If I'm not too busy staffing, I'll probably show up in my Lady Hades cosplay:

I had so much fun!!! I'm glad I ended up wearing my Gilda to the gathering cuz that thing turned out just way too awesome, lol

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me so I have no pictures, but there are some up from the staff photographers here:
http://fanime.slickpic.com/gallery/ More specifically, if you look under photographers, Greg Edwards and Tye Lokka both covered this gathering. ;D

I dunno how many people actually got my picture since I was staffing so freaking hard this year, but just in case...

I was Gilda (MLP:FiM) on Sunday and part of Friday... Here's a couple reference shots (I'm wearing the feathered wig):

The other one I'm looking for is the green stage ninjas from Chopped Cosplay on Saturday. I have a couple reference shots on my phone but they're not online yet... Basically, the three with the green bandanas who were yelling how much time was left and dancing like idiots in the background. Dunno if anyone took pics and/or videos but I'd LOVE to see them if you did! <3

I finished my updated Queen Chrysalis last week and managed to get a quick photoshoot in with one of the Fanime staff photographers!
New shots toward the end: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.265064523596708.41844.265057016930792&type=3

I'm also a wig away from my updated Gilda!

I'm so looking forward to being silly with all of you next month! ;D

I'm considering pulling together a Dean Winchester if I have the time. I'll try to be there! :D

If I can get a wig in time I'm planning to do Marie Kanker (Ed, Edd, n Eddy). Hopefully I can make the gathering!  ;D

If I finish my Kid (Chrono Cross) cosplay in time this year, I definitely want to wear her to one of these - preferably Friday so I can get some worth outta the effort it's taken to complete this cosplay! XD

Since Thursday tends to be a bit hectic and it's the unofficial gathering, can I bend the rules and wear a character from a Canadian-American cartoon that debuted in 1999? Still old school animation, right?  ;D (That would be Marie Kanker from Ed, Edd, n Eddy, btw...if I can get/borrow a wig, anyway!  ;))

If I can make it, I should totally wear my "psychic" Madame Pinkie cosplay that I'm working on! Seems appropriate, right?  ;)

[EDIT:]

I'll definitely try to make it again this year! ;D I'm currently working on 3 separate MLP cosplays (updated Queen Chrysalis, updated Gilda, and Madame Pinkie) so I dunno which I'll wear to the gathering just yet. Gotta see what actually gets finished in time... XD

EDIT: Okay, after reading the comments above and realizing multiple people are planning to be Cadance/Shining Armor, I think I should definitely commit to my updated Queen Chrysalis. It's not complete yet but this is what it looked like when I wore it for Halloween last year:

I had SO much fun at the gathering! There were so many amazing cosplays and awesome people!!!

Here's a link to my facebook gallery which has a handful of pics from the gathering: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.344429755660184.1073741829.265057016930792&type=3&uploaded=55

If I'm available you know you can drag me over to help and/or play. I'm so excited to check this out!!! <3

[EDIT:]

I'll either be Rarity as Wa-loita or Pinkie pie wa-lolita. also if she's in the states all drag a TS with me ^^

I've always wanted to see you as Pinkie! I might do a Nightmare Night pirate Pip or Gilda depending on what I can pull together. Either way you should totally do Pinkie, lol

EDIT: Put me down for Gilda! (How do I always manage to plan a mane six cosplay and then end up last minute as a villain?! XD)

Scratch that. Put me down as All Aboard instead.

I look forward to seeing you there! Been a few years since we've run into each other. ^^

I know the date/time is still being decided but my vote is sometime on Saturday. I'll be running a workshop Sunday morning and then I'm in the Masquerade that evening, so on top of staffing I'm not sure I could make it to smile smile smile with my brony brethren which would make me a saaaaaaaaaaad panda. Last year was so much fun; I'm really excited to hang out with you all this time around! <3

I plan on making it but I haven't yet decided on which pony I'll be this time around. ^^;

2 things:

1 - I'm so excited to come back next year. Staffing with you guys was a blast. To anyone considering staffing with the CGD: it's chaotic, it's exhausting, and it's some of the best fun you'll ever have. <3

2 - Do we have any updates from our photographers? I know Greg has somewhere around 20 pictures up on smugmug, but beyond that I have no idea.

So random question, Has anyone sent photos into Equestria Daily about the Meetup?

Not that I know of, but we definitely should! ^^

In related news, one of my facebook friends spotted this:

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the Briar Rose, older Ezio, other Fujiko, or blonde/lady!Kenshin, but they'll be the same cosplayers as some of the other references. ^^;

Hope that helps a bit!

Ah, wrong Ezio. But thank you for trying! ^^;

Alas, I don't have a reference picture, but she was an older version of him. Grey outfit, fake scruffy facial hair, black wig with white streaks in it. Possibly hitting on Miss Piggy, if that helps. XD
