Bay Area Conventions is originally a group created by Foxberry on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=360567740380) that covers local events and conventions around the Bay Area. We have a following of over 460 people, and are always looking for more members. We meet usually monthly on a Saturday or Sunday during the Non-Rainy-season of SF.

For this event we will be allowing ANY sort of cosplay and anyone is welcome to attend and to find out more about us. We will be meeting for about an hour, hour and a half or so and then go out to grab food most likely.If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

When signing up please list what character you will cosplay and from what series.

Hey Foxberry!  Noon is a little early for me as I was planning on working half day before driving down to the con.  I'll see if I can put in for PTO and if so, my daughter I and will be there.  Saito Haijime (me) and Heisuke Todo (my daughter) from Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan.

Post by: Foxberry on March 30, 2011, 05:03:00 AM
Elflady: Sorry it's so early but with the pickings for hours that aren't booked, I felt  that it would be best to try to choose something around the mid range rather than something so late not many people would like to come (considering late night activities) or too early because as we know Friday is a work/school day. I hope to see you and your daughter there. ^^

SweetNiar: We'll be glad to have you. I understand that it's it's a bit early, but with time constrictions, I didn't want to step on anyone's toes who already made events these days. ^^

Sorry for the late response to this, I need to keep up to date with the forums here.

Anyway thanks for letting me know guys. I know there was a bit of confusion for people last year as to where the gathering was held even though we set the location appropriately. I think we may have a sign with BAC written on it for people to find us considering our cosplays end up from everything out there to white toast, haha.

If 3pm would be easier for people I can apply for that time instead. :D Nothing is set yet.

If it's at 3 PM, then I can probably stay for the entire duration. If it remains at 5 PM, then I'll have to leave early to make it to another gathering that starts at 6 PM.

Apologies, there were confusions going on with this event.
It wasn't listed on the boards as we feared. That being said, there was also some communication issues. We did meet but we were beside the nintendo gathering. apologies again for those who missed the gathering.
