Let me know if you have any questions!
I've never hosted or run a gathering before, so I can't help there, but I'll definitely attend the gathering as mid-bird transformation Howl
Thank you! :) Please invite your friends over, I really want to make this gathering big!
My twin and I will be going as Chihiro and Haku (respectively)! Hope we can make it!
Thank you! Can you also suggest what day and time the cosplay gathering should be at? I really need to know.
Majority vote is on Sunday! Time is still depending and I'm still finding good locations! If we have time hopefully we can work on a cosplay music video, if we have professional photographers! Ask me any questions!
assuming this won't interfere with any of my other gatherings I'll try to be there as Sheeta (Castle in the Sky)
I've run a few gatherings myself- so if you have any questions feel free to ask ^^
Personally I would prefer early in the morning for this group- but its for selfish reasons since I know I'll have other gathering that will be later in the day and I really want to go to this one! XD
Thank you so much! I really need someone who had experience hosting gatherings to help me out! I don't mind having the gathering in the morning, just that it depends on majority vote (including myself). But I'm pretty sure we can do it in the morning and try to get everything done in time without having other gatherings interfering. :)
Here's the facebook event page : https://www.facebook.com/events/335912816614167/
10 am is the majority vote for the gathering! :D Feel free to come early around 9:50 or if so earlier! We'll be taking pictures at 10:10 am, so I can make sure everyone comes in time. Now I need to find an available location, still wondering if the Fairmont ballroom is still available! Also keep inviting more people over to the gathering! Happy Lunar New Years!
LET'S MAKE IT THE BEST!
Howdy! I have Mei and Catbus cosplay that I will be wearing to Fanime. Mind if I come and hang with you guys? I think that we already have a lot in common. See you there buds!

Are you wearing two cosplays for the gathering or one? Or are you bringing a friend who's cosplaying too? Sorry, I got confused.
We finally reached higher than our goal of people! Please invite more people along, this gathering is really special to me!

Just so you know you can't claim time or location yet. Once BSaphire (head of the gathering staff) gets back to us all she will ask us each for our 4 top time choices and location choices and assign one to us each. there's no guarantee that you will get your top choice time or local. Locations are reserved per time slot, and any gather NOT given the assigned time will be kicked out of the location.
Oh ok so I will just keep the location TBA for now and PM her.
25 people! We're on PROGRESS! Sadly we can't have our time or location without BSapphire's permission. Hopefully, we can do it in the morning. :)
If anybody went to the NorCal Spring 2015 Cosplay Gathering, you probably saw me. I was the Attack on Titan Yang. It was great meeting up or just seeing in you in your cosplays in the gathering. Now BSaphire is updating and accepting the new gatherings. Can't wait, hope we get ours confirmed! Wish me good luck!
Awh bummer that this is Sunday. I'll be San on one of the other days, unfortunately I already have a gathering planned for Sunday. :[ Hope you guys have fun though!
Well it probably will be Sunday but BSaphire hasn't confirmed the gathering yet so we're not sure
EVERYONE WE GOT OUR GATHERING UPDATED AND CONFIRMED BY BSAPHIRE! HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE OUR TIME, 10 AM, AND OUR LOCATION G10! PLEASE SHARE AND SPREAD THE GATHERING TO YOUR FRIENDS AND OTHER COSPLAYERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS! 8)
I've got a decent sized Ghibli group that would love to come. We span multiple movies.
Sheeta, young Sophie, Kiki, Ponyo, Sen/Chihiro, No Face, Porco.
I'd love to come, hopefully I can make it! I'll most likely be Arrietty on Sunday.
Expect a visitor from Laputa. ;)

Is it alright if I'm also a Kiki cosplayer?
Jiji will be thrilled C;
