we will be there all day.
I don't know if I will be there, it's probably a no, but I might stop by if I do.
I plan on getting my hair cut, going shopping(maybe) and going to a concert.
But I don't know how to get there, or if I'll even do those things.
I hate not having rides. D:
I'll mostly likely go to this instead of the one in San Fran, to save gas you know.

Hope to see you there, that is if you make it and I'm able to identify you. Just let me know if you're able to make it.
:) I will be there with animemyu ^_^
usagi
I might eat at the ramen place, then meet you at Far Out Toys.
I think the latter won Metro's toy store of the year 2008 award? Lemme look it up.
After wards, I might head down to try Pizza Chicago, if I can afford it.
Saturday, right?
Maybe I should meet you all at Far Out Toys...
I'll be there around at 10 am, I don't wanna miss the sword exhibition ^^
What time will everyone else be there? Where will we meet and when?
Hey, if you're still cosplaying around 4 pm, come on by the Kidz Zone, where Stage Zero is trying to coordinate a cosplay event. Not necessarily a contest or masquerade, but just something so that we can showcase to our audience, and Stage Zero can do small interviews with you.
Hopefully the weather will be okay (might be chilly, but rain, let's hope not)

I'll come by.
When I read about the swap meet today I wanted to try and sell. But I'll stay at the store for the gathering. I can't wait to see everyone.
I'm not going to attend, instead I'm going to hang out with friends maybe and then go get a hair cut. :o
I didn't find anybody except Moogleborg. XD And he didn't even know about this gathering, I don't think.
I had fun at the festival anyway, pics coming soon.
LOL at me winning Brawl with Captain Falcon ;D
I was there. I was the Sakura (as usual) and I always played random on Brawl, and I also did Dragonforce on medium. Man, those people, kicked my butt on Brawl. I also embarass myself, with mistake of hare hare Yukai dance. Anyway, i want to know, who won the cosplay contest and the raffle. Because, my parents forced me to leave at 5.

Wait, did you cosplay with or without the pink hair?
Before I didn't come with pink hair, but I dye it only the front part in the crazy hair area. It was really my first time dying my hair. And the day after wards, people liked it at my church.
