Special guests include Monkey Punch, the creator of Lupin the 3rd, and a handfull of voice actors. They also have a real DDR machiene in thier video room.

        I wish I could, I need to save money for Europe trip next year though. ^^;; I knew I should have gone to the anime convention when it was here last year but no..I didn't…

        Whoops, Got a little sidetracked. I should go though, but meh, I'll have to see.

        If I went and got a picture and I was in the background, you'd all go "Hey, Its Akira!" because I'd be wearing the hat ^ _ ^

        Signature removed because file size exeeded the limit.

        Thanks to Jeece for the sig.

              I'll be there. XD I'll probably be Nami and Lucci (don't think I'm gonna have Fullbody done in time), and I think I'm doing Jinx from Teen Titans and Harry MacDougall at various points too.

                Ah! So we have a Nami to join our little photoshoot! That makes 4! I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I'm cosplaying as Usopp and my lil bro will cosplay Luffy! We will also have a Captain Kuro with us for the 2nd half of Saturday! He's part of our skit for the Cosplay Competition.

                    I doubt I have enough time to get a cosplay ready…

                    Besides, this will be my first anime convention. So...

                      A very good choice for a first con! Metrocon 2003 was my very first con. You will love it! 🙂

                        They need more long-haired guys in One Piece, so I can cosplay as them. The only one I could do that comes to mind is Jango….

                          Oh god, if you go as Jango, I will be so happy. XD That would motivate me to get my Fullbody done in time for Metro.

                            I wouldn't be able to go for the small fact that I live at the other corner of the world, but please, gawd PLEASE post some pics up here. I'd love to see alla you guys up and about in your cosplay gear getting down with the con.

                            Oneday, I'll cosplay… Oneday. The closest I've ever come to cosplay was a shite Mitsukake (FY) with, naturally, long hair at a FY themed halloween-do. Basically, i'm a cosplay virgin... XD

                            I'd love to see a fullbody and Jango though, that'd make my day... So when's the big date?

                              Oh don't worry, you'll see plenty. At my last con I took a total of 51 pictures! But That's nothing compared to the collection you'll see taken by Maboroshi at RisingSun.net !!! For just Metrocon 2004 alone, he took a grand total of 4,600 photos! Can you say….devoution? 😄

                                I always wanted to cosplay Nuriko. ❤ Someday I will, man. My nickname was Nuriko all through middle school up until Eric caught on. I had these big parties for him on his birthday every year and got everyone in my classes to sign a Nuriko birthday card and got all my teachers to wear purple ribbons in his memory. Those were the days. o_o.;

                                      Indeed. Wigs aren't fun to find for men. That's why I wish Sanji had longer hair.. at least I can work out a Franky for next year with relatively long hair, but that's going to take a lot of work before I pull that off. I'm determined, though (and I've already got a Kiwi and Mozu). That's also why I'm doing Lucci in a CP9 group for earlier cons next year (i.e., Megacon), since he's a long haired one.

                                      Yeah, I saw the Monkey Punch news yesterday, bummer. Anyway, I'm going as Sanji (Davy Back and Water 7, and maybe the original if I feel like wearing it). Wig's kind of small for my head, but it works enough. The ball for Davy Back will help keep it on for one day at least, ha. Someday I'm going to get some really nice custom wig for Sanji. I've got a Water 7 Nami (first outfit) and Robin going with me, and depending on if my other friends can get done in time, we'll have a human Chopper and Afro Luffy. Ah, and I keep forgetting, a Wiper and/or Shanks. Don't know if he'll use the old Shanks costume since he's getting a mohawk for Wiper.

                                      EDIT (6/16): Found out that another friend's got a Miss Doublefinger outfit ready in time for Metro. So there's another in my crowd.
