With The Will Of Fire! Naruto Gathering 2011!

[Chosen_Entity]

Would it be easier to just go as a group and buy lunch? Like we were originally going to do on Friday?

The problem with that is we can't do the games in a restaraunt.  I suppose I could just give the prizes away, but it would make me sad to put as many hours as I have into these games and not at least try to play them.  I'll compile a list of ideas, this one included, when Fanime gets closer we'll keep our eyes on the weather and if it's going to be yucky I'll put up a poll with all of the ideas.  So keep the ideas coming and we'll make a decision when we know more about the weather.   :D

How does that sound?

Playing it by ear sound good!

And massive lols about the ninjas!

Awww....I wont make it to the flow. Im stuck with the swap meet. Well thats ok. U guys have fun.

aw well I'll try and take pictures for you

Thx, but I think they did say that you cant take picture though. Dont worry. U have fun.

[ruby19_4]

Okay. Question for people who have bought things oversea's and used USPS for shipping. I'm super curious as to if I should buy another headband or not. So maybe you can help me and tell me what this means o-o. Has anyone else had this problem or no? And if you have how long did to get past that?  ???

There is a lot of table in the convention. We could have lunch and play games at the same time. Or we could try to find a secret place. We need to ask someone who is familiar with the place. There should be some quiet place. I keep seeing people taking picture at a quiet place.

Just looked at the weather again...it's looking better.  Keep thinking warm, dry thoughts for Fanime weekend!   ;D

ONE WEEK UNTIL FANIME!!!!!!! 

Don't forget to practice your poses!

[robina]

haha.. there's no special view in egypt (unless u're talkin about the pyramids) they r in the dessert not many area's overlook the pyramids actually.

[BrightHeart76]

We're updated again.  We're at 75 cosplayers on the list...5 more to reach our goal.  You know you guys know 5 more people who want to sign up for the gaterhing.   ;D

roth14 is doing really well organizing the breakfast gathering.  Remember to vote in the poll for where to meet that morning.

Friday.  Here is how I see this going down.  I plan to be in line early.  Like, my sister and I have cleared Friday for FLOW...so once the line starts we're going to head over.  If anyone wants to meet as a group to line up together I can help you organize it, but I plan to be in line much earlier than most people will be able to arrive. 

I do, however, have some fun glow toys for the concert (and some for the games on Sunday too).  I will post a picture of me in what I plan to wear on Friday once I get myself more together.  I will have a certain number of glow toys with me, I will give those out to people who find me in line until I run out of toys.  It's like "Where's Waldo" but I'll stare at you if you call me Waldo and I won't be wearing a stripped shirt.   ;D

After we all enjoy the concert we can do a quick meet up so that everyone knows who's who in the Naruto group.  From there we can go check out the swapmeet, video rooms, stage zero...what have you.  Or go off on our own.  I'm going to say we'll meet at the convention center, downstairs by the stairs on the right hand side at 10 o'clock.  Since the concert is supposed to end around 9, this gives everyone a chance to exit safely, change clothes if they want to, relax for 5 minutes and then head over.  I will be there with my BrightHeart Plushie, so I will be easily identifiable.   

Does that work for everyone?  Let me know, we can make changes.

A week from right now most of us will be at Fanime!  Woohoo!  Get those cosplays finished guys!  It is almost time!

[roth14]

Good to hear!

Ugh, so a bill hit that my mother wasn't thinking about at the time. And therefore is out of money - but she gets paid next saturday so it's going to be a major push to finish my costume in a single day. x.x' But she said we can go if the costume is done. So I hope we can finish it and my stupid headband comes soon!

You don't have to be in costume to come.  You are just as welcome in street clothes as you are in costume.  You can't do checkers or photos out of costume, but dancing the picnic and the games at the picnic will still be open to you. 

Also, if time gets too tight I have a Leaf village headband you can borrow.  You can make a pretty decent "random leaf ninja" outfit out of every day clothes.  I could lend you the headband and you'd then be able to take part in the photos too.  Just an idea.  Let me know.  :)

Tehehe. You're so kind. I cut my hair last week to go as Pein's second animal path. I refuse to wear wigs so yeah it had to be done! So I'm going to go as Pein's second animal path if I have to stay up all night to work on my costume and have no sleep during the convention. I just hope my mother doesn't riding in the car with me being super cranky. Two and a half hours in a small space could be some problems! xD. This would be my first convention so I kinda want to do it right and cosplay at it. =] But I'm not so good at checkers haha, so I don't think I will be playing those.

Wait what? You can be pieces? EXPLAIN PLEASE!

[roth14]

Okay, so basically this is either called cosplay chess or checkers. Two people play an actual game and yell out to the pieces (us) where to move. We the pieces kill, take, attack, etc... in a move that fits our character or something we like to do. :D
