All right. I will be updating this first post as plans materialize (if they materialize.) Normally this is something I would just extend the invitation to my circle of friends, but I figured it might be fun to open it up to any and all One Piece fans who want to come.
For the longest time, I've wanted to have a One Piece Cosplay Picnic in Central Park. I went to one last year for Fullmetal Alchemist, and it was extremely fun. Costume is optional (I didn't dress up at the FMA one and still had a blast) although it does make things more fun photo oportunity wise. Basically, we would all meet up, bring good food, take pictures, and have a grand old One Piecey time. Then I was talking to my boyfriend madgophermm5/Monty, and being that Pirates of the Caribbean is coming out this July, we thought it might be fun to combine the events, and go and see the movie after the picnic.
Note - If cosplaying outside of a convention is too much dorkiness than you can handle, no one is forcing you to come, or to read this thread. Please click the back button and spare us your remarks.
If anyone's interested, let me know.
