Technically you know who I'll be, but I'll make it official and post anyway, lol. Sign me up for Tomoe 5000. And maybe someone will actually recognize me! XD
Updated! ^_^
The gathering officially doubled in size... we have a whole 2 people!
Sign me up for wintertime Kagura! ;D
Hooray! Another person! Total of... 3.
Hopefully more people will magically appear. ^_^
shinpachi here. booya.
if I can make the time ill go as Gintoki, still trying to decide on which cosplay's I want to wear this year...Last I checked the Jump one interfered with my Fairy Tails (I can't resist freezing my nipples off as Natsu)
Well if we get a few more people I think we'll count as a legitimate gathering and we can do this whenever. Does anyone want to throw out a day or time? I'm leaning towards Sunday sometime.
Oh hell yes, I am tottaly in! Im will cosplay Gintoki btw, also u think we should having it before the Jump gathering just so we don't end up getting delayed because the organizer is late or some nonsense.
The gathering last year was great. I want to take pics again, but I'm cosplaying something else for the Shonen Jump gathering. (If you are going to have your gathering before it). Unless I can speed-change outfits...
How does noon sound? I'd like to do it early on Sunday because my afternoon is going to be taken up entirely by Masquerade stuff, and I have another gathering to go to at 1:30.
Noon sounds dandy!
I think noon would work for me, if I may join you! I was Zenzo Hattori last year, and if I cannot get another outfit together in time, I will be Zenzo again.
Awesome! I'm so glad we've got a bunch of people coming now! ^_^
Sign me up for Kyubei Yagyu [lighter purple outfit] please. ^^
Updated! ^_^
Thanks!
How many people does a gathering need to be complete?
& where is the location of this soon-to-be-gathering?
I don't know what "FiF CE MS" stands for. -o-

We count as a complete gathering now. ^_^ We have more than four people. XD
FiF CE MS stands for Fountains Out Front - Convention Entrance - Marriott Side. =)
I sent in the time request for this gathering, but I'm still waiting to hear back from the great and powerful BSaphire. Once that happens we'll be all set. =D
That's fabulous. :D
And how should we get the word out about the Gintama Gathering, because I know there were quite a few Gintama cosplayers last year.
& thanks for decoding 'FiF CE MS'. ^^
I'm looking forward to this gathering.
At con: anytime you see someone dressed in a Gintama cosplay, let them know when and where the gathering is!
I'll check out if there's anything on cosplay.com. ^_^
Edit: There was a Gintama-labeled thread over at cosplay.com, so I posted all the gathering info there too. =D
Does anyone have any ideas for particular photo ops or anything special they want to do at the gathering? Might as well throw around some thoughts now.

Well we can do a few poses from the anime, both funny, serious, & whatever.
I can put up a bunch of pics, & you guys can choose what would be best. :)
And no worries, I'll spread word if I see any Gintama cosplayers.
What do you guys think?
Pics of Gintoki, Shinpachi and Kagura in that pose where they announce themselves as the Yorozuya (dunno how to describe it, but hopefully someone will know what I mean). Otaku Toushi and Shinpachi duking it out.
Otaku Battle :

Yorozuya? : http://www.gamekyo.com/images_1/avatar/big/9b257ee76921ae8c6804f7633f0bd17420110110175401.jpg
I hope this is what you meant. ^^;
Any more suggestions?
Definitely Otaku Battle. XD There was also the gag of Otaku Toushi taking pictures of Kagura's "cosplay," you guys could do that. Perhaps a picture of Gin/Kagra/Shinpachi's glasses? *think think think* lol
(I have no idea what poses I'll be doing, since I'm cosplaying a figurine in an anime. XD)

But the thing is, who will be cosplaying as the "Otaku-ed" versions in that episode?
But eh, it's alright; We can do whatever poses we want. :D
Who're you cosplaying as PsychicPsycho?

Tomoe 5000, the Sailor Moon ripoff that Tosshi/Otaku Toushi is obsessed with. http://images.wikia.com/gintama/images/d/d0/Tomoe5000.jpg
And I'm half-asleep, but what do you mean by, "But the thing is, who will be cosplaying as the "Otaku-ed" versions in that episode?" ^^;
Nice ref. pic. & what I meant was who will cosplay as the original characters that have different outfits in that episode.
I know, sounds pretty confusing. -o-
For example, who's going to cosplay as Hijikata in Otaku form??

http://www.cosplay.com/photo/2866669/
Go half asleep people, b/c I am too~
Rette is gunna be Otaku Tosshi. She's why I'm making Tomoe. ^^ I know there are other otaku alternate outfits, but I have no idea if anyone else is going to cosplay one. But we should totally get shots of Tosshi VS Shinpachi, lol
No problem!
Now that we have otaku-based Gintama cosplayers, we can hold that lil' battle you were talkin' bout. :)
I'm looking for the gathering on Cosplay.com D:

Thanks!!!
No prob, I'd just found it about 15 minutes ago, lol. There's only a couple posts at the moment, but oh well. ^^
Hopefully, word will get out, b/c I remember there were quite a lot of cosplayers for Gintama.. or maybe that was just me?
I didn't get to go to last years Gintama gathering, but I've heard there were a decent amount of people. Here's hoping more show up!
How bout a Yorozuya Eating/Fighting scene? It oughta be good cuz watching the Yorozuya eat is like watching a pack of hungry wolves! XD

Aren't there a lot of scenes like that? :D
But yes! That sounds like another idea too.
Anyone wanna bring food?
I can bring the fake pizza I had last year. BTW, I'm signed up for the Cosplay Chess game at 1pm on Sunday, if any of you are interested in going to that right after the gathering.

Fake pizza? Sounds different, but ok!
Last year, I was about to play Cosplay Chess, but I had other plans that hour. Hopefully, I can play this year.

Fake pizza would be awesome! I was thinking that it might be kinda hard to include real food in a gathering/photoshoot, lol

Hey Rette, I was just wondering, about when would we finish? I'm not in a hurry or anything, I'm just curious! ;D
It's hard to say, but if everyone is there on time and we don't have too many late additions, we'll probably be done by say 12:45? I have another gathering at 1:30 so I'll definitely be running away by 12:50 or so. It all depends on how many people we end up with and how many individual shoots we do. It looks like we've got plenty of ideas!
Hope that's helpful. ^.^
Thanks for the info Rette!
I might have to attend another gathering on the day of Gintama's gathering, but I'm still not sure.
Anyone have any more ideas?
If I'm not already preoccupied in something, I'll show up; I'm cosplaying Kamui.

Awesome! I really hope you can make it... you're the only bad guy so far. XD
Yay potential Kamui/Kagura fight scenes! ^^

Indeed. XD Now if only we could get our hands on a Takasugi we'd be set for villains. We'll have to keep an eye out for one.
We should also try and grab any Shinsengumi that are wandering around... my Otaku Toushi hardly counts. XD
Are either of our Gin's or Zenzo bringing a Jump?

I can probably borrow a friend's Japanese Shonen Jump that has Gintama & Sket Dance etc. etc. for the gathering if ya'll like. :D
Damn, we need at least ONE Shinsengumi character. [A Hijikata, Okita, or Kondou would be nice.]
I can also bring my black iPod playing station & play Gintama songs. :) [I'd have to compile a music playlist. Are there any song requests out there??]
I dunno if we'd want music at the gathering... We'll probably be too busy taking pictures to notice it, and I'm kinda afraid that if you're not keeping a super close eye on it, someone might kick it or step on it or something. Though you can always bring it and if you wanna keep the gathering going longer as it starts to die down, you can grab some cosplayers and make an impromptu party, lol.
If you're going to make a Gintama playlist, I would definitely add some Otsuu-chan and songs off the soundtrack(s?). ^^
Okay, then I probably I won't bring my iPod dock, seeing that we may all be too busy takin' pics.
I really hope there is an Otae-san that I can take 'couple pictures' with.. cuz' you know.. Kyubei loves her.. yaddayadda .O.

:'( I wont make it to the gathering again this year, they moved the fairy tail gathering up to the same time... I cant resist freezing my nipples off as Natsu :)
I'll have my SJ copy from last year, unless I can pick up a more recent copy before Sunday!

I discovered a Gintoki armed w/ a Jump who didn't know about this gathering. Needless to say, he's now going.
You're welcome

GODMYOH.
I'd like to thank everyone who came to this gathering! I had a lot of fun and I hope you all did too. ^_^
I'll try and get my pictures posted ASAP but I have a couple papers to write first. XD
I'm sad more people didn't show up, but it was still awesome! We had a fun little group. ^_^
Thanks for organizing the gathering! Hopefully more will show next year (my friend definitely wants to cosplay Kagura and I am gonna drag her with me!). Here are the pics my friend and I took.
https://picasaweb.google.com/Bunnriddler/GintamaGatheringFanime2011?authkey=Gv1sRgCLanveK32q609QE&feat=directlink
You guys definitly need a Kagura in her gangster rap get-up from episode 11-12 for next year. That's be epic as hell

I'm so very sorry I didn't attend, I deeply regret it. Some personal matters got in the way and I had to leave a day earlier than expected.
I'm sorry if I inconvenienced you and that I couldn't tell you until now.
Don't worry about it. ^_^ I hope everything's okay!
