Title: PSU Anime Club Costume Ball (UPDATE: 2009-10-23)
Post by: Wil on March 20, 2009, 09:35:42 am: The PSU Anime Club is hosting a Costume Ball on ~~April 10th~~ ~~October 23, 2009~~ in about four hours(!). It will be held in the Smith Memorial Student Union's 3rd Floor Ballroom. The event is completely free and open to the public.

Cookies, fresh veggie snacks and hot/cold beverages will be provided.

The prizes for the costume contest will be as follows:

First Prize(1): $100 Powell's Gift Certificate http://www.powells.com/ (http://www.powells.com/)

Eep.

I thought Sakura-con was the following weekend.

Ummm... yeah. Stay tuned for possible updates.

Post by: ~boogiepop~ on March 22, 2009, 03:12:17 pm: I would come too but like everyone has said before, Sakuracon.

If the date changes I'll totally come though since I live only five or so blocks away from PSU.

Edit: Rescheduled the event to October.

We had a bunch of reservations and such, but we hadn't actually spent any money yet, so rescheduling turned out to be pretty easy. Also, now we get to be in the big ballroom in the student union instead of the cafeteria. :)

Post by: Radien on April 03, 2009, 09:52:35 pm: Hmmm, October 23rd basically makes it a pre-Halloween party... well, no complaints. It just means more excuses for cosplay, or at least a better one.

Post by: Wil on September 11, 2009, 01:16:18 am: Yikes! I guess I wasn't getting notifications of replies to this thread. I did get the notification of the PM, though.

To answer the questions I spotted while skimming the replies, and in no particular order:

1) There is no age limit.
2) All costumes are welcome, not just anime cosplay outfits.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to everyone. Glad to hear that folks are planning to come. :)

Yeah, TUNAC (the Truly Unnamed Anime Club) died like two years after Kumori Con started. Most of the founders of TUNAC graduated from the U of O and shifted their focus to running Kumori Con. Interestingly, though, our con chair Beau was one of the last people to keep attending it -- he acts casual but he's pretty dedicated.

Someone tried to revive the club about two years ago. I participated, but it didn't last.

Anyway, about the PSU costume ball... I hope to come. I'll put it on my calendar. :)

Post by: Firemousey on September 18, 2009, 02:07:32 am: I was wondering...what kind of costume(s) are acceptable for this ball? Is this like the masquerade ball or is this just like a dance but with cosplay?

I hadn't even thought of that. I just assumed that since it's right before Halloween, it'd be a normal costume ball where all you have to do is come in costume.
Title: Re: PSU Anime Club Costume Ball
Post by: Firemousey on September 18, 2009, 08:30:49 pm: Every time I hear "Costume Ball," I think of something extravagant like a Masquerade - but just a bit more costume based. Idk why, but I like those kinds of things..xD

If you're the guy I remember, as in the one in your avatar, shouldn't your bloodstained outfit be good enough? =D
Title: Re: PSU Anime Club Costume Ball
Post by: Mr Silmero on September 19, 2009, 01:19:09 am: You know it is a dress shirt, belt and slacks along with Leather shoes so MAYBE

Rather not have the MAX police stop me though..."Sir why are you completely stained in blood?"

And maybe I got a pic of you? Who knows.

You probably didn't. I was one of the people who didn't dress up for the con so I was probably an uninteresting subject matter anyways. (small Asian girl with glasses if it helps)

LOL @ the MAX Police thing though! xD

Title: Re: PSU Anime Club Costume Ball
Post by: Firemousey on September 20, 2009, 12:58:03 am: I hope it's semi-formal. I like wearing pretty things, plus I have a dress that CAN be both for a formal occasion AND for cosplay.

I'm definitely going Masquerade Style!

Do we know if there will be swing/ballroom dancing, or more of rave-style?
Title: Re: PSU Anime Club Costume Ball
Post by: Agent47 on September 27, 2009, 06:34:15 pm: I may go to this.. since I probably won't have anything better going on.

And it'll give me a reason to get the 2 last pieces I need for my dress-suit Kakashi Hatake cosplay.

What kind of dance? It's my experience that learning different dance styles helps all my dancing. :)

The DJ will have music appropriate to Swing (East Coast/West Coast/Lindy, which actually covers a lot of music, including modern stuff) and whatever we provide to him. I may provide a modern Tango song for myself. If you have any specific requests, please PM me.

I guess I was thinking in terms of long pants and button-up shirts for the gentlement and the equivalent for the ladies.

I have a CD of various anime/game music that can be played randomly in any order. I'll PM the playlist.

The contest isn't anime exclusive I'm guessing. Game characters count also? (Cloud, Mario, Sora, and therefore disney characters, etc.)

I'ma coming as someone Super. With something meant to protect me from the rain...not a parasol.

I have a CD of various anime/game music that can be played randomly in any order. I'll PM the playlist.

AS far as i understand, its a costume contest for any kind of costume, not just anime or video game characters.

Post by: Wil on October 23, 2009, 02:13:00 pm: First prize was finally approved (and acquired) yesterday. Should have posted it. I'll update the main post right after this.

Any costume is ok for the contest. I'm going to be a Vault 13 Vault Dweller. :)

Have fun for us! :'D

Reporting live from the event, the East Coast Swing lesson is one-third complete and the DJed music is set to start just before 8.

If you're reading this and plan to come, there's no better time to head up here. :)

Post by: Firemousey on October 24, 2009, 12:02:25 am: So you're Vault Dweller 13! I loved your costume and am a bit envious. I couldn't dress up in a costume so I dressed in a dress that I always wanted to wear out.

The Ball was fun! Are you guys going to plan another one?

btw - I was in the light purple-gray dress. Came in with Altair. =)

Thank you for the gift certificate, I really appreciated winning it! 83

Post by: Radien on October 24, 2009, 02:36:19 am: Hey there, I was the male Link that showed up. :) I had a blast; it was worth the trip from Eugene/Springfield. I didn't know people quite as well as other events, but everybody was well worth talking to. Thanks so much for the gift certificate, Wil. It's the first time I've won anything with that costume, partially because I have yet to enter the cosplay contest at a con.

My only regret is that I missed the Zelda Temple Trance Remix that I requested. :( Took awhile to get my dang costume on. But on the plus side we had a nice little mini-party in the bathroom, it seems... :-X

TSJason:

Hey, that was you? I didn't know. We weren't formally introduced. Sorry you weren't there for long.

I recognized your costume from the con, so I knew you'd score somewhere in the top three spots. Was there cake at said party?
And yeah, I was first attempt Mario. A foothold to MEWcon when I'll be bringing, maybe wearing, a ? block full of useful handout items.

Well, thanks for your confidence. :) By "top three spots" do you mean top three costumes or top three prizes? Heh, there were a lot of prizes.

There was no cake in the bathroom party, but there was one person bypassing the gender rules. Hey, I needed someone to help with my wig.

Hmmm, a ? block. I'd hit that.

Were you happy that I was wearing the sword on the left shoulder, or that I really am left-handed? :) I'm glad Link is left-handed, since I am. Interestingly, he's always been that way, even on the NES. (Wii version doesn't count >:()

Were you the one wearing the Winry costume?

Oh, okay. Sadly, I have seen a hairy guy in a Winry costume before. :( But I will happily acknowledge that this was not the case here.

Hey, you asked me to do it. :P I'm not sure why, now that I come to think of it...

I believe you weren't the only one to comment on the left-handed thing, hence the confusion. :) That was nice; almost nobody notices these subtleties at cons because they're so frenzied and hectic...
