GUESS WHAT Y'ALL! We've been approved! Yay! Our time is 2:00 PM on SUNDAY MAY 26 at location G6. I'm updating this here as well as on the Facebook event page, but the official cosplay gathering list won't be solid for a few more days (or even a week? idk) so I... am continuing to post until then? Better safe than sorry :P

TO JOJOS!

Gathering list is official, although it can still change! I updated the main post with our current scheduled time and location, as well as added a few more cosplayers to the list.

Hello everyone! Bumping for the biweekly check in. I added a few more cosplayers to the list and DID have a poll, but no one is very active here so it flopped. I gauged interest on Instagram and Facebook instead for the giveaway which will be held at the end of the gathering.

Below is the giveaway form - if you are a PARTICIPATING COSPLAYER or PHOTOGRAPHER, you are eligible! Limited to 1 entry per person. Don't use multiple usernames i.e. double Instagram or twitter accounts. I am checking every entry to ensure each person has a fair chance of winning  :)

I saw somebody else mention a giveaway at the end of their gathering. Would anyone be interested in such a thing? I have a few items of Jojo merchandise that I'm okay parting with. Putting a poll up, please vote.

GUESS WHAT! Gathering submissions are live! I've already submitted one for the Jojo gathering, will update every two weeks and when I hear more info. Be sure to check out our Facebook event page! Cosplayers are choosing via poll which part they are cosplaying from. So far the majority are from Vento Aureo... saw that coming ;P

Bump, some info has changed on the main post! Still waiting for official submission forms to go live, but will keep updated. Going to share this post on the Facebook page and Instagram so I can hopefully add more people who are cosplaying!

bump! Link shared to the Fanime facebook page as well as the event.

bump ✊ still no word on gatherings officially but I'm keeping a lookout! :) Don't forget to check the event page!

[UPDATES!!! 4/1]

'TIS THE YEAR OF THE GOLDEN WIND.... Our mantra? "That's bullshit, but I believe it!" Or we could go the other way, "Every time I close my eyes, I wake up feelin' so hooorny..."

HELLO ALL! It's me again, Nina! I plan on hosting the Jojo Fanime gathering for a second year because no one has expressed interest in doing so otherwise, and I thought I'd get this post up ASAP. I realize I might have to make another forum post when the 2019 updates happen or whatever, but better to organize early anyway!

Link to other gathering relevant things: will include info on my cosplay instagram (@jojoplusultra) when the dates get closer

News of the gathering: Keeping an eye out for the official gathering form submission!! Will update this post when it becomes available.

YAY! I never see enough Lisa Lisa's and Oldseph is one of my absolute favs. Super excited to see y'all there!!! :D

CON IS SO CLOSE THO WHO ELSE IS NOT READY OMG

I think I've updated most of the people cosplaying from the forums, however I haven't added anyone yet from the event on Facebook. It's best if you comment here and I will add you! But I will also make a post on the Facebook event to see who's cosplaying who and from which part. :)

We are officially on the gatherings list!!! We have also received our preferred day/time/location! Yay! This list IS still tentative, but we are an official gathering as of today.

OMIGOSH that's so exciting!! Yay, I'm so glad you'll be able to debut your first Jojo cosplays here!!! :)

I just commissioned my Gyro cosplay the other day - AM EXCITE!!!

I'm commissioning an alt costume for gyro for the gathering and BOY I'm excite!! Did anyone go to ALA last week? I was Foo Fighters on Sunday~

Everyone book their hotels?! Who's excited?! Meee!!! As for the gathering, as much as I wanna do someone new, it looks like I'm gonna be Gyro for real this year. I have to remake his shirt and the holsters for his balls... probably should get a new grill too!

Omigosh! Yay! I'm excited to see your Narancia if you're able to come! I'm hoping the gathering will be on Sunday again as it was last year, probably at the same time ~2pm. That seemed to work best for most people since bigger fandom gatherings happen on Saturday that Jojo fans also want to attend.

Happy new year, guys! Thank you for responding to the thread. I'm gonna do my best to make Fanime's 2018 Jojo gathering great!
