I'll write someone a story to cover for my entry fare? XD I'd love to go to this. I just don't happen to have the money to get in. I can get the money for the bus easy. It's money to get in that's a problem. Lulz XDDamn... that must suck.
So wait, the meetup spot is at the Gresham terminal? What about people like myself that are closer to the zoo then that going through the max?Same here, I was going to ask that but I completely forgot. In sorry~
Are we going to meetup at the zoo max stop at all or even at the gate?
I'm at the Goose Hollow Max stop so I think the logical thing for me to do would be to meet you guys at the zoo stop/zoo.
Mom gave me the great Idea to go to the zoo and have a cosplay picnic there.
New plan of action: Wuntvor gave me the briliant idea of the gardens. If we can't get into the zoo, then we will just take a short trip to the Gardens, the Rose garden is free, but if memory serves me right the Japanese Gardens cost money.

DO NOT go into the bird exibit. My friend got bird-pooped on last time we were there, and that would be even worse if it got onto costumes or wigs.

Hi thar.
And instead of tag, wouldn't HIDE AND SEEK be more fun? Give hints to the animal you are at via text message, then BAM. 8D
I know, right? 8D I have unlimited. We could get in groups with people who can text, or we can pass on things like 'Dana is at where you must keep an eye out for poop falling from the sky'. (AKA the bird...thing cage.)(EVEN THOUGH SHE WOULDN'T BE THERE XD) and we could give them a hint for others, even if we weren't there ourselves.And instead of tag, wouldn't HIDE AND SEEK be more fun?

OMG THAT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN! I hope we'll have enough people, I really want to play now lol.

I'm sorry Sakko-chan, I understand if you hate me.
It's fine Dana, it would still be cool if you came ^^ That's fine anime, you don't need to be in costume, I have my VK costume if you want to borrow it... I also have a red cloak and some other wierd things laying around the apartment some where.

It is going to be fun. I just hope that this trip doesn't drain my Shelke funds. As it is I have no money for means of getting in... Sad day for me. And I don't think I can scrounge up enough cans and bottles for the 10 bucks to get in Agh!

AHHH! So sorry we had to abandon the group during lunch.
See's, Kira hasnt been to the zoo in YEARS and she really wanted to see the animals and stuff and it wasnt fun for her to be waiting around or zooming past all the cool animals....so....yeah.
I wasnt dressed up. I decided against it. All my cosplays insulate heat for some reason. See Texans are for TAKING the heat, not SOAKING it up! lolAHHH! So sorry we had to abandon the group during lunch.

It was cool talking to some of you guys over Megan's phone even though I could never really tell who I was talking to :D
Oh gawsh, I had so much fun yesterday! X3 I loved getting to hang out with everyone, even though we ended up in three seperate groups. ='D
My legs still hurt a little from climbing everywhere. I need to stop being so out of shape. XD
You don't remember too many details? hahaaa
same here I only really remember the rose garden
thing X}
Is there anyone still checking this thread who was a part of Siren's group and went to see the penguins around 1:00 PM? A handful of us went ahead to the rose gardens, but we didn't see you guys later in the afternoon, what happened?
Hey, this is Joey, the one dressed as Akito/Agito, from yesterday. After you guys broke off, we went to find Aaron and Angelica, instead of going to the penguins. After that, we just kind of left the zoo. Then Ang, Emmalie, and myself, all had to leave, as well as Larxia. You'll have to talk to Ducky about what happened to the others.
Oh, okay thanks a lot! I'm suspecting some people went to IrukaSensei's campout afterwards?
oohh wow. they didn't even tell us D:<
well it's okay >//<
and the other people group
didn't meet up with us either
No we didn't. XDoohh wow. they didn't even tell us D:<

@Saaaam~ It's spelt Britany, and I don't really care how many y's you put on the end, it's all good. : D I hardly exercise, ever. DX It's the curse of being home-schooled, I guess. It was fun doing that jumping shot, though! ='D Rest your legs for a couple days and you'll feel better~ X3
If you do it again things should be a bit more organized. When we were actually at the zoo a few people, myself included, felt really rushed since we kept being told to keep moving when we were looking at the animals. Plus when people wanted to split off we couldn't since we knew we'd probably never meet up again. That's just my opinion though.It happened to us. Moving too fast and since my friend doesnt really have too much money to be doing this, we split off so she could enjoy the otters and stuff.
Yeah I saw a lady take off with her kids because they kept asking about it and saying stuff to them about it.....that I dont want to repeat.
The thing I didn't like was the loud and obnoxious singing at some points (I think I heard a song referencing homosexuals and a song about President Obama. While I wasn't offended by the content of those songs, we were in a public place with normal people around and we could've easily been kicked out for that.)
Yeah, the singing was really impolite and somewhat disgraceful to cosplayers in general. If we want people to accept us in public as normal people while we're wearing cosplay then we need to act like it. Sure we can be crazy and play games and stuff, but that doesn't mean we can go around singing our lungs off about whatever the heck we feel like. I was really nervous sometimes that security was going to give us the boot.
I didn't go but here's my $.02~
During public cosplay meetups if cosplayers consistently behave obnoxiously then people'll grow weary of cosplayers as a whole, even if it's only a select few that are misbehaving. It's not just, "normal" people that get irked by impoliteness, it's bothersome to everyone. As a cosplayer, I don't want to be stereotyped as loud and obtrusive, though that's a stigma that's already taking hold for cosplayers.
Really, all I want to say is please be respectful to others so that there won't be negativity associated with cosplay. And think of all the good karma you get from being nice 8~D
That is a problem with going to places like the zoo. Cosplayers need to be somewhere they can run around and be loud, like a park. Not in an enclosed space like a zoo or a mall. That is asking for trouble.
Same here a VERY specific person.I didn't go but here's my $.02~

I completely second this, thank you Sahara. I can actually remember a very specific person that was making me weary ALL THE TIME while we were there. I didn't want to be around said person since I didn't want to be stereotyped as an obnoxious cosplayer, though I probably was since I was in the vicinity of said person. Next time...guys really. Next time we should have stricter guidelines about how to act in public...because this was just not okay.
Haha, no problem you guys~
Has anyone talked to the specific person? Maybe they don't realize all the fuss they've caused and need to be told directly of it~
So we should just be careful, give ourselves a good image no matter where we venture to!
I don't know. Maybe the zoo is just not a good idea.

I thought the zoo was fun in cosplay~ I would have no qualms about going there again, especially if it's with my friends.
That is a problem with going to places like the zoo. Cosplayers need to be somewhere they can run around and be loud, like a park. Not in an enclosed space like a zoo or a mall. That is asking for trouble.
I agree, and disagree with that statement. While I was at the zoo, even though about half of the group was being loud and obnoxious, I generally had a pleasant time. It was fun waving to little children, and we even met some people who asked us which anime we were from. So I disagree that the zoo is a bad place for cosplayers to visit.
Also, as an older cosplayer, I don't feel the need to run around and be loud. Mature cosplayers can spend time out in society without too much trouble, because we don't make people hate us when we go out.
The part I agree with is mall-hopping in cosplay. Shopping centers are MUCH more enclosed than the zoo or other public parks, and I've had bad experiences in almost every mall I went to in cosplay.
well the thing is that most people who go to these meet-ups are between the ages of 12 and 17 and sadly a lot of them can be loud and immature at times. I can easily see security following the group around in places like the zoo.

I totally understand what you're saying, but I have to make my point that cosplayers shouldn't write off the zoo as a place they can't visit and have fun. Cosplayers, regardless of age, who respect others and present themselves as friendly and courteous should have no problems there.
I agree with you sam :D
It doesn't really depend on there age. Like Lavi
was 13 and she acted WAY more mature then other cosplays.
Cosplayers should just respect and present themselves the way they
want to be treated.

But the fact is there is a lot of cosplayers who DON'T respect others and behave. I would love to go to the zoo in cosplay but I would only go with people I KNOW are mature enough and wont get us kicked out. Same with the mall. The mall is fine as long as you aren't with a group of people who act like idiots.

Like I said in my last post, "Cosplayers, regardless of age, who respect others and present themselves as friendly and courteous should have no problems there." I know there are a lot of people who don't behave, but I'm ONLY talking about respectful cosplayers like us. This might come off as kind of mean, but you should understand from my perspective, most of the time I don't consider disrespectful cosplayers REAL cosplayers. I just think of them as kids who forgot Halloween is October 31st =/

XD yeah neither do I. I wasn't trying to argue at all, and I didn't know that you were only talking about the respectful cosplayers. I was just trying to remind you that there are a lot of people who aren't respectful. Sadly I have got to a lot of meet-ups where the majority of people there weren't respectful and I am cautious of going to big meet-ups because of that.
The only problem I had(with anyone in particular) was getting yelled at for someones attention when we were all in the tunnel.
Yeah I know where were going and what were doing, I dont need to be told twice.
Its fine, I dont expect anyone to know my name here. I only mentioned it like once or twice. Mentally is fine.The only problem I had(with anyone in particular) was getting yelled at for someones attention when we were all in the tunnel.

I know how that felt. So many times people kept yelling "SHRIMP KEEP UP!" since I was in my Ed Elric cosplay, and I was just lingering back. I was getting so sick of it to the point where I just stopped responding to any summon remark whatsoever. I know it may be hard for some people to understand, but we all can hear. Once is enough, right Mentally? ;;Sorry, I don't know your name so I had to use that.;;
Its fine, I dont expect anyone to know my name here. I only mentioned it like once or twice. Mentally is fine.
And I remember you.
Yeah, once is enough but never is better.
If someone needs my attention they only need to say "Excuse me" or something. If I get yelled at, I just tune 'em out.

I'm sorry, I can get kind of pushy when someone doesn't see something my way. I apologize :(
This was my first cosplay meet ever, and I have to say I was kind of expecting this. I'm glad I was able to get some of my friends to come or else I would've had a pretty bad time. I wish it didn't have to be like that. When I first joined this forum, I signed up for the zoo meet because I wanted to make new cosplay friends (I had zero at the time). After going to the meet, I realize if I hadn't met my friends from elsewhere and told them to come, I wouldn't have made new cosplay friends like had originally wanted. Unfortunately, everyone else stuck to their own cliques and there was no real cosplay bonding.
@ Sahara
That'd definitely be a good idea! But you'd have to have cosplay friends first (which I'm glad to finally have some! *thankful*)
I know right? They yelled at me like a car was coming (in the tunnel).Its fine, I dont expect anyone to know my name here. I only mentioned it like once or twice. Mentally is fine.

Okay.~ Good to know. Wow, you remember me? I must've seen you then too. I just can't remember anyone except for either the people I talked to all the time, or the ones that annoyed me. I agree with you about that too. Yelling leads to problems, no matter what.
I know right? They yelled at me like a car was coming (in the tunnel).
Well I wasnt cosplaying (my cosplays insulate heat and I dont need too much of that on a sunny day). I just wore a Gaara t-shirt, hat and had a red and had blue back pack on. I just sort of stood back and admired all the cool costumes.
Ohhh!!! I remember you then.~ I was getting a bit irked in the tunnel. I thought the yelling was bad, especially when they started yelling inappropriate words. Specifically "penis". I mean understand that's not really a BAD word but when you're in a public place...ehhh that was really uncomfortable for me.
And wow, if you had an insulating cosplay I don't blame you at all. That would've sucked for a day as hot as it was on Saturday!
Yeah I heard some odd things being said around people who were just passing through with their kids. I was worried someone like a mom or dad would like stop and give us attitude for it.I know right? They yelled at me like a car was coming (in the tunnel).

-cough cough same here cough-Oh nonono the song wasn't about president obama it was about rufus from FF7 it's the drunken turks anthem srry if anyone was offended
It was very rude to sing about our president
and I'm pretty sure we would have gotten kicked
out if it was louder and if that security guard
was there watching them sing...
so many people..so loud.
and some of us didn't want to connect with other
cosplayers. D:
That's my plan. To see who at this event is well behaved and go from there when I start planning again. =o= I see what you go through with such a large group Nikki, I take back anything I may have said about my being able to control such a large group. the zoo seriously felt like a school field trip with a bunch of first graders.Awww make us feel special.
I generaly hate cosplaying mainstream anime, but this year I'm being draged into a Naruto cosplay.OH SNAP.
that's the choker chain, NOT a leash.Hey not everyone was under the 'HYPER ACTIVE HYPER DRIVE' influence. And i saw you singing and dancing.
Yes! you totally should bring the collar!
yeah, I do, whatcha need sewn hun?I was wondering if you'd help me sew a skirt if you know how?
