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 probably didn't. I was one of the people who didn't dress up for the con so I was probably an uninteresting subject matter anyways. (small Asian girl with glasses if it helps)

LOL @ the MAX Police thing though! xD

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

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

I blame it on the movies. xD

Well firemousey if you were in a crowd at a panel there is a chance I got a photo of you- who knows.

Rushifa · « **Reply #53 on:** September 19, 2009, 05:47:08 pm »

I'm also curious about how formal the costumes need to be. Like is it anything goes, semi-formal, ballroom? So many possibilities!

Firemousey · « **Reply #54 on:** September 20, 2009, 12:58:03 am »

I hope it's semi-formal. I like wearing pretty things, plus I have a dress that CAN be both for a formal occasion AND for cosplay.

StarryShay · « **Reply #55 on:** September 22, 2009, 07:26:28 pm »

Sounds like funnnnn. :'3

Firemousey · « **Reply #56 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:34:46 pm »

I pm'd the OP and received word back that if you want to dress formally/semi-formally as in Masquerade Style clothing, that it's fine too.

I'm definitely going Masquerade Style!

soundninja12 · « **Reply #57 on:** September 23, 2009, 04:36:20 pm »

Sounds entertaining!
I think I might go

Rushifa · « **Reply #58 on:** September 27, 2009, 12:05:00 am »

Awesome, I'll definitely go masquarade style if I have time (sans mask of course, they don't work very well with glasses anyway...). Should be a blast!

Do we know if there will be swing/ballroom dancing, or more of rave-style?

Agent47 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:34:15 pm »

I may go to this.. since I probably won't have anything better going on.

And it'll give me a reason to get the 2 last pieces I need for my dress-suit Kakashi Hatake cosplay.

Lynx · « **Reply #60 on:** September 30, 2009, 09:45:23 am »

Don't think I can make it anymore. Sad day =( But I'll be at the other event happening at someone's pad on the 30th and the Sharis meetup this sunday! =P

I've updated the post to reflect the current status of the Costume Ball and to answer some of the questions that have been posted in reply to the thread.

Three weeks from tonight!

I really need to finish my costume...

Sayda · « **Reply #64 on:** October 03, 2009, 01:22:35 pm »

Even though this is a costume ball, I figure I should ask this anyway, just to be sure.

Are masks allowed? I was planning on having my face painted, and I just want to be sure that's within the rules before I make this my for sure costume.

Masks and face paint are ok.

What kind of dance? It's my experience that learning different dance styles helps all my dancing.

The DJ will have music appropriate to Swing (East Coast/West Coast/Lindy, which actually covers a lot of music, including modern stuff) and whatever we provide to him. I may provide a modern Tango song for myself. If you have any specific requests, please PM me.

We're getting close to the event. Last chance to PM me with music requests!

It's in the Smith Memorial Student Union (SMSU) Ballroom (3rd floor) and it starts at 6:30pm on Friday the 23rd.

Wil

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #76 on:** October 19, 2009, 12:01:22 pm »

Ok that's what I thought. Smith Memorial is like the only one with a ballroom but I wanted to make sure. And it's free correct???

Tiamat · « **Reply #78 on:** October 23, 2009, 12:23:33 pm »

for those of us who are a bit unclear, semi-formal attire means what?

Wil · « **Reply #79 on:** October 23, 2009, 12:27:05 pm »

Yeah, I was intentionally unclear in the hopes that everyone would interpret that themselves.

I guess I was thinking in terms of long pants and button-up shirts for the gentlement and the equivalent for the ladies.

Wil

Tiamat · « **Reply #80 on:** October 23, 2009, 12:29:34 pm »

oh ok! cool then i got that covered ^^

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #81 on:** October 23, 2009, 12:44:48 pm »

The contest isn't anime exclusive I'm guessing. Game characters count also? (Cloud, Mario, Sora, and therefore disney characters, etc.)

I'ma coming as someone Super. With something meant to protect me from the rain...not a parasol.

I have a CD of various anime/game music that can be played randomly in any order. I'll PM the playlist.

AS far as i understand, its a costume contest for any kind of costume, not just anime or video game characters.

Tiamat · « **Reply #83 on:** October 23, 2009, 01:01:34 pm »

has first place's prize been determined, or is it still up in the air?

Wil · « **Reply #84 on:** October 23, 2009, 02:13:00 pm »

First prize was finally approved (and acquired) yesterday. Should have posted it. I'll update the main post right after this.

Any costume is ok for the contest. I'm going to be a Vault 13 Vault Dweller.

Wil

makichan · « **Reply #85 on:** October 23, 2009, 04:53:12 pm »

Sadly, my friends and I won't be able to attend. Two of us are sick and the other's are so busy with midterms that they won't be able to get done in time and drive up from Eugene.
Have fun for us! :'D

Wil · « **Reply #86 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:13:47 pm »

Well, those of us who aren't sick appreciate your sacrifice. Hope you feel better.

Reporting live from the event, the East Coast Swing lesson is one-third complete and the DJed music is set to start just before 8.

If you're reading this and plan to come, there's no better time to head up here.

Wil

Firemousey · « **Reply #87 on:** October 24, 2009, 12:02:25 am »

So you're Vault Dweller 13! I loved your costume and am a bit envious. I couldn't dress up in a costume so I dressed in a dress that I always wanted to wear out.

The Ball was fun! Are you guys going to plan another one?

btw - I was in the light purple-gray dress. Came in with Altair. =)

Sayda · « **Reply #88 on:** October 24, 2009, 12:27:26 am »

I had fun! Just got back, and had a shower. I also enjoyed your Vault costume!

Thank you for the gift certificate, I really appreciated winning it! 83

I was the Axel with the Roxas. .o.

Do you happen to know the girl I'm talking about? I never got a chance to tell her something. xD

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #92 on:** October 24, 2009, 01:31:15 am »

I dropped in a bit late as Mario with the last minute M hat patch and paper mustache...I just now realized that I was paper Mario! Next event that I come as Mario to, I am bringing a ? block with me for bashing and item holding.

Radien · « **Reply #93 on:** October 24, 2009, 02:36:19 am »

Hey there, I was the male Link that showed up.

I had a blast; it was worth the trip from Eugene/Springfield. I didn't know people quite as well as other events, but everybody was well worth talking to. Thanks so much for the gift certificate, Wil. It's the first time I've won anything with that costume, partially because I have yet to enter the cosplay contest at a con.

My only regret is that I missed the Zelda Temple Trance Remix that I requested.

Took awhile to get my dang costume on. But on the plus side we had a nice little mini-party in the bathroom, it seems...

TSJason:

Hey, that was you? I didn't know. We weren't formally introduced. Sorry you weren't there for long.

I recognized your costume from the con, so I knew you'd score somewhere in the top three spots. Was there cake at said party?
And yeah, I was first attempt Mario. A foothold to MEWcon when I'll be bringing, maybe wearing, a ? block full of useful handout items.

Firemousey · « **Reply #98 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:01:39 pm »

Your Mario costume wasn't too bad. I should have gotten more people to dance. It's always more fun when everyone dances together. =D
