Title: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: asaxchan on July 26, 2008, 09:17:34 pm
SALUTATIONS, FELLOW CONGOERS!

[: I had an awesome time today at the picnic, and here's just a general open invite for something occuring in the future. On August 13 (8/13-- you got it right, Kingdom Hearts fandom, it's Axel/Roxas day!), myself and some friends, namely Sarah (mirithespazz) and Missy, the Axel to my Roxas, are going to be having a massive show-off-our-cosplays-and-or-finish-them-up-photoshoot-thing!

That is to say, on August 13th we're having a nerd herd meetup. Anyone interested? Send me a message or contact me on aim - 'aixkiraixjisatsu' is the sn. Further details (such as location) will be ironed out depending on who'd be interested in coming.

-Emily~

EDIT THE SECOND: Okay, with only a few days left until 8/13 and not that many RSVP's, it's come time to make decisions about the locations. The workshop is going to be at my house - email me for the address (aijisatsu@gmail.com) - and the photoshoot is going to be downtown in the Park Blocks. Photoshoot-ers and workshoppers are going to meet up at SW Park and Market, near PSU, and we're going to migrate from there as weather and photo desires allow.

I'd love to come xD Really, I want to take some more professional-ISH cosplay photos, but it's awkward to ask people aside xD A photoshoot would be a great solution.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to go though. Tons of crap going for me in August.

I hope you can come, it would be wicked awesome. My collective group of friends has some excellent photographers among us, so you'd be able to get professional-ish quality shots... *crosses fingers* Also, if you cosplay Hisoka to KCon I might have to marry you. Just for the record.

For the Axel cosplayers, My wife and I have made up several sets of his Fire rings (Chakrams) to sell. Man I need to take some pictures of them and update my website.

I shoulda done these replies as one, but my Axel may or may not be interested in purchasing those, considering scroll saws suck and we don't have much time before con. I'll ask her and get back to you, is that okay?

Yeah, I still have a lot to do on Roxas, too. It's a combination photoshoot/work-on-costumes day, so if you want to work on it with us, that would be cool. I bet that my Axel is going to be putting finishing touches on, too.

Hehheh. I know it's gonna be Axel/Roxas day, but maybe there'll be a Demyx there. XD (Of course I'd love to see a little of my birthday pairing, 6/13.)

As far as I know there aren't any Demyx's coming, but WHO KNOWS? Maybe one will appear!

Wait, really? Zexion/Roxas? That's a new one for me, and I thought I had exhausted all of the KH 'ships.

With as many characters in Kingdom Hearts as there are, I think it's nearly impossible to exhaust the supply of pairings.

*cries a little inside* I'm sorry but the only numbers to me are the G-boys and company. T_T (3x4 day much, much better *nods*)

I think if you were talking GW fandom you'd be shipping Noin/Treize eek @_@ that hurts...

Just a question I guess, do any of you know when the O13 number system started showing up online? I'm just curious as a fan I guess.

I'm a little confused about what you mean by 'when it started showing up online.' If I took the question literally, then I'd have to say probably at about the same time that the game was released, because the Org members in-game are referred to by number before you know their identities...

Ah, okay. I'm not much of a KH fan anymore, and haven't had a chance to really play 2.

The Gundam Wing fandom refers to characters by a number system as well and when we started seeing KH stuff referring to characters by numbers we had WTF moment. Its just kinda funny I guess.

Seems like a lot of fandoms do... I've never seen Gundam Wing (only Gundam SEED), but apparently Katekyo Hitman Reborn! does it too? Or one of those K fandoms. Kyou Kara Maou, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!-- they all get mixed up for me. xDD

Kingdom Hearts 2 = vastly superior to KH1, by the way.

The only place that I know it from is GW from when I first got into the fandom, way back in '01 which was during the change over from letters to numbers.

Anyways! My friends and I have kinda made a not-tradition of this day XD last year we made AkuRoku Paopu Cakes aka cupcakes we decorated with an akuroku theme XD and we were all excited for this year! but alas, due to complications my friend will be in mississppi for it DX

I would love to come to this but sadly I live in Eugene and wouldnt be able to make the commute to anywhere due to work >< So have fun guys! and to the 6/13 shipper, YES! I am not alone.

Oh, right, I cosplay Roxas XP

Don't worry Hashi, we'll see you at Kumoricon at least!

But uh.. should it be somewhere in Portland? It should be somewhere in the middle for everyone. Portland isn't middle for me, but not many people live where I do, so I usually end up with the short end of the stick. ~ ~
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: Auricle on August 06, 2008, 02:14:48 pm
Yeah, Portland sounds good.

Hopefully somewhere you can get to on the Max train.

I live in Hillsboro, otherwise known as The Hell Mouth.

Where do you live, Sayda?

I live in Dundee, which is three towns away from Tigard. So, pretty out there.
But Portland isn't hard to get to, it just takes a little while. I drive, so getting there wouldn't be a problem.

If nearly everyone lives south of Portland, then why not have it at Cook Park in Tigard? Wednesday is perfect for me to come! I only work on weekends. If this is a (camera) shoot and build party, this will be great to work on my Future Trunks...though I have no skit or tournament to work towards anymore.T_T

I guess that's alright, it shouldn't matter. Cooks Park is definitely closer than Portland for me.
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: Auricle on August 06, 2008, 03:04:32 pm
It would take more than two hours to get there. :x

Although, meeting in a smaller city type setting might be preferable.

Also, if this is a cosplay workshop, we would need a place for that, and being in a park would be bad for that. So, either we meet somewhere else, or we meet at the (a?) park and then move somewhere else for the workshop.

Also, what time should we meet up?
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?

1? I don't mind where it's at, I'm use to driving to Portland for meetups.
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: Auricle on August 06, 2008, 03:44:07 pm
Oh, sorry, I guess I need to clarify my meaning.

'The' refers to Cook Park. 'a?' refers to if we wanted to meet at a different park.

Um...Sorry. :(

Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: asaxchan on August 06, 2008, 07:56:51 pm
HI EVERYBODY OMIGOD I TTLY SUCK ABOUT REPLYING TO THESE THINGS. I haven't been getting notifications for threads I'm watching asdjklfhaksldf. ;__; orz.

Okay. I live in SW Portland, about ten minutes south of the city. Most of the people who I know for certain are coming live in the general Portland vicinity as well... But I realise that not everyone will, so. What I was thinking is this: Cosplay workshop should happen first, in the morning, and that can be (probably) at my house (depending on how many people intend to come). The photoshoot should happen second, in the afternoon, because afternoon light is vastly superior to morning light in terms of photography, at least generally speaking, and that should be the part that moves around because more people will want to attend the photoshoot than the workshop, imo.

So, because I'm slightly OCD.

ATTN. EVERYONE WHO INTENDS ON ATTENDING THE PHOTOSHOOT: Send me an email with your address and/or general location (whichever is preferable) and I'll map it out and find a place that will work well for everyone. Thank you!

XD It's alright, it doesn't have to be KH-related. It's on 8/13, that is August 13, hence the "Axel/Roxas day" thing... Not sure about time yet, but it's likely that the workshop will be in the morning and the photoshoot will be in the afternoon.

Actually, Trunks really has nothing to do with any of the top anime or game series. He's the last of a dying breed (everyone else was destroyed by the androids :( ) trying to fit in.

And since I don't know enough of Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, or FF7 AC (yet), or own Kingdom Hearts II to even play it (or the working PS2 for any games at all), I can only call on the old school goodness. Part of the reason why I don't watch/play is because I'm wanting to make my own anime and manga so bad but lack the people or resources to do it. I'd only be watching what I hope to someday dominate or at least match. Hope it didn't seem like I went super saiyan just now.

Oh-- Axel and I decided we're not going to do the wedding. Since there's not actually a yaoi wedding event, a lot of people probably wouldn't understand, and without a schedule of events we can't plan out when we're going to do it. So, no wedding. But thanks anyway [:

Errr, no? We haven't decided a location for the photoshoot yet. I don't even know where Cook Park is, and if we have it too far away from the city proper that's going to make it really difficult for a lot of people who live in the city or around it, especially those who are going to the workshop as well (because it's at my house, and my house =/= Tigard).

Ah. good, thank you. ^_^;

My mother is like 'If it's in Tigard, then no.'

Right now it's looking kind of like either the Park Blocks, or a park near my house (which is in SW, only about ten minutes south of the city).

:3 I don't know anything about Portland geography-wise.

The only thing that would make sense to me as far as directions go is either an adress I can yahoomap or what max stop it's by.

Sorry, I know I'm being a pain. >_<;

XD If you get off at the Pioneer Square MAX stop and just walk up two blocks, and then walk down Park towards Burnside, you'd get there.

A what cloak?? What does it do and what manga/anime line is it from?

Also, you said you can sew basic stuff? If I brought my toy shield, could you try to sew the cover together?

Lmao! An Orgy cloak is just short for Organization cloak, as in Organization XIII from Kingdom Hearts. It's not as exciting as it sounds.

Right now it's either in the Park Blocks or at a park near my house in SW. Also, the workshop is in the morning, if you're intending on coming to that too.

Er, no. The Park Blocks go from Park and Jackson all the way down to... Around Park and Taylor, I think.

Well, I'm giving it until tomorrow to get more RSVP's from people, because right now I only have three (from people I don't know IRL). But if I don't get more by tomorrow, then I'm making a decision on my own.

Ok. x.x Have we decided a final time and place for this? lol. I need to know so I can find out if I can come. On the 13th, right?

Ug. I don't think I'll be able to make chakrams before the con. This suuuuuuucks! x.x
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: asaxchan on August 09, 2008, 02:15:50 pm
Yeah, see the original post for details.

Also, if you need chakram made, I'm going on a weapons-making spree before the con (because I have hella free time). So I'd be willing to make your chakram for you, if you're okay with laquered foam and spray paint. (They'll look good, I promise!)

Really? o.o Would you? T.T How much? *cling* D: You're my hero. How many would you make? One or two? >.>

And I'm still confused as to where it will be. T.T I don't know downtown that well. And we're meeting at once place and walking to another? D: What time should we be where? Aaaaarg! *bites arm off*

Hey, VampireFangs103! : D

We should practice the Hare Hare Yukai, 'cause we'll have all of group five together.

(Sorry for being so off-topic, but it would be a good opportunity for this.)

Well, you do know what I'm talking about, right? >_<;
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: asaxchan on August 09, 2008, 07:47:45 pm
Sure thing, and I'd make you two. Also, you can use www.trimet.org to find a map to Park and Market. [:
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: VampireFangs103 on August 09, 2008, 08:25:07 pm
Lol. Yes, practicing the dance would be veeeery fun. :D

Anyways, how much would you want for the chakrams? Hmm? >.> Shoot. I just realized I'd have to bus down there. x.x I don't know if I could do that. T.T I probably live to far to get a ride from someone....
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: asaxchan on August 09, 2008, 08:37:27 pm
Umm... I don't really know, I'd have to get back to you after I buy the materials. It'd basically just be the cost of foam and a little extra for fixative/texture/paint...

Sweet. *cling* That would be wooooonderful. :D If I can't make it to the meet-up, perhaps you could bring them to the con on the first day? I could  meet up with you as soon as I get there. o.o

Here's the link to information on the South Park Blocks. http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=674&subareasall=&subareas=6%2C1%2C3%2C2%2C4%2C5

There is a link to a map of the area on the page linked here. The intersection of Park and Market is on the map.

I hope this is helpful, it certainly cleared up my confusion.

For those taking the Max train, just get off at the Library/SW 9th Ave MAX Station and walk .4 miles south.

Sorry I can't help more than this, I don't have very good directional skills. @_@

Post by: Sayda on August 11, 2008, 04:14:23 pm
I don't know Portland very well, but is it over by PSU at all? I know Market street eventually leads up to the College.
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?
Post by: Auricle on August 11, 2008, 04:23:18 pm
Actually, the intersection of Park and Maket is extremely close to PSU.

If you go to Yahoo! maps and enter Portland State University into the location search field, Park Ave. is the street immediately before the one you turn on to go to PSU.

It looks like when you're driving/walking down Market St. towards PSU, there will be a park area on your right, and that will be where we are meeting.

At 2:00, because we need to finalize these plans. Sorry if I seem...Harsh or something. ): @_@;
Title: Re: Axel/Roxas day cosplay meetup/photoshoot?

So our fearless leader who can sew stuff isn't coming? And yeah, basically for me I get off the 12 bus at the PSU stop then walk up College st. to the park blocks.

Who's all attending this? Because if there's only three of us, then Idk if I want to go. I have a lot of things to work on, and I could really use Wednesday.

Post by: Auricle on August 12, 2008, 07:43:36 pm
Well, I've reviewed the thread and it looks like there are...13 people who will probably come. XD

Although, now that the plans are final, I can't really speak for anyone's attendance.

I'm bringing a party of three. :3

By the way, Sayda, your post count is 813. X3

Hmm. Actually, I think I'll cosplay Vexen tomorrow, 'cause I just got my wig. X3
