>____> like I said in my other post... a Masquerade ball...
^^ you know it would be fun!! (hope it's not to late for this suggestion v.v )
Yay I would love to do this.
my gf has a formal dress to wear for the masquarade ball. All we need is a masks and fans.
I'd be up for any masquerade ball.
I WANT THIS TOO >:O I say if they dont, we find an empty room and put on some slow songs..or ball room songs..or..something.
>> I know we probably cant do that, I'm just kidding.
Or AM I?!
It'd probably be fun. >.> But how formal would it be? O.o? Would it require cosplay? Or just fancy dresses and suits or something?
I'm sure we'll have a lot of Tuxedo Masks though... >.>
that sounds like fun.. Tuxedo Masks would be th common thing but for a twist you can have a hollow mask, from bleach on? or would that ruin it?
we do need another dance room where they play slow dance songs since the other dance is just all fast dancing and dress up formal. I HAVEN'T SLOW DANCE NOR BEEN TO FORMAL DANCE SINCE PROM!
Oooh I'd love to dance in and dress up for this. Need to put my Friday dancing lessons to good use. :)
How about mysterious slow songs? It'll fit the masquerade setting. :3
Maybe even ones that border on romanticism.
It'll be more fun to have the dances some formal dance rather than traditional slow songs for couples. One of the ones where you switch partners also. So even if you come with someone, you'd end up meeting new people.
I wanna dress up like this

I definately would love to do this...think its possible for this year?
Has anyone sent an email, asking if we can have this event, we have a lil more than a month left, I think we could do it, if there's someone who can pull it together ^_^
i think that this event can be put together with the 20s/30s dance well. ^-^
i e-mailed jason ebner about tha 20s/30s dance, but i forgot to call him with mroe deatisl. :/ meh... *needs to do that*
20's/30's? I say the 50's! Greasers ftw.
Anyone read Dramacon?
I'll be the cool guy with shades not dancing in the corner of the room looking illegally cool.

That sounds good, I hope this idea gets off the ground soon, it'd be a nice alternative for those who want a different dance than what fanime already has.
I hope we can hear some word on this soon, because I may not have time to make a new outfit, if it's too late ;_;
:3 I would be up for this...if I can somehow sneak in my prom dress XD
Consider the Wizard Howell Jenkins arriving to this event. *bows*
If they do this, I might check it out, I've haven't slow dance since 2000.
Quote from: "~~Loktera~~"Consider the Wizard Howell Jenkins arriving to this event. *bows*
*____* will you dance with me howl <3
D: well I might as well go in my Dizzy dress since thats the formal thing i will have for fanime
:3
o.o wow i've been gone for a week and so man people replied XD.
this is cool! i'm glad everyone is up for it!! i'll email them ^^ too!
>.> no one's relpied to me yet... maybe I e-mailed the wrong person ^^;
well...... maybe next year v.v :(
how about we all just go around in dresses saturday. XD
lol that would be weird if I get stopped for pictures just because I'm wearing a suit.
Hm... Maybe Rin Tohsaka should join too~ <3
Quote from: "Chloe"Hm... Maybe Rin Tohsaka should join too~ <3
Starsky: Do it
Mebbe I'll dress up just for you. :P :-k
Does anyone have any word on if we're gonna have this or not? :O
yeeah and if so, which night???
I'll tell my gf to bring her gold dress and bring my nice outfit if you want to just dress up on Saturday.
From what SakuraKanegawa posted it looks doubtful we'll see a ball this year. :( But still maybe we can dress up on Saturday and have a mini-gathering. And then we wander around the con together holding signs that read something like, "We want Fanime Ball for 2007" lol. Then we invade the dance room and take it over. :twisted:
I'm just going to wear my regular clothes since I don't have a suit and plus I don't have the money to buy a suit unless I'll go in with my cosplay gear.
it doesn't sound like this event will happen ~_~
that's sad because I've been wanting to have a more formal dance, that had a theme at fanime for years now! And another year will go by and no ball for us V_V
but seriously there is nothing to stop you from dressing up like it's a ball. Like what has been said earlier we can have our own unofficial thing. If it isnt on Friday night Im sure some people would have reasonable time to pub it...
Who needs a Official Ball! We can just meet up all dressed up!
Wanna meet up when and where? Cuz I'm down on Saturday (Friday I'm gonna be busy wit H-Marathon and Dance)! Can someone make us some masks? Wanna eat somewhere as well or bring food?
NEVER BEEN TO PROM?
MISSED OR GONNA HAVE TO SKIP PROM BECAUSE OF FANIME?
FORGET PROM!! FANIME IS THE PLACE TO BE AND THAT'S WHY WE GONNA DRESS UP AND GATHER!!
If we do plan it next year, we can treat this as it can replace prom.
Ide attend this if it ever were to happen,
Ide prolly go as Franz's masquerade outfit from gankutsuou.
*nod nod*
would give me motivation to complete the costume. XD velvet ftw.

Saturday... check.
Time?
Location?
If it doesn't go against the Yaoicon events I'll be there...
Now... Goth Loli or chinese dress?
Crossplay is okay, right? ^_^
The only male outfits I have this year are Ed and Gau x.x
What about just a cosplay slow dance type dance? that'd be nice too.
I should think it would be ok for guys and girls to cossplay. Specially since suits are so expensive for guys to buy or rent.
Any how. Dressing up for the day or just showing up for the dance in formal attire would be fun. Anyone have a time yet? That way we could all get together for pictures.
We should really push for this next year. It could be a really big hit.
what time is Yaoi event starts?
Well, if we do dress up and stuff I'd like some sort of agreement from the DJ for some slow songs for a block of time. Maybe saying "Ok all you couples out there, grab your girl and let's slow things down a bit with some nice slow beats..." or whatever. lol Yeah I'm not a DJ...
Even for like, an hour or something that would be cool. I mean, at prom you barely dance for that long anyways...well most of the time. lol
However, my girlfriend will be out on a trip, so I'll be a stag! WAHHH!
I think Fanfic Guru has a great idea, that we can get a thing from the DJ to get a small block of time, even if for an hour, to just slow dance. Also something to possibly change partners or something....for those of us without a partner to dance with, but still want to go! ^^;
I'll be crossplaying doing Gothic Loli, so this would be great for me to do ^^
Preferably at night so it won't mess up me working for The Queen of Hats @.@
>__> What if one of the people can't dress up all formal? :O It should be a choice on if you wanna be formal or not :3 That way we still get to dance and stuffs <3
Quote from: "Ruby">__> What if one of the people can't dress up all formal? :O It should be a choice on if you wanna be formal or not :3 That way we still get to dance and stuffs <3
Yeah Ruby's got a good point. Not everyone will read this or be able to afford formal wear. Gothic Lolita better count. This will make sure that the least amount of people get left out...although perhaps we should make people try to get semi-formal like collared shirts and all that ^^; Not actually force people...just encourage....^^;

I can't even afford a tuxedo anyways so I can just wear collared shirt and tie.
It depends on what there show on of any night I'll check it out.
xD <__<; So if it's just encouraged instead of enforced, it should be okay. XD As long as people get to slow dance it should be nice <3
<_< but yeah. I dun have anything formal except my prom dress which is probably...*pokes it* either too big or too small for me. >:[ not sure which at the moment. Lol :?
>_>;;; And other than that, I dun think I have any really formal shirts or anything. :O Oh well. XD Something will be figured out...
Maybe it should just be like, people who know about this, already know they can come formal if they'd like, and for those who happen to drop by (who aren't on teh forums for example), can just drop by in their normal clothes. :3
...Most otaku that I know of, aren't gonna bring collared shirts or ties with them to Fanime to just wear around the convention center. XDD o__O; unless thats how they dress...
BUT ANYWAYS...
..I can always steal a few ties from work ;D Although they are HIDEOUS. :roll:
Yeah I think the whole point should be that it is ENCOURAGED. We should NOT force people, as that would ruin the whole vibe of "We want to include EVERYBODY here". ^^;
Perhaps rather than saying "Hey can you play slow songs for an hour?" it would be better to ask the Dj to throw a couple of slow songs in between the other stuff. At all the school dances I went to there were way more fast songs than slow songs any ways.
Since this isn't a true even yet, I don't think it should matter about dressing up formal. Though, if it does become a real thing next year it should be Cossplay or Formal only. Which means you have to be in a costume, fancy-type skirt or dress, and guys wear a collared shirt.
Just my two cents there.

Well what if the guys want to wear a dress?@.@
Although yeah I don't think many people are talking about an enforced dress code thing, but we SHOULD talk to the DJ ahead of time to get a small block of time to slow dance. Even if it's only like 30min or like several 15min segements ^^;
Also I don't know how to fast dance and it's a lot harder to wing that :cry: :cry:
I'm surprise that some of you are willing to crossplay for the formal gathering even though it disturbs me.
Quote from: "OniCourseMusha"I'm surprise that some of you are willing to crossplay for the formal gathering even though it disturbs me.
I've never seen a formal ball gathering with crossplay, It would be interesting to see.
What can I say? I identify more with being female then I do male ^^;; Besides, I bet you wouldn't say that so much if it was a GIRL wanting to crossplay or something @.@
An for the record I'm not doing this because I'm secretly gay or anything. I'm 100% into women ^^;;
well, i actually did make a dress for this. It has lace, ribbon, angle wings. Even a mask!! XD it's really formal... so i'll stick out like a sore thumb ^^;
I think it should be sometime saturday night. there's no way in HELL that i'll wear i big poofy dress for more than a night... XD
Just throwing this out there-
What if I got some time on Sunday for this on Stage One?
I have the place from 10am until 8pm, but I could see if Dance is willing to cut me a little slack and let me go until 9pm.
Biggest problem: masquerade is on Sunday. It starts early, but I have no clue as to when it ends. Most people (myself included) will probably be there until it finishes.
Another problem: I have no songs or DJ.
Mmmh. Yeah. Which is why it seems like the best option is to convince the DJ on a saturday or something ^^;;
hmmm... do you have a computer that we could hook an ipod up to? or a cd player? i have TONS of songs and could set up a play list... :D
This is great!
well... as long as there's amps to play the music on XD
Mmm.....you mean as long as this shaky plan actually WORKS? ^^; Yeah, because it would REALLY suck to go there and have it totally crash. T_T
Any staff people here who could work something out for us? Even if it's for a short time. We don't even need it listed all formal style ^^;;
Quote from: "Ayanami Rei First Child"Any staff people here who could work something out for us? Even if it's for a short time. We don't even need it listed all formal style ^^;;
*ahem*,
I run MusicFest. I have the dance room until 8, maybe 9pm. I have a sound system, lights, a dance floor, and a place and time.:D
W00t! It's on then! For the win! I can't WAIT to go! It'll be soooo cool!! <3 <3 <3 <3
yaaay ^^ I cant wait to dance my pants off LOL <3

Until 8 or 9? So wat time we meet then?
Yeah that's a good point. If it's on saturday the later the better for me....I gotta work for the Queen of Hats ^^;;
How about this?
We start it at 6:30 PM (that way people can grab some food around 5:30 or something with their dates) and go til 8:30 PM?
That way, plenty of time for dancing, and it won't collide with the 9 PM programming?
I think that would be a good idea. Even I (who will be thoroughly single) may go just to dance with ya'll.

Well I'll be VERY much single myself Fanfic-san. The best I can hope for is some crossplay fangirl to want to dance with me or something, although she might not after finding out I'm a straight guy :cry: :cry: :cry:
lol, ill be going single.
when i heard "ball" i thought ballroom dancing.
THAT im good at, and salsa.
but i wont be pressing my luck, ill need a partner first! HAHAAAAAA XD
wait I'm confused so this IS happening? I read through the posts, but it just makes me more confused, can someone state what the
-location
-day
-time
is lol? Hopefully if this is on saturday it doesn't conflict with the kamijo events since my bf is really looking forward to that. If it's on sunday I won't be able to because i'm not dancing in my masquerade costume lol
I don't have any special outfit for this ball though T_T
If we will be using Tony's help, it'll be on Sunday.

i only wish it wasn't on sunday....
but oh well, as long as it's happening!!
*dances around and squeals like the 15-year-old fangirl that she is* >_>;;;
I guess count me out, I really wanted to go too. Sunday is so busy, and I don't want to risk dancing in my costume for the masquerade either =/
If this happens next year, can we make it on saturday or even friday? I mean ever since I heard that other cons had alternative dances besides the usual 'rave dance' I've wanted fanime to have one too, like others have stated.
Of course when fanime finally has it I won't be able to go. *sighs*
I think Tony already said that he's got everything he needs at the top of this page, didn't he? He runs musicfest and says he has the Dance room until 8 or 9 PM...
I think the only thing he doesn't have is a DJ. Maybe Jinnai could do it?
Hrmmm...

Hrmmm...
and that's saturday from the post that he made. well, if you are willing to fly him over for this, then I highly suggest you do. I knew I forgot to ask Tony about this last night. -_-;;;
First and foremost, I need a "DJ". At this point, that probably means "Load burned CD, push play." I already asked Jinnai if he would come down, but he needs transportation and a room - which I don't have... :(
Second, we need to establish a time. Let's Vote!
Saturday, 7pm ish to 8pm ish. (Conflicts with MusicFest.)
Sunday, 6pm ish to 8pm ish. (Conflicts with Masquerade.)
Third, I need to make sure my staff can handle this extra event (especially if it's on Saturday). I'll ask them; you guys figure out what sounds best!
Only if all three items work out will we have a ball... it would be in the Dance room, SJCC room B. (Same place as the dance two years ago.)
Well I have a bed in my room free from when my friends totally cancelled on me....Although before I share it I would like to talk with the guy first a little or something. ^^;;

His aim sn is VivaJinnai. Also, Are you willing to pay for his flight? If you guys find a way to pool your $ together, then it can be done. Talk to him on AIM, since he usually comes online at night. I would like to help, but I'm already financially stressed out as well.

yes please let's vote! I want to have some chance of going to this, i personally don't care for musicfest so I have no issue =P
I just hope there'll be staff, to help out, because saturday and sunday are so busy.

Well, here's my 'vote' on it:
I say we do it Saturday, depending on how 'ish' the 'ish' is, maybe 6:30 to 8:30 or something like that. Masquerade will most likely be less crowded than Masquerade. (Not that it won't be popular, just the Cosplay competition always has a humongous turnout).
As for a DJ, if it's simply a matter of swapping between dance tracks and slow music tracks, if someone has good mixes, I'll be more than willing to pop them in and out and press play. As long as relatively little skill is involved.
Heck, we have enough time that we can arrange which songs we'd want on the track list even. How about it? Get some ideas for dance tracks and slow song tracks. Sounds good to me.
The extra staff thing I'm guessing is in Tony's hands, however, if they are willing to do it based on certain times, it's fine if we have to make a few adjustments to make sure that we can hold the ball.
So, in short:
1) Saturday evening. 6:30-8:30 is ideal. Would like to get at least an hour. Maybe 6:45-7:45?
2) I can plug in tracks if we can get the CDs made and people want to vote on which songs we listen to.
3) Hopefully Tony will be able to get his Staff to help us out on this. If it's a matter of time that they don't want to be working, we can limit it down to 6:45-7:45...for simplicity's sake.
How does that sound to everyone?
EDIT: Where does Jinnai live and how much would it cost for his ticket?
Yeah that IS something to be considered if we're all supposed to pool money. I mean there's a HUGE difference between $300 and $1,000+

How does that sound to everyone?

Las Vegas, Nevada. His aim sn is VivaJinnai.
Looking at the prices from Southwest, it's only about 220 bucks for the ticket.
I am willing to help pay for this so that Jinnai can come and DJ for our ball.
If you wish to help, PM me and we'll arrange for you to meet up with me and give me some cash. If there are 4 others, we can split it 50 each way.
We'll see how this goes.

You guys do that and I'll contact Jinnai. I won't be able to help financially, but I'm willing to go pick him up at the airport. It's the least I can do. :D
yeah sat. sounds good.
as for a DJ couldn't we just get 2 burned CD's of dance tracks...? that would last about 3 hours. i could get those easy, just takes some CD borrowing and stuff like that :D. just post what songs you want, i'd space it out that one of every 3 songs is slow.
if not, i can put in 20 for that DJ ... or maybe 30, depends, but the 2 or 3 CD's sounds much cheaper if you ask me o.~
I'm so happy my idea is working <3 <3 <3 ^^
Just spoke to Ryu, and I humbly cast my vote for Sunday evening.
Does anyone know what time the Y-Bingo is occuring? I'd happily come Saturday if it doesn't conflict with that.
Now, is this going to be a masquerade, or more of a formal?
x: ah music feeest T3T
well :] when the official times are set i shall place my vote
It has to be later in the night, because saturday is the busiest day for The Queen of Caps in whom I work for and she's understaffed that day >.<

i think we should all wear masks, it's be fun and they cost like 98 cents XD
then comes the glitter glue :D
This was supposed to be semi-formal. You know like khakis and collared shirts....no need for an actual tux and tie kind of thing. It's just a normal dance, just with cos/crossplay as well ^^;
yaaaaaaaay sounds like so much fuuuuuun *dances and squeals again cuz i'm cool like that X3*

Already have one. :3 Its awesomeness that I made at a friend's b-day a few years back.
Tried to talk to Jinnai the other night, sent me to his booking agent. I have yet to send an email...
I'm not sure if this will work out as far as getting the DJ. In any case, I can plug the burned CDs in. No track ideas yet?
my opinion
I say lets just play someone's c.d.'s, for such a last minute event, I don't expect a DJ
Actually I'd rather just use someone's c.d.'s for those who offer them to us ^_^
Are we going to get a poll up for the date and time ?

Added more options to the poll. So go vote people.
It's not possible to delete the poll and create a new one? Those who already voted cannot recast their vote.

Ok fine. I'll do that.
it should be a choice to dress formal or not....
another chance to break out that old prom dress or tux ^^
There should be a choice to have it at 10pm or something after those events. ^.^ Like a late-night dance.... It'd be more romantic~/intriging/magestic/etc. XD

yeah cause I can't vote either yet so please change it.
To me it'd make more sense to have it on saturday, because musicfest doesn't generate as big of a crowd as the masquerade does.
Nessa: I deleted the poll and put the new one in it's place.
Now go vote people.
I say both days after 10pm, really. :O It wouldn't be conflicting with anything, amirite?
Unless Der Cosplay goes past 10pm again this time >>;; *cough*
[EDIT]: Two days later, I realise that it wouldn't conflict with Der Cosplay anyway...Seeing as how thats on a Sunday. I'm dumb. XD lol
I'm looking forward to this i'd totally skip musicfest for this ^_^!!!!!
I like the masquerade too much, and 10 is too late for me to stay in san jose ^^; but if it was at 7-8 it'd be perfect!
I STILL don't have anyone to dance with. We should start hooking up to form some pairs or something. Try to get as many people hooked up with dance partners as possible beforehand...we can always switch later, but it'd be good to get a couple of songs in together first for those of us without dates an stuff :cry: :cry: :cry:
Quote from: "Ruby"I say both days after 10pm, really. :O It wouldn't be conflicting with anything, amirite?
Dance is in the room after 9pm.I still need someone to step up and be a DJ/provide me with tracks.
I need this by Saturday.I think the staffing will be ok.
I can DJ (And by DJ I mean put the CD in and press play, and if I have a track list for the CDs I can play 'requests' by putting the CD in and skipping to the track they want, and then press play. lol). Anyone else want to make the dance CDs? Two of them at about 80 minutes should be fine. Maybe 3.
We should probably have one with slow tracks like "A moment Like This" etc..etc...
And then one dance/house one
and maybe one R&B CD...

havent you ever gone to a dance? go stag, hang out by the wall, and during the last 2 songs find someone and ask them to dance. then go home and regret not making a move sooner.
ahhhh high school.

Um....well I did managed to dance with two girls I hung out with...but they were both totally underaged. I hung by the wall and no one noticed me and I DID ask one girl to dance, but she TOTALLY rejected me! Then later I saw her dancing with my friend, and that totally hurt :cry: :cry:

After 9p.m? what day?
gmomt- yeah i agree, I think if people want dance/house mixes that's the purpose of the other dance ya know??
That's the reason why some of us suggested a "ball/alternative dance" so that we had the option to be more formal, or do ballroom dancing etc~
i for one encourage formality, what's a masquerade without the masks? o.~

I'm sorry, I was under the impression that we were floating more towards a Prom-esque type dance. You know, a better mixture of slow songs with the faster tracks.
So you just want all slow songs then? If you want to make CDs of the songs you would like to hear Gmontem or what the tracks would sound like, let me know or you can volunteer to take care of the music.
how long are we letting the poll go for?
I have a mask somewhere, but I don't know if i want to carry it around XD;

Till Fanime basically.
Well if it IS a masquerade then someone needs to get some masks for sale or something....@.@
Crack out the Johann Strauss Jr... (Tales from the Vienna Woods, By the Beautiful Blue Danube)
Waltz, anyone?
One of the "Orchestral Game Concert" CDs has a waltz arrangement of one of the Dragon Quest games. I'll check later tonight at home for the title.
There's also "Waltz de Chocobo" from the FFVI Piano Collections. Too bad there isn't a "Tango de Chocobo", or is there? XD
And of course there's "Dance of the Balamb-fish" from FF8. I just hope the male dancers don't try to act drunk on the first half of that piece. ;)
FanFicGuru, I didn't suggest that all songs be slow. My comment was about the genre of music you suggested -- dance, house, R&B.
That'd be perfect... classical music with that special Fanime flair...
I have quite a few standard old-fashioned waltzes I could bring, should anyone want them.

Yeah the guy she was dancing with was pretty crazy. Said I was 3rd level null demon, even though I'm an exorcist..o.o;; I'm STILL jealous that he got to dance with her instead of me!! That's why I'm trying to get dance partners NOW instead of later and get my hopes crushed.
Like the time I asked my cute neighbor girl to dinner my treat...I left it open...she said yes. Then later she knocks on my door only to tell me that her b/f wouldn't let her do it! I mean earlier when she first moved here she was SO checking me out! I didn't even know she had a b/f!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
That's a 'Double Ouch!' right there
Quote from: "AbsolutelyCursed"That's a 'Double Ouch!' right there
Yeah. Suffice to say I'm screwed if I'm just asking some girl I don't really know to dance or just ANY of that stuff. 3/3 I got shot down. That's why online is better, I get the chance to let them know me and work in my charm. to let it slowly infiltrate their system until I'm irrestible. Unfortunately I don't have any girl anywhere near my age to go with to this ball :cry: :cry:

aka you don't try and take pictures of whats underneath my skirt like the last Fanime dance I was at..
Lol, thats what fanime is about, meeting cool new people.
shit, ill dance with anyone who asks me. XD i can get jiggy with it. Besides ayanami, i dont think anyone would really be offended by being asked to dance. i certainly wouldn't. XD
AHHHHH one week guys! *EXCITED* i just hope theres SOME ballroom dancing.

What does "going stag" mean?
Well you set boundaries and I will follow them ^^;;
i already know who i'm gonna ask out for this ^^
so you'll see me there =3
Whee, I already have my date as well! ^_^
Stag just means I'm going without a date is all.
Ohhhh! Well that's cool then. As I said I will respect the boundaries that you give me ^^;
People are welcome here to greet me during the ball. I don't mind if one of you want to dance wit me since I'm a nice guy but as long my gf agrees or don't mind.
Hummmmmmmmm that reminds me I don't have a date.
Quote from: "Shinsengumi"Hummmmmmmmm that reminds me I don't have a date.

Any craft store has them for only a dollar. I got mine at Joans.
Hmmm....I might just have to do that....
I'd love to dance with a Hinata o.o;
Hey guys!
I find that dates are overrated for these things... because if you have a date, you're bound to them the whole night and cant dance with other people.
Or maybe i'm just in denial because I couldnt get a date for prom XP
Well I'm not even looking for a date....just girls to dance with is all ^^;
x: i dont gots a date to this ball thingee XD so meh i will dance with whomever I feel like
;3 or i can be the little lolita or dizzy in the corner~
D: i hope its on both days after 10, i cant afford to miss musicfest

Man, this would be an awesome opportunity to show off my new ballroom dance skillz. Or something.
Also, if it got to be big, I can see it being a really great place to meet people! You can actually see them, you get to dance with them, everyone is dressed up all fancy... sounds positively awesome!
Also, I can't be the only one who's ever wanted to waltz to Margaret from Madlax. God, just thinking about it makes me jelly inside.
Did this ever get finalized? I'm really curious if this got off the ground.. because a ball would be an awesome thing to attend. Any word? I might just throw in a dress just in case...
... now if only I could find my other glove!
Yeah this DID get finalized....it's TOTALLY happening....we've even got a timeframe....click through the records to check and see...
Woot. :3
All it needs now is to not go up against Ycon events :p

I looked through the archives and I'm kind of confused. Can someone clarify when and where this is happening? Also, where can we get masks?
Quote from: "mDuo13"I looked through the archives and I'm kind of confused. Can someone clarify when and where this is happening? Also, where can we get masks?
As far as I know we set up a poll to pick a date.
The location is Dance room, SJCC room B from what i heard from tony on hear.
You can buy masks at almost any crafts store- joann's, richard's, michael's.
I got my mask from my French teacher. :lol:
She had some left-overs from when her Freshman class was making Mardi Gras masks.
*puts on the laughing mask face as mask =3*
I got my mask for 79 cents at Michaels, spray painted it, and used a hot glue gun to put sparkles on it. Woot..
On a more important note.. Has anyone posted this on the gathering info in the cosplay part of the board? It might attract more people and make it a little less confusing as to when it actually is. I've been following the thread and I'm still kind of confused as well.
How many of you are actually going to dress up for this?
I plan to have a dress-up version of my crossplay... throw in a shirt, bow-tie, top hat and mask....
I plan on dressing up for this. <3
definatly dressing up.
... maybe over dressing XD (made a dress o.O)
:cry: I've been rejected by Kazuko-san!! :cry:
Hrm, I'ma just dress normally. >.>; Dont have a dress.
But anyway, THIS SHOULD BE LOTS OF FUN! ^_^
Quote from: "Ayanami Rei First Child"Yeah this DID get finalized....it's TOTALLY happening....we've even got a timeframe....click through the records to check and see...
Nonono, this has not been confirmed. I still haven't heard from
anyone giving me solid details about getting me a DJ or just music, and so the
room was booked. So far,
this is not happening.BUT.
I have another open time slot. Thursday night, pre- and early-reg only. Our other plans fell through, so this is probably the best chance to do something, and it can actually be at night. It will be totally last minute and totally fan-run, but
who wants to step up and actually do this?
count me out if it's on thursday :cry:
I totally can NOT make it on thursday! I already told my hotel to drop thursday, because nothing was going on!!
I could've sworn you said it was on and we had that one time slot open @.@
Quote from: "Ayanami Rei First Child"I totally can NOT make it on thursday! I already told my hotel to drop thursday, because nothing was going on!!

me too!!!!
Can't make it on Thursday either. No point in me driving almost 2 hours to just go to that only to have to drive 2 hour back and then drive back down on Friday...
BLEH.
Can't we just find a location and have a mini-gathering and the like?
not happening * sniff sniif* *goes into sad mana mode* :-({|=
Sunday is now booked solid. Saturday, I still have 7-8pm; Thursday is open all night. But I still need someone to DJ.
It's already 3 days after the Saturday deadline. FanFicGuru tentatively volunteered, but I haven't been contacted directly by anyone and the music hasn't even been decided on yet... can you see why this isn't official?
Yeah. Understandable. Either way I don't think an actual ball with music will happen, but I'm still game for dressing up and having a gathering. Is anyone still up for this?
Quote from: "Karisma Black"Yeah. Understandable. Either way I don't think an actual ball with music will happen, but I'm still game for dressing up and having a gathering. Is anyone still up for this?
I still would like to see a gathering happen. Anyone up for Saturday? Don't know what time though. :-k
x: if its on thursday or saturday i cant go T^T cause i have to be at music fest since my friends are dragging me there and its a no way out situation x:
and thursday i have classes x: and i wont be at fanime till friday
Too t too true no ones going to go to the ball on thursday cuz evryones going to be busy to get ready for friday and no ones going to want to go on thusday then come back and go back on friday its either a ball at fanime or we can go to some ritzy restaurant and show off (and just order really cheap drinks a.e water) if this doesnt happen its going to be really sad alot of people were loking forward to this as a romantic night... plus i wanted to celebrate my birthday early at the ball :arrow: (btw my b-day is june 2) :idea: if it doesnt happen we can think of something else :idea: :lol: [size/][/code]
Guh, time slots are filling, Thursday night is no good for me, and Saturday I have to be keeping an eye on my sisters.
Looks like this'll just be a gathering...sorry people.
Quote from: "FanFicGuru"Looks like this'll just be a gathering...sorry people.
Can we come up with a date, time, and location for the gathering before that one's too late, too?
Well Tony was saying Thursday's open all night and Saturday from 7-8PM...so those sound like the two choices at the moment.
i say we do it satur day its better than nothing at all i guess 8-[
I sent an email to Tony asking to confirm Saturday from 7-8 PM to make it a Fanime BB gathering, we'll see what happens.
I guess that'll have to work. Ah, well.
Ok possibly Sat 7-8pm, but where?
Do we have a backup location and time for the gathering if that one fails?
Quote from: "gmontem"Ok possibly Sat 7-8pm, but where?
Do we have a backup location and time for the gathering if that one fails?
Let me know too. Cuz I want to celebrate something special wit Ruby-chan.
Interesting.
If it's Saturday from 7-8 I'll have to be in full Sweet Lolita regalia anyway, as I need it for the immeiately following event, but I'd be glad to drop in :D
saturday is good, looks like no one can make it thursday. if you need music, it's only an hour long and someone can just bring a CD mix >.>, i will if it's necessary, so like i said before, request songs, and request them NOW. there's only one day left. (i wouldn't mind DJing myself, if that's what you need.) as far as Japanese songs go, if you want Anime track you're going to have to upload it on Yousendit.com and give me the link cause i'm limited to Jrock in that area.
Contact:
[email protected] and messenger.(i don't like AOL)
SakuraKanegawa, FanFicGuru, can you please try to leave a note by the info desk if you guys hear from Tony about the 7-8pm room (where is this again?). And if that plan fails, please write down an alternate meeting place and time for an alternate gathering. Oh and sign it with your username, too, so we know who wrote it. ^^
ah well.. I can't make it on Saturday so whatever, I guess it works out for the best (since my dress hasn't arrived from Boston yet).

can do, now he just needs to reply XD
and since you people are not giving me songs i'll just picks some, and there will be Jrock o.O
i really hope he reserved the spot. how an i contact him if he doesn't go in the site again??
i can try to find some anime music too. >_> bring your own CD's if you want requests.
=/ didn't get to do it this year... makes me sad v.v
but i was still wearing my dress around if anyone saw XD
the white poofy one with pink ribbons and wings
Did you get my yousendit link? I sent some mp3s at the last minute (Thursday) even though it was probably too late. But yeah too bad about the Ball. :( I dressed up on Saturday night though so if you saw a guy with rabbit ears wearing black dress pants, a black tie, a blue dress shirt, and a jacket, and carrying a camera bag that was probably me. Ryu told me OniCourseMusha and his lady dressed up, too, but I didn't get to see those two for a pic.
yeah i got the link but i talked to Tony and the ball was a no go v.v
Sorry everyone... :(
I really wanted to make this happen, but by the time I got my butt in gear it was already too late. It turned out the Dance guys really needed me out by 8pm anyhow, so I guess it wouldn't have worked in the first place. I'm sorry I got your hopes up, if at all. :(
That said, maybe we can try again in 2007... FanimeCon needs everyone fan-based event it can get, I say...
I'd do it on a Fri, cus sat., and sun. are the best rave days.. and no one wants to miss that...
if we can next year i want to help ><
^_________^
Well I was really dissapointed, but I STILL managed to have a TON of fun!! It'd be awesome to go to it in 2007! It turns out the dress I was going to wear, but never got in time, didn't fit me anyhow ^^;; This way I'll have plenty of time for alterations.

LOL hopefully by next year I'll have a dress shirt that fits. The one I was wearing was maybe two sizes too big. I didn't realize that until I put it on in the hotel room. XD;
Well it's SO better to have something be too loose then to be too tight....ESPECIALLY when it's tight enough to cause pain @.@
I dressed up for this too and was kinda bummed it didn't go down.
Anyone see me wearing a poofy burgandy formal dress, a black cape, and a sparkly mask that night?
Heh.. I even played DDR in that thing. lol good times.
Yeah I think I saw you Tea-san!!
Although I would be shocked at those people who did NOT see me.
6' 4" natural Red/orange hair. With freckles. ESPECIALLY on my arms.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!
but u mean like feather masks and formal dresses, right?
A masquerade ball sounds awesome! Though I would only be able to attend if the Masquerade isn't happening at the same time.
Yeah I managed to miss that stuff AGAIN!! @.@
Oh well....I still managed to have a lot of fun ^^
Looking foward to the possibility of having a ball next Fanime *_*
Also if we do....we should make a hookup page so people can get a dance partner ahead of time, as to encourage people to actually go in. I know a lot of people get discouraged if they don't have someone to dance with, and some of us are too shy to ask random strangers. Not to mention sometimes we do ask girls...and then their friends/lovers/girlfriends steal them away :cry: :cry:
>< so want to have one next year... though... i'll have to spend 300$$ making ANOTHER dress @.@
Oni chan and I dressed up anyway and went to the gakufest ^_^ although i wished we could have danced th night away a la cinderella style but oh well it was still fun
I'd love to COSPLAY and LEARN to ballroom.
I'd be fun... but I don't know how to dance ballroom. LOL.
its okay if u go to fanime next year i can teach u how to ballroom dance hif u want ^-^ id be more than happy to its easy .. well it was for me..*giggles* :D btw ayanami rei i never got to dance with you :(
I'm sorry that you never got to dance with me. Although I don't remember you asking. I might be free next Fanime ^^;;
