Cherry Blossom Festival Anime Costume Parade 2008

[gmontem]

I'm participating in the parade.  If timing is good, we can eat dinner at my cousin's Japanese restaurant in Pinole.  It's Happy Sashimi at 2718 Pinole Valley Road just off I-80.  Website is http://www.eathappysashimi.com/

Ah, a better choice than Miyako SF. ;)

Thank George for cropping your sig.

Hmm... I'm not much for the marching around thing but I will be there sampling food, I'm sure.  :-X

[Mizuki]

Hopefully my Rock Howard coat arrives in time (after numerous delays thanks to materials).

Hey, I'm cosplaying as your adoptive daddy, no homo.

[JME2]

Ah, I don't know if I'd be able to make it up, but if I did, it would be as Kisuke Urahara.

[_Rena_]

[ININ]

I signed myself up for the parade.  I'm cosplaying as Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicles.  Two years ago, the sword shop was selling swords on sale.  Need a sword for Syaoran for Fanime ^^

[Eurobeat King]

I'm going to bring my FC3S costume and have fun "drifting" in the streets of San Francisco for this year's parade.  8)  Hopefully the weather will be good else I'll just be there and take pictures.

Since I can't bring my car to Fanime (no room due to all the swap meet stuff i'm selling) this will the only time this year i'll have it at a cosplay-event until my new FC is made. 

See you all in 2 weeks!

[Shinsengumi]

I might bring my Shinsengumi outfit since I've never wore it the Cherry Blossom but I'm not sure yet.

Yeah Wondercon I was preoccupied with the masquerade and trying to navigate through all the other people to get to panels and the dealer's room, so the parade will be a nice time to kick back and hang out lol XD

As for the weekend of the 20th, I've looked at the schedule on the SCBF's website and it looks like the costume contest happens on saturday afternoon on the 19th. Edit: OK, THIS IS THE FASHION SHOW, NOT THE COSTUME CONTEST.The schedule is misprinted with the wrong event. Bart has told me about this because he got a reply from the coordinator of the cosplay contest. Disregard that, please.
The costume contest will happen on sunday morning as scheduled.

if you want to download both parts to the schedule of the SFBCF, here are the links:

Schedule of Events-SFCBF Part 1
Schedule of Events-SFCBF Part 2

It looks like they changed it around this year and i'm glad they did. :3

Spoiler costume for Contest: Sasori from Naruto.

It's gonna be a special version though. I also think lulz will be had with my cosplay. ^_^

[BunofGovt]

Crikey, I'm in Dallas this week for a training class and trying desperately to finish my outfit in my hotel room (meh meh).  This weekend will be crunchtime fersure.  If I can't get these arm band things done, or my belt or my wig or my jacket done, dunno what my cosplay will be  :o

See y'all there...

[quantbits]

I'll be there to document the whole thing with my camera from start to finish - maybe I'll join in the parade next year =).

By "camera", I mean a really big camera with a really long lens.  8)
