New Year's Cosplay
« on: November 15, 2008, 01:27:30 am »
I thought it would be awesome to have a New Year's Cosplay gathering - maybe a party or something. This is still in the super early fetal stages but if y'all have any ideas I'd love to hear them!
I guess we could do any number of things from maybe having party at a local park to going to a pre-planned event in mob form... I dunno - what do you all think?

I think this is pretty cool idea, but I've already got at least 2 parties planed for that night. T.T

Okay.... Oh! I know! I'm having a sleep over that night with a couple of friends (I'm afraid only friends approved by my mum can stay the night at my house - I'm sure you understand) but there's a park near by called Wolf Run Park at sheridan and 75th, we could hold a party there. they have covered tables, baseballs feilds, and all the usual kid things. There's also another one down the block that has better equipment - I can't remember the name though. Anywho - I can provide sustanace and stuff 'cuse I live near an asian supermarket that sells pocky and ramen and all the busual stuff... We can even make it a cosplay event. Have a theme or just have everyone dress up as a favourite. What do you think?

I like that idea a lot it sounds like fun.
i think just dressing up as whatever you wanted to go as would be fun.

Most likely, as fun as an all night party would be it's not very realistic and my mother is a bit of a stickler when it comes to things like that. So far we (myself and one of my overnight guests, Bri) are thinking of doing a broad theme - like evil bastards. In which case I'll likely be Orochimaru - i donno why but I have this urge to cosplay him...

Okay, I've set up a poll - so if you're interesting in attending the party just vote on which day you want. Also, the recent snow has made me realize that the weather may not be the best for an outdoor party in early January - so in case of a poor forecast there are some pretty big event rooms at Colledge Hill Library that they may be willing to let us use. Oh! And what time would be best for everyone? I'm thinking 2ish but I donno about everyone's scheduals.

Okie Dokie, it's been a couple of days and although I only got one vote - it still decides I guess...
Event: New Year's Cosplay Party
Date: Thursday January 1, 2009
Time: 2 o'clock
Location: Pending
Other: The cosplay theme is evil bastards - costume is not required but would be totally awesome.

Ideas for games or other such things to do at the party are totally welcome and needed - so feel free.

Right now I'm thinking either Wolf Run Park at Sheridan and 75th or Colledge hill library in case of bad weather. Although, if you can think of any place better I'd really appreciate the help. I just want to make sure we're somewhere everyone can get to easily and enjoy themselves.

Okay, I may have a location. It's not set yet, but we may be able to have at my house (apartment actually) but it's still pending with mum so no absolutes just yet - but it is an indoor place (obviously). Also, while not required, it'd be really awesome if people could bring along food - I'll still provide most of it but maybe doing a potluck type thing would make life a little easier on me. I also had the idea of doing a white elephant gift exchange. For those of you who don't know, a white elephant gift exchange is were you bring a gift (it can be god awful if you want but it's usually nicer to at least try and bring something other people may like) with out spending a penny of your money. Basically grab something you don't want, wrap it up, and heft it over here! ^.^

Alrighty! Location secured! The party will be held at my apartment and the apartment above mine (dual level, woot!) on Thursday January 1st from about 2 pm to ??? (pretty much whenever people decide to leave, I'm not picky). Please, if you're interested in coming, pm me so I can get a general count for supplies. I'll be providing pizza, cupcakes, chips, pocky, marble drinks, other sodas and teas, as well as anime gingerbread men. If you would like a specific character or anime for the ginger bread men, please send me a reference pic and I'll do my best! This party is welcome to any and all who are interested and it will be located in Westminster (at about Sheridan and 76th). I'm still hoping to set up a white elephant gift exchange, but I haven't gotten any feedback so let me know what you think! Also, I have a PS2 and a game cube and my upstairs neighbor who is loaning us his apartment has an xbox 360 so please feel free to bring any games you want to play. I have DDR SuperNova 2 and Naruto Ultimate ninja 3, but I have no idea what Vaughn has so... yeah. Anyways, talk to me people. Give me feedback!

I might try to make this because it sounds really fun, but I have a long standing tradition of sleeping through new years day.
