Curioius how long did your outfit take you to finish? (minus the gun)
Hmm, about a good week for the actual creation, but I did spend a month or so planning in my head how I would make that coat. :\
:D

No idea myself first time.
BTW anyone doing a Miss All Sunday outfit, I have probley the perfect coat in my extras from Croc costume making :)
The booth I'll be working as staff is the DFW Games video game room in Westin hotel, next to the Sheraton.
Both Friday and Saturday evenings from 4PM to midnight.
(hoping to see some Nico Robins walk in :ninja:)
what about a maggey byrde? :3
I printed off a pic of my ava to put in my badge so I can finds all you people I don't know.
Hi hi! This'll be my first A-kon and I'm thinking of bringing my Strong World Nico (suit) cosplay…without the gun.
Unfortunately I will not be able to make the Saturday shoot since I've already made lolita plans. :( I'll have to read through the thread to see if there are any other non Saturday gathering times.
Awww! Damn! I am going to be Strong World Luffy on Saturday. Unfortunately (Well it could be good or bad but meh) my friend wants to cosplay on Friday so I am doing a group cosplay with her. I guess I just look for you on Friday for a picture.
I am going by the name Mikey at the con. I am not sure if I do anything to make it easy for people to find me. haha

Normally the convention center across from the hotel is the best place to meet up, like at the entrance or by the escalators on the first level.
What do you guys think? I'll be there most likely all day on Friday in a little black dress =3

I will definitely be there! Unless you are required to have a badge, which I won't be able to afford one this year.
I have to be in the hotel lobby by 8 PM for my Croc shoot.
I may just skip the Hetalia gag shoot because they decided to keep the fanservice shoot at 6:30 instead of moving it to 10 and having the general shoot/gathering earlier =__= I'd vote for 6:30 then, over by the escalators on the 1st floor of the convention center, though we'll have to move somewhere else.
Or if that's too early, then maybe meet around 9? It'll also be dark by then if we wanted to move outside and be /slightly/ cooler. Slightly… Ok maybe not even slightly XD
So we having a One Piece meet up on Friday night at 8pm and another on Saturday? Sorry if I am misunderstanding something here.
Damn…I need to remember the layout of the hotel. I always stayed at the other one where the elevators don't have a 30 minute wait time. haha
Nooo my shoot at 8 is a private photoshoot, it's not a OP gathering. I was just stating that's when I'd have to go do that.
So I suggest either maybe 6:30 or 9 PM as possible gathering times.
The general OP shoot/gathering is Saturday @ 1:30 in the hotel lobby.
Friday night is just for fun :D
So then, around 6:30 we can just meet up and hang out? How about at the Plaza of the Americas?

Oh Okay! I see. I would say nine since that way I could get full use of Friday's cosplay and then change to Strong World Luffy for a bit. If not then I just go take pictures of Strong World Robin/HoneyBee.
So then, around 6:30 we can just meet up and hang out? How about at the Plaza of the Americas?
That would be fine too, food is good >:D
I'd say the 9 o'clock one would be better, it'll be cooler, and less going on. Sure, it'll be dark outside, but who cares?? XD I know I don't! Plus, that'd give me time to change into someone like Sanji so I could get obligatory horrible pictures with Robin/Nami. Not really, but a pic with Robin would just be badass.
Well just keep in mind that the Plaza closes as far as food places kinda early, so if you guys want to meet up there around 9pm to just hang and take pics, that'd be cool too!
I'm wondering… Will the plaza security count the Croc hooks as weapons .___.
I'm wondering… Will the plaza security count the Croc hooks as weapons .___.
Pfft. I class it as clothing/Armor…
There are some government offices in the plaza, and they're EXTREMELY ANAL about props in there. ANY sort of weapon prop is confiscated and held by the entrance. Also no photography, unless its facing outside the building.
I wanna see if I can take pictures in the marble hall ;_; I just want pictures in there of Croc and life is maaaade <33
Ah… yeah, I just realized meeting up there would not be such a good idea. So then, definitely somewhere between the front lobby of the hotel and the front of the building where the convention is.
I'm wondering… Will the plaza security count the Croc hooks as weapons .___.
I think it may count as a weapon. If you have a biggish bag then you can put it in there I guess but they may not like you.
How about in the sky walk? There is that intersection there that nobody except 'con hobos' hang out asking for hugs. So it should be safeish.
I think it also gets locked up about that time but I'm not sure. As long as we find a general place to just meet up at we can move to wherever we want.
Me and Kman were talking about it, and since the locale is crap and I just feel bad about the setting (and my costume at this time), we're cancelling the private phootshoot. So now anytime is fine with me XD
Also canceling Dofla's because it's way too friggen hot to go outside D: Atleast in the AFest hotel there are indoor places more suited to Croc and Dofla stuff. So now I'm just wearing them out for fun.
I'll still be in Croc Friday, I actually may wear him longer friday now.

To go to the Westin, it will be locked but there usually a person there to open the door but you are free to roam the skywalk all you want (which is the reason why there are 'con hobos' there. haha
Still yeah…I understand the whole costume heat thing. That is one thing I am worrying about when it comes to my Strong World Luffy since the coat I am using is made out of wool or something like that.

Yeah I admit I will be sticking close to the AC/indoor areas with croc. I'm just wondering what I'll do if they say my Croc hook is "to dangerous" or some silliness. honestly…some of these rules... yeah they have to worry about insurance and accidents, but they might as well call it Nerfcon with the fear they have... you can't have a hard plastic sword...but you can have a real sword peace tied? Umm right...know how easy it is to pop a ziptie?
I was thinking of posting in the weapon's check thread and asking about it.. I really don't want it zip tied.
Though since the hook is removable I could take it off >_>

So your gonna be 4kids Crocodile?
PFFFFFFFFFFT
Oh man one more week _
I posted on the A-Kon boards about the Croc hooks. I'll post the reply when I get one.
It wasnt an issue at all at Acen, but you never know at A-Kon >___> They've stopped people for ridiculous stuff.
Um… The cosplay press room has One Piece listed from 12:00 to 1 PM hosted by the one who posted the gathering on the A-Kon forums.
No idea if they are moving the shoot til then, or they are using it for their private group photoshoot and will still be at the 1:30 gathering. Hopefully we'll get an answer to that... Or just show up both times XD
Also, quick!!! If anyone was interested in having a small OP gathering in the press room at 6 PM Friday let me know, as there's a spot at this time.
This would be a good opportunity for me to be able to take some shiny pictures of you guys, though we will still get a lot on Saturday because I want shiny Admiral pictures yes yes _ It's a 30 minute only slot, so it's really only enough time for pictures then to get out.
We can still have our late night gathering as well, but there was this opening if anyone wanted to just have a photoshoot session.
Edit: Verdict on Croc hooks is they should be fine, but suggested putting 2 holes in the bottom of the base to run a check tag through if anyone questions it :/
So basically the OP meet will be an hour and a half earlier? That's fine with me, I'll be hanging around wherever. Do you guys have anything planned for Friday?
im not sure if its there private shoot at noon or thats where they intended to move the gathering to =/ I'd hate to show up and it had been a private thing, though they were inviting in the thread so it may have been their shoot time all along

I do not know anything about the OP shoot at the press room (which, supposedly, the PW photoshoot is also going to take place Friday at 2) the one for 1:30 at the hotel lobby still looks good, though….
Someone posted a photo of this, apparently....
! The Sheraton FINALLY changed that ugly-ass carpet….
Expect much lint build-up at this con….
As for Shelly progress….
!
I may still modify the monocle some (its a bitch to fit); and obviously the hair isn't right (that will not be done until the day of the con)
! I suddenly am wishing I did the bellboy version of Shelly….(and I need to clean my mirror....)

OMG yes finally no more uglyass carpet D:
You will be an awesome deKiller ;O
OH GOD..finally, after like.. the last 5 years I've been going to Akon they're FINALLY replacing that shitty ugly disgusting carpet. Even slab concrete would of been better, and this is soo soo much nicer looking __ I'm gonna laugh my ASS OFF if we get there and the carpet is infact..still the same.. xDD here's hoping it's not x3
I was SHOCKED to see a progress pic Geddoe, you look soo darned adorable <3

It wasnt an issue at all at Acen, but you never know at A-Kon >___> They've stopped people for ridiculous stuff.
I remember two years ago at Akon, I was carrying around meat that I made from a metal pipe cover in white spray painted newspaper (You can't tell though) and a red pillow that I made to be the meat and they told me to put it away. So yeah…They can be very questionable.
So basically the OP meet will be an hour and a half earlier? That's fine with me, I'll be hanging around wherever. Do you guys have anything planned for Friday?
On Friday I am going to be in a Haruhi group cosplay with friends. I tend to like to stay in cosplays all day to give them respect and just stay in the moment. Also I am just too lazy to change. haha
So the photoshoot is now at 1 pm on Saturday. Right?
WHOA wait a sec O_O so officially the photoshoot on Saturday has been moved from 1:30 to noon?? That's like a whole hour and a half before time DX!! i don't like that change at all O_O I liked the 1:30 time much much better x_x;
They still haven't answered me about the time change =/
My grandma has been deteriorating rapidly the past couple of weeks, she went to the doctor today and, while she isn't in the hospital yet, she may not make it for another 10 days.
I just can't be there, I couldn't enjoy one second of it, and there's no way I could force myself to go anyway.
Unless things stabilize, or are over before the convention (I doubt it), I most likely won't be going. I was really looking forward to meeting some of you and hanging out with some people I haven't seen in forever D:
AAWWW Arei ;_______; I'm so sorry to hear that… I feel awful for your grandma T_T
there will always be other Akons. We'll all be thinking of you and your grandma.
sorry to hear that Arei x_x; RL comes before cosplay, so take care ;_;

Hugs, wish you'd come just we can try and cheer you up.
Sad I lost my grandmother two days before going into boot camp. And her funeral was held while I was processing in…I know how it is.
Need anyone to talk, drop me a line.
That guy still never answered me XP
BUT, I am really not wanting to mess with a bunch of stuff but I will attempt (providing nothing serious is going on) to make it to the con Saturday.
I suggest those of us who can check out the pressroom at noon and the hotel lobby at 1:30. Everyone that isn't in that guy's group thinks its at 1:30, so it's still worth gathering again and getting even more shots :D

Sorry about your grandma. Hope all goes well.
Okay. Thanks for the heads up. I try to do both. Just got to find the pressroom. Maybe we should all meet up in a general area before hand and then go look for where it is.
I want to go on A-kon sooo mush! I thought that I would travel to US this year just for A-kon, but I havn't enough with cash D'': So me and my friends decided to go at the event next year…But How awesome is A-kon really? from scale 1-10? 8D anybody? Never been in Akon(or US >_>'')
If you can ignore the drama, it is actually quite a fun con. Its pretty much 24 hour, always something going on.
Its more fun when you're in a group, believe me. By yourself, you won't have any fun.
Might have the hang out with a group then heh…
You're going to come here all the way for A-Kon :D Wow.
But I suggest maybe staying a week or so and enjoying the area. Go to Six Flags, take in the sights, etc. A-Kon can be a really fun convention, but I don't think it's worth traveling halfway across the world just for A-Kon.
does anyone know when the venders will start to set up i want to see if they need any help i like more monies lol
