nice chance to try out my costume for the first time!

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #24 on:** September 09, 2009, 06:06:29 pm »

I may go... hmm...

Hidamari · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2009, 06:09:44 pm »

I'm definatly in unless a conflict comes up!

Lynx · « **Reply #26 on:** September 09, 2009, 07:45:45 pm »

It's on my calendar now. I definitely would love to go =D

Firemousey · « **Reply #27 on:** September 09, 2009, 07:50:15 pm »

If nothing comes up, I don't mind. I might go too.

makichan · « **Reply #28 on:** September 09, 2009, 08:52:41 pm »

My friends and I will go as the Gotham Girls (Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and maybe Batgirl).

XFD · « **Reply #29 on:** September 09, 2009, 08:58:40 pm »

It makes me happy to see that my old college's Anime club is still alive and kicking. :sniff:

Hidamari · « **Reply #30 on:** September 09, 2009, 09:01:01 pm »

DID SOMEONE SAY BIRTHDAY? I'LL BRING THE HAT.

Rushifa · « **Reply #31 on:** September 09, 2009, 09:37:59 pm »

This is exciting, I'll probably make it! I love costume balls.

really, the UofO's club died? Sad times!

Lynx · « **Reply #34 on:** September 10, 2009, 07:40:01 pm »

Is anyone able to get in touch with the original poster? =( I sent a PM but to no avail yet.

Hazuza · « **Reply #35 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:13:39 pm »

the OP hasn't logged since April >.o
We'd have better luck asking someone who goes to PSU to check it out.

Wil · « **Reply #36 on:** September 11, 2009, 01:16:18 am »

Yikes! I guess I wasn't getting notifications of replies to this thread. I did get the notification of the PM, though.

To answer the questions I spotted while skimming the replies, and in no particular order:

1) There is no age limit.
2) All costumes are welcome, not just anime cosplay outfits.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to everyone. Glad to hear that folks are planning to come.

xcthulhux · « **Reply #37 on:** September 11, 2009, 01:27:01 am »

i will most definitely be there.

Lynx · « **Reply #38 on:** September 11, 2009, 01:50:42 am »

I'm glad you got my message OP. Thank you for coming back.

Yeah, TUNAC (the Truly Unnamed Anime Club) died like two years after Kumori Con started. Most of the founders of TUNAC graduated from the U of O and shifted their focus to running Kumori Con. Interestingly, though, our con chair Beau was one of the last people to keep attending it -- he acts casual but he's pretty dedicated.

Someone tried to revive the club about two years ago. I participated, but it didn't last.

Anyway, about the PSU costume ball... I hope to come. I'll put it on my calendar.

Hopefully I can fix my Mr. 6 costume in time for this!

Firemousey · « **Reply #41 on:** September 18, 2009, 02:07:32 am »

I was wondering...what kind of costume(s) are acceptable for this ball? Is this like the masquerade ball or is this just like a dance but with cosplay?

I hadn't even thought of that. I just assumed that since it's right before Halloween, it'd be a normal costume ball where all you have to do is come in costume.

Firemousey · « **Reply #43 on:** September 18, 2009, 08:30:49 pm »

Every time I hear "Costume Ball," I think of something extravagant like a Masquerade - but just a bit more costume based. Idk why, but I like those kinds of things..xD

oslapedo · « **Reply #44 on:** September 18, 2009, 09:20:12 pm »

I want to go to this :O

Selkie · « **Reply #45 on:** September 18, 2009, 09:21:03 pm »

i love it. i can dress up as a character and how they would dress up at a ball. thinking of going as mari from Eva 2.0.

If I could just fine a nice, crisp white suit then I could go...

Maybe get some good photos of that event as well.

If you're the guy I remember, as in the one in your avatar, shouldn't your bloodstained outfit be good enough? =D

Mr Silmero · « **Reply #48 on:** September 19, 2009, 01:19:09 am »

You know it is a dress shirt, belt and slacks along with Leather shoes so MAYBE

Rather not have the MAX police stop me though..."Sir why are you completely stained in blood?"

And maybe I got a pic of you? Who knows.

You don't have to wonder why; those kinds of things are pretty stylish.
