Bay Area Conventions is originally a group created by Foxberry on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=360567740380) that covers local events and conventions around the Bay Area. We have a following of over 460 people, and are always looking for more members. We meet usually monthly on a Saturday or Sunday during the Non-Rainy-season of SF.
For this event we will be allowing ANY sort of cosplay and anyone is welcome to attend and to find out more about us. We will be meeting for about an hour, hour and a half or so and then go out to grab food most likely.If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
When signing up please list what character you will cosplay and from what series.

Updated numbers.
Hey Foxberry! Noon is a little early for me as I was planning on working half day before driving down to the con. I'll see if I can put in for PTO and if so, my daughter I and will be there. Saito Haijime (me) and Heisuke Todo (my daughter) from Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan.
Yeah it is a bit early, but ill try to leave early and get there in time ^_^ Ill be cosplaying as a Raichu (steampunk style) from Pokemon XD
Elflady: Sorry it's so early but with the pickings for hours that aren't booked, I felt that it would be best to try to choose something around the mid range rather than something so late not many people would like to come (considering late night activities) or too early because as we know Friday is a work/school day. I hope to see you and your daughter there. ^^
SweetNiar: We'll be glad to have you. I understand that it's it's a bit early, but with time constrictions, I didn't want to step on anyone's toes who already made events these days. ^^
Updated # of attendees
I'm hoping to come!!! I'll be dressed in a modified Princess Peach cosplay and hopefully with a live genderbent yoshi X3<3

jobiberry; Sorry for the late response, you're now put on the list. ^^
Natalie here, coming as Hungary
Nick might come, he doesn't know yet, he will be Austria :P (He's DerangedGenius on the forum)

Edit

Thanks for sharing with us! ^^
Hey guys!
I'm going to be hosting this event again. Next year we plan on having more improv and photoshoots!
Please let me know what date and time are BEST for you. Right now tentative plans are 5pm Friday.
Just to let people know that between now and our meetup at Fanime we will be hosting BAC gatherings monthly.
Feel free to check out our website and forums!

First time cosplay, will attend as Bismarck Waldstein from Code Geass.
Ed and I should be there! We don't know as what though, depends on what day. Though I'd like to come as White and Black Mages.
Hoping to be there next year, seeing that we're partners and all :)
Dunno what I'll be cosplaying as
Sorry for the late response to this, I need to keep up to date with the forums here.
Anyway thanks for letting me know guys. I know there was a bit of confusion for people last year as to where the gathering was held even though we set the location appropriately. I think we may have a sign with BAC written on it for people to find us considering our cosplays end up from everything out there to white toast, haha.
I would love to attend!
I would be Hungary from Hetalia!
XP I would if it weren't that fact that I can't go Friday. PFfffffttttt. ;A;
Haunter, thanks for letting us know. My apologies for the slow update on this.
I'll be...waiting in line for the swap meet.
I'll see if I can step away for a few minutes though.
Swapmeet line is at 5 on friday? I think we can change the time for this then. :)
If 3pm would be easier for people I can apply for that time instead. :D Nothing is set yet.
Ill try to be there if it doesn't interfere with any other activities I have planned or cosplay gatherings. This will also be my boyfriend's very first convention, so i have to be respectful of what he wants to do as well.
I will be going as Te-Ke from Midnight Navy~

Haunter, thanks for letting us know. My apologies for the slow update on this.
No problem! I am so excited to attend, I am going for all for days and I want to do so much.
Going to try my best to get out from behind my table and go :) Maybe I could even make a special coupon for those that attend to bring to my table for a BAC button. I wouldnt mind designing one for you foxy~
If it's at 3 PM, then I can probably stay for the entire duration. If it remains at 5 PM, then I'll have to leave early to make it to another gathering that starts at 6 PM.
I like the sound of 3 because of other gatherings and the swap meet.
Then, we will move it to 3!
Okay! Times are updated 3pm on Friday. :)
Hm~ I'll go, but I'm not sure what cosplay to wear yet...
I am coming! Cosplay for Friday not set yet.

Hey guys! *waves enthusiastically* Can't wait for Fanime!
I will probably be wearing PonPonPon!Len Kagamine since the Vocaloid gathering is that day. XD Wooo~ Love you guys!
-Suta
Me and Sneha are in.
MLP gathering. Sorry. :(
I should be able to make it!! ^^
I'll be cosplaying Honey from Ouran at that time. :'D
Finally getting my cosplay schedule in order, I'll be Maid Yoko, Ed's not cosplaying that day.
Its right before the Fursuit gathering, so looks like I will be in my Gt Robo suit. Hopefully it stays near the front of the convention too
Fursuit Gathering info
Date: Friday
Time: 4pm
Meeting place: Front of the Convention Center.
;_; I'll still be in school around that time. I might end up getting there at 4 or 5 pm.
I'll be in as Alfred F Jones (America) from Hetalia
I'm going to be wearing my Gumi neko maid outfit to this since the Vocaloid event is earlier this day and I plan to have Jace take some photoshoot images of my cosplay this day as well.
Thanks guys! :D

We sent it in a while back Sapphire :< It was listed on the main list too.
Hi, I'm Maki! I just found this group on Facebook (I'm "Savage Pancake" over there).
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in person, I am kind of new to the area and this is my first Fanime. :)
I'll be on a panel Friday evening, so I'll be cosplaying Rose Lalonde from MSPA/Homestuck for Friday.
Awesome, we'll be glad to have you. :)
Well, I haven't heard from Sapphire over what may have happened; but with hope we'll still be on.
Can't wait to see everyone there!
Let's get down to the last bar and get our costumes finished guys! :D
If we arent on the listed schedule will we hold a little unofficial gathering for BAC?
Sign me up! I'll be there in a bit of a group that will go as follows:
Me ~ Fem!Shizuo Heiwajima
Sis ~ Fem!Izaya Orihara
Friend ~ Fem!Masaomi Kida
I cant find anyone!!
Apologies, there were confusions going on with this event.
It wasn't listed on the boards as we feared. That being said, there was also some communication issues. We did meet but we were beside the nintendo gathering. apologies again for those who missed the gathering.
