VOCALOID 2013

[Armored-Heart]

Hey everyone! Thank you all for attending and making the 2011 gathering awesome! This was my first time running a gathering and I once again apologize for the lack of music (it was out of my hands) and for the confusion regarding the time change. For 2012 I'll do my best to make sure this gathering is even better. <3

WOOT!

[MokurenTattoo]

Sweet. I may be bringing along a Luka, Rin, Len, Meiko, Haku, and Taito.

[chibi*H A N A T S U K I]

Coolbeans! 8DDD

Soooo about the day the gathering is gonna take place...
I prefer it to happen on Friday. :U
If the other attendees are okay with it, of course.

[ICosplayNeji]

Most definitely Friday, Saturday is already pretty packed and Friday often get forgotten so there is plenty of open time slots.

[MokurenTattoo]

Friday would be awesome. 8D

[Armored-Heart]

I really like Friday too; Saturday just seems to always get jam-packed with stuff, and it's always nice to have things spread out throughout the weekend so there's always something to look forward to. c:

I'd also like to hear everyone's input about time suggestions; it wouldn't be too early in the day because I'm sure a lot of people have school, but I'd hate to have it conflict with things like MusicFest (wasn't there a FLOW concert at the same time as last year's gathering?). I was thinking no earlier than maybe 4 or 4:30ish, but it might be better to hold the gathering around maybe 5 or so? What do you guys think? <3

[MokurenTattoo]

Works for me.

[Armored-Heart]

I hate to bump the topic, but does anyone else have any input on the gathering time? c: It'd be nice if we could have as many attendees as possible. I'm currently thinking 5 pm on Friday; is that too early for those of you with school?

[chibi*H A N A T S U K I]

What the heck am I doing up this late? LOL

Weeeeeell, since I'm definitely not going to school on Friday...
4, 4:30, 5 or whenever is fine with me. (:
Although my friend might want to go to the MusicFest (depending on the band whose playing). Other than that, my friend and I are good with 5pm or wheneverrr. (:

[Touya no Miko]

I'll try to attend. I'll be walking around as Kaito from the Madness Of Duke Venomania.

[Dames]

I'll be going as Gakupo from the Madness of Duke Venomania~

[ICosplayNeji]

I vote for 5pm! ^^

[Armored-Heart]

Anyone have a guesstimate what time MusicFest is? I thought it was 6, but I'm not entirely sure, and I wouldn't want the gathering to conflict with anyone's plans of going. c:

[Armored-Heart]

Sorry to double post; but what about the gathering location? The place where our gathering was held last year can only hold about 40 cosplayers. If we end up blocking traffic, we'll have to relocate.

So, any ideas?

Personally I wonder/hope if there's another area we can go that's inside/under shade. I dunno about you guys, but as Miku I always overheat when I'm in the sun for very long. (Darn those black sleeves!)

[marisuga]

I'll be there as SF-A2 Miki!

I also have a friend (Mint on fanime forums) who will be there as Piko and another friend who will be there as... someone. not sure yet XD

Aaaany location suggestions anyone? xD;

Aaaany location suggestions anyone? xD;

First question I have..do we want to be indoors or outdoors?  I guess that's the first thing to address. I -think- I'm seeing a majority going towards indoor (though there is that one area near the Hilton side of the convention center outside..my husband and I did some shooting over there and there were a lot of trees. As long as nobody else has that area, it could be a good option, but it's a bit less-trafficked.

First question I have..do we want to be indoors or outdoors?  I guess that's the first thing to address. I -think- I'm seeing a majority going towards indoor (though there is that one area near the Hilton side of the convention center outside..my husband and I did some shooting over there and there were a lot of trees. As long as nobody else has that area, it could be a good option, but it's a bit less-trafficked.

Indoors would be preferrable, since the majority of the cosplays are probably rather heatstroke-inducing when in the sun for too long. I think I know the place you're talking about; if it's the same one I believe that's where the Zelda gathering was last year and where the Shugo Chara! gathering relocated to. It's basically to the left of the main entrance/fountain area, right?
