This year at Kumoricon, I'm gonna be Len Kagamine and Dell Honne. Both cosplays "may" be done on the same day, but I'm not sure which one, it "might" be.

First, I'm gonna have to say something about that color thing. Since it's a freaking FORUM and not a "do it or you will die" situation, please feel free to type your cosplays name in whatever color you want. It's very rude to tell us to do what you want us to do. We don't HAVE to do anything if we don't feel like it. Plus people like me, the colors like yellow and other light colors make it impossible to see the name, as well as hurt my eyes a little. So telling us we have to do it is uncalled for.


Second would you like your name added then as both but put "maybe" after each one?


Oh and no, I'm not changing the color on the list. You will live.

Agreed. Colors are kind of annoying and the only real way to read them is to highlight the text. In addition to that, Kaito cosplayers cause eye damage because that shade of blue is almost impossible for most people to focus on due to the spectrum of light. Basically your brain keeps telling your eyes to try and focus on something they can't.

Oh the joys of learning stuff at college... and also finding out that the typical hypertext link is technically hurting us (though most people don't notice it consciously.)

If I go to k-con I'll probably come as regular Kaito again. Might bring ice cream again like I did two years ago. :P

For sure, one of my cosplays is going to be Luka's red kimono from Project Diva (still not sure what the name of the costume is). It's extremely comfortable, so I might even favor it over the normal Luka costume that I have.

I know I'm bringing a Gakupo cosplayer with me, but since Kumoricon 2013 is still a few months away, we haven't decided exactly what we're wearing. I just know that unless it's insanely hot, I will definitely be wearing Luka's red kimono for at least one day of the convention.

Hey, so I didn't see a thread for 2013..I posted on the 2012 thread, but that's obviously specific to that year. Anyway, I can do list style for this. Like where I can make a list of people and who they are cosplaying..I'll start with myself and add more as others' join in. I will also edit this post with any info you all want, as in location, time and day for starters, but also  dances you all want to do at con.
My cosplay will be Meikaito. For those that don't know, that's Meiko and Akaito (could also be done as Meiko and Keito, but I have an Akaito version coat, so..)
For reference since my cosplay could be a mass amount of outfit mixes, this is a basic idea of it. I am still not finished obviously but yea:
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3361754/ (http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3361754/)

List:
Meikaito - Sailor-Jeimi (me)
Len Kagamine - Otaku_24 (maybe)
Dell Honne - Otaku_24 (maybe)
Kaito - Gregatlus (maybe)
Luka - Pumpkinziggy
Luka - You-friend-Sushi
Luka - dagsmajags123
Gakupo - Pimpkinziggy's Friend
Gakupo - zenneth
Calne Ca - CyberIncision

Can you please change Dell and Len from "Maybe" to "For Sure"? I've decided to do them both, on day one.
Title: Re: Vocaloid 2013

Hey guys, last time I was in Portland/Vancouver area I stopped by Harbor Freight Tools and noticed they had bull horns for really cheap (somewhere around $5 if I remember correctly). This would be a great option if you wanted to paint one up for a love is war cosplay or anything else along those lines.

I may be able to help run the photoshoot. I did so at a smaller Vocaloid photoshoot last year and it was fine, though a bit overwhelming because it was my first time. xD

After thinking for a while, I decided I'm going to wear my normal Luka costume to the photoshoot, since because I need fewer layers, it's much cooler than the red kimono one, and easier to dance in it.

Also, should we start organizing a time? I know it's early, so it's okay if nobody knows yet. I don't have any particular schedule for my costumes right now, really (Aside from wearing Magnet Luka at the Anime x Vocaloid cosplay on the night of Day 0), but does anyone else have a preference?

I think I can manage that! I've also watched photoshoots at Sakura-Con 2013, so I'm confident that I know how they work.

Last year, Vocaloid cosplayers met up near the clock tower (on the corner away from the street, if anyone remembers where the kittens were at the Black Butler photoshoot last year) and then moved to the grass and one side of the gazebo (on the right if you're facing away from the clock tower and toward Subway) and that seemed to work well. I'm not as familiar with Kumoricon as I am with Sakura-Con, so I'm open to suggestions in terms of where we should meet up/have the photoshoot.

Are there any suggestions for areas we could meet other than by the clock tower? I was thinking that another option would be meeting on the steps of the gazebo; I did that for a photoshoot last year and it worked well because it was easy to see everyone who was there and who might be approaching to be part of it.

Also, I know some Vocaloid costumes like Kaito's (with the jacket) can get hot really quickly, so perhaps we should have the photoshoot a bit earlier in the day when it's slightly cooler, like 10 AM or something? Last year I remember we had a Kaito with his jacket on who wanted to dance even when it was hot out, and it got warm really quickly. xD

If I end up going to Kumoricon I will be Kaito still. I might be making a Sandplay Kaito this year too if I get the time.

The main issue for me is that the places I was hoping to stay at aren't available to me this year and I probably won't be able to afford a hotel room. :(

Sure! I think the karaoke contest is generally on day one, though, and I'm going to be entering that. So if it's on day one, it will definitely have to be earlier in the day, preferably before lunch time, if I'm going to run the photoshoot.

DAY ONE - A VOCALOID'S BIRTHDAY


Day One of Kumoricon (as you may know) is August 31st. This is also Miku (and Mikuo) Hatsune's birthday. So my question is, what should we do to celebrate their birthday? My proposal involves gathering as many Vocaloid Cosplayers as we can before meeting in the karaoke room after opening ceremonies and singing "Happy Birthday". What do you think of this idea?

Title: Re: Vocaloid 2013
Post by: Pumpkinziggy on July 21, 2013, 11:40:37 am
I was thinking that 9 or 10 AM would be a good time for a photoshoot (perhaps 10?), as Citael suggested. And perhaps that birthday thing would be a good idea. (I never pay attention to Miku, so I didn't notice. xD) My only concern about that is that the karaoke room is relatively small, so the photoshoot probably wouldn't all be able to meet in there. We'd either have to meet outside, then move inside and see how many people we could fit, or make the birthday song a separate thing. It would probably be impractical to meet inside, since there are people using the hotel hallways and it could block them (though there might be a large enough meeting area that I just missed last time). But I guess it all depends on how many people are attending the photoshoot: upwards of 20 people have posted as attending on this topic, and though I've never been to a photoshoot where everyone showed up, this still has the potential to be a pretty big group.

Suggestions are welcome. XD My only idea at this point is to make the birthday group a separate thing before the photoshoot with only a few people singing at karaoke (if they allow us) and then everyone meeting for the photoshoot in the park afterward.

Ten sounds good to me! Although a bit more input from others is definitely suggested, just so we can see that everybody is available. I think the birthday thing and the photo shoot should be separate...Definitely. A photo shoot is not suggested, mostly because the Vocaloid group tends to be large. If it is as large as it was last year...Yeah. Definite no xD A few people should only sing karaoke, as you've suggested, considering that too many people would clog up the karaoke room and too many people singing would get hella loud and may disturb others...Or maybe not :o I dunno how many people would be allowed to sing in karaoke....So yeah. I basically agree with youuu~
Title: Re: Vocaloid 2013
Post by: JaegerDarkness on July 21, 2013, 03:59:14 pm
The karaoke room has two microphones, so I think the most people we could have singing is two or three people per microphone.

I was thinking for the photoshoot itself, we could either meet behind the clock tower (which worked well for the Vocaloid photoshoot last year) or on the steps to the gazebo (which worked really well for another photoshoot I went to because you could see who was coming and who was there). I'm not as familiar with photoshoots at Kumoricon, though, so I'm open to suggestions for other places as well.

What about 11:00am? If the photo shoot happens in the afternoon, Vocaloid cosplayers (including myself) will likely having scheduling conflicts and overheating issues.

Overheating issues? O.o I don't think it's that bad. Maybe I'm just weird (okay, that's not really a maybe.) but As Kaito I usually wear a coat and a scarf without too much difficulty as long as I manage when and how I wear the cosplay.

That and the two years ago when I carried around a pale of ice cream. ^_^

I think it would be better to have the shoot later in the day since there are panels that some can't miss and with hopes of it being a little bit cooler if the day presents it's self to be warm, for those of us who have heavier costumes. Maybe sometime between 3-6?

What about 9:00am? I overheat VERY easily and when that happens I get REALLY bitchy.

No one wants to have it early. Rember this isnt all about you.
At 6 it starts to cool down.

Could we possibly do the photo shoot after 6:00pm? Pumpkinziggy (whose running the photo shoot) is going to be in the karaoke contest. Also, I REALLY want to see the karaoke contest.

6 sounds good!  Around 10-11 am is usually around the same time as the auditions for the karaoke contest, and I didn't want to miss anything by rushing back and forth between them.

Just as long as we have plenty of light for pictures and doesn't interfere with the slightly anime dating game, or isn't super early in the morning where I can't wake up in time I'll be happy. I do wish we knew the schedule by now though so we could plan this a little easier...

Good lord xD I really hope it cools down around six, then. I'm going to be wearing a huge, black dress....And that's mainly why I was also hoping for it to be a bit earlier ^^;  Hopefully it will cool down by that time, then.

^With it being later, those of us who are wearing warm cosplays could have had a chance to cool off or something. I'll being wearing a big black and purple dress with a heavy wig so I know where you are coming from XD

Hi everyone! Sorry, I've been really lurky as usual until now, ehehe. But I'm the Gakupo who's going with Pumpkinziggy! ^o^ I've secretly been reading this entire thread and keeping up with it even though I haven't said anything, because Ziggy looks like she's doing a good job of organizing it.

I asked her and she said 6:00 PM would be fine. It should be a good time for us because we will have free time in the evening, and apparently this time would be after the karaoke contest, which is ideal for us as well.

I'll let her know that she can submit it to the official photoshoot thread and we will be ready to go! Can't wait to see everybody there. C:

Post by: Pumpkinziggy on August 10, 2013, 01:27:45 pm
All right, it seems like we've agreed on 6 PM or around there, so I went ahead and signed us up for that. ^^ I'm not familiar with Kumoricon, but at Sakura-Con, the karaoke auditions were in the evening on the first and second days, so I was worried at first. But it sounds like the auditions are earlier at Kumoricon, so we should be good.

Which cosplay I wear will most likely depend on the temperature. If it's not extremely hot, I'll most likely attend in my Luka's-red-kimono costume, since it's comfortable and fun. Though I do have a normal Luka cosplay as a backup, which doesn't get hot as fast.

At Kumoricon, the karaoke auditions are in the morning/early afternoon on Day 1, then the contest is later that evening.

Having the photoshoot near the contest works great for me, since I'll only be wearing LiW Miku for the contest, if I make it in, that is.
Title: Re: Vocaloid 2013
Post by: Pumpkinziggy on August 11, 2013, 02:35:21 pm
Oh, is that how it works? Now I vaguely remember from last year. I was thinking of wearing my Ritsu cosplay for the auditions and the (possible) contest, though if the contest itself is in the early afternoon as you said, I will probably still have time to change depending on how long the contest lasts.

I  have already said this but I'll be sandplay gakupo and hopefully I get to  finish my boot covers  on time.

I have been resistant to heat when  it comes to cosplay but it's somewhat easy to  avoid heatstroke or  overheating  yourself.
 don't make unnecessary movements that  generates  body heat
sit  every now and then  on a shaded area
 drink water
 basically,  the basic stuff XD

The karaoke contest is in the evening on Saturday, to clarify, usually starting at 6 (though that could always vary). It lasts between an hour and 90 minutes, depending on number of entries.

The karaoke contest starts at 7 pm, so anyone going to watch our compete should be okay.

Hi guys! Just wanted to give a quick update. MadMoai and I are going to bring something small to the photo shoot to celebrate Miku's birthday. Not much to be excited about, but it was a fun little idea. ^^

Most likely I am going to wear the normal Luka costume, and Moai will wear normal Gakupo. We're excited to take pictures and maybe do some Vocaloid dances!

Yes. That's why I said we were going to bring it to the photo shoot. ^^ It's nothing big to get really excited about, just something little that we thought would be fun.

Agreed. Then again, the entire con seemed really strange compared to normal. At least to me anyways.

like the panels were mostly unsatisfactory looking to me, only one slightly anime dating game, the atmosphere and treatment of fellow con-goers being completely different than what I normally see, and seemingly a decrease of interesting cosplays I got to see (though I did see quite a few still, it was nothing compared to the past two years I've come). Oh, and also having time to actually play games in the game room. Oh, and I saw quite a few less bums this year, though I view that as a good thing. XD

Edit for elaboration on treatment: I think this was the first year where I felt like I was being treated like crap because my cosplay wasn't good enough or recognizable enough even giving weird or dirty looks for trying to hop in the photoshoot as if I were just some random person that shouldn't be there. Where in past years, even if you made even a little effort people would still give hugs. Kaito was the exception, but this happened with both of my other cosplays.

I am so sorry I didn't show up guys! My mask started to dig into my face and I wasn't gonna wear it. ;w;
Your mask was eating your face? Oh no! >.<

That's okay -- we wouldn't want you to wear a cosplay that was that uncomfortable. I'm rather new to Kumoricon, but I liked our turnout and I personally thought the whole convention was particularly fun. ^^ Thanks to everyone for putting up with me and my schedule changes and scatter-brained-ness, and for attending and helping to make it a great photo shoot.
