FanimeCon 2024 Forums

I'll be there, as 'Fire Lord' Azula.  I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I'm not sure what day would be best yet... I hope we can cooridinate this shoot so it doesn't conflict with the others ones I have to go to- but I do know I'm NOT  a morning person, so afternoon or evening would be best.

xD How exciting so am I !!! Lol, Fire lord Azula and Zuko ;3

But me either, << we will definitely try however. ;D Just vote!

Last year I wasn't able to make it to Fanime, and seeing as I've yet to debut my costume, this is the year! I'll be Katara during the gathering, hopefully I'll be able to make the gathering. ^^

Alright sounds good ;D See you there!!

I'll be there as Katara with my friends as Zuko and either Azula or a miniature Jet. :D

PS - I linked this thread to the one on coscom ^^

If this doesn't conflict with the Hellsing cosplay gathering on Sunday, count me in as Season 2 Katara. :D

I'm already planning to cosplay as Toph XD meeting up with other fans would be so much fun, I'd love to go.

I should probably clarify, I'm going as Toph in her Earth Kingdom green outfit, not her Fire Nation one, though that one is awesome as well.

I should be able to come as Uncle Iroh.

I know there's already a thread for this, but the person who started it hasn't posted since December and I'm not sure whats going on with it.

As it my first year going I don't think I'd be the best to start a gathering, since I've never attended one myself. But I'm already planning on cosplaying as Toph and meeting other fans would be great.

If anyone knows of one or is planning something I'd appreciate any info I can get.

Thank you, Rin

I vote for the gathering to be on Friday :)

I agree, friday seems like a good day. Though since that's the first day most people are probably showing up, I don't think many people will make it.

hahah, Ill update sorry Havent been on. >< FAIL!

Reporting in as Mai! And with any sort of luck, I might make my father be Uncle Iroh. XD

What if the gathering is later in the day? Like...3pm or so?

true, that would probably work, I'm getting there really early friday morning because my roommate is in the maidcafe this year and they have stuff to do at that time.

I just got my Toph outfit so I am ready to go!

Does anyone know if it's allowed to walk around Fanime with no shoes? I don't wanna ruin the outfit, but I could probably find some brown sandals or something that wouldn't look to bad. :/

May have a Mai, Toph, and Jet with me, but not certain on those yet

This seems to be turning out to be a very interesting gathering ^^ I'm glad there might be another Toph there aswell.

Our Toph is almost certainly coming so you two can, I dunno, have a bend off or something.

Updated. Sorry i've been MIA

@Avatar gathering organizer: Your first post is missing the Fanime Photo Disclaimer. Please update your first post.

Thank You

Soo....is Friday @3pm an okay time for everyone?

Can't do friday unfortunately, but whatever pleases the masses.

*sigh* noticed a lack of Suki and Yue

Well it is still not decided, so dont fret.

I Don't wanna do friday ;> I'd actually prefer Saturday. So, we need to just figure it out by the end of the month, i'd prefer to have a set time eventually. haha not last minute either.

Also, yes, there is a lack, make someone cosplay them.

ah I would, but I've already gotten everyone involved I can.
My friends who are going as Mai and Toph are definitely going though.

I wrote a Suki/Yue cosplayer a while back, waiting on reply though

Yeah, but then most of the other gatherings are aiming for Saturday as well. I know there's one gathering in particular I'm dead set on attending, and if it ends up on Saturday, I won't be able to make the Avatar gathering at all.

That's fine, we will all decide on a day later. But I cant guarantee it'll be changed for one person because they have a gathering they have to be at over another. ;/ I'd prefer Saturday xP others seem to agree, but all in good time ;> I'll try to work with everyone's schedule.

What days and times would be the absolute worst for people? That's one way of narrowing it down

Monday, I'd hate monday haha. I mean I'd prefer Sat or Sun, sat more then anything else.

I can do Saturday or Sunday myself, I figured monday wouldn't be a very popular day since most people will be in the process of leaving or already gone

No Monday is the depression day. Lol

Hahaha, well put

Well it is. xD everyone is emo walking around, saying bye. Buying cheap shit. Yep. Sad day.

No, no, I understand. But literally every series I'm cosplaying for is aiming for Saturday to be the day of the gathering. Hitman Reborn, Soul Eater, One Piece, and then this one. It'd be a bit disheartening to be unable to attend just about all of the gatherings due to this freakish scheduling conflict. But then again, from the way the votes are going, I seem to be the only one experiencing this problem. lol.

If I can get it done in time, I'm going to try to cosplay Toph, my boyfriend may cosplay either as Sokka or Non-Fire-Nation Zuko, (we really are uncertain as to what he'll cosplay) if that makes sense. Anyway if I can get it done, Saturday is actually the best for me as Friday I'm with the Vocaloid shoot. However I am a maybe since I gotta get the costumes done in time.

Most of my gatherings are on Saturday too, and I *really* want to attend this Avatar one. Unfortunately, most of the props I'm making are for other anime that have gatherings on Saturday. If there is a way to do this gathering on another day, I'd be the happiest person ever, but I know it's hard to plan events that satisfy everyone's convention schedule.

But still..with the movie coming out, this gathering will probably be super amazing and I'd love to be a part of it. I really wish there was a way we could do it on another day...:/

Hows friday sounding? I Personally now want friday xD cause im in love with another cosplay. Haha

But like i said depends on what others want, not just me.

Friday would be so super amazing *_*

Just got info on my cosplay, I should be able to cosplay to this.
I'll be cosplaying Toph, Earth Kingdom
Boyfriend will be cosplaying Tea-Shop Zuko

Again I prefer Saturday because I have nothing going on that day. Friday I have a meetup but the time hasn't been announced yet. I really want to make both of these. >< However if Friday's time does not conflict with the meetup for the Vocaloid meetup, then I can attend both, but again no time has been set for the Vocaloid.

Friday or Sunday.. Well actually no.. Hm, I dont know. It's still early x3 I guess once people stop signing up we will make our minds up on the gathering day.

The day is not decided. You would know that if you read everything xP We are still deciding. Just depends on what everyone else wants to do. But I will do my best to work with everyones schedule so dont worry ;>

Friday would be nice for me, I just need to see when the other gatherings I'd like to do are going to be.

vote C:

Come on people, vote :> I want to have the date set up by the end of the month, or asap.

Since no one is voting, xP and my friends say Friday, I think I'll make it Friday, hows that sound everyone?

I posted this on cosplay.com but anyway my sister is coming too now, as Ty Lee.
And I guess Friday works...but can I just ask a random question?...  Why is there only an Avatar gathering for one day of a 4 day con?  I mean maybe you Californians do it differently and have a different mindset about gatherings/photoshoots but I know at every convention here on the East Coast including Otakon and NYAF, we all do our best to make sure popular series have a gathering for each day. At Otakon last year there was an Avatar gathering for each of the 3 days. So...just curious is all as to why we are only picking 1 day for the Avatar gathering at Fanime.

As long as it doesn't conflict with the times for the Vocaloid gathering, I'll be there on friday~

Lol, Friday it is.

Give me some rough time estimates guys? ;D

Preferably sometime before four, I think that the Vocaloid one is around 4pm in the afternoon or sometime after that they haven't given an actual time yet but they said around 4pm possibly. Besides before that one is better for me since I have to use spirit gum to attach my eyepiece for Vocaloid. So yeah during the morning/early afternoon's good for me. ^^ And any time later after 4-5 apparently it might conflict with night schedule I've heard people mention on other boars for other meetups.

I'm thinking 2pm ish, this is implying no one has school!

But its all up to who decides to reply xP and soon!

1 or 2 works fine for me. I'll have to leave probably around 3-3:30 or so so I can get to my other gathering. However again, it does depend on the school situation for other people.

Oh shit, I want in! I probably won't be able to make it (YGO meet is 2:30, I think), but if I can, I'll be there as Bounty Hunter Jun! :3 (Er. If I can find all the pieces. Damnit that's an old costume, I wonder if it even fits anymore...)

I'll be able to go as Book 3 Zuko on Friday, so you can include me (as a maybe).

@ auroramarija: To be honest with you, I don't think there is one answer for that question, but I can try and give it a shot.
For these gatherings usually only one person sets up the gathering & since only one person is willing to host, chances are they're going to cosplay as another character another day or plan on doing something else another day. Thus, making them unavailable to host another gathering on another day.

That being said, sometimes we do have 2 or more of the same type of gathering depending on the host/s

So... I think it all depends on scheduling/scheduler ;^.^


P.s. 2pm on Friday would be good for me.

@SilentJ
Alright, I'll put you down..

As for everyone else, so.. How does Friday 1pm sound?

Friday 1pm sounds perfect for me~! I'm all good for it. ^_^ Gives me more leeway.

Anyone want to meet up Saturday as well? I can't do Friday but would still like to attend some sort of Avatar gathering, even a mini one!

Saturday I plan on cosplaying Toph all day, so I'll meet up with you at the very least Wremble, my boyfriend's cosplaying Zuko so.... X3

lol my group has a Toph, Zuko, and Mai, oh and a Sokka (me)

But if you don't mind duplicates it should be fun.

All fun, xD we just need to set a time and day guys!! Is it okay if we do Friday 1pm? <___<!!?????

Nope I don't mind at all. I'm going as Earth-Kingdom Toph, boyfriend's cosplaying BaSingSe/TeaShop Zuko.

And yep 1pm is fine for me for Friday SuperCoolPeeps.

Cool. Let's meet up saturday afternoon then! As for the group it seems the masses have spoken! Have fun friday!

If you get a time that you'd like to meet up, let me know~ ^^

And I'm soo psyched~ I can't wait for the meetup and Fanime itself lol.

I'll hit you up on facebook for the saturday time when I know, but for now lets leave this forum for the main gathering info on friday.

Take it away SuperCoolPeeps!

I agree, don't want to hijack the thread. In any case I'm psyched for both meetups. ^^ Can't wait to meet the awesome people who started this Friday meetup.

I Dont mind meeting up with you two either on sat ;D

I wanted the gathering on sat, but its a double sided blade. Only certain people can make it, so I guess we will have to further discuss it. If the people who want it sat dont speak up, then its fri. If people who want it on friday dont speak up, then its sat.

SO IN SHORT I NEED TO KNOW WHO NEEDS IT ON A CERTAIN DAY. Because honestly, all of you are half and half :>

well I need saturday myself due to the physical inability to un-shave facial hair from friday's costume. lol

It sounds like official meet up on friday, and unofficial saturday?
I believe the poll still gives friday the majority.

@Silent J: it's Max, could you join on Sat as well?

Max, I probably won't. I've got two other gatherings I'm attending that day plus the costume I'm wearing that morning.

On Fri, the earlier the better. xD
I'll be there, but just to take pictures.

The thing is those just getting to convention on Friday, so the earlier the better may not be the best for the cosplayers. I think 1pm's fine but that's just my two cents if it's going to be on Friday.

Aderu here as Jun!  'Cept I doubt I'll be able to make it Friday, I won't be there till Saturday, boo!

Looks like we got 6 votes for Sat :>

So, looks like it's going to be Saturday guys.

If that's the case, I won't be able to go, unless you make it after 5pm or 6pm. Even then, it would still be a maybe.

Saturday 5pm or whatever works fine for me. I do kind of have lunch to do with friends just to let you guys know. A couple of friends and I are planning on getting lunch and doing that mini-shoot that was mentioned before. So if anyone's interested to join us for lunch, just let me know.

@SilentJ
I don't know, it's really up to everyone. But I'm leaning towards saturday, and it seems like everyone else is. A 5pm Gathering is abit late, but I dont mind it :>. But I wont move it to accommodate you if you wont be there, remember. I wanna try to make it easy for everyone to go.

@FoxBerry
Me and my Friends would :>

The mini gathering's probably going to be around 10-am/10:30-am and lunch around 11:30-12pm, my friend whose taking pics has a meet to take pics at 1pm apparently we got miss-communications. But yeah we wanted to eat lunch with him, so I hope 10am's not too early for a shoot, hours are still in the works, but it seems like that's going to be the time. I'll talk with you more about it when I get info.

I Can post it on the official notice :> on the front page. :D

Just give me a def. time and I will get people to sign up.

Just waiting for Wremble to get back with me on if 10am is an okay time for the mini-shoot and 12pm is good for lunch.

<< That Implies I have to be up at 8am to be ready.


and if the gathering is on Saturday anyways, whats the point of the mini gathering xP Shouldnt the lunch be morphed in with the gathering time?

Why not just make 2 gatherings? One for the Friday ppl and one for the Saturday ppl? Fanime's big enough for enough ppl to make it to each one...

Reason why having the mini one? Because I didn't know that the main one was going to be shifted to Saturday. Also I asked a friend to shoot the mini meetup and he's not available at 1 or 4, and I wanted to get lunch around 12. I mean you guys don't have to go to the mini-shoot, I was just offering, if not then I'll see you guys at the main one. The mini one was again supposed to be because of the fact that it was originally thought the meetup was going to be on Friday lol. I already made the time and everything with my friend whose got those times avaliable. But yeah the lunch is part of the meetup I guess XD but I wanted to take time to take photos and stuff before lunch which would be probably 10:30-11:30 for the shoot and 11:30-12:30/1 for lunch (depending on how long it takes to get lunch I'm sure it will be busy to get lunch anywhere on saturday).

I mean if you guys like to get lunch first and do a photoshoot or something after lunch, then I'll go to that one too. I'm just saying that my photographer isn't available at 1pm. But yeah whatever you guys want to do the mini shoot is basically just something I got up with my photographer when everyone was leaning more towards Friday.

I noticed too that you posted on the Dodgeball event, so maybe it would be a good idea to do the Avatar meet sometime before 4 so we can attend the dodgeball event. It's a lot of fun, I've attended HappyHeretic's events before and they're so much fun.

@ Reyn

@ Fox Berry

x3 Stalker, and Ya, i wanted to go. We can probably end up doing that, we will have an official one maybe friday or sat? Depends, and still have the mini shoot on sat. Sound good? Pm me the info and who you know from your group who is attending the mini meet up and I will post it on the front.

Hello!! Sorry it has taken me a while to post on this forum!! But i really want the meet up to be on Friday in the afternoon. The One Piece meet up is on Saturday and that is my main costume!!

I will be attending as Book Three Zuko in his epic armored costume!! Super excited!!

However if it is on Saturday then i will be unable to attend!! ^_^.

I'll be there as Piandao (aka Sokka's sword master)

Bwahaha >P I posted first so technically wouldn't that put you as the stalker? XDD jk jk. I'll get back with you hopefully very soon with the mini-shoot info. Looks like Friday's aiming to be larger than Saturday again? Lol. Anyway if the main one is on Friday and doesn't conflict with another meetup I will be at both lol.

I see a lot has happened here in the last few days. Mainly the poll has changed. I'm assuming the gathering is friday again? Although the discussion still seems to be leaning towards saturday so  I honestly have no idea.

A 5 or 6 gathering doesn't sound all that bad to me if it was saturday, it'll still be light for hours after that anyways.

I can always see if my friend would like to possibly shoot us at 5pm Wremble so we don't have to worry about so early anyway and nix the minishoot. That is if this forum can decide on a time and date if it's going to be on Saturday. Again it just depends on what everyone decides. I do need to let him know for certain though.

Avatar cospeeps!

Everyone needs to come up with day time and location so that the organizer can pm me ALL the info & their info so it will be on the official list. This list is seen around the convention and many photographers use it to guide there photo shooting during the weekend.

My suggestion would be a Friday gathering (won't conflict then with Cosplay Masq on Sat. or B & W Ball or MusicFest on Sunday) After 5 years of doing this I can say that the 6:30  or 7 pm slot for the gathering and then everyone go grab dinner together Friday night. When your done with dinner you can always check out the swap meet or go shake it at the dance. The Deathnote gathering took this time period last year and had SOOOOO Much fun till 12 am! Just a suggestion, but time is quickly ticking away.

Squidges
B

Yes but the issue is the light and for photoshoots BSaphire. Have to keep in mind the lighting, so saying 6:30 or 7pm would limit our light quite a bit. Besides that would put my dinner sometime after 7, like 8pm. And honestly I don't want to eat dinner that late.

On another note: However if it's 5pm-6pm or whatever on Friday I won't be able to attend the meetup, Vocaloid is at 5:00pm on Friday.

I Dont care if its official or not, I just want us all{ Or the Majority } To find a time and day that would be best suited for us. So if a time slot is full or w/e then I guess it will be unofficial and im fine with that.

As for it being so late, I also agree. Lighting, what if its that one night where it's just dark and ugly that wouldnt be very fun. Nor would I really wanna meet at 7pm at night, I'd be doing more awesome things.

I think I mentioned this before but I'll mention it again,
can anyone do sunday?

I know it's not peoples first choice, but who here has a major conflict on that day?
I mean if we can get every one there on the same day, whether it's the most desirable or not that would be best no?

Sorry I can't do Sunday, I'm cosplaying Stein and that takes a lot of makeup and time to make. And I also have a photoshoot already scheduled.

Sunday just seems like a no no. Thats my lay back day.

I honestly think Friday is the best date along with the original time :/

I agree. We're getting too close to the con to be wishy washy about when the gathering should be. I run the coscom's Avatar thread, and I've been keeping it low key since this is the more active of the two, but I really would like a set time to announce for anyone who's not a member of the fanime forums...

@ FoxBerry
We will have to have our mini gathering on Saturday then.

@SilentJ
Friday it is then /slap


As for the time, I dont know. We can decide on what time is best for everyone through another poll... & Comments. If anyone has comments or issues please PM me and I will try my darn Best to get this figured out.

haha alright, well me and my Toph are in for the mini-gathering saturday whenever we do that, but won't be able to make it to the friday gathering so you can pull me off that list.

I'm just glad a day was finally set :P

Oh awesome! My friend's cosplaying Maka. I'll definitely keep an eye out of you. My boyfriend's cosplaying Papa.

Glad to hear the time was set. Honestly 12-1 is best for me.... As I have a photoshoot sometime with EBK before my meetup at five for vocaloids.

Also, SuperCoolPeeps- you have Sunday as the minishoot on the front page. ><;
Further the minimeet for those who can't come on Friday- should be 10:30am as my friend is shooting us. We also plan on lunch afterwards. So meetup will be 10:30am-12:30pm an hour for lunch and an hour for the photoshoot.

I'm friends w/ CaptainLiHellsing, and I'll be cosplaying Mai on Friday. I'll see you guys there!

I understand about lighting and needing time for photos. ^^)

As of right now 4:30 on Friday is free. 12 noon on Sat is free. If you want to do 10 of 10:30 on Sat there is spaces available.

I would like to see this on the official list so that the cosplaying attendees that are not on the forums will know about it. Just need to PM me with the info and real name along with badge name.

Hope to see your pm soon

Haha, what a group XD My friends are going to be Soul, Death the Kid, and then I'll be Blair.

If the meetup is at 4:30pm I will /not/ be able to make it. Sorry. There's just no way that I can attend the meetup at 4:30pm when the vocaloid is at 5. Why can't there be multiple meetups at different times for different series? =/ I don't understand this... as for the Saturday meetup it's just a small little shoot that's going on made for those who can't attend the Friday one. I can attend both because I'd like to meet people on Friday who can't make the Saturday one, but it all depends on the time. Do they really have to be official?

Reyn; Lol awesome! X3 I will keep a lookout for you. ^^

No they don't have to be official, but that means they will not be listed on the Gathering Info Boards stationed around the convention. It also means that the Organizer will not be recognized by Fanime (there is something that Fanime does for the organizers) and if not listed around the con the people who attend Fanime for the first year and are not on the forums will not know that there is an Avatar gathering unless someone happens to mention it. My staff at the gatherings table will not have it on their list so they would not know what to tell anyone about it like location, time, day, etc. It also means the photographers (both professional and others) will not know about your gathering unless someone happens to tell them.

Right now I have 59 gatherings and 8 + cosplayer run events listed. There are about 11 gatherings that are working on or need to PM me with the info so that will set the number around 70 gatherings. So if you don't want it listed I will just let it be. There are those gatherings that have done that. One in particular ran three years off the list and last year came up to me to find out "HOW to be on it" so that people will know about their gathering. Looks like a banner year for it this year :)

I will list both the Friday (what ever time you decide) and the Saturday on the list as long as location doesn't conflict (don't see an issue with that) so all you need to do is PM me all the info (see post #3 part 2 on the gatherings list) and then check in 15 minutes - 1/2 hour before the gatherings at the Gatherings Table during con.

I hope this helps you because I only want to help and see all the gatherings as successful as possible.

Both gatherings on the list?

BSaphire, you are totally my new hero :)

We still have a week to decide the time, have you decided the time for the other mini gathering/ Last we talked you didnt, get back to me ;>

10:30am, that's the time. (That's when my photographer friend had avaliable) Wremble let me know if you feel that you and your friends can't make it. Also where are the locations going to be SuperCool? I have never been to fanime so I don't know anything of photograph locations.

Well I was thinking to the right of the convention center, they have dirt there. and as stupid as it sounds.. Dirt looks pretty darn good for Avatar..

Haha, alright. So I'll sign me and my friends up for the mini gathering, any way it can be later?

Anyone else who wants to go, let me know.

It's not weird, a grungy look works good thanks to how nature-like Avatar tends to be.

My friend has a meetup at 1pm, I was hoping to get lunch around 11:30-12pm with everyone that's kinda why I suggested it being earlier. Would 11am be okay? That way we can do an hour for the shoot and then 12-1pm for lunch? Or is that still too early?

Wremble here! As the never ending scheduling continues once more!

@Foxberry, Supercoolpeeps and anyone else who cares to know, my saturday is planned around Avatar so anytime you guys can decide on I can make. I can't really vouch for my Toph but I'm sure the situation for her isn't that far off.
Basically, you guys decide a time, we'll make it happen.

Sounds fine to me.

Saturday at 11 for gathering number 2!

Speak now or forever hold your peace!

I'm going to be there on Saturday and Sunday!
(I'm actually really relieved you're having the mini-gathering saturday.  I had heard there would only be one on Friday and I was so sad!  This will be my first gathering ever!)
I'll be Princess Yue on Saturday and Suki on Sunday.  I can't wait to see all of you and your beautiful costumes!

I'm glad the mini gathering is helping more and more people participate! and glad you've finally made it on this forum, I was worried you weren't gonna make it! (I'm that Sokka cosplayer from Deviant art btw)

Is the 11 saturday an alright time for you?

I spoke with my photographer friend he said shifting the time till 11am is just fine. So 11am photoshoot and 12pm lunch sound okay with everyone? ^^

Yeah!  I was trying to find more info on the cosplay masquerade and found you guys instead! :D
11 on Saturday should work for me!  Where are we meeting up?

and I'm having a total space cadet moment.  Which Sokka cosplayer on DA are you?

The sac con guy who was blown away by your costumes, username maxbyer, if that helps

It sounds like to the right of the convention center in a place with lots of dirt.
*shrug* Not very specific I know.

Oh yeah!  Saw your DA and that completely jogged my memory :)  I think I was getting confused because you said Sokka cosplayer and I was looking through my head of all the cosplays I had seen--and I've yet to see yours yet!  I'm excited to see it in the flesh!

Oh yeah I remember seeing you too ShotzgoBOOM at SacSummer09... Your costume was amazing~!

On any case looks like 11am on Saturday is a go guys??

As for Friday starting to look like 12-1 looks to be the better time for Friday?

I just got my Toph outfit so I am ready to go!

Does anyone know if it's allowed to walk around Fanime with no shoes? I don't wanna ruin the outfit, but I could probably find some brown sandals or something that wouldn't look to bad. :/

I saw somewhere that shoes are required in the convention center. I think it was the weapons policy, but not sure. It is stickied at the top of this forum section.
BTW... When I walked around the convention center taking photos two weeks ago the only "Dirt" area was in between the library and the Hilton Hotel. FHS has some reddish bark in the tree area, if that is what you are referencing.

thanks ^^ I was pretty sure they were required so I bought some brown and gold sandals just in case, at the very least they don't look that out of place with my costume so I don't mind having to wear them.

If we're taking pictures outside and what not, I'm sure that removing shoes for a few photos shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure that you watch where you step. I've done this for two conventions, AOD and Wondercon as my Leeloo costume. As for my Toph costume, I'm probably going to use my black flipflops to walk around in.

So reddish bark area then? or was the dirt referring to somewhere else?

Everyone seems to want to do 12-1 time slot. So how does 12:30 sound for everyone? :>

Also, as for the Saturday if people want to sign up for it. They will have to tell me.

12:30 sounds perfect for me. I'm all for it.
Also SuperCoolPeeps you may want to check in on the cosplay.com thread, several people were asking if there was a meetup on Saturday, I mentioned that there was but since you want to have people let you know if they want to meet at the Saturday meetup (which I agree with you on) you might want to let them know. ^_^

*giggles because she sees some familiar faces here* I have a friend who I think will be cosplaying as... Fire Nation Suki? Just though I'd add her here and pass on the info I'm reading from you guys o.o

So...Friday at 12.30?

@ SuperCoolPeeps: I sent you a PM. Please respond soon
Thanks
B

I am updating all of the lists tonight, on who is going to what event.

There are two. Saturday which is a "Mini," Gathering hosted by Foxberry

& The Official Gathering, which will be on Friday at 12:30 in the afternoon. :>

I Do believe the location for the Official one will be to the right of the convention center, by the bark/dirty. Anyone has any objections please let me know.

Also, PLEASE VERIFY WITH ME IF YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEND SATURDAY OR FRIDAYS GATHERING. Thank you!

There we go, updated. Take a look and contact me :>

Sounds good. The Mini-gathering will be at the same location- if that is okay?? If not do you have a suggestion? Because I have never been to Fanime before and I know absolutely nothing about the convention center. Haha. That aside- I will be attending both Friday and Saturday (because I have friends who are attending one or the other).

I don't know for sure if my PM went through the other day, but I'll be there saturday as Sokka and I bring with me one Toph

@Foxberry

Okay, sounds good.

@ Wremble

Whoops, xD My bad. Got it, got it.

Gratzi, don't mean to sound like a broken record

I'll be at Friday's gathering as Katara, along with a Zuko and Azula.

;D There everything is updated. As for the meeting..

(https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu143%2Fo0Mutsuko0o%2FGatheringmeetup.jpg&hash=949d6aae99d688a33e56a64eb141604bcca622f2)

THERE, It'll be alittle past that, because there is a dirt area by there.

So Basicaly, meet up at the ledge, and just hang out at the blue point ;D

I'm sure once there is a Fire Lord Character & A Katara you will notice :> Thanks

okay, that is a HUGE help. lol.  I was honestly pretty worried I would have no clue where to find the meet-up.  thanks!

Chances are I'll be at the Saturday gathering as well for Iroh.

Good, you like my Map? :3

& alright I'll update the list.


Oh, and did anyone realize we have no Aang?

Yeah, I noticed that!  Poor Aang gets no love D:

And Foxberry, I just realized I met you at Wondercon!  I have a picture of your costume on my facebook, cause you were just so dang cool!

Ohh show me ;D

and yeah, no one wants to shave their head.

hey! book 3 has a bit of hair so it wouldn't be too bad.
regardless if anyone sees an Aang at the con, drag him to the gathering, or if you see a tibetan monk, or, I dunno, Krillin?

Anyways, I'll make sure to watch for the giant arrow at the con!

SuperCoolPeeps; Thanks, I didn't even know what the convention center looked like let alone the area. So much thanks!

I did notice we had no Aang. Sadface, maybe someone will see the cosplay list at the con and come.

Odd Pairing you guys xD

I was going to make my Boyfriend be Zuko, but since i'm cosplaying as Azula.. I Figured it'd be gross if we were caught kissing or hugging...

Unless you are.. odd and like incest..

I'll be going on Saturday as Season 1 Zuko. ^^

Saturday's Avatar gathering went great! Thanks to everyone who showed up!

Yeah << G od knows what happened.

I went to start the gathering and people had already started it so I just walked off.

Thanks to whoever decided to start fridays gathering early i had other people ask me why it started at 12 instead of 12:30 as listed.

Ah, that sounds really inconvenient. Did you make it to the saturday one at least?

No ;/ I was suppose to but my friend arrived late cause his car broke down so I had to get him at the greyhound. Think my friend Katara went though. /pif

Heck if I know. -___-; I was irritated with that myself. It was stated 12 both on the Gathering board and on the white board. I was wondering why it was at 12- when you said 12:30.

Sorry you missed it SuperCoolPeeps!
I hope you got plenty of good pictures despite missing the gathering.
There were a ton of Avatar cosplayers all throughout the weekend, probably saw you at some point.

Ya I did get good pictures. Just met up with Random people and found others along the way. So it wasn't a total loss...

I'm just pissed off cause it's been said that it was suppose to be at 12:30 FOR AWHILE NOW. yet when I got there at 12 to go check in at the desk the gathering was already coming to what it seemed like an end. So I stayed for a few then went off cause everyone was doing their own thing.

Then when other avatar cosplayers asked me what happened and why the gathering started at 12 when it was suppose to be at 12:30 I felt like banging my head into the wall. <<

On a brighter note ;> I was the Azula carrying around the fire ball ;D ~!

Yeah that is pretty ridiculous. I mean if anything a gathering should be LATER than scheduled so people can get there by the time it starts...

Ah! I'm pretty sure I saw you then. I was book 2 Sokka wearing my boomerang with pride :D

Damn I ment to get a picture of you but my friends were dragging me :>

Ohhh I remember who you were now, I think I have a few pics of you actually SuperCoolPeeps. I was the only earth kingdom Toph on Friday at the gathering. X3 Your costume and the prop was awesome.

xD Thanks and that means I must have your pic somewhere!

Oh, I got a picture of your Azula!  And it was great seeing all of you and your costumes! Really wonderful :D

Well, if you can navigate it at least...So many pictures and we're still within the same week of the con O_O
