Otakon 2011 - once more, with feeling!

[Rin Kagamine]

Very interested to see how you plan to make the tails work; to this date I haven't seen anyone do a set of tails that looked right to me, and none of the Rans at Comiket even had tails.

(I guess we should make a topic for cosplay xD this one is for otakuthon planning and yet we talk about cosplay xD)

I always held off on it, even though I thought it would be a good fit in Alice's. Considering how I never contribute anything there, I'd feel better about it. Still, I dunno if it would be just the same 4 people or so talking about stuff they made.

My plan is to make a backpack of sorts out of nylon webbing and a large assortment of straps and latches. I'll put two bands of nylon around my waist and two around the top to form the backpack. Where the bands intersect, I'll put enough webbing to make a 3x3 matrix. Each part of the 3x3 matrix will get a latch. Each latch with be attached to a D-ring that is attatched directly to the tail. This makes the tails capable of being being detached for easy transport WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. Each tail has a 14 gauge wire for support and allowing the wearer to bend it in the desired direction.

Finally put in my vacation time at work. The next month and a half can't pass fast enough. :3

[Gramity]

I for one would be all for a cosplay thread so I can go on and on about the trials and tribulations behind my silly hobby and how OH GOD WHY DID IT TAKE ME 15 HOURS TO SEW A RUFFLE SKIRT AHHHHHH

I just got back from Anime NEXT where I run the game shows so I am most definitely looking forward to Otakon where I don't have any responsibilities other than see panels and events, meet fellow fans and consume adult beverages in silly costumes.

same except for the beverage ^^ I don't drink much I better like to laugh about those who drink too much

Then you can pull up a chair and watch as I remove my ability to walk and stand up, because I will drink too much. :3

[Gramity]

ahaha ca't wait for next year

[Edible]

This doesn't make any sense at all.

[triangles]

Too many adult beverages.

Whatever you do, stay away from Mima's staff.  And me, for that matter.  =|

[Earzchen]

Sorry for feeling a little slow and newb to be humble, but is the Otakon a cosplay event as my instinct says?

[Momiji]

...is the Otakon a cosplay event as my instinct says?

General Japanese cultural convention.  Anime, cosplay, games, etc. etc.... see here.

Dare I ask why? Cuz I wants to know, ne? :]

[Momiji]

Let's just say I have a thing about drinks getting dumped on me while in costume.  X]

Spoiler:

we do have fun though~

hmmm I don't want any on my costume too

[Menorah Jams, Pham]

Ain't no MotK drinking party without Santa Claus and Wrench-Boy.  ;_;

[Reddyne]

Eugxh. I'm still as terrible with alcohol as I ever was. I can stomach a bit of Bailey's and kahlua with milk, but not much else. I'm too depressing for anyone's good once I've had a few, which is typically also a few too many. Thing is, I'll have someone with me who might want to drink a bit, but she's been trying to avoid it recently. We'll see.

This.  Another reason why I avoid drinking.

[Edible]

I'll be sure to pour out a 40 for momiji's outfit

[Momiji]

Just make sure it's clear, whatever it is.

[triangles]

STAFF + SANGRIA + MOMIJI
NEVER 4GET

I'll be sure to pour out a 40 on momiji's outfit

[Mimachiro]

Fortunately, I don't start dropping things when I drink too much, since that implies I have the dexterity to hold them in the first place. The only good news is I don't weigh too much, so when I finally pass out, it'll be easy picking me up. :3

[Gramity]

ugh if everyone falls out except 2-3 ? we can't start picking everyone up

[Mimachiro]

ugh if everyone falls out except 2-3 ? we can't start picking everyone up

In that case, just kick me really hard. It'll work eventually. :derp:
