Shout-out to the lady that helped guide me out of the bathroom after I got my Reaper mask back on (on Saturday afternoon)! You were probably the ONLY person that was aware how tough it must have been for me to wear that thing and you don't know how MUCH I appreciated the help! :)

General Convention Discussion / Re: Fanime and getting older
May 30, 2013, 12:26:01 AM
I'm totally an old fart when it comes to conventions. I'm only 23, but I've been to anime cons since 2005, so sometimes I have a jaded view on them nowadays (not to mention I really don't keep up with anime anymore O_o; ).
I will have to say that it is harder when the crowd is a lot younger because they tend to stick within their circles quite a bit (Maybe they're just a wee bit shy?). At least, that's what I felt with this con. When crowds are older...it's like a bro family. Seriously though, when I was at DragonCon a few years back, I had a much better time mingling with those that were late 20s and older (the drinks helped too. Haha). I also tend to like the "energy" of a chill environment than a super hyperactive one. Yes, I'm an old grump. =_=
I doubt there's ever going to be an anime con aimed strictly for the older crowd (though I hear AX has a more mixed crowd than Fanime does), so onwards to more comic cons! Woo!

Aahah, and don't worry, Redstarship! You looked so flippin' amazing and I had never seen anyone cosplay the Reaper before, I was more in awe than discomforted by it. xD I hope next time the mask isn't so hard on you; when you said that you felt you were gonna pass out I actually started to get a bit worried, so I'm glad you got out of there safely. <3
Aw thank you so much! >w< That costume was a labor of love! I definitely hope I can work something out with that mask for next time. I don't cosplay as much as I used to, so I always tend to forget the "functionality" part of cosplaying. >_>;

Had a fun time at the gathering! (again, I was The Reaper)
Sorry if I bumped/hit/kicked into anyone or make anyone feel awkward (I've noticed all my "scary" costumes tend to do that. Haha). As I've said before, I really could not see very well in that costume and the mask was blocking all the blood flow in my face. That's why I had to leave early (wish I could've stayed longer!). Hopefully next time I'll modify that costume so it doesn't kill me! T-T
Looking forward to the gathering photos!

Guess I'll go ahead and post here since I'm not having any luck so far (then again, it's only a day after the con. haha)
Anyways, so here's my line up and I hope someone's got some shots of me!
I was Katherine (Catherine) for a little bit of Friday and all of Sunday:
The Reaper (Persona 3,4) most of Saturday (I don't have a full pic for this unfortunately):
(Here's concept art of the character)

And a stray sheep (Catherine) during the late afternoon of Saturday:
If you guys have pics of me, that would be awesome! :)

I'm afraid I can't fill the spot since I'll be trying to run the show, but you might want to clarify: do you mean you need a handler for just the gathering, a day, or the whole weekend? The likelihood of finding someone for the latter two is probably fairly low, Fanime's usually an incredibly busy con for people who are running around doing multiple costume changes per day/attending a bunch of events, and especially on Saturday and Sunday. You could try offering to comp them lunch or something in exchange, but I know most cosplayers have a lot going on over the weekend.
I guess I do need to clarify more. Hmm.
Well I'm going to be the sheep on Friday (probably late afternoon) and the Reaper on Saturday (probably morning till after the day gathering). I'm down with giving free lunch or coffee for anyone is willing to help me out. I figure I can just cosplay the length of the time the person or group is cosplaying from either series. (As long as it's not like....just two hours or something...I'm only used to cosplay one thing per day. O_o; ). I also have no set plans, so all I'm really going to do is run around the con in my costumes.
So basically I may need someone to help me out Friday and Saturday. I'm open to making new friends too. >3<

Hey! Since there's still question marks on who I'm gonna cosplay, I am confirming that I will be cosplaying The Reaper for the day gathering! (just finished it today! :) )
Also it would still be awesome if someone could accompany me in my sheep and reaper costumes. I CANNOT see in them and absolutely need a handler. I do have a friend of mine than can help, but I don't want her to be chained to me all weekend (esp. since we're not even cosplaying from the same series). I figure if any of your are from the same series, I hope it's cool if I can have some assistance. ^^'
And yeah, as for Midnight Gathering/King's Game, I won't be able to make it. I have other plans! )X

HEY QUESTION for any of you guys.
So it seems that my friend may not be able to make it to Fanime (and she's the one that booked our hotel--whole 'nother rant), and she was also going to be my handler for my costumes.
If you guys don't already know, I'll be cosplaying a Stray Sheep (Catherine) and the Reaper (Persona 3,4), both of which I CANNOT see well. >_>; My question is, would anybody be so kind to help me around? Since we are cosplaying from the same series (any Catherine cosplayers for Friday?), I figure I'd just be an addition to you or your group.
If I can't find anyone, then I'm afraid I won't be able to cosplay these at all. >_>;
(I hate these last minute shenanigans...oh boy...)

Whoa, sorry about that! Should be fixed now, I'm just terrible at forum coding.
The convention center has undergone a ton of renovations since last year, so the layout is considerably different than in 2012. Basically, G4 is on the first floor of the center, if you're in the lobby you go straight ahead between the two staircases, and (from what I understand) there will be a large open area. I wouldn't worry too much, as long as you get to the general vicinity we should probably be easy to spot, we usually have quite a number of cosplayers that show up each year.
Fantastic! Thanks for the directions! :)

Hey, I have a question about the location of the gathering. Where is it exactly? (the link to your map is not working. I also got a glimpse of it way before, but the layout looks different from the map shown on the convention site)
This is my first Fanime so I'm not familiar at all with the layout of the con. (so the G4 label doesn't help me much) >_<

As long as I'm not lost, I hope to make it to this meetup (first time at Fanime haha)!
For sure I'll be bringing my sheep costume (Catherine), and I'm in the process of making the Reaper from P3/P4. I'm probably going to bring the Reaper since I'm planning to cosplay it on Saturday anyway! :)
If not, then...Sheep! (If I bring this costume, I *might* need assistance since I'm pretty much blind in this thing....>_>; )
As for the King's Game thing, I'll have to opt out...since my costumes aren't suited for it (being blind in the sheep and half blind in the Reaper...oh boy...)

I hate semi-necro bumping threads, but I'm in a forum-posting mood.
So I just recently moved to San Francisco, and I'm hoping to go to Fanime next year! If so, then I'm definitely bringing my sheep costume! :)
(woo Catherine cosplay!)
Now I just hope I can find an handler to be with me while I'm in the costume...because I can't see shit in it (all for the sake of accuracy haha). T-T
