Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Heathcliff, and I am the leader of the guild Knights of the Blood Oath. I'm calling out for a gathering for all players for an informational meeting to defeat the next Boss. All players of any class and level are most cordially invited.
Date: Saturday
Time: 10:30 am
Floor (location): G8a

Don't forget that:
Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering this year. If you do not wish to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.
If you are doing a cosplay from any game or the real world you are also welcome! (insta-credit to anyone who does a nerve-gear cosplay XP)
Also please keep in mind that this is going to be a smaller gathering, but inevitably some people won't be able to come once times are announced. There is only so much I can do about this and would suggest trying to come for at least part of the time. (The only guarantee I can make is that this gathering will not conflict with the Avatar the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra gathering.)
Due to some scheduling issues, we only officially have our spot for 30 minutes.
I just saw the full gathering list, and the Bleach gathering has been put in our spot at 11am. This technically gives us 30 minutes in our spot. Unfortunately I think that it is too much trouble to request changing our time as well as the fact that Beach gathering is a lot bigger than us and has more weight.
Inevitably when the area gets flooded with the combination of SAO and Beach Characters, I say we unofficially move the official gathering to the park. There we will have a lot more room to take photos.
For those of you who have never been to Fanime before, the park is 1.5 blocks away.
So the plan is this:
10:00 am -- The pre-release party begins. I, Heathcliff will be hanging out in the G8 Gathering Area after I check into the Cosplay Gathering Table. We can do photos as people arrive if you all want.
10:30 am -- The OFFICIAL Gathering begins and you all can LOG IN
11:00 am -- We move to the park area when the area gets flooded with Bleach Characters.
XX:00 am -- Gathering Ends and you all can LOG OUT.
Does this sound like a good plan? I'm really sorry about all of this confusion and change of plans. I hope that you all can come to the gathering!

Yay =D Hopefully I'll be good enough with sewing and have enough time to make a Sachi cosplay. =3 We'll see as we get closer. ^^
wow i'm so exited there'll be a SAO gathering :D i'm looking foward to fanime ^-^

My boyfriend and I are going to try and make it as Asuna and Kirito :)
Co-leader asuna reporting in~ and i will be bringing my bf whos gonna be kirito

I will be attending as Kirito, maybe I will meet an Asuna there <3
the anime season is finished, just not sure for a season 2 although.
I realize that...but this was posted in September 2012.
I will come as the SAO form of Kirito. :D
I might come as Kirito as well, i need to get my cosplay soon
I might go as Akihiko Kayaba (cloaked form) lol XD
My friends and I will have a small SAO group on Sunday. :] I'll be Lisbeth and we'll have a Kirito, Asuna, Sachi, Silica, Klein, and Agil!

cardboard and spray paint.... good enough...
My friend and I will be there as Kirito and Heathcliff
I hope nobody asks me for a shot with my sword, sadly my Elucidator has broke and while I know there will be cries to fix it, I have and tried but it is to be a prop. So, that will be in its sheath for the weekend, but, has anyone received word on if there is a Yui? I thought that would be one giant family picture right there will all the Kiritos and Asunas.
I'll be Klein! And I'm working on Asuna with/for a friend :D
hey everyone,
what versions are you all planning on doing?
I was thinking of doing asuna's ALO blue undine ver
oh yeah and oops, I voted wrong on the poll... I meant to pick saturday afternoon...

bring on the burritos please :3
So are we starting a SOA: Made in Mexico gathering?
God dammit gundam fine sure
So if we really do do this gathering, is it going to be a subsidiary of the main gathering or is it going to be separate?
I would say a silly/random hat+pose combo, but it's just my opinion.
Well I guess I should start a roster of people who want to do the after-gathering gathering...
Who wants to wear a mustache and take a pic immediately after the SOA gathering?
Depending on when the time is I might join as Asuna (SAO Blood Oath version). Might drag a friend with me.
as long as it isn't on friday, Its okay with me... I still have school on fri and can't skip...
but, is it too cliche to come as kirito as well? Cause I want to come as Kirito as well..
I will be going as Kirito.
At this rate, Yui will not know who's her papa.
SAO characters with a mustache? im toottallly in!
I bought the mustaches >.> just gotta wait for cinco de mayo to get more stuff it i becomes available at the dollar store..
edit::: why are most of the people who are attending this gathering- couples?
Everyone, if you could please re-vote for times at the poll that would be greatly appreciated.
If Everything works out I might be going as Lisbeth :) I dont get out from behind my AA table much.
I'm going to be sachi, but you already knew that :D
Not much love for Gun Gale Online I see. Well, it's tentative, but I will be crossplaying Sinon from the "Gun Gale Online" arc of Sword Art Online.
Attending as Sinon from GGO as well. My friend should be crossplaying as GGO Kirito!
I'll be a KoB Kirito and also bring an Asuna with me >.>
I'm cosplaying as Alicia Rue from ALO and my friend is cosplaying as Lady Sakuya. Hopefully this gathering won't conflict with anything else we're going to!
Not to be offensive, but it would be awesome if we can get Death Gun from GGO for the Sinon's. (^_^)"
I do not see any problem with anyone cosplaying as any of the Laughing Coffin Guild or from Gun Gale Online PROVIDED that everyone follows the convention and peace bonding rules.
As of now I'm planning on a Lyfa cosplay
:) Can't wait for fanime this year!
I originally voted for Sat. afternoon but I'd like to change that vote for Sun. afternoon. I found out my graduation is on Sat morning til afternoon so yeah...
me and my boyfriend is gna be ALO asuna and kirito :) hopefuly we make it cuz i would love to go to one of these xD
Hopefully I lose a lil bit more weight so i wont look too debu to look like kirito FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
one thing I'm proud of my black hair....
No wig.. and I just have to get it cut in his style...
HEH HEH HEH!
Going to have to scrap Sachi. Waaay too much on my plate leading up to Fanime. ^_^;;; soooorrry. D= Wish I could join you guys!
How soon will you figure out when we're meeting up?

FOSHOOOO!
I'll be going as Sachi, my boyfriend as Kirito and our friend as Klein :3 Can't wait.
Bumping out of the wall :P
hi, sadly, I will not be cosplaying asuna this year due to lack of funds but I will be cosplaying Tifa Lockhart and possibly Marceline if I can make the wig work for both cosplays ^^;;
As I said before I voted for Sun. so I won't be able to make it to the gathering for this year because I have graduation on Sat. at 10am. Maybe next year =/

@Firemage1000 and all the SAO cospeeps:
It is not the Bleach cosplayers fault for the move, rather mine since I found out that G9 has all but disappeared in the last week. I slid them over to G8 because it was open for their hour since they are a returning 60+. I figured that you guys would be up in the G8 a area and not really be affected by them till maybe the tail end of yours. When I looked at your numbers I didn't feel that it would reach 60 + this year, though it could as I learned with Pokemon, so everyone's patients and understanding would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah? I'm really nervous/excited--and I don't fully know what to expect!
I am actually doing my master's thesis in anthropology on cosplay and the cosplay community, so this is my big participant observation study, and this gathering is definitely going to be more participation than observation. Out of curiosity, would any of you be interested in giving me an interview after the gathering?
-raises hand- YOOO i would like to.
also update on my cosplay. im not sure if my cosplay will arrive in time. darn me for money constraints and worrying.

ugh I that when that happens. I missed out on a lot of off site gatherings waiting for Lisbeth to show up. Good luck!
Hey Everyone! I have a job for you!
We have now officially hit the 7 day mark before Fanime.
Your job is to verbally tell people that our gathering will be on Saturday at 10:30(ish) am at the G8 gathering location if you see or know SAO Cosplayers on that Friday. Spread the word.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
I can't wait for next Saturday!
Getting really really really really excited...
I hope I can focus on my work for the next week or so,
I KNOW I'm studying for finals adn I keep taking breaks to watch Fanime cosplay videos AHHHHHHH can't wait to see all the SAO cosplay!
Kirito and Sinon are a go. I'm working on my group's Death Gun. None of us will be carrying weapons so please don't jump our Death Gun D:
dont mind me, stalking the mail and trying to squeeze these last few college assignments in
SWORD CAME IN TODAY waiting for costume to arrive tomorro, DEBU MEXICAN KIRITO IS A GO
Count me out on Sinon sadly at last minute. The cosplay I got just today of shoddy quality, and I need to rework it. Will be still attending the gathering to take pics though... :(
I got my cosplay ready. Also got mustaches to share >: P
Hello, this is my 1st post on these threads aswell as my 1st year cosplaying. I will show up in a Sterben outfit from GGO. (was a last minute thing so is not really that good.) Hope to see you guys on saterday.
Ok One last information dump before I have to SWITCH to my phone where updating the forums is a nightmare. (aka practically impossible to do)
Remember that the gathering:
10:00 am -- The pre-release party begins, beta testers can start.
10:30 am -- The OFFICIAL gathering begins and everyone can LOG IN
11:00 am -- We move to the park area when the area gets flooded with Bleach Characters.
XX:00 am -- Gathering Ends and you all can LOG OUT.
Also Sword Art Online director Tomohiko Ito and producer Shinichiro Kashiwada are in the United States right now at Anime Boston (Fanime is better XP). If anyone has a twitter, lets use #Fanime2013 #FanimeSAO #FanimeSwordArt to try and grab their attention and show our support from California.
The weather is going to be 65~70 degrees. Don't forget to stay hydrated, and do not overheat. Bring Water! (Fatal Scythe: I'm looking at you)
Please everyone! Remind people that Saturday at 10am is the gathering. The more people the better the gathering will be!
@Rhornez: Lets save the derp photos for the park where we can actually have Kiritos napping.
I have to set up my art table at 10:00 but 'll try to get to the park in time. :D
could someone send me the photos of the gathering? I was a kirito too...'
I will post a link of some of the pictures that my friend took of the meet up, but it might take him some time to get to them because he took over 4000 pictures at fanime. Btw, I was the dual wielding Kirito at the meet up.

That narrows it down to about 7 people....XP
Thanks for posting photos here!
