This is the official photo shoot thread where groups from any series can post a day/time/place to meet-up and take pictures! These are all fan-run, just talk to your group and decide on a time and then report back here! There will also be copies of this schedule at the info booth this year! So don't fret if you forget when your meet-up is!
example:
Name of Series- 11:00 a.m. in the lobby
NOTE: South Park Blocks and Fountain Plaza are the SAME THING. I'm changing all of the ones that said "south park blocks" to "Fountain Plaza" because it'll be easier for people using the Kumoricon Map!!!!
All photo shoots listed for a Lobby or 2nd floor Lobby CAN NOT be in the area for very long! Once you meet your group please re-locate to somewhere outside to keep those areas clear!!

I think the vocaloid shoot is going to be Saturday? Not sure the time or place yet.
-
I'll add it in just in case :)
-
Panda, where is Fountain Plaza? I was talking about the park blocks and the church that are like a block away from the back entrance to the hotel. Were you talking about Pioneer Courthouse at Pioneer Courthouse square?
Confusion D:
-
I was thinking of the park blocks where you guys had a D.Gray-man shoot last year on Monday (not sure if you went?)
there's a Church right across from it, so I thought that might be what you were referring to...right?
I've heard multiple names for that place..
-
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I've never heard it referred to as Fountain Plaza, since as far as I know there's no fountain D:
-
Dang it, where the heck have I heard it before?
the only "fountain' thing I could think of was that little statue thing, but that's about it.
I think I'm gonna change that now....park blocks makes more sense..
-
If you specify that it's the South Park Blocks, it's easier for out-of-towners to find on Google Maps. :3
-
oh okay.
I was wondering what they called it on there, I couldn't remember!
thanks!
-
FMA shoot on Friday, time TBA, place: Pioneer Square
Also another one on Sunday, time: morning (exact time TBA), place: Pioneer Square
-
Alright so, the Vocaloid shoot is having their photoshoot spot at Pioneer Square at 2.
-
alright! I'll add that in now (I'm sorry for the late reply, I didn't see it!)
-
Hrm.....lets see what doesn't conflict....maybe....saturday...at....mmmm.....darnit...
Can anyone familiar with portland suggest a place near the hotel that would be good for taking semi-decent-looking pictures of Yaoi schoolboys in grey pinstripe school uniforms? *brain breaks*
-
Well, you can take the Max or the town car to PSU campus. The Street Car goes straight onto campus, but I don't know where it's located near the Hilton. Can't be too far. Portland State is loaded with great shots for that sort of thing. really it's about a five minute walk from the hotel, too.
There's the old Church near the Portland art Museum, too. It's small, but in the background it could look very cool. Once again, that's a little ways from the Hilton, but it's really a short walk. You can walk across the beginning of Downtown to Chinatown in about fifteen minutes. Downtown portland is really pretty small. And if you can figure where the river's at, you can pretty much navigate anywhere.
President and noun labeled streets are vertical. Numerical streets are horizontal (exception with Broadway). The higher the altitude, the further from river you go. If nothing else, there are a lot of street signs located near the max stops. They usually have maps of some sort on them. Or ask the hotel if they have a walking map of Portland.
Walking maps are awesome and really easy to understand. Plus, they're free!

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya shoot's at noon on Saturday~

-
Please put down Pandora Hearts for Saturday. Meeting Place is TBD but the time is at 5pm. That's what we've got so far, but it could change. xD Will let you know if it does.
-
Could you add Touhou on Monday, 10:00 am at Pioneer square please?
-
The FMA shoot on Friday has been decided for 5.
-
Officially the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya shoot is Sunday at 2pm. Place is still TBA
-
Could you maybe put the shoots in chronological order? o 3o
It would be easier to make sure that times aren't too close together if someone has more than one shoot.
-

-
Go ahead and set Trinity Blood at 11AM on Sunday, please. It'll no doubt make everyone's lives easier.
-
I was wondering where would be a good place near the Hotel for a Alice Human Sacrifice phootshoot would be? I was thinking of the park block infront of the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Also the shoot is on friday.
Sadly this is a privite shoot for me and my group, but you are welcome to come and take pictures.
-
I would definitely vote for the Park Blocks, all of the trees will match the forest theme of Alice Human Sacrifice.
I'll post it anyways, in case anybody wants to stop by and take a few pictures. Have you decided on a time?
-
It will be after four, other than that I'm not sure...
-

-

-
Pioneer Place is the mall...
-

-
It's pretty much been decided that Bleach will be Saturday, but we have yet to decide a time.
EDIT: Bleach will be Saturday at 11AM in the Park Blocks.
-

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya shoot, Sunday 2pm, 2nd floor Lobby
-
forgot to mention that KH also has another photoshoot at 10am on the 2nd day :3 just fyi! >.<
-
Can you modify the D. Gray-man shoot to note that, pending weather, once we meet the group may move to the courtyard of the First Presbyterian Church on 12th and Morrison? And there is a 11:00 am meet-up in the lobby for a pre-photoshoot luncheon?
Thank you!
-
I'll add in the bit about an alternate location due to weather changes, but a "pre-photoshoot meet-up" doesn't exactly belong on the list of photo shoots, so I'm going to have to leave that out. I don't mean to be rude, I'm sorry if it sounds that way!
-
So... Do you have to sign up for a photoshoot, or can you just show up? I hope someone hasn't asked this already, and I just skimmed over it. I tried to be thorough. XD
-
haha well this isn't anything official, so people just decided on a photo shoot time and place amongst themselves in a thread for whatever series they're cosplaying, and then they come here and tell me so I can post it for everyone to see, in case other people are interested in going as well.
You don't have to sign up to be a part of anything, you just show up :)
-
Very Potter shoot needs to be moved to 9am, please. o 3o

Also, since nobody else has, I'd like to schedule a Super Smash Bros./General Nintendo photo shoot. Info as follows:

Thank you for this thread. It is helping me help one of my panelists, who's doing a Yuffie cosplay.
Does anyone know of a FFVII shoot?
Is the FF shoot that does not have a number following it, for folks from any of the editions?
Thank you.
PS: I would've gone to the Potter & Who ones, but can't, due to various con-related responsibilities during them. Have fun, all! & Post pix!
-
The ff shoot is all ff.
-
So... Do you have to sign up for a photoshoot, or can you just show up? I hope someone hasn't asked this already, and I just skimmed over it. I tried to be thorough. XD
Anyone can join in these photo shoots. This is a thread to announce when a particular anime/manga/game/ect theme shoot will take place so you can be there.
The more that join in the more fun the shoot will be so feel free to find one and participate!
Cheers,

Nikkiolie did that on her own last year, and I must admit, it was a great idea! I'm not sure how I would go about getting it up there, but I could make copies of the schedule as well as put one of them in a picture frame or something like they had.

*raises hand* I'll take that question, though I don't work for info booth...
Some conventions actually print the photo shoot schedule and include it in the program, but Kumori Con has been hesitant to do so. The reason why is because photo shoots are an attendee-run event, and the con doesn't want it to look like it is endorsing them as official events, to prevent headaches for staff.
However, that's not to say it could never happen. If you'd like the photo shoot schedule to be included in the con book, mention it at Rant and Rave, or post a suggestion in the feedback forum. There's no guarantee that anything will change, but at the very least, you'll most likely get a good answer explaining why things are the way they are. (Probably better than my brief explanation here)

At Sakuracon we've found that posting the photoshoot schedule on a whiteboard at info booth works pretty good.
I don't know when Kumori's booklets go to print but if it's anything like SC, all the cosplay groups would have to have their schedule down about 1-2 months before con, so about July and I notice groups are still moving their times/locations around.
With the whiteboard at info booth, we can check the web forum at con and update it live.
-
I'm not sure if it has been added but it looks like Left 4 Dead shoot will be Saturday at noon meeting in the lobby.

oh that's okay! I'm not really worried about it being in the program or anything, I know it's too late for that and some of the dates/times aren't even finalized yet. And yes, since this is completely attendee-run I can see why it's best to keep it separated from staff.
I just wanted to be sure it would be alright to have some print-outs of the schedule at the info booth, as well as maybe one in a frame for people to see if they are just walking by and don't want a copy.
-
please move the ffx/x-2 shoot back to 10.

At Sakuracon we've found that posting the photoshoot schedule on a whiteboard at info booth works pretty good.
I don't know when Kumori's booklets go to print but if it's anything like SC, all the cosplay groups would have to have their schedule down about 1-2 months before con, so about July and I notice groups are still moving their times/locations around.
With the whiteboard at info booth, we can check the web forum at con and update it live.
I'm really not sure what the lowdown is about the whiteboard idea, but it does sound like a great idea and I hope Kumori Con is doing it. Photo shoot schedules have been printed in the past (if not at Kumori Con then at Sakura). The upside is that more people see it if it's in print.... the downside is that it's nigh impossible to make changes/corrections. Hence the whiteboard idea.
And yeah, now that the con schedule is up on the main site, I'm sure it's long since gone to print. I was just talking about next year. :)

I can't give a green light for that, personally, because I'm just a grunt. I suggest you email somebody involved with Info Booth or Programming or somesuch. Can you check the contact info on the main site and choose someone to email? If you need help figuring out who to email then I'd be happy to help you decide. Remember that the higher-ups are busier so you don't necessarily want to contact a full-fledged director. You might want to Cc them, though. That's just my first instinct.

I work in SC Publicity and yeah the idea of printing the cosplay photo shoots was tossed around but it was impossible to do because of all the last minute changes, thus the whiteboard idea.
It's large, easy to read and can be changed instantly by having a live link to the web (which we do at SC)
We post alot of notices and schedule changes on these boards throughout the day at info booth and it works really well.

Hey guys....
So... I just wanted to Head's up ya'll...
You may need to re-think some of the locations for PhotoShoots....
I recently checked (Jaki thought it might be smart) the events going on at the
courthouse square... and as it happens the whole weekend is booked with events
on the square.
We will be trying to book Director Park for the use of attendees and normals for photos of
cos-players and to hang out and enjoy the outside.... but I figured I'd better warn
you before it got to close and people didn't see the changes you may have to make.
Also remember that Pioneer Courthouse Square doesn't allow tripods, while Director
Park will totally allow'em once we have secured the rental rights to it (not quite
done with the paper work just yet)
-
Last year Nikki contacted me about putting them in the pocket guide. But, since they are not official events, they don't really belong in it (plus, they are usually changing up until con, and we need to print the schedule much earlier than that.) That is why we compromised - Nikki had the schedule finalized by a certain date, and I had the schedule available at Info Desk.
I have not been contacted about it this year... if the organizer wants to talk about a similar setup, email programming@kumoricon.org and we can chat ;)
It is very doubtful that photoshoots will ever be part of the pocket schedule.. the con does not control them, they are unofficial meetups (and no offense, but I have enough of a headache just dealing with panels :D). Having the schedule available at photobooth is the best we can offer.
And Ally was correct... you are going to need to take another look at some of your meetup places. Pioneer Square is not going to be a viable option, what with the events going on there. And guys, we don't mean to sound mean or anything, but photoshoots in the Main Lobby of the hotel and on Plaza level will not be allowed. The hotel is requiring that the lobby be kept as clear as possible, and there is just too much going on up on the Plaza level. And, before you ask.. the Ballroom lobby will be off limits as well. Your best bet is going to be Director's Park, which is why we are looking at securing rights to the place.
-
would people still be able to meet outside of the square/around that area so we could decide on where to move to?
-

Do you mean Pioneer Square? It's a public place, so the only thing stopping you would be how crowded the area is, or if they have any areas cordoned off (after all, they are renting the place.)
-
alrighty, thanks ^^
-
I think two big reasons photo shoot times change up until the last minute are:
1. If there's no print deadline, the people organizing them CAN change the day/time at the last minute, so they do. If they had a deadline, they'd be less fickle. And...
2. Since Programming doesn't consider photo shoot times when scheduling its other events, photo shoot organizers end up wanting to work their photo shoot around the official schedule once they find out what's going on.
Yeah, there's not much that can be done about either of these problems. I just wanted to point it out for the record.
The whiteboard's the most important thing in my opinion. As long as there's a fail-safe option for obtaining accurate information, I'm happy.
Jamiche:
Okay, I will try to figure out a better location than Pioneer Square for ours. I don't think I've been there, but everybody had touted it as THE place to go for photo shoots. Guess it isn't, at least not this year.
Nyahaha:
You could also meet somewhere near the hotel and walk to somewhere else. Sounds like people might get lost in the shuffle if they have to find Pioneer Square and then migrate to yet another location.
-
Please put the FMA shoot at 2 pm. Thanks
-
since pioneer square will be closed off during the weekend of con can you change the KH to MEET at pioneer and will move to a different location! thanks!
-
quesion: is the list of all the photoshoots gonna be available at the info table like last year????
Nikkiolie did that on her own last year, and I must admit, it was a great idea! I'm not sure how I would go about getting it up there, but I could make copies of the schedule as well as put one of them in a picture frame or something like they had.
since i'm part of the registration staff, i could have some of those flyers at the registration table. i'll ask bryan and the rest of the reg. staff if that's okay :3

Yup what she said. Something that you might be able to do is print out a list and give it to the info booth day 1 or day 0 shanime_panda
-
That's what I'm planning for. I'll set a deadline soon so that no last minute changes can be made, and will bring print-outs as well as a framed/standing list of the schedule for info booth in the early morning of Day 1 (and by early I mean around 8 )
I'll add the bit about Pioneer Square to the front page. Hopefully people will change their minds.
-
Sounds good to me :D
-
move hellsing to meet at 2nd floor by the stairs. same time pretty please :)

Quick question :D I noticed Hetalia has two photoshoots, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, is it alright for Soul Eater to have two photoshoots maybe? :3
-
You don't have to ask permission. Just schedule them.

Yu-Gi-Oh at 4 p.m. On Sunday, at the fountain Plaza
-
I have a few location questions, where is Fountain Plaza, and where are the South Park Blocks? I remember having a photoshoot in a park-area last year, but I never knew the actual name of it.
-
I'm pretty sure they are the same place. It just depends on what map you're using because I know the map here on the website says Fountain Plaza but others say South Park Blocks.
I've been saying South Park Blocks because it makes more sense to me, but I'll put parentheses next to each one saying "aka Fountain Plaza"
-
I have a few location questions, where is Fountain Plaza, and where are the South Park Blocks? I remember having a photoshoot in a park-area last year, but I never knew the actual name of it.
Here is the city's information on the South Park blocks: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?PropertyID=674&action=ViewPark (http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?PropertyID=674&action=ViewPark)
It has maps, the history, and generally more than you ever wanted to know. The park blocks run along between 9th and Park Street (replaces 10th), which is 3 or 4 blocks west of the hotel. There is a fountain, as well as a bunch of other cool stuff depending on how far down you are.
Also here's a link to the Park Finder: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/ (http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/)
For anyone still looking for locations. Or directions to the parks around the area. For the general area we'll be in, I would click the 'Downtown' and 'Southwest' icons, then run a general search, or just search the park's name if you have it!
Hope this helps everyone out!

No, I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough. I linked to what I believe are the South Park Blocks.
I'm 90% sure I found the place, though. I was checking so I could propose the South Park Blocks as an alternate location for the Zelda and Smash Bros. photo shoots.
-
Because of the Lego event, we're altering the D. Gray-man plan slightly, again. Sorry.
D.Gray-man - Saturday. Meet at the Starbucks in Pioneer square at 1:00, then move to the First Presbyterian Church on 12th and Morrison at 1:15 for the photoshoot.
Thanks!

Radien- you are correct, the ones you linked were the South Park Blocks.

is there any way the tales of photoshoot can stay there because its the only place I know how to get to.... I am not familiar with the location

THank you for putting the location at pioneer square I will inform everyone it will be there

Metal Gear Solid photo shoot! On Saturday. In the lobby at the bottom of the stairs, at 430. :3

The "One Piece '10" thread seems a little dead, but I suppose we can always revise the meet time, right?
As of now, can I please request:
One Piece- Sunday at 8:00 am, meet in the lobby, we might move elsewhere later.
Thanks!

Pandora Hearts has finally picked out the place.
Pandora Hearts - Lobby by Restaurant - 5pm

Vocaloid has changed the location to Directors Park the time is still the same.

So, quick question: when you say Lobby/2nd floor Lobby, are you planning on meeting there, or is that where your photoshoot is? Because there really isn't the space for it, especially on the Main Lobby... we have to keep that area clear.

Well, I meant just meeting there. I don't expect the One Piece group will be very large, so it shouldn't cause much of an issue. We'll probably relocate elsewhere.
Should I change it?

Definitely change it, at least to the 2nd floor above the lobby. And just meet there with no intent to stay; definitely plan on going somewhere else. The 2nd floor this year will be busier than last year, so it's going to be a constant uphill battle for staff to keep it clear. We don't want to give the Hilton hotel staff a reason to step in again; they tend not to be as gentle about it.
The One Piece group may be expected to be small, but it will be a more positive experience for *you* if you avoid meeting in the lower lobby, because you won't have people asking you every two minutes not to stand around.
Jamiche, I'm hoping that's what you or Operations staff would say. I realize you're pretty busy this week and probably don't want to deal with too much of this right now.
-
Its what I would say, at the very least.
And so eloquently put!

Why thank you! I'm glad I was on the mark. I witnessed two photo shoots last year and went to Rant and Rave, so I heard what the problems were at the Hilton last time.
(I fear it's going to burst at the seams this year...)
P.S. -
Another cosplayer suggested outside the ballroom entrance in the basement for a place to have a photo shoot, citing that it's much less busy down there and it has open corners where people can be without blocking traffic. It worked pretty well for last year's Smash Bros. photo shoot, but I don't know how much foot traffic there'll be this time. Would you consider that a viable location this year?

My Only concern is some of the Registration lines and the Dealers Hall lines go down that way. Loitering anywhere in the hotel area is a problem and is not generally allowed... but if you are quick and not blocking
any sort of traffic, what we don't know and don't see wont kill us, but be prepared to move if a Hotel or K-staffer feels its a hazard...
Director Park is really only a block and a half away and has a covered space... since we will have the whole thing to ourselves on Saturday and Sunday... I will continue to insist that you consider it as a viable option! ^__^ plus it is a really great backdrop!

What, reg and dealer's hall?... Neither of those were anywhere near the ballroom basement last year. Reg was two floors up and dealer's hall was all the way around the corner, on the other side of the building, in the downstairs parking lot. It's a complicated layout, but I'm not sure how either line would extend down there.
Oh well. I'm working on moving to the south park blocks. If no one else answers I'll make an executive decision by tomorrow. They'll still know where to meet before we tromp off to the location.

I think I misread your post... Sorry. I was confused. Disregard.
-
I think I misread your post... Sorry. I was confused. Disregard.
That's all right. Don't worry; we'll stay away from the major traffic areas. But this is Oregon, and it'd be nice to have a desperation option if it's raining outside.
My costume, for one, practically dissolves in water...

Hey! For Saturday, Day 1, could you please write...
"Persona/SMT - 6:00pm meet in 2nd floor lobby, will move to other locations for photoshoot and dinner + King's Game"

Ahhh, can you add closed shoot but photographers welcome to SP too :>

So I read the Pioneer Square webpage, and really the only day that events aren't going on during Kumoricon is Labor Day (Day 3). Hope that helps anyone who wants to have a free square for a photoshoot on day 3 lol

HIYA! I'm here on Teddy_Bearxx's behalf from the Pokemon thread...
Since it's mention that location is needed by today the 30th, Teddy_Bearxx can't get online tonight but she will be able to get on sometime tomorrow. We wanted to let you know that we WILL/HAVE changed our Photoshoot location since PS will be busy with other "public events". But I actually don't have the full details, so if you could give us a day or so before you make it finalized, Teddy will be on to let you know the full details, Thank you!

Hello again, I'm posting on behalf of the Zelda and Super Smash Bros. photo shoots. I'd like to change our location. I'll just copy/paste and edit the current description so it'll be easy to update. Here is the updated info:
(Sunday)
Legend of Zelda- South Park Blocks, 12:00 p.m. (meet on 2nd floor above lobby first)
Super Smash Bros./General Nintendo- South Park Blocks, 1:00 p.m. (look for the Zelda group at location)

Tsubasa shoot time on Friday needs to change...
Please put down 'Between 4 pm & 530 pm or after 930 pm'
*busy staffer is too busy* Sorry!
-
Please make a note that the DURARARA!! shoot will specifically be meeting near Starbucks.
-
mellonemrys- I'm sure you're busy, but that's a little vague..could you please be more specific?
-
If its too vague then take it off all together. I have things I have to do for set up for the con on Friday that ended up being at different times than I expected. IE I am busy from 8am - 330pm, then from 545pm - 9pm. But I don't know for certain if I'll have the time in between things on Friday, and thus have to wait (and force the rest of my group to wait) till after all my duties are finished.
-
Panda, you've ah... You've put the Macross Frontier shoot on Sunday. It's Saturday.
-
LOL sorry. will fix now~

Is the Executive Tower still open for shoots? because if so the Kuroshitsuji wants to meet in the Tower Lobby if we can.
-
Is the Executive Tower still open for shoots? because if so the Kuroshitsuji wants to meet in the Tower Lobby if we can.
I think the Hotel would like to keep all lobby's clear, the main building and the Executive Towers. Maybe panda can add that in, but the deadline to add photoshoots was at 11:59P.M. last night :/ But it's her decision
-

Then that's all on you guys. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if you met in the main building and then just asked the people there if they wanted to move to the tower if it's too crowded, you don't have to officially change it. I'm afraid I'm trying not to change the schedule any more unless it's a typo, or double entry, or otherwise something that I made a mistake on.
-
Hey guys,
The hotel has asked us to keep the lobby areas clear.. and that includes the Executive Tower lobby. Please plan your shoot somewhere else.
-
Most of the people that are listed for Lobbys are listed with intent to move somewhere else, they are just MEETING in the lobby. Is that okay? I could make a note of it at the top of the page..
-
Meeting is okay, as long as it not too long. Just making it clear that photoshoots are not, since there was planning for a shoot at the Executive Tower.
Thank you for tracking all of this.. you're doing a great job :)
-
Thank-you! ANd I just made a note of it on the main page, which will also be on the flyers that I bring..
Hopefully people will understand the need to re-locate after seeing how crowded it was last year!

Woo! Final Fantasy photo shoot! *so glad to see it*
I'll be sure to be there if I don't get lost! :D

A Very Potter Musical is going to have their photoshoot sometime after the Cosplay Contest... (Not asking for it to be changed. Just posting it here so people know.)
-
So, I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place to air this, but I need to say it none the less. The Haruhi Suzumiya photoshoot was scheduled, in this thread and at the info booth, for 2pm in the Second Floor Lobby. When I got there, after some time, only 6 people and no photographers had arrived. One of the attendants then mentions to me that whoever had been in charge of it had changed it, either late the previous night or early that morning, to 11am. I see no posts on this forum (not just this topic, but this forum) about the change. I saw no updates at the info booth. I find this incredibly rude, as did the other cosplayers there.
Obviously I know nothing can be done about this now, but it was extremely thoughtless of them to apparently only update their friends, rather than remembering that it was an open photoshoot

Who got the places the photo shoots were taken at closed off for us? That was pretty rad.

the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya photoshoot was ORIGINALLY 11am but someone posted it to be 2pm when i told them that 11am would have been easier and i guess they changed it to 2pm. things WERE HECTIC THIS YEAR i AM STAFF and i HAD NO WAY to go down there and vouch for them at all! you can blam it on me if you like but please please REMEMBER that we were all confused at con this year because of all the hectic things going about with the understaffing of staff, pioneer square, and other personal problems!
next year i promise things will be more organized~! sorry and thank you for your patience!

The Haruhi shoot turned into a disaster. We changed it to 11am but weren't sure if it got changed. When I showed up at 11am to see if anyone was there only a couple people showed. One of them confirmed it had been sucessfully changed to 11 so we just headed out and did a little shoot on our own with our own cameras and such. At 2pm my friends and I heard everyone showed up for the shoot saying the information desk said it was then and not earlier. We sadly couldn't make it at that time.
All and all, it was just a bunch of confusion and mass communication error. We're going to plan better for next year. Compared to the last couple years though...this year went pretty well. I am sorry though this happened.

Don't mean to butt in, but remember: it doesn't matter how "official" something is if people don't know about it. If you change something at the last minute, there are going to be lots of people who don't check because they've been planning on the original time & day for quite awhile. As you can see by people sigs, lots of cosplayers plan far in advance for which day they'll wear each of their costumes.

There was no official Ouran photoshoot this year, but some other Ouran-ers and I shouted over the balcony for an unofficial spur of the moment one. Thanks for everyone who attended that!! :D
