We are having an event at the Vancouver Hilton on October 30th! It will be in cooperation with Gamestorm and Orycon. It will be a completely free event!
Umm... other details to follow as soon as we ... make them up. But, being as it is Halloween weekend we will likely go with that theme and be expecting to see some awesome costumes!
-
*Watches Intently*
Oh, wait... I should probably be... helping plan this... shouldn't I?
*Shuffles off to go work on THE AWESOME EVENT!*
-
I <3 Orycon, so, yay!
Oh wait, I need to save $ for Orycon, so...well...I'll try. Thanks for the heads up.
-
OH I would be interested in going :3
-
*watching noises*
*more watching noises which sound like cookies being nibbled*
-
Collaborative between Kumori, Ory and Gamestorm? And Halloween themed? Can I mash up the names and call it GoryCon? Or GoriCon?
-
I like GoryCon, myself.
The timing of the date is epically awesome, because the Clark Manga & Anime Club is going to be trying to do something at the college the day before for Halloween.
-
But Vancouver's in WashyngCon, not OryCon ;P
-
*dies*
-
One of our Webcomic submissions this year was in the Edward Gorey fandom. It could be fun to have cosplays themed on Gorey & have a GoreyCon.
(GoryCon, sans e, is a brilliant title.)

YAY PUNS!!!
...so? Portland has assimilated Vancouver and the rest of lower Clark County as its own, despite a state boundary.

>D

Apparently. Somewhat disturbed washington is taking over our poor lil state's conventions.

YAY!!!

Tell Portland to get some better event space! Hopping back up to Vancouver with it's sales tax, registered agents and different laws is a complicated process. We would not be taking this on again lightly :)

You can say that again...
-
Yeah....
Promise you guys - and the board can back me up on this... I didn't look at VanHilt and go;
OOOHHH! SHINY! ME WANT!
*pounds fist in open hand*
I was analytical! I made CHARTS! And DIAGRAMS! And I weighed the pros and cons! We walked
the distance! And we talked about the difficulties! Trust us when we say, at current, Vancouver
has the best to offer Kumoricon to keep it going strong and fun! Of course, if you have questions
regarding the awesome event we plan to have in October, and want to help out with that, let us
know, we aren't sure of all the details yet but that will give you a great chance to experience the
Main Hotel well before con, if you haven't been there.

Ever hear "Alice's Restaurant", by Arlo Guthrie? I could totally see you with "pictures with arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one".
Ironically the problem I have is that I rent a hybrid for commuting, to reduce my carbon footprint, but it only has unlimited mileage if I stay within the state of Oregon. So I would have to park somewhere in Portland and either catch a ride or public transit (or walk the bridge?) or pay vastly more.
That said: Is there easy public transit to the new sites?
Also, this is a rumor going around: Is there going to be a shuttle between them? I told the person who mentioned such that I could not imagine KC taking on that kind of liability. He said one of the hotels might be providing it. ??? Maybe for GoH's or for people with physical disabilities?
-
Without the details- I'm already working on getting a ride :D
-
I feel like a hawk with this thread. Can't wait to see what happens.

You just earned cool points in my book for knowing that.
-
I shall have to keep an eye on this. :D

Woohoo! Cool points!
Well you have had them in mine ever since winning my first manga contest!

Yep!

America now stalks this thread >u>
-
^ Um,... okay. Is America coming to the event?
-
^ Um,... okay. Is America coming to the event?
POSSIBLY. There is a small possibility there would be a bunch of Hetalia there...I leaked this thread to the UN >u>
MY AWESOMENESS AND I WILL HAVE TO FIND A WAY THERE. Since it is in Vancouver the probability is 90%, and with my annoying pestering..I'm sure Obama (my mother) will let me go :D
SuperGenericVampire!America GO!
-
Okay, I'm gonna be honest with ya; I'm not a huge Hetalia fan, but you sound awesome! (Is this how America acts in the show? He wasn't in the episode that I saw, so I don't know). I hope you'll come by!
-
(America in the show is super full of himself and very energetic. XD >u> So yes~)
It won't be a party without me ;D
Just no scary movies...; n ; Unless Japan is there.
-
^ (Unfortunately, that sounds like America...)
Oh, I'll be making sure that there's a scary movie, or 5!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! (And I think I know which one to use,...)
-
OH GOD D:
Japan, save me from the grudge ; A ;
-
No, I was not thinking about Ju'on... although that is a pretty good one.
-
Still suppppper excited for this (though I still don't know what exactly it is)
-
More definite info will go up soon, but, what was announced at the Annual Meeting:
From 9 AM to 10 PM (Or maybe 10:30? But around then...)
Video Gaming, Custome Contests with Prizes, Anime Viewing, LARPing, Gamestorm's game library, Munchkin Bites Tournament, Photoshoot Area ...
This event is being put on jointly by Gamestorm and Kumoricon. Orycon will likely also have some involvement. The categories for the costume contests will go up very soon :)
-
^ hmmmm.... *is not a big gamer*
-
Well, we are hoping for a big turnout for the costume contests. I think we have like 7 catagories ...? I'll see how quick we can get that all confirmed. I know we are doing 3 'Con Chair Picks'. The Chairs of all three cons will pick the best costume relevant to that con's topic. (Gaming related for Gamestorm, Cosplay or Asian for us, Fantasy/Sci Fi for Ory ...)

Are any of these categories relating to crossdressing?

Is there's a crossplay category I might just have to go as Len.

I can get the word spread out at Clark; I know some people like the Slants there that (to my knowledge) aren't really into anime. they might come just for this.
RPG's & Board Games
Who can I talk to about getting a Slayers RPG game as part of the schedule?
-
Oh yay! I'll probably go...because it only requires walking a few blocks. ;D
-
I'll probably pop in for a bit as Pikachu > u <
-
I will come, but only to test my new camera : ).
-
I am really looking forward to this. I'm thinking that I'll be leaving around 10:30 or so for the CMAC meeting, then I'll be back around 2:30, I think.
-
I'll be there sometime around 3pm due to work.
-

-

That reminds me, I need to find a couple yellow feather boas to serve as hair for my Pikachu coasplay.
<------- Hoping to have it done by MEWcon.
Other than that, I can appear as SS Goku and maybe carry Naruto as a backup.
-
Would anyone be interested in posing for a mini-photoshoot at the mini-con? I have a bunch of other things to go to elsewhere that day, but I could probably drop by for a little while, say 3:30-4:30pm, to take some photos.
-
@IronMonkey: I'd be willing to do it, unless you want some new models this time XD I will be in a different cosplay~ If there are multiple peoples interested, than I'll prolly just get like two nice shots and then let others go X3
