Tuesday August 19th.
Hi, I work at Golden Tee Golfland in Castro Valley, and on Tuesday this random idea just came to me. Cosplay Mini Golf! So I talked to some friends, they liked the idea, I talked to our assistant manager, he like it, then I talked to my boss.... dun dun dun! HE LIKED IT!
The only down side. Costumes CAN NOT have mask's. This if for security reasons with Golfland
So my idea was that sometime this summer (a Thursday afternoon) we could have the entire lower golf course reserved for us (got the O.K. from the boss) He said we will make it $10 a person, it would be Golf and Arcade on free play. If this goes well. I want to make it a yearly event.
Arcade has...
Initial D 4
Initial D 3
Maxi Tune 3
DDR Supernova 2
Guitarfreaks and Drummania V4 (linked)
and other random games
I would like to have food of some kind, I wanted to BBQ, but thats alot of stuff to buy so I was thinking maybe a potluck?
I want to promote this idea by making fliers. Only problem, sorta expensive. About $150-$200 for 5000 glossy fliers full color printed front and back(Help with the cost would be awesome) Golfland gave me the O.K. to use there logo and mascot. Since I cant draw, I'm asking for someone who can, to help me with the fliers and I know PhotoShop quite well. I want to use our dragon mascot cosplaying something LoL.
From what I hear, Chabot College is thinking about doing a Cosplay Picnic at Kennedy Park in San Lorenzo. Maybe they might be willing to move that event to Golfland, since it has been O.K'ed. [EDIT] I don't think they are going to be having the Cosplay Picnic... Just Kin Yobi Con at the Chabot College.
Any ideas, comments or whatever, please reply, PM, IM, e-mail or what ever.

[email protected]Oh and one more thing. There are allot of good places for photos xD. For example, a really big castle, or a clock tower ^.^
[UPDATE] The date will be Tuesday August 19th
That sounds pretty cool, actually...
...but it's a bit far from San Jose, at a time and place where gas prices have just hit $4+. Maybe if you could somehow communicate this with another Golfland (e.g. MGL, SVGL)...?
I agree with Spirit - it sounds like fun, but I can't say I'm going to drive all the way to Castro Valley for it.
That being said, if there's enough people in that area who want to play, go for it!

Seconded exactly. I need an excuse to cosplay again, that won't involve me spending too much more money. ^^;
there's also a GolfLand in my area, Milpitas, and its just a city beside San Jose :D
If we get approval there, I'd love to come ^__^
Well.. The other golflands aren't so nice about things like this.. It would have to be Castro Valley. Only about 35-40 minuts from San jose... So yeah, I hope people will be able to go.
Let me know when this is going to happen I will be willing to go! If you make it on a tuesday then I can say that two people will be able to come! If you do a pot luck thing I am willing to bring a plate of food for the event as well I will just need to know the amount of people showing. Maybe you can have an RSVP system to get rough numbers of attendance.
Maybe we could find some mode of public transit.
Or we could carpool.
:]
I'm applying for a job at the Golfland in Sunnyvale.
xD
I might not cosplay but I'd be down for joining this, I could maybe give some poeple a ride from San Jose?
I don`t cosplay either but I`m willing to come if its on a weekend.
You know, if we carpool in 1-2 vehicles, it might be feasible.
let's see what's going on and I'll plan around that.
SWEET I"M LIKE CLOSE TO THAT ONE!! XD if you do that i so want to go
Does CVGL have Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Pump It UP, or F-Zero AX, by any chance?
I'm still interested either way (might cosplay). I'll get back to ya.
Well, I live in Hayward, so that's feasible for me. Whoever is taking BART, i can pick up at the Hayward or Castro Valley BART stations and take them there.
Carpooling is a good idea too :3
Awesome, so like I said, it would be towards the end of summer, maybe sometime in August. I want to get the word out about it.
If anyone is willing to help me design fliers(i want to do golfland's dragon cosplaying lol) that would be awesome. I live in Castro Valley, if anyone is in that area, maybe we can get together and work on something.
I think Tuesday or Thursday could work. My boss suggested Thursday, maybe because he works that day, I don't know. Tuesday night would be cool, because I bring my LCD projector and we watch movies and play games on the side of the building lol.
Oh and any suggestions/ideas on anything, like what should happen on that night, things to do other then golf/arcade etcetera. Please let me know soon. Thank you
Ah, the old school days of meeting up friends at the local arcade.
makes me feel nostagic of the days of old school golfland milpitas BEFORE it had the 2nd building... (thats right once upon a time there USED to be only 1 building!) that's how old school i am.
but yah im down for ANY golfland location so long as we get advanced notice and make carpool to save on gas $$$
keep us posted please! kthanksbye.
I like the idea of it. It's freakin' far, but having Golfland to ourselves with arcade on Freeplay sounds great. I guess if a lot of carpooling was involved, it might be doable and worth it.
So far the only thing holding up this event is getting the word out about it. I cant really plan it if nobody is gona go.
I need to get started on fliers, but I need artists lol. I only know PhotoShop. If not, I'll try my best to make them myself.
Tuesday would be a good night to do it. 5 or 6 P.M. - 10 or 11 P.M. I will have my LCD projector set up, might have IIDX, Pop'n Music, Call Of Duty 4, Halo 3, DOA4.. what ever... Movies...
And again.. Any ideas on anything that could happen that night. Please tell...

If this happens in august and if it's held on a tuesday night, it'll have to be the 5th cause that's my last day of vacation and I can attend. I can also attend the tuesday or thursday the week before that too. The thing is, most of us work and we usually do the gatherings on a weekend to accomadate as many people possible that can or will come. This is just a suggetion really.
Well a weekend would be nice but were allready so busy on weekends that we couldent have an entire course to ourselves.

That's like a 2 hours ride for me... :'(
That's actually closer to me (Sacramento) than San Jose...give me a date and I'll think of it
Zomg richie how did you throw this together?
LoL well it sorta went like this...
Once upon a Tuesday morning, I was doing my weekly job of mowing Golflands lawn, when all of a sudden this idea popped in my head, Cosplay Mini Golf. I was liek "ZOMG, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!" So I told my friend about it, he liked the idea. Later that day, I talked to our assistant manager, he liked the idea, told me "Go tell Bob (my boss)". So the next day, I did. Not having any idea as to what he might think about this crazy idea. To my surprise, he liked it. Told me "lets see... You can have the lower course reserved for you guys, we can put the arcade on free play and lets see.. Charge $10 a person and lets make it a Thursday night." I was like "AWESOME! But what about if we do it Tuesday?" Bob said "Thats fine"... So I go home, make a account on the fanime forums and post about it.
The End.
Yeah... lol, I was bored... o.O

god damn yo richie
I really like this idea. I haven't played miniature golf in a long time and it'd be great to be able to meet up with Fanime members again. If we schedule this, let's see if we can make it sometime after July 18th, since I'll be able to attend it after that date.
I'm totally in for this!
Sorry for taking so long to give a date. But here it is. Thursday August 21st... I really hope that can work for alot of you.
Crap, I start school that day.... Maybe I could go after. What time does it start?

Ok so the potluck thing. I don't know how many people will be going to this event, so i cant really tell you how much food to bring.
Anyways...
5pm - Arrive, everyone try get here around that time, drop off food and stuff
5:45pm - Golf
When we get done with golf - Food.
-Or if any of you think food then golf would be better, let me know-
After that^ - The rest of the night, Arcade, Photos, Possibly video games/a movie on the side of golflands wall with my Projector xD.
so 5pm - 11pm
First of all.. I'm sorry for double posting.
Second, please don't hate me, but.... The date has changed.
THE DATE IS NOW TUESDAY AUGUST 19th.
well if noting happens then myself and my bf will be there! :) I will see about what I can bring, should be deviled eggs :)
ill design a dragon for you if you'll tell me what you want it to cosplay as.
preferably a character with a sword, as the reference im using is swinging a golf club.
or, i could just leave it a golf club. =P
nevermind, i just had the best idea.
the mascot is cosplaying as charizard. =)
gogo triple post.

i plan on taking it into photoshop tomorrow to add some highlights and stuff, but let me know what you think. =)
OMG YOU ARE MY HERO! I will use this and it will be awesome. These are the flyers I made so far(before i seen this awesome Charizard Putt design and before I updated the date)
Oh, I'm guessing you got that dragon image off of www.golfland.com... It needs to be really high resolution. The image is 3" x 5" at 300 pixels/inch. The dragon I used was really high resolution because I got the original high resolution images from my boss.

They are gona cost $106 for 2,500 full color front and back 3" x 5" flyers. I don't wana pay for them by myself because that would hurt my wallet lol. But if anyone can help. I can put in in $50ish....
what's your email? ill send it to you as a pdf. =)
or i can send it to you tomorrow after i add some highlights/lowlights and stuff. itll look a little more "real."
as if a charizard could look real. but still.
my email is

That is downright impressive.
I'll drop by after work just to say hi and hang out till the event closes. I get off work like around 9:15-9:30 p.m so i'll be there I guess.

@Reno: I should have the finished one mailed to you by tonight. =)
Sweeeet!... By the way Lactose, were you planing on going to Cosplay Mini Golf?
nah, i dont think i can make it. im totally broke so i probably cant afford the gas. like literally $20 in my account right now. -_-
SWEET I WANT TO DO THIS!! ^-^
SWEET! TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT!! xD!
Yeah, let's spread the word, lucky you'll have me to help you pass out flyers for this.

How much is it just for one side? I was playing around with that idea while suffering from a bout of insomnia, and turned out this (before decor):

If you want to expand on this, preferably, I'd like a picture of the place to use as a backdrop; the empty space can be filled by Putt-Putt (that's his name, right?) Charizard.
If anyone from Sacramento is planning to go to this, please contact me ASAP

I like that.. lol its only $5 less for one sided prints. I like the text and how it stands out. I like the colors and stuff of mine though(idk i guess thats just my style). Maybe we can somehow combine the two styles? I don't think we can use that Golfland logo only because of the resolution of it. The flyers have to be sent in to the printing place at 300pixels/inch so 3.25" x 5.25" at 300pixels/inch = 3" x 5" (they trim it down to 3" x 5") The Golfland logo will look really bad if we were to use that one.
I've got it set to 3x5, 300dpi. (This particular version's smaller for showing off here, obviously.)
The Golfland logo's a placeholder because I can't find a hi-res version of it (link me!); the middle color's also a placeholder because the background is preferably a picture of the place; and for color scheme, I enjoyed your purple, but didn't like the black. I can try putting that purple in.
But if it's only $5 less for one-sided...it might be worth the extra $5 to decorate it a bit more.
I'm down if someone wants to carpool up there from San Jose. I'd rather not drive that far by myself.

I'd like to hitch a ride, but I'd like an estimate on how much you want for gas money. And I need to ask grandma if she'll let me stay the night at her place.
Hello everyone, sorry its been a while since I've posted any information or replays about Cosplay Mini Golf. Its sill alive and is gona happen.
Ok so the flyers. Spiritsnare, its not that I don't like your design its just that I'm paying to have them printed. So I'm gona have to go with mine. Unless ya wana go halves on it. xD.. Put in about $55? LoL, but na its ok.. This time I'm just gona go with my design, its getting kinda late and I gotta get these out there. Yesterday someone came up to my work (Castro Valley Golfland) and left flyers for Con-X-Treme. So I really gotta get on this and promote Cosplay Mini Golf.
Oh and one more thing. Sac-Anime... Anyone going to it? I would like to go, I just need a ride there lol. Car pool anyone? xD. I'll help pay for gas ^.^
@Reno:
Sac-Anime happens the same weekend as con xtreme. I'm staying local for that con though.
Who all here has been to this golf course and what are some of your favorite things about it? This'll be my first time coming here and it'll be cool to meet up with those who were at Raging Waters last year.
August 21st? It's still early for me to say at this point, as I can't be sure if I'll be free on that day, and it's a weekday. :(
I'll have to get back to you all on this next month.
wait, is it the 19th or 21st?
The date is Tuesday August 19th.
When I first posted information about it, I did say Thursday August 21st. But that date changed due to the fact that a big group already had that day booked. So I had to change it to Tuesday August 19th.
Oh and flyers are being printed. I will be picking them up Friday. So expect to see them in places like San Francisco's Japan Town, Milpitas Golfland, Sunnyvale Golfland and other places.
Mmmmm potluck ^.^
Food or Golf first? What do you think...
Depends on how many people show up hungry, I can wait until after golf, but if more people wanna eat first, then that's cool too.

So.... Yeah. Cosplay Mini Golf is 8 days away and I can't wait LOL. I hope this has a good turn out, we want to try to make it an anual event. Right now it has a 50/50 chance of being freaking amazing or failing. We don't want it to fail. If we do this next year, I want to set up some kind of pre regestration so we can get an idea of how many people are gona show up. If we get alot of people, we might be able to reserve the entire golfland, get a few bands and maybe some other stuff. I don't know just a few ideas.... Anyways, see you all in 8 days xD.
saw a thread about this on cosplay.com and already commented that me and a friend were coming, but i figured i should post in here too ^^.
I'm pretty excited for this :D sounds like it could be a lot of fun, and its great to have events like this that let cosplayers dress up outside of the convention setting. can't wait for tuesday!
Schweet! I just found this!
:: eyes Mario Hat :: Mario Golf 2008?
I wish I had a better thing to cosplay, but golfing sounds fun and its only about a mile from my house! I'm in!
Wow, this is coming up sooner than I thought.
Tuesday's such an inconvenient day to drive all the way out there, though~
This will be my first time going to this course. Who all here has been there before and what are some of your favorite things about it?
it's a pretty fun place ^^ the courses are pretty cool (my favorite ones being the one with the 3 dragons and the huge castle :D).
Does anyone attending live in or around Oakland? I'd like to be at the gathering till 11, but my ride doesn't want to pick before 10. I plan to show up at around 5 at the latest.
I can't make it.
1)I don't really have a "cosplay" to use
2)I didn't talk to grandma about it
3)My sister's b-day party is tomorrow
Have fun!
I wanted to let everyone know that I have just started to upload video clips that I taped from the event. I have two uploaded so far.
The clips can be viewed at http://youtube.com/user/PaladinCecil
hehe i went. i was personally surprised there as many people as there was. GG richie :D
it looks like it was fun. =) if you make it a regular thing, ill probably go someday when ive got some extra money. =) great idea
I have all of the clips uploaded now, which includes a clip of Reno juggling golf balls.
