Official Fanime 09 Cosplay Gatherings List *Final List.... See you @ FANIME!*

[BSaphire]

The list has been updated and ALL prior unconfirmed gatherings have been listed in their requested time slots! *YEAH!!!

I do want to give everyone a heads up though... some time slots are getting VERY close to being blocked out. That means if your group is close to confirming a time I would highly recommend it. Here's  a re-post of how to do it ^^)

Arigato ^^

Now for the new guidelines:

#1 I will have a gatherings/cosplayer events check in table located on the first floor of the convention center.

#2 The gathering organizer/thread overseer &/or Coplayer event organizer needs to check in to the gatherings table 10 minutes prior to the start of your gathering/event. DO NOT send someone else to the table because you will be on my list not them.

When you check in I will have one of the gatherings staff go with you (or check in with you) to shoot a couple of group photos for Fanime to use. Please advise your gathering that Fanime will be taking photos of the group and if they do not wish to be in them to step aside. If they stay then they are giving consent to be photographed. This needs to be stated on your first post with the list of those attending your gathering. Feel free to copy the following and post it on your list post.

Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.

#3 Each gathering organizer/thread overseer &/or Cosplayer Events organizer needs to send me a pm prior to their time being listed on the Official Cosplayer Gatherings thread. In the PM to me the following needs to be done:

#3ASubject line is your gathering name &/or Cosplayer Event (if you are running more than one gathering then you need to put MULTI Gathering in the subject line)

#3BList each gathering name &/or Cosplayer Event, the URL for the gathering/event, requested Day & Time, location and/or meeting place individually. If you are running an event during a gathering please list the gathering also:

Example: Shonen Jump, http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,4426.0.html, Sunday 3 PM, L & MP = Fountains in Front Hilton side, EVENT = Otaku Game Sunday 3:30 PM or immediately following the gathering.
Shonen Weekly, http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,9938.0.html, Friday 6:30 PM, MP & L = 1st Convention Center.
Shojo Beat, http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,8501.0.html, Saturday Time TBD, MP = 1st Floor Convention Center, L = Fountains in Front

#3CThen list your First & Last Name (yes, your real name,) Your Forum Name, and your Badge Name if different. For Example:

Jane Doe, Forum Name = Lucky Charms, Badge Name = Jane's Lucky Charms (If they are all the same then just list your name and FN & BN are the same.

That is basically it. After you contact me I will double check your URL and info then post your requested info if available.

List has been updated!

IF your gathering is listed and I am still waiting on a PM with the info know that I still expect a complete PM from you before WEDNESDAY @ 11:59 AM or I will remove the gathering from the list and it will not appear AT Con.

All Gathering/Event organizers:
1. Check your info on the first post.
2. Make sure you check in 10 minutes PRIOR to the start of your gathering/event/rehearsal at the Cosplayer Gatherings/Events Table on the 1st Floor of the Convention Center Lobby Area.
3. Update any info on your first post of all your threads. (For those who are organizers that didn't start the thread make sure the post with the info is updated and re-post the link to the list and info.)
4. If you haven't submitted your gathering yet please follow the submission guidelines. Link is located on the first post of this thread.

List closes Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Once closed, any "UNCONFIRMED" gatherings or events will not appear on the Gathering Info Boards, Pocket Gatherings List (if provided) or at the Cosplayer Gatherings/Events Table. If you haven't submitted your gathering/event it will not appear in those places either.

There are no changes made at con during Fanime so make sure EVERYTHING is set before Wednesday, May 20, 2009.

Thank you everyone for all your hard work! :) I have talked with so many outstanding people this year and it has been crazy wonderful putting this all together!

yay fanime fun comming right now

[BSaphire]

2009 is over **( but now we can start planning those new costumes, great skits, fun activities, and talk with the many new and old friends we met until 2010 comes. I wanted to post the final poll results and say thank you to everyone for all the support this year. Look to the new threads for 2010 to give your feed back, list your URLs, take the 2009 poll, and find out what is coming up for 2010. I will be locking this one after this post.

Poll results for both Fanime & Cosplay.com Fanime 2008 Gatherings Info poll:

239 votes total:
167 votes for finding the info
52 votes for unable to find the info
20 votes for did not care either way

There were 65 "Official" Gatherings & 16 Cosplayer events: That boils down to one busy B *giggles* and it was CRAZY wonderful!

Squidges Cospeeps!
