So who all is going and if cosplaying what are you cosplaying?
As of late, my plans have changed slightly. I still plan on cosplaying from Code Geass, but I am undecided on who. I need something I can buy with just Christmas money alone. I will let everyone know later after I have browsed through all the CG people in order to figure out who I am best suited to cosplay. Oh and as far as I know, I will only be able to attend for Saturday. Again everything I have posted is tentative. I would love to go for the whole weekend. T.T

I'll definitely be at Ohayocon.. as for what days I'm not sure yet. Most likely I'll be there Friday night and Saturday all day and night. As far as what I'm cosplaying, I'm shooting for Kittan (Space-outfit). If not Kittan, I'm definitely going to be cosplaying Zack from FF7:Crisis core.
For everyone who is all going, please say so! I'd love to see you guys at the convention =] Perhaps we can grab lunch or dinner... or whichever.. depending on what times you all will be attending the con!

Well, I know there is going to be a Code Geass food thing to discuss "peace treaties" and such. ^.^ I think that's going to be on Sunday though...

I wonder if Pizza Hut will be there. I'm thinking of just not doing this honor band thing and instead going to Ohayocon. Now quick question, since this'll be my first time. How much money would you suggest i bring? I definitely want to buy some big big posters of many animes!

lol ummm money situation depends on what you're looking for.. If you're going for on day (Saturday lets say since thats the busiest / biggest day) it's probably going to cost about.. i think 25 to 35 bucks for a badge? Thats a rough estimate, check Ohayocon's website for the "at the door" prices. Unless you want to register early for one and get maybe 5 bucks off. Umm.. the Dealer's room you need a badge to get into... thats where they have all the anime merchandise that you can dream of. Posters / wallscrolls can range up to 10-25 dollars depending on what you're looking for. Figures can range from $5.00 - $200+ Most figures though are around 20~40 dollars the decent sized ones anyways. The smaller ones are usually around $7.00. Umm.. theres a lot more crap to buy.. I'd suggest.. if you're going to really shop.. maybe about $150~$300 would be good. But thats over doing it sometimes... even I don't spend that much hahaha! I usually just buy a poster/wallscroll or a figure or two.
Oh yeah, food costs go into the whole $150~300 dollars too... but since you're not going to be staying in a hotel room i'd prolly say Bring $150 dollars. That should be enough. They have ATM machines and you can also use Debit cards and what not in the dealer's room. You don't need to carry "cash" at all times.

Ooh, but be wary. Some dealers will try to rip you off. If you see something you want, but it's a tad on the pricy side, look elsewhere in the dealer's room. Sometimes you can find the same thing for a cheaper price. Smaller cons you usually can't, but bigger ones it's almost guaranteed.
I was actually thinking, that if enough people from the group we're wanting to go, and people could save up enough money, then you guys can get a room together and the split the costs for the whole weekend.
I would jump in on that, but if we can afford it we already have a group of people to room with that's more like family since I have my little baby girl going. Ohayocon will be her second con. Colossal this year was her first. As far as I can tell, she will also be cosplaying for the first time as well. ^.^

Yes, Amara is right. Some dealers will try to rip you off... look around first as she said. There was a clare (claymore) figure that I saw and wanted badly.. but the price was way to expensive.. My friend found the same figure across the room for about $30 bucks cheaper.. it was great. Look around at least once before buying anything =]

Oh LIEK ZOMG! It has been decided that I will be cosplaying Euphemia Li Britannia for Ohayocon on Saturday at least. Probably the whole weekend though since it's going to cost a fortune.

Nice. Hey do you have a website (IE. cosplaylab or cosplay.com) where you have all of your cosplays listed so that they may be viewed?

I do, but I NEVER use it.. lmao... I have posted a few of my outfits on cosplay.com You can just search for me on cosplay.com as "Rhyan" lol. You'll find some of my outfits, they're not the greatest since I suck at making outfits. I mainly get people to help me.. while I help with the smaller stuff haha. I haven't posted all of my outfits on there though.. I have had a ton of outfits in the past 3 to 4 years.

Thanks, I'm totally going to need it! I lost a couple years ago to an awesome Gankutsuou cosplayer. The details and accuracy were astonishing!

RAWRZ SUPER EPIC BUMP ATTACK GO!!!!
I bumped because I can and because I want to see who knows that they will be at Ohayocon for the whole weekend? If my Mom is willing to watch my daughter for that weekend, we can cram everyone into the room that hubby-kun and I planned on getting. Or get 2 rooms and split everyone that way. Since I just remembered that Travis and our friend Alex will be with us.
Oh yeah, 50th post n00bs. XD
