So I didn't see one of these up - and I was quite appalled actually!
I was part of the FFVIII gathering last year, and I had an absolute blast! ^_^

Anyone want to come out this year?
Any ideas for fun activities/photo ops?

I didn't really want to post this on here so that people couldn't figure out our theme.
But, nonetheless I am here.

I am known as Oathkeeper to those who know me well. I am the writer of Candy Mountain Cosplay's "Riku's Journey to Candy Mountain," and I used to be a member of CMC until about two months ago. I performed the "too sexy" skit with them this year as well.
I have been known for writing original skits, and coming up with some of the best skits for smaller cons (considering those are the ones I attend most often). I have won two awards for most original/best performance, one judge's award for costumes, and tons of recognition via YouTube and word of mouth due to "Riku's Journey to Candy Mountain". For Fanime 2009, however, I have planned something completely different, and completely awesome.

I have helped my friends start a new cosplay group comprised of mostly people from the Sac Anime forums. We all live in the general NorCal area, and we are looking for two people to join us for our masquerade performance for Fanime 2009. The only requirement outside of costume-making and learning stuff on your own is being available for the rehearsal in December 2008. It will most likely be on the 28th or 29th of December, in the Sacramento area.
We are cosplaying from Vampire Knight.
Our entire skit is completely scripted and choreographed, with prelim sound recorded.

We are seeking two specific characters: Ichiru Kiryuu (mask/trenchcoat variant) and Zero Kiryuu (day class variant).
I am looking for people who are between 5'7" and 6'0". This is not to be prejudiced against people of other heights, but I'm a super OCD cosplayer and the rest of the "male" cosplayers from our group (including girls crossplaying as males) all fit between these heights. It also has to do with choreography and how it will look on stage.

I really have confidence in this group considering we are so prepared and the plot is genius!
If you are interested in joining this group for something that will be an amazing masquerade experience, please... reply!

Hey all!~

So I'm planning a photoshoot for next year, and I need some reference pics of the area, specifically the courtyard by the Civic auditorium. I know there are some nice lights there, columns, etc. Anyone have any pics of that area?

Thanks ahead of time! I can't find any pics of that space, so it would be awesome if you posted some links to me!

HEY ALL! Our official name is FRAGMENTS OF FANTASY! ^_^ woot!

OKAY ALL...

FFX: Sky Theme,
Song of Prayer

Kingdom Hearts Overture

other pieces (with listed instrumentalists)
FFVII: Flowers Blooming in the Church: needs flute, violin, 2 clarinets
FFIX: World Theme: needs keyboard, flute, 2 clarinets/OR trumpets, alto sax, bass clarinet

Hello all!
I go by Oathkeeper here, just so you know.

Me and my friends are trying to get a clarinet choir together so we can play some Uematsu music in the hallways (or maybe on stage?) during Fanime. We have music for a full clarinet choir, so if we can, we want to get AT LEAST 3 more clarinets, and AT LEAST 1 more bass clarinet.

Our set list looks something like this:
FROM FFVII:
Main Theme

FROM FFVII A/C:
The Promised Land

FROM FFVIII:
Eyes on Me
Waltz for the Moon
Fragments of Memories

FROM FFX:
To Zanarkand
Song of Prayer
Sky Theme
Suteki da Ne

FROM FFX-2:
1000 Words

We may not play ALL of these songs, but I have music for you if you are interested in looking at a part and finding out if you are capable.
At this point in time, we have:

Clarinet 1: (my friend Tim)
Clarinet 2: UMAI_Oathkeeper (myself)
Clarinet 3:
Clarinet A:
Clarinet B:
Clarinet C: Chimera (not on here, my friend)
Bass clarinet:

There are videos on Youtube with the songs if you are interested...

Please consider this! It would be awesome!!! ^_^
