Thanks to all who showed up to join the party! It was awesome seeing so many gorgeous Tales costumes! :D

The page the official photographer gave was http://fanime.slickpic.com, but I can't seem to load the page. Anyone else find our awesome photos?

Updated!

Hope you can make it, angelXboy! We'll be there for a while, so don't give up! :)

I'll be showing up as Alvin with a Leia from Tales of Xilla.  Watch out, we got that victory handshake DOWN.

Haha, I look forward to seeing that! :)

And POOTERS, you look awesome!

I wish I could cosplay as Emil, but I has no costume. >:

Aw, maybe next time? You're still more than welcome to stop by and hang out! :)

Updated!

And we're officially confirmed for Saturday @ 10 AM! We'll be meeting at the big snake statue at the park across the street. My group will be there a bit earlier, so look for a guy hauling a giant purple coffin!

We've also been offered an official Fanime photographer for the gathering! Woo!

I have a question regarding chains, since I didn't see them mentioned in the weapons/prop policy: are chains allowed as part of a costume? If so, is there a length limit? Mine are three feet long (as per another con's policy) and remain on my person (i.e., not loosely hanging).

Thank you in advance for your time!

Yay! Updated!

Aw, bummer! Hopefully we'll still be seeing out-of-costume Tales fans there. :3

Hopefully I'm able to catch the entire panel this time (the first time I saw your panel, I came in around the last 5 minutes)

Yay! Hope you can make it! :3

I remember you so it must have been at another convention that I saw you!  The panel was really informative and entertaining!  Would love to attend it again, good to see you at Fanime!

Thank you for attending and the kind words! We'll try to be even better this time! :)

I just checked out your links... this panel should be interesting!  Looking forward to it.

Planning which panels to visit is hard work!!!

I'm still planning my own schedule, haha. So many interesting panels this year (as usual). Hope to see you there! :)

Cool!  Has this panel been held during prior years or is this new?

The panel has been held during prior years

This panel is new for those of us running it - we've held it at other Bay Area/Sacramento cons, but never before at Fanime. I'm sure there have been crossplay panels at Fanime before, but they were hosted by other panelists. :)

So how did it go for those who signed-up for it? :)

I think it went rather well! I got through the whole process before the page started crashing. :)

Updated!

[Time:]

Are you interested in crossplaying but have no idea where to start? Just curious about crossplaying? Come by our "Introduction to Crossplay" panel, where we'll answer all your questions!

Time: Sunday, 7-8 PM in Panels 1.

About the panel: We're a brother-sister crossplay team with over three years experience - i.e., we've made the mistakes so you don't have to! We'll be covering methods of making ladies and gents into gents and ladies, including:

~Binding for ladies
~Binding for gents
~Creating false breasts for gents
~Make-up techniques for all
~How to wear clothing of the opposite gender
~Safety tips for all
~and other little tricks and tips to help you "pass"!

Audience participation is encouraged throughout the panel, with a Q&A at the end. This panel is listed as all-age appropriate, but please note that some discussion of certain anatomy is inevitable.

Hope to see you there! <3

Oh, my group might swing by there if we don't have anything else going on. :)

Awesome! Everyone has been updated!

You're an amazing Milla! You've been added to the list! :)
