Kumoricon 2010 COUNTDOWN!!!!!

[nikkiolie]

I'm shocked there isn't one already. I have an idea for this countdown, post your favorite picture from 2009.

We are currently 35 days away from day 1 (including today since it is 8 am )



I like how the top right row is looking off at something else XD

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

^ love the picture.

[nikkiolie]

What does people have left to do before con? I need to style a wig, order a pair of contacts, maybe install a new zipper. I think that is all cosplay wise  

[emasik]

Huzzah! Since I wasn't there, I have no favorite pictures. As far as the to-do list: I must apply buttons, finish a pair of leggings, finish some intricate embroidery details, alter a shirt to wear underneath, color correct the ribbon for the choker, fix this friggin hairpiece.. and I'm debating painting the shoes.  Not to mention the other affairs such as coloring/styling my own hair, and figuring out the transportation situation. But I'm not worried. There is still a whole month between then and now.

[Saberchan]

I need to buy a wig...Hopefully my cosplay still fits... Instead of losing weight, as was my plan this summer, I gained it...

[nyahaha]

oh joy, no time xD I need to buy another wig and do some styling to do, I have basically three cosplays to make, one to was and iron, another to fix, a cloak to make for a commision, one and a fourth crochet commissions, and a few other things that are getting in the way. I can do it!!! 8D

[thesirensings]

I need to sell off all my stuff and make money so I can eat. If I have extra money, I'll throw together a quick Tonberry cosplay. I'll probably get called a n00b for not having a head or tail, but I don't really care. :'D

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

I need to  fix cubone and get all of young Walter done

[Ticra]

god. I have so much left to do it's not even funny.

I'm part of a cosplay group of *counts on fingers* 7 people? and each one has at least 2 costumes (most have 3). We all make our costumes together and I'm one of two people who can sew within the group.

So much to do!!!

I have - three wigs to do
- three coats to cover in braid and embellish (one needs the sleeves fitted
-somthing like, eight pairs of bootcovers/gaiters to make
- a vest to make
-a coat to make sew together and cover in question marks
- a pair of pants to sew together
- some knee flairs to add to a pair of boot covers
- a shako
- seven moogle palls to finish feathering and to attach to head bands
- a latex prostetic to finish painting
- a coat to hem and spike
- a shirt to alter the sleevs on and to extend in the back
- a cat suit to finish painting (legs are still bare)
- a rather ornate cane to make altogether
- 3 bags
- a thousand and one belts to assemble
- a rib corset to finish
and a bunch of other projects that I will not list, for everyone elses sanity.

needless tosay. I have a bit of a job to do.
but actually, most things are almost done, they just need a lot of embellishment. I'd be working right now if I hadn't been bitten by a spider last night and my hand hadn't swollen up to the size of a catchers mitt. Right now I'm just waiting it out.

[Trumby]

Oh god, don't remind me. I have a lot of crap to do still. Find everything for Matthew Patel, get my rifle for Johnny done, help some friends with some props, potentially get Greedlin done...ffffff so much to do. Good thing I don't work a weekend until the end of August!

[superjaz]

ug, so much sewing to do! tho what does it matter I ALWAYS WAIT TO THE LAST WEEK TO SEW Like crazey!!!


1 super secret project for me roah!!
2 sew diamonds for chris urahara
3 coat for bro
4 redo yukata coller,
5 if I have time, ghost busters for bro
6 touch up older costumes to fix wear n tear, really should be step 5...

[LtCommanderRichie]

I'm finishing up most if not all of my armor this weekend, which is great because once that's out of the way I just have sewing and wig styling to do on Vaclav. I still have to finish Sheryl though D:

Oh, and 80 or so arrows for Vaclav, but I'm trying not to think about those.

Oh crap, I have to find gloves too.

Ah well! Should be simple enough.

[nikkiolie]

34 DAYS LEFT

[VampireFangs103]

Yeah! I'm getting pretty excited. :3 And I'm certain that this month will practically fly by.

Man, it feels like I have a TON to get done, but I think I'll be able to get mostly all of it done on Tuesday.
I need to:
-Sew my tube top for Koffing Done!
-Glue on Koffing's symbol to the kimono Done!
-Make a fan for Koffing Done!
-Buy another feather boa for Koffing Done!
-Sew a vest for Tuxedo Mask Done!
-Sew the cape for Tuxedo Mask Done!
-Sew belt pouches for Terra Done!
-Shorten and alter a shirt for Terra Done!
-Decorate a shirt for Terra Done!
-Make Tuxedo Mask's hat

and GET MY HAIR CUT 2) for Terra AND B) To make it slightly easier to fit under my wigs. XD

[Washougal_Otaku]

Man, it's kind of scary thinking about how close we are to KCon.  I'm still preparing for going to Anime Evolution, which is 12 days from now.

[Kimiski]

I was waiting for one of these to pop up myself!!

I really need to start working on finishing my cosplays -___- OY.

[LtCommanderRichie]

I'm roughly 63% done with Vaclav, hopefully more by the end of tonight. Figuring out this massive crazy collar is killing me * 3*

[soundninja12]

I'm excited

[nikkiolie]

I missed it this morning so I will do it anyways

33 days left till con (really 32 since today is over )

[~boogiepop~]

You know, 33 days left til con and they haven't announced any guests or anything yet. Anyone know when that's gonna happen? I doubt anyone I would be interested in would be coming but I'd still like to know.

Also, boyfriend bought me a ticket so I can actually go into the gameroom.

[Kimiski]

You know, 33 days left til con and they haven't announced any guests or anything yet. Anyone know when that's gonna happen? I doubt anyone I would be interested in would be coming but I'd still like to know.

It does seem later than usual? Should we be excited or very nervous? Waiting on the events schedule too. 

[thesirensings]

^ I was wondering about that, too. Are all the suggested guests busy or something?

[princessmoon]

Countdown already?!?!?! hehe...there was one that started @ 100 days last year. 33? Naniiii! Gotta get working on cosplays! ^.^

[nikkiolie]

32 DAYS LEFT!

[Washougal_Otaku]

The main page says 31 days right now, but then there's about 22 hours, as well.

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

just ordered my tie and rings

[Kimiski]

^ I was wondering about that, too. Are all the suggested guests busy or something?

Dunno, I know Vic Mignogna is going to be at Anime Vegas Sep.4-6th, (Damnit D< Quick, invite him for 2011 before Anime Vegas can!) but there were plenty others on that list.

[Trumby]

I have a feeling a bunch of guests will be getting announced at the meeting this weekend

[Hilla-Buttons]

I don't think Vic Mignogna will ever come to Kumoricon ever again. A while ago I/my sister heard that there was some kind of religious issues. If anyone does know the story, fill me in? lol ^_^;;

[StarryShay]

1. Pre-reg.
2. Finish my Togepi crown.
3. Buy the stuff for Magnet Len, i.e pants, vest, ribbon, etc.
4. Save up money for the dealers hall.
5. Pack lol xD
6. Buy tons of disposable camera's?
7. Practice for Karaoke contest.
8. Practice and record my skit with Meep~!

MY LIST :DD

[Washougal_Otaku]

I have a feeling a bunch of guests will be getting announced at the meeting this weekend

Isn't that kinda how it normally goes?  It usually seems like it's around this time that we know almost all of the guests.

[Trumby]

Not sure where you heard this or whatever it is supposed to be about, but Vic has never come to Kumoricon.

Really? It feels late to me? Maybe no *shrugs* 

[JeffT]

We now have a countdown timer in the forum too! It's at the bottom of each page. This SMF mod was created for us by LexManos. Thanks.

[Ticra]

AGH! so exciting but so STRESSFUL!

[Washougal_Otaku]

Yep!  I see it!

[LtCommanderRichie]

Well now you've got me freaking out. Thank you.

[Kimiski]

[J3l1yspy98]

Oh gawd... I still have so much to do!! I'm so excited and so stressed at the same time!!    I think my brain will explode soon if I don't get something done XD

[LtCommanderRichie]

I'm approaching 80% completion on Vaclav, which is great because I really only need to get to 92% to be happy. I'm not doing the halo for this con, maybe Sakuracon. Gotta finish the cloak, put arrows on everything, do the last of the grommeting and paint a few crosses. Oh, and finish the wig.

And then I gotta finish Sheryl. Frick.

I had forgotten how much I still had left to do. I need to stay out of this thread it will hurt my mind.

[StarryShay]

26 DAYS HOMIES

[nikkiolie]

Thanks Shay XD Been a little busy x.x

[Kimiski]

UGHHH
 All I wanna do it work on cosplay, but this week is finals week  -____-

[StarryShay]

nikki - Haha, no problem! xD
Want me to do it everyday? o.o;;
I'm....never busy. -Shot-

[nikkiolie]

Anyone can do it. I mean if you are up at midnight feel free to post the new count down. XD

[nyahaha]

[Kimiski]

Are we any closer to seeing the events schedule? I'm dying of anticipation! 

[princessmoon]

Are we any closer to seeing the events schedule? I'm dying of anticipation! 

Doesn't that usually come out a week (or two) before the con? :3  I'm anxious too!~ ^.^

[leadpoppy]

Oh the exitement. I don't really have a lot to do, but I'm still a little stressed. First off the school girl top I ordered is way too big on me. I have to take it to a tailor for alterations  T_T
I also have to get this darn wig to stop bleeding color...either that or I have to buy another one. I'm really glad I stuck with just one cosplay or else I'd be up a creek right about now.

[Kimiski]

I still have a LOT to do -___-
And not being able to do anything for another week (thanks to school) is freaking me out

[nikkiolie]

So close it hurts...gotta work on my mask this week

I am going to be spending the entirety of the 12 hour anime marathon I'm going to tomorrow  working on my costumes....

Once I actually get all of my stuff done I can get excited for con. *returns to painting shoes*

As of today, there is no such thing as "this weekend" (that only makes sense when spoken on a Saturday or Sunday...possibly Friday, though not really, to be technical). "Next weekend" now refers to the 28th and 29th. Kumoricon's weekend, covering the weekend of 4th and 5th, is "the weekend after next weekend".

I had a nightmare the other night that my wand for my cosplay broke, and I needed hot glue, but I forgot it in Salem, so I had to have someone drive it up, but I still needed to get into my cosplay and I was about to miss the start and one of my panels... it was horriiblllleee.... I threw hotglue in my suitcase as soon as I woke up. 

[Washougal_Otaku]

I'm hoping that my cosplay will be done in time.  The girl making it has been away for a few days and, supposedly, I'll begetting the fitting that should have happened two days ago, in a few days.

I hate the ones where you miss the con all together.

[Washougal_Otaku]

The closest thing to a con-related nightmare that I've had was forgetting where my room was, and while trying to find it, I ran into a T-Rex.

yeah, I know- I'm just watching all the little last minuters squirm and poking some fun.

[StarryShay]

>:U

[Mr Silmero]

>:U

yes, referring to you and some friends.


Course I "Started" my cosplay in January and just got done last week....

[StarryShay]

Haha, I started mine a few months ago too..
Wahh, I hate procrastinating.

Luckily, I'll be able to buy most of the stuff I need tomorrow. > u <

[Mr Silmero]

tomorrow? so that gives you...Three/fourish days to finish that list?



you are a braver person than I.

Closest thing I've ever come to last minuting something was finding the Jacket for my Frank West cosplay the weekend before con.

[Kimiski]

I've had to sit in the lobby and sew on day 0 before. 
Hopefully this year latest I will be done is Wednesday, and that's mostly due to the drying time for this glue being 72 hours.

[Mr Silmero]

Ok so this is an honest question-


why does that happen? I know people who were sewing AN HOUR before a con began and I was simply shocked.


I mean is it accidental like something breaks? was it circumstances that kept you from finishing or simply laziness and last minuting it?


I mean cons are supposed to be fun and the stress that comes with truely last minuting something cannot be fun...

[Kimiski]

Procrastination mostly?

In 2006, my roommates started their cosplay so late they spend all of day 1 of the con sewing in our room. I couldn't BELIEVE it....
This year I didn't want to start close to the convention because I changed my eating habits, so in a year I lost weight rapidly, and I was freaked if I did my cosplay too early it wouldn't fit right by the time of the convention. And I didn't want to take my wig out and style it too early cause I didn't want it sitting out around my house and get wrecked.

So I think people start later for worries close to their things getting wrecked, either that or they are honestly procrastinators. xD

[Mr Silmero]

*nods head* ahh, I see- well I figured it was mostly people being lazy but things like weight change and worry of keeping everything intact can be understandable.

[nyahaha]

Two years ago, I was sewing in the car on the way to the con one morning. Its mostly procrastination and underestimating what you can do in the time you have.

Sunny in the 70's???!! HELL YES PLEASE!!!!
If the hotel throws us outside and it's windy I'm going to super punch someone in the face, my wig will not be able to handle the outside lines like last year.

Absolutely true. Four years ago, I finished my Kabuto vest at Anime Evolution between days, when I should have been sleeping - I'm never planning on doing that again.

[Fuyuko]

I have very little to do compared to Shay but it's just the matter of getting it done... I'm not good at that. I NEED MOTIVATION DARN IT. >A<;;

[superjaz]

[Ticra]

DOOD!
<.<
>.>
I'm DONE!

[Agent47]

2 and a half days left.

And I'm still debating on whether or not I want to go.

I was totally set up for disappointment when I first went to k-con 08, at Lloyd, then my 2nd year, Hilton downtown. -.-

Yet, the gaming and vendors have the mighty kon-ingan(yes, bad sharingan pun), that keeps trying to genjutsu me into returning again. /sigh

[Ticra]

DOOD!
<.<
>.>
I'm DONE!

important since I leave for portland tomorrow...

[StarryShay]

Still a lot left to do, and I have tons of homework. -Shoots self-

[LtCommanderRichie]

Have you started school already or something?

Yeesh. And I thought that was just my niece and nephew.

[anime_rocker]

harsh, i don't start school until the 8th.

[nikkiolie]

Only one more day of work. I need to finish packing tomorrow and pick up a few more groceries

[Agent47]

Only one more day of work. I need to finish packing tomorrow and pick up a few more groceries

Gotta have milk with that pocky. 

[nikkiolie]

More like we need giant banana nut muffins for the room

[Mr Silmero]

Ahh, Vacation....Now for a day of rest/packing and load in then Kumoricon begins (for me at least)

[Agent47]

Well, I still think pocky with milk is a good idea, but that sounds really good too. lol

I haven't had a banana nut muffin a while.. I usually go with poppyseed, or something that involves berries or apples. I dunno why.. I love bananas and banana breads, they just don't ever stick out to me when I'm hungry. xD

[thesirensings]

I have cookies to bake and fried rice to make tomorrow! I need to have it all ready for the picnic on Friday!

[Agent47]

Hmm.. I guess this means I should have some sort of pre-con food consuming event. Guess that means I'll get sushi on Friday.

[VampireFangs103]

Can't wait to see you all tomorrow! *squeals* X3

[wolfy2491]

^ AHAHAHAHHA, You're such a girl on the forums.

[AsdfAnimeProductionbackup]

[nikkiolie]

I need to finish packing, buy muffins and go to work then I am ready for con

[LtCommanderRichie]

Packing tomorrow before I leave.

No, really.

I'm gonna spend today cutting muffins into bite-size chunks and pressing and starching hakama pleats. Packing for me entails putting everything in the car, though.

And then I'm driving all the way to Portland! : D

[fuuwindgoddess]

I'm not going until saturday so i have friday to pack hehe

[Washougal_Otaku]

Like I said...

[nikkiolie]

Alright got everything I need at the store. Now to bathe and finish packing. They are paving the road in our neighborhood so we can't drive on it so we are parking the car outside of the neighborhood and thus forcing me to load my big crap in my car the night before x.x

[Washougal_Otaku]

I'm trying to polish up my comedy routine for the Stand-up comedy panel.

[nikku5]

So is the stand up comedy something I should check out? Thought about it but I'm not sure.

[RokusasuKun]

...ohman. Tomorrow's day 0. And I still need to finalize my con plans and such, mainly rides/if I'm still going with certain people.
