you're that dude who was gonna cosplay Dotachin last year, right?
I remember running into you in the Dealer's hall~
Put me down for Shizuo Heiwajima. Just going to need a new wig (definite) and a prop (hopeful). I wouldn't mind is this was a Durarara/Baccano gathering.
Yay!! Love the new thread title. Feels all official... ;D
I put a link to this thread in the last one so people know where to find us if they click the wrong one.
As long as no one wants to make their own Baccano gathering, I don't see any harm in combining them.
Also, my friends will be coming along as Anri and Izaya.
Count me in as Light Novel Izaya
You can count on me coming as Kida again~!
By the way, I officially make myself vice president/dictator of this thread/gathering.
Kthxbai. :|
EDIT: Also, I fully support the idea of making this a combined Drrr!!/Baccano! gathering.
Particularly considering I only saw like 3 Baccano cosplayers last year. And I was watching for them.
YAY KIDA *GLOMPS*
okayokay Durarara!!/Baccano it is then <3
Hey! I was hoping there would be a time set up but depending on the day and time me and a group of friends are doing our own DRRR group cosplay with me as Celty, and my friends as Izaya, Shizu chan and possibly Namie Yagiri and Anri. If there's a definite time set up then there might be a chance of us joining this gathering.
First motion as vice pres/dictator: We should reintroduce the Dollars chatroom.
Do you agree, President/Dictator Izaya?
All who agree, say AYE.
EDIT: For those who are unaware of the Dollars chatroom, it is this:
http://ikebukuro-dollars.com/
Activities consist of trolling, chatting, and more trolling.
AYE.
We can begin narrowing down a date/time for those who need it (but I have a feeling it might end up getting changed closer to con as more people sign up).
For me, I will be arriving Friday afternoon and leaving Monday morning. All time in between is tentatively free.
AYE. God I haven't used that chatroom in like forever ;_;
Also apparently one of my friends is gonna cosplay Shizu-chan >:D
I'm excited about this 'cause this is the friend who tried to strangle me with a towel on the last day of school/constantly tries to kill me with her shoe/lunch/whatever'sinherhand.
we're like totally BFFs no joke ;D
*makes me wanna cosplay normal!'zaya too*
...
*ends up doing both*
Anyways, regarding the gathering, I can probably make it any day but would prefer it not to be on Monday just because I have a Memorial Day thing that morning and it was a total hassle running back and forth last year. But really, it's what majority wants. My schedule is quite flexible.
I'm pretty sure I'll be fine for any day. Depends on when the Kuroshitsuji and Hetalia gatherings are. :P
Your friend sounds like a friend that I have. Two friends, actually.
... I'm surprised that I'm still alive.
If I have room in my suitcase (bloody petticoats take up too much room... >_<;; ), I'll definitely bring either my Chane or Karisawa costumes. I wore the Karisawa last year but Chane was even less finished than Erika, soo... chances are better for Chane. But like I said, I'm a maybe. Bloody petticoats.
Any day is good for me, and actually having a gathering to go to might make me start on my costumes now, yay! XD
I wouldn't mind joining a chatroom. If it were me I'd prefer if it were Friday or Mon. at least. About my friends, I'd have to ask them.
Since this is a thread that pretty much revolves around DRRR!!,
I'd like to ask all of you what you think of the dub so far?
I think it's pretty cool that they're dubbing it. Although most don't appreciate dubbed versions of animes. For me it depends.
If anyone's interested in joining my chatroom right now...http://ikebukuro-dollars.com/ (http://ikebukuro-dollars.com/)
Room: DRRR!!U.S. Host: Setton (me)
I preordered the dub almost as soon as it was announced 'cause I figured even if it was terrible, I could just switch the language to subs.
Plus it came with a free keychain >> orz.
Anyways, I feel that some of the voices fit really well (Like Shizu-chan and Celty's), but some are kinda meh.
But like nothing seems to be "terrible" yet anyways. *Crosses fingers* Just a few more days wait!
I agree with the both of you. It's a decent dub. Well, actually it's more than decent, it's good.
One of the things I really appreciated was the fact that they included swearing.
I don't like it when American dubbing companies go out of their way to eliminate cuss words, particularly when it's an anime more aimed at older teenagers/adults. The dub should feel natural, not restrained.
President/Dictator! Join us in the chat!
A friend of mine and I wanted to suggest having our phones ring at the same time during the DRRR/Baccano Gathering like in AX

Nevermind.
For chatrooms- BBS is also good for that
http://www.dollars-bbs.org/chat
Plus I'm known on there so I'm shamelessly plugging.
I'm also cosplaying Suit!Izaya and Dragon zombie Izaya <3

EXACTLY.
Particularly since they're in a big city.
If they were in out in the countryside, or in a small town, I wouldn't expect it as much.

YAY. This one has Kida's icon! : D
We are honored to welcome you into our lovely gathering, Suit!/Zombie Dragon Izaya!
Are you guys chatting already? haha If not I could set up a room as usual with the same name and everything. It'd be nice to actually talk about Fanime...aside from getting...sidetracked..
@Last Exile. Well it will be nice to have some people on chat that I'm actually going to be meeting. I'm doing a dollars meet up with 4 other people there too. Cause we are actually a part of dollars. <3
PS I'm Chrome or Cain or bosschrome if you ever go in there~
But anyhow yes Fanime, fanime will be exciting~
Just to tell you guys, I probably won't be on the chat at all during the week, due to school. :P
But I should be able to make it on chat on Friday and Saturday nights.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHIZUO~!
: D
It's like totally fate. My dvd came on Shizu-chan's birthday~
fjasdfdjsl *spazzing out* I just spent like 4 hours watching it and it was totally fucking awesoooome~!

You should do it, especially with the fact that they had to keep it on the down-low because AX was cracking down on flash mobs. I really don't think Fanime would care, so it'll work much better here.
I wanna watch the English Dub of DRRR!! x3 And I agree with HeeroYuy135 we should do it but I still gotta know the time slot for this gathering...to see if I can join you guys along with my friends.
Anyways people are still welcome to join my chatroom on the ikebokuro site. As long as the room name is DRRR!!U.S. and the host is Setton, that's me haha
P.S. It's been quiet in my room lately...o.o
We'll definitely do the cell phone flash mob thing, although it might not be as effective for us.
If we have a lot more people than we did last year, though, it might work.
@DarkMoonlitStar: I can't speak for all of us, but I have school, and like our president, a boatload of homework every night.
So it's almost impossible for me at least to get onto the chatroom at all during the week.
But on Friday nights, I should definitely be able to go on.
Oh, and just a random comment about DRRR!! :
I LOVE. The soundtrack.
Depending on the day the gathering is I will either be Celty or if that's not done in time I'll be Psyche.
EBONY NINJA! My PSYCHE! From sacanime~
Count me in as Celty~ And my boyfriend will be Shinra! <3
I'm also bringing a friend, and he'll be Shizuo. C:
I wish I had a bf who would go as Shinra for me xP lol jk. My cosplay group might have a slight change...We'll most likely be Celty(me), Shizu-chan, Izaya and maybe Anri and Kida.
Are there any Mikados out there? o.o
orz
I believe we didn't have any Mikado's last year, either.
fasdjfkl he's the goddamn main character somebody go be Mikado.
See, this is why I cosplayed Kida.
Because I figured, Nobody's going to want to cosplay Kida. He's a main character.
Well, as it turned out, I was wrong, and Mikado's the one that no one wants to cosplay.
WHICH SUCKS CAUSE I LOVE MIKADO! He's my second favorite character!!!!!!! UGH!
Actually I know of someone who is cosplaying Mikado for fanime~
...well, that's a relief. <:
asdf but what about baccano! cosplayers ;_;?
I wouldn't really know...but my chatroom has regulars! lol xD

I was actually debating cosplaying Firo, since my Kida wig could probably work for him.
But I'm not sure if I should or not. :/
I'm setting up a chatroom right now on http://dollars-bbs.org/chat/index.php so any of you are free to join.
It'll be called DRRR!!US.
I'll be doing Shizuo with my friend as Izaya for one of the days (either Friday or Sunday).
I think we're leaning towards the white & pink versions since it's our hope that it will repel the sun and we won't end up as piles of sweat :'D
Our bodies are not use to the crazy heat of Cali T-T
Depending on the day [cause we'll most likely be cosplaying DRRR on Saturday or Sunday]
I'll be going as Izaya and we have an Anri, Shizuo, and Kida. ;u;
YES you have an Anri! My life is complete! : D

HEY HEY GUYS
YUYA MATSUSHITA (DUDE WHO SINGS TRUST ME) IS COMING TO FANIME
*DYINGDYINGDYIIIIING*
;.....also ova ep 25 came out. I'm too hyped up to type anything else.
I know right? We should have the whole group at the concert!! :D
lol
*going to make the time of the meet-up a couple hours before the concert*
then we can all stand in line together or something.
...Unless it's Friday. Because generally people can't make it on Fridays.
I'm pretty sure it's Saturday. At least, that's when they had it last time.
And I fully support the idea of us all going to the concert in our DRRR!! cosplays.
...and since it's a giaant group, people could run off to the bathroom/to get food/shop instead of being stuck in line all that time.
But I'm getting the lets-all-get-sushi vibes from least year again haha.
... And that didn't work out so well.
But we seem a slight bit more organized this year, so we actually might be able to pull something off.
well, this should be less logistically challenging then shoving a ton of people into a sushi restaurant.
The main problem is people who show up for the gathering but don't sign up in the forums.
speaking of the sushi idea....
Like the plethora (well, like 3 or something) of other Kida cosplayers that showed up last year.
I was like whaaa? I thought I was going to be original. [/sadface]
"Speaking of the sushi idea"... ?
>:]
I bet it would work alot better if we set aside a separate date for only the forumnites.
...Although there's a gut feeling that only you and I will show up.
Doesn't matter. Let's do it.
SOOOO.
if there's anybody else who actually reads through these posts and its not just LastExile and me having a really long conversation, what d'you say to an unofficial sushi meetup?
bring your friends too to avoid being kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to a pharmaceutical company that does human experimentation <:
... Or to avoid being stolen away by rabid fangirls/fanboys.
it'sbasicallythesamething
Awesomeness. I'm excited for the concert! Although I think I will have to just carry my helmet since I wanna, you know, see what's going on, but I'm totally down for dressing up for the concert.
Are you guys suggesting two meetups? Am I following that right?
Yus. It would be the official gathering, which would take place both before and during the concert,
then a second gathering just for people who actually participated in the forums.
hmm sounds interesting but I'm allergic to seafood so yeah...anyways if you guys want to join my chatroom it's open. The usual DRRR!!U.S. as Setton
I'm so down for that concert. holy shit.
And sushi? Both times I've done photoshoots for Durarara, we've gone to sushi.
It's a great idea.
<3
@DarkMoonlitStar: There isn't JUST seafood, you could also have tempura.
There are also lots of Japanese restaurants that serve American food as an alternative. :]
@username_error: Speaking of photoshoots, when we go out to sushi, we definitely need to take multiple pictures. :|
It must be documented for later lulz.
Okay, sidenote, but I just watched episode 25, and Erika made me laugh. So. Hard.
...but she's right, aintshe?
Shizuo and Izaya are like totally the awesomenest couple in Ikebukuro
NO
THE WHOLE WOOOORLD.
Walker would like to join for sushi. ^_^
@summerchrismas838: Never so far has Erika ever been wrong regarding Izaya and Shizuo's relationship.
Never.
ATTACK! RECEIVE! ATTACK! RECEIVE!
@Touya no Miko: Walker is of COURSE welcome! :]
Sunday@9PM: http://chatroom.the-dollars.com/index.php
room'll be DRRR!!US (which is normally hosted by DarkMoonlitStar handle Setton) unless she's not there. Then I'll host it. And it'll have a pretty obvious name. Like FAANNIIIIME or something.
It'll probably be easier to discuss stuff in real time there <:
*EDIT* CHANGED AGAIN HAHAHA.
Haha if you guys want to I'll host the room as usual. I'll most likely be on anyways. Unless summerchristmas838 wants to just host the room as the leader of this gathering. Either way is fine with me. It'd be nice to have an actual discussion on the time slot.
-shudder- Shizaya... it's just... so wrong.... so wrong....
I love erika but.... but she hurts me so....
ugh.......
-shudder-
@summerchristmas838: Can we use this one instead?
http://dollars-bbs.org/chat/index.php
More avatars.
@username_error: So wrong, yet sooooooooooooo right.
@LastExile valid point taken. More icons=really awesome hahaha
Wanna try this site? It's pretty empty right now and there's too many icons haha http://chatroom.the-dollars.com/index.php (http://chatroom.the-dollars.com/index.php) it's the site some person kept posting before.
Someone can make a room called FanimeCon and there's a 30 person limit haha
Okay, guys, the room's up. Feel free to join at any point.
unf too many sites lol
one day we need to pick a stable one and stick with it.

Agreed.
If it's on a Saturday, maybe we can have the gathering around 2pm? A lot of people tend to line super early for MusicFest, especially if the musical guest is someone as well known as Yuya.
We can't have it earlier than 3 due to scheduling difficulties with other gatherings. :[
We're more likely to have it around 4. Besides, you can get seats even if you arrive just half an hour ahead.
It's just an issue of whether or not we want to be in the front. I myself don't have much of a preference.
But when Trust me comes on we all have to scream the song. For real. Like every word.... <3
This is true. And we will do it. Trust me.
;]
I see what you did there.
OH HO HO HO
I knew you would.
Har har, very clever~
Lastexile~
You are online. You should get on BBS.
I'll be Izaya's kanji on there.... <3
Can't, I've got to do some major tanking on Dragon Age: Origins.
Those Darkspawn won't kill themselves!
oooooooooooooooooooooof course. /depressed now
Aw don't be depressed! We shall talk some other time.
Unfortunately my tanking efforts so far have been fruitless, anyhow. ;__;
I might bring out my Erika again. I don't know if I'll have time to remake it or not. Been too lazy this last year. You can put me down as a maybe.
ohheythar
hurhur I still have your cellphone# on my phone for some odd reason >:D
Is anybody interested in chatting this weekend? Like, on Saturday night?
of course
*no life*
super-duper-icon filled site?
NU. It hurts my eyes too much. D;
BBS chat.
Is 9 okay with everyone? Or just you summerchristmas since nobody else has responded.
tasljdf; kthats in 20 minutes
*totally not watching glee right now*
GLEE [/totalgleek] HNNNGG
Created the room. It's called Fanime.
Yeh, I'm creative. Like a boss.
I will be there cosplaying as a female version of Izaya..idk if thats relevant to the gathering but I would like to be there :D
A kanra~ yay!!!!!!
Hey there! Siri reporting in.
I'm going to be cosplaying Kururi (school version) and my sister Midori is going to be cosplaying Mairu! (school version as well)
Can't wait for the gathering!

I'll buy Popsicles~ <3
No one's posted here in a while. So I decided to bump this thread. I just got back from Decepti-kon and it was tons of fun. Just to let you guys know what my Izaya looks like.
Also a friend of mine is coming as Shizuo and we are actually going to fight. <3
(https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffc02.deviantart.net%2Ffs71%2Ff%2F2011%2F108%2Fa%2F2%2Fcomin___for_ya__by_irishgumdrops-d3ebx5z.jpg&hash=58c8cd06bf3c3ac229f75c8b5cccdcbc28b199a7)
waaah you look so much cooler then me >:
HOORAY FIGHTING. ONE OF OUR PHOTOSHOOT SCENES WILL BE SHIZU-CHANS VS IZAYAS.
I've just recently taken pictures of my FULL Celty cosplay including suit,helmet, scythe and all. I've just started posting some on dA but I'm not done yet. If you REALLY want to see the full album like ASAP then send me a PM and you should add me on Facebook.

Both of your guys' cosplays look so much better than mine... ;___; [/bawl]
LastExile. I'm sure that's a lie. You're working hard and that's what counts
Darkmoonlitstar- Amazing Scythe!
summerchristmas838- I want in on that photo shoot. <3
Thanks username_error!
@LastExile I'm sure if you put enough work into it you can turn your cosplay into something amazing as well!
I just posted the last of my pics so here's the link again if you need it xP
http://darkmo0n1tstar.deviantart.com/gallery/28653374 (http://darkmo0n1tstar.deviantart.com/gallery/28653374)
@DarkMoonlitStar Awesome scythe! I think we have the same body suit. Isn't it super hot in it? The collar part feels like it's gonna choke me. I feel like I'm going to need a few breaks to cool down. Also, I'm trying to think of a way to avoid the whole bra outline thing...I was thinking a sports bra might show less underneath, but I haven't tried it out yet.
Also, love your boots way more than mine. Did you sew the top part to be closer to your calf? That was the major problem I was having...that big gap at the top of the boot doesn't really streamline the whole look. -_-
@MeowDesu Thanks! And yeah the suit is pretty warm... well I think a sports bra would show more than you'd want it to show but it's entirely up to you. You should try this stuff out before Fanime rolls around. My boots on the other hand were already made like that and I've had them since I was in 7-8th grade and they haven't failed me yet xD (Hopefully that doesn't mean it'll break on me anytime soon...)
As for your gap problem...I'm not really sure what to do in order to fill that up. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to add socks/leggings to fill it up since it'd probably show outlines with the suit or it'd cause you to feel extremely warm/uncomfortable. Sorry if I'm not much help to you.
Ah, I see. I bought two boots (one pair of ankle boots and one pair of calf-high boots) just in case, so I might opt for the ankle ones to avert that issue. Your boots look like they're in great condition for being older, so I don't think you'll have any problems. :)
I know the bra thing is not a big deal - it's just the first thing my eyes go to when I see myself in the costume...freakin' lines are giving me OCD. If I find a viable solution, I'll post it.
Lol I know what you mean and plus there'd most likely be some people that would "ogle" at us because of our suits and the lines they show. If the ankle boots work then go ahead and stick to them.
I'm sure it'd be helpful if you did find a solution and post it here xP or in some other Cosplay help thread.
It's Kida. Kida's cosplay is the most minimal cosplay I've ever had the honor to cosplay. There is I kid you not nothing more I can do.
But you can bet I will be taking like a bajillion pictures of both of you,
so you'll both just have to deal with my camera being perpetually in your face. :3
trololol
I'll be making my costume the day before *procrastinates*

I would vote for Izaya/Shizuo duet too.
but lololol@sebastian/mukuro
So I'm having a bit of trouble in trying to get Dotachin's hat, everything else I got already. Does anyone know what kind of hat he wears or what it closely resembles?
http://www.amazon.com/Brixton-Heist-Beanie-Hunter-Green/dp/B003ULNBUC/ref=sr_1_47?s=apparel&qlEnable=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1303574107&sr=1-47
What he does is he pulls the brim down to his hairline in the back and the brim in the front to his hairline in the front and it creates a slum look in the back.
Yeah, the beanie might work pretty well if you follow that method. Maybe stretch it out or get a large one if it doesn't have enough slack.
Also, is anyone planning on bringing the CAUTION tape?
What I'll probably do is get that beanie then duct tape the back and front hairlines to create said look.
Hurray for an almost complete Dotachin!
Heeroyuy135 You failed to kill Shizu-chan for me. I'm very disappointed in you. I don't think we can have breakfast anymore.
Hooray for almost complete Dotachin!
@MeowDesu I won't have any..
Btw summerchristmas838 can you take me off the maybe list? I'll be joining you guys for sure since there's a time set. My group would most likely come with me too. If anything you can put them as a maybe xP I'll be having a Shizuo, Izaya and Namie.
Oh a Namie you say? <3
@username_error Well I'll get to try again in a month, right? Then we can have breakfast.
..... hm....................... I'll think about it.
Hooray for almost complete Dotachin!
Last year we didn't have a Dotachin. Good to finally get one.
However, we still don't have a Mikado.
WHY IS THIS?
I might have a friend that's cosplaying Mikado but she's doing the album cover version though, I hope she finishes it in time.
Eboni, are you talking about the Mika Harima cosplayer?
Umm I don't think so, someone else.
hey hey guys~
I've got caution tape!
YEEEEEESSSSSS our gathering is complete!
Hi there! I've actually have the costume now to cosplay as Shinra, so can u put me down for Shinra??? Can't wait for this gathering!!! :)
If anyone cares, I'm the Izaya hauling this around:

except it looks much worse. The powers of photo-editing.
although I'm currently debating the convenience of bringing it with me around the con. Maybe just the gathering.

I wanted to do a head like that (but decided to put my funds into a second last-minute cosplay instead), and THAT, is by far, way better than I would have done. Skillz, you has them.

....all the Celty's can team up and kill me for it.
That'd actually be kind of cool.
Just have all the Celty's chase you around the fountain while you laugh maniacally and hold the Celty head up like a magnificent trophy.
nah it's too much work to run around the fountain with high heeled boots and a body suit that doesn't breathe. Maybe the other Celtys can run and I'll just wait on the other end with my scythe ^_^
If only all you Celties knew how to ride motorcycles.

oh god please no. I have no parkour skills and being chased by people on motorcycles would probably kill me.
CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES. There is a beautiful layer of stray fur strands covering everything in my room.
They'd go really slow to let you get ahead.
Don't worry, I've thought this through. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.
except for one of them accidentally accelerating so that you either get run over or knocked into the fountain but we won't think about that right nao
Stray fur strands are covering my face at the moment.
Probably because my cat was sleeping on my face.
Damn this year is not agreeing with me. Still bringing Izaya but I might have to put everything else on hold. Freaking sucks.

:( At least it's an awesome cosplay to do, right?
And how can you not finish L on time?? Isn't it just jeans and a white shirt and maybe a little eyeliner? :P
Yeah with L. I'm super super SUPER anal about cosplay, so I would have to get more makeup to cover my eyebrows and sticky sandals so I can walk with the illusion of being barefoot. But I didn't end up going on that track.
You should just walk around with bare feet. Like a boss.

that's actually not allowed, believe it or not. Health issues or something.
gasd;kjflas ONE WEEK GUYS WHO ELSE IS EXCITED.
Health issues? My goodness, people are paranoid nowadays.
WE WE WE. SO EXCITED. : D
Yes, Dotachin is complete!
Although I feel stupid for not checking my closet before going shopping, now I have to return a $20 jacket that I got for him.
Also the clothing material may not be accurate as in the anime, it's close enough without having to go out of my way and I'll have the wig beanie. I plan to destroy my Mori wig with duct tape once I'm done with the Ouran Gathering to create that beanie poof effect in time for the DRR!! Gathering on Saturday.
I'm excited x3 Though since I'll be in character while I'm Celty I won't be talking xP (at least I'll try not to)
I'm trying to figure out if I want to go to the gathering as Izaya or Aoba..... -ponder-
Hey guys! I was wondering, are there actually any Baccano! cosplayers planning to be at this gathering? I sort of skimmed through most of the thread and didn't really see any. A friend of mine and her group of friends are cosplaying from it, and would like to be a part of this, but they would be more encouraged to go if they knew whether there'd be other cosplayers from the series or not. Even if they're the only ones though, they will probably want to represent anyways haha, so I'm just asking this on her behalf! Thanks peeps!

We'd be happy to have 'em join in. No one's said they'll be doing Baccano yet, but I'm sure that we'll get some that show up at the con.

OH GOD PLEASE HAVE THEM COME. There are quite literally no other cosplayers from Baccano and it makes me depressed ;_;.
Thanks for the responses! I'll let them know! If they are all able to make it, then you guys should have an Isaac, Miria, Rail Tracer, Jacuzzi, Nice and Graham. And I'll probably be there taking pictures. So see you all in a week!
YES. If they come, I will take SO MANY PICTURES.
Don't know how I missed this thread for this long.
I'm returning as Shizuo :)
I'll show up as Nice from Baccano!
Actually last-minute changed my costume, I'm going as Izaya ^^

Thank you! Don't worry, if you look at the pictures his hair is a LOT shorter than mine, but the trendy cosplayers seem to like longer hair or something. I was thinking of getting a trim.
Really? That sounds great, I'll try to show up then :D
There's gonna be an Aniplex gathering at 5:00 PM on Saturday at the Crunchyroll booth. They'll apparently be doing something to show how awesome Durarara is.
Also, it's been confirmed, Yuya Matsushita will in fact be at the DRRR!! panel this Saturday. :]
Dang I would go to the panel but I got the ALL FF gathering at 1pm...maybe I should be late... hrm... (My schedule is packed because I have a cosplay group and...5 cosplays this year...)
I can make it as Firo Prochainezo from Baccano (if this is still going to be a Durarara!!/Baccano! double gathering).

HEY BROS
since I probably won't be online between now and Fanime, here's to a happy one!
See you guys at the gathering!
(...or the panel if you're going to that.)
It's too bad I missed this gathering...I was able to finally get into Celty around 4:20 and I just saw another CeltyxShizuo at the fountain area.

^Ditto. You were probably one of the ones I saw when I got there late also. O:
I thought the gathering was going to be longer; wasn't aware that they were limiting the gatherings to just 30min this year. T.T That's too short. O:
I got there a tiny bit late, but it already seemed to be wrapping up by the time I showed up. Did it start early? Also, anyone got pictures they want to share from it? :)
Did anyone get me as Dotachin stomping on the cellphone after the Izayas were done?
Also thanks for throwing the gathering, I had much fun and got a lot of photos from it!

I got there @ around 4 and it seem liked it did start early. I'd rather see a gathering start a couple minutes late than a couple minutes early.
I wanted to see the whole group that gathered up for this Dx
Well I cosplayed as Celty on Friday, Saturday and Monday. Most likely some of you have seen me around with my flaming black scythe. I'm on a quest to find pictures of myself x3 I most likely saw a few of you around too.
The gathering started three minutes early or so. Wasn't that early. I was wondering why we cut it so quickly, I didn't realize there was a time limit. That freaking sucks.
We cut out really quickly. That was probably why a bunch of people missed us, because I know I saw lots of Durarara cosplayers that hadn't been at the gathering later on in the weekend.
We actually went over the restricted time limit for the gathering. Apparently Fanime staff had limited gathering times to only 30 minutes. There were people telling the photographers to hurry up.
Restricted time limits? Photoshoots are not events organized by the convention. They are organized by people like you and myself. I don't think there should be any rules for time limits.

Due to the large # of gatherings that happen over the 4 days there are guidelines. A returning gathering of 60+ cosplayers from the previous year is allowed 1 hour in the location. If a gathering is returning but was under that # then usually the gathering is allowed 30 minutes. On a Saturday or Sunday it is more enforced than on a Friday or Monday due to the large #'s of gatherings & cosplayer run events. If a gathering/event grows to that size then more time can be allowed. When an organizer checks in at the table we usually let them know if that has happened and help to make the transition for both gatherings more comfortable. We are all out to have a good time but we all must work with each other sometimes to make that happen.
As for a photoshoot: This is different than a gathering, however if a gathering is listed during the time & location that someone is having a photoshoot then the gathering/event takes precedents over the photoshoot.
For a better understanding of why there are guidelines then know this: Last year there were 76 gatherings and 23 cosplayer run events... that is 99 so to prevent problems guidelines were set up to accomodate as many as possible.
You are welcome to still organize a gathering, but if it doesn't follow the guidelines then it will not be listed/advertised, it doesn't qualify for any of the perks that official gatherings/events are eligible for, and an official gathering/event will take precedent over an unofficial one, just to name a few differences. FanimeCon has established an official and recognized department for the cosplayer gatherings and cosplayer run events. There is not another con on the west coast to my knowledge that has an department overseen by the convention itself.
Love to the cosplayers!

SO
months and months later, I've dropped by to say that I probably won't be able to run the gathering next year. So I'm locking the thread. Anybody who wants to, feel free to start another one.
