Actually the only kind they had there was the white one with the black stripe, and one that was painted black and looked really horrible. v.v

I don't know what happened, but I tried to post a reply to this and it didn't show up. So here it is:

Why don't you try making the sword??? You could make it out of board and paint it. Or something. Heck, I'm sure you could find a tutorial online on how to make it. I had to find a tutorial to help me figure out how to make my Cardcaptor Sakura staff. And it would probably be cheaper than buying one.


I was going to make a nice quality one out of wood, working hard on the prop just to down scale too cardboard just isn't the same v.v and it probably to late to try to find someone else with the right power tools. oh well...

Pita Pit? Never heard of it, but I'm not a big sandwich person either.... Never said we had to eat while there xD

That's what I meant by 'board' haha. Sorry, I wasn't very clear. And if not wood, some kind of thick board could work. Craft stores have them, and it would be easier to work with than wood. You could double or triple it up, if need be, even.

they have salads there and stuff, soups. Just a meet thing so we will have much better sync when we do combat, a.k.a. taking group pix.

So, do we know when the Checkers is going to happen??? Also, I have a question, why are we playing checkers and not chess? Just out of curiosity, since it seems cosplay chess has been very common and I don't remember ever seeing cosplay checkers.

TokenBlackGuy

It's Checkers as far as i know. I would like it to be chess, who are we even playing, bleach has like no signup at all.

I thought we were just playing against ourselves, like Naruto characters versus Naruto characters. Oh, wouldn't it be cool if it were like, Shippuden versus original, or the "good" ninja versus Akatsuki! And I know it's checkers, I was wondering why?

BrightHeart76

All information for the checkers event can be found on this thread.

http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,13720.0.html

BSaphire is the organizer...I'm kind of helping.   ;)

Checkers should start at 9:30 that morning, there are 3 to 5 games planned.

We did checkers instead of chess because in years past we have had no luck running Naruto Chess.  When we started pulling it together this year I asked if people would be more interested in playing Cosplay Chess or Cosplay Checkers.  Checkers won in a popular vote, thus we are doing Cosplay Checkers.   :D 

However, if you want to watch Cosplay Chess Bleach will be doing that on Saturday.  It is a Bleach only event though.

Hope that helps!
Sometimes I'm glad I became a teacher.  Other times I wish I had simply become a ninja.

Eeri-chan

I prefer chess because it's more complicated, but I'm totally happy to play Checkers! I don't cosplay from Bleach. I lost interest in it ages ago.

And since it's Sunday before the Naruto gathering, I can totally make it! That's awesome! Hopefully there's still time for me to make it to the Pirates vs Ninja gathering if it's on Sunday before the Naruto gathering. Goodness, I don't think I've ever been so busy at Fanime before. haha. I also didn't have different characters to cosplay before, so this is exciting.

I've never been to pita pits. is it good?

It's delish! They have fantastic food, and lots of options. Plus, it doesn't make me sick afterward, which is a good thing in my book. It's must healthier than going to fast food or Johnny Rockets. They basically have sandwiches. It's like Subway or Quiznos, kind of. But better.

Sounds good. I think I'm in. Might bring another person along

Cool beans.  Sounds like nearly everyone is ok with Pita Pit.  I've got some ideas for how to incorporate people who don't want Pita Pit, but honestley I won't know if any of them work until we're at Pita Pit.  Let's see how it works out from there.   :D

I'll put up a poll for when to meet early next week.  Between now and then is the time to suggest times and list the reasons for your chosen time. 

Last bit of Meet and Eat business is where do we meet?  I'm thinking it would be best if we met somewhere at the convention center and walked down as a group.  That way no one gets lost and we have more time to talk without food in our mouths.  What do you guys thing?  Suggestions?

A lot of you are picking the options with "and other events BrightHeart forgot"...uh oh...what did I forget?  I know the Meet and Eat isn't on there, but that's cause the poll is for Sunday events and the Meet and Eat is Friday.  Did I miss something else?  Let me know so I can keep my official schedule (currently a row of post-it notes on my table that will soon become an actual list) up to date. 

Good news.  The bullhorn arrived in the mail today.  It looks much better than the one from last year...everyone should be able to hear me.  All of my cosplay peices have arrived and simply need some pressing for the older pieces.  I have about half of the BINGO and UNO prizes here already, the rest are on a UPS truck somewhere steaming toward my location.  I am all ready for Fanime!  YAY!!!!  Are you all just about ready?  Just a couple of weeks to go.

Picnic is the other event I'm starting to put the final touches on.  Please remember that EVERYONE is welcome at the picnic.  If you have friends or family who would like to join us we would love to have them.  Cosplay is not required.  This is bring your own lunch, but feel free to bring extra to share.  Some of you have mentioned that you worry about being a part of the picnic because of other gatherings at the same time.  I totally understand if you miss the picnic, but I figure we'll be there for an hour or more (eating, playing games etc) so feel free to head over when your gathering is done and join us if we're still there. 

Last but not least I will be turning in our photo shoot list tomorrow.  Is everyone ok with the list I have presented?  Any changes to the order or additions of groups need to be presented to me in the next day (before 5:00 p.m. Wednesday May 5, 2010).  The official photo list will not change after that.  We may add some groups if the need arises at the convention (it's hard to guess what cosplayers will be there unannounced) but for all intents and purposes the list I turn in tomorrow IS the photo list.  Let me know if you have any changes you'd like to see.

Everything sounds so awesome!!!

I think the best place to meet would be in front of the convention center at the fountain. Maybe we could bring a sign in case not everyone is in cosplay or is in a different cosplay? And I think the best time would probably be like four, because some of us will have to leave early for the swamp meet. I mean, if we were to go at 4:45 that would only give those of us going to the swap meet to sell stuff about forty-five minutes, and usually in large groups (especially with so many excited cosplayers getting to know each other) eating could take a while.

I doubt the CLAMP gathering would end before the picnic. Plus, I'm sure my friends will want to do a photoshoot, but if I have time I will totally stop by the picnic. I'm sad I can't make it to more of the Naruto events. :/ I'd love to play some of those games.

And I'm so bummed. I got the third to last piece of my costume yesterday, but it turns out that it changes everything about the costume! It's the exact right colour of Lee's costume, but the rest of the costume is a slightly different colour--so now I have to see if I can find a new leotard and leggings to match my outfit. Hell, I think that piece I got isn't gonna work. I'm so frustrated. Blarg. I mean, worse case scenario, I either don't have the long sleeves (and can get away with it because I'm the "sexy no jutsu" version) or I mismatch a bit. Still, it's annoying. -sigh-

Oh, and I don't remember, but on the photo list, do we have like an Akatsuki vs "good" ninjas shot? I think that would be awesome. Just a thought. :)

Bacchikoi needs some final touches, and as for the dance itself, i'm planning on teaching the full dance featured on the Dev-Parade video. :D

Also, i'm hoping that it'll be taught at the same place as the gathering as well. ^_^

Soooo....is everybody ready?! :D

I am a TERRIBLE dancer!  Like, it's a crime against humanity for me to "shake my groove thing".  However, I plan to do my very best.  Seriously guys, we need a large crowd of dancers to distract from my...unfortunate lack of dance skills.

As far as location goes.  I looked at the list.  Rozen Maiden will be at Fountains Marriot Side (our location) at 11.  Other than that it looks like the location is open.  We'll have to ask BSaphire if it's ok for us to use the location for Bacchikoi Dancing, but I think it'll be ok.  If not, we can always find an area, Sunday morning should be fairly low key...I think.  Moogleborg, can you PM BSaphire to ask?  I'm sure she must think I'm stalking her by now with as many PM's as I send.  That way if there is a problem you two can work out a solution together.  Let me know if that's a problem. 

YAY!  It's all coming together beautifully.  You guys ROCK!

Waw..... I finally done reading the post. I have working a lot more before I go to fanime. Yea!!

Thx brightheart. I will see how it goes. After all there is so many going on i need to see where to start.

Pita is fine. I dont mind at all. Um.. what time is going to be. O yea. Um....what is maltz that u guys talking about.

O_O It will be fun. Pirates vs Ninja. I know there is a comic book about it. That will be interesting. Just a though. It doesnt have to be.

@ Eeri-chan ~ Fountains in front sounds fine to me for meeting up.  Let's see how everyone else feels.  I'll figure out a way to identify the group closer to the convention.  A sign is either small enough to carry around easily but hard to see or big enough to see and too big to carry around easily.  Let's think about it some.  We have some time to work out the details. 

Sorry about your cosplay challenges.  I'm sure it will be great when you are done.  :) 

Regarding the Akatsuki vs "good" ninja shot.  It's a good idea.  And without going into spoiler territory it's hard for me to explain why this seems logistically very difficult.  I think we would do best to save this for fan, photographer, fellow cosplayer requested photo's at the end of the gathering. I'll stick around with the bullhorn for a few minutes to help pull together bigger groups if we need them.  As a suggestion it would be good to start posting on here if you want specific cosplayers to pose for any pictures.  Give them a heads up that you'll be looking for them. 

For example:

I'd LOVE to finally get a picture with the Sanin (Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru).  If a Jiraiya and Orochimaru would be so kind as to pose with this crazy Tsunade at the end of the gathering I would REALLY appreciate it.  Let me know.

@ruby19_4 ~ I feel your pain.  Not only is it harder to concentrate on work because my brain has moved into Fanime mode, but I have to work more hours to make sure my system will stay up and running while I'm away.  It's worth it in the end though.  :)

If you haven't had a Malt before you should definately try one.  I personally prefer a chocolate malt.  It's beyond words.

Eeri-chan

Hmmm. I see your point. That really could be difficult. Saa! Then I guess the pictures don't need any other things added to them! :) At least, not that I can think of.

And thanks. I'm sure it'll turn out, fine. I'm either going to have to find a new turtle neck to match the leotard and leggings I already have, or else find a new leotard and leggings. Taka. It's so frustrating. But at least I've got the costume, so if it comes down to it even though it's kinda... not 100% right looking I'll still be able to be Lee, at the very least.

Ohhh! And I definitely have people I want to find! I desperately want to find a Gaara! Like, for serious!!! I will search for Gaara with all my might and youthful spirit! Yosha!

I'd also really like to find a Kimimaro, if there's one there. I hope so. I don't think I've ever seen one before. Maybe I just missed him the last couple of years. But I'd really like to find one for pictures!

Oh! And a Gai-sensei to do the Nice Guy pose with!!!!!! That's very important too! And a Tenten would be awesome! 

Etto... sou. Those are the only ones I think.

I'm being TenTen all of Sunday. Or so I have planned. :3 And there should be a gai-sensei or two about. :) I'm sure there's tons of other TenTens too. :D

I don't really know the Bacchikoi dance xD but I can dance!

I've never had a malt(I had every look it up)... i may have to drag Orochimaru with me to try one as well.
Working and moving while fanime is only a few weeks away is indeed difficult (as well as trying to keep the cosplay items for getting packed)
