Portland sounds good. Guess we'll just have to get to know Vancouver when it gets closer to con-time.
Goodwill for boy's clothes. It'll take you maybe a couple hours, if you hit up an area with multiple thrift stores.

I'm down with having my picture used. Make sure to post a link up here with your photos after the shoot so we can see them too!

The sun won't be setting 'til pretty late, so I don't think they'll come in much use.

TreeNostalgia · « **Reply #301 on:** March 15, 2011, 06:40:26 pm »

I'm sure we could find some place dark enough... Like an alley.
Goodness, does that make me sound like a stalkercreeper. >.>

Absolutely, I'll link to the pictures! I know we'll all want to see the amazingness that we will surely bring to wherever it is we finally decide on meeting.

Malaria · « **Reply #302 on:** March 15, 2011, 06:52:20 pm »

As a general rule, if it's dark enough for glowsticks, it's too dark for pictures of anything else.

Harucha · « **Reply #303 on:** March 15, 2011, 06:55:18 pm »

Portland is sounding good for everyone then. I live in Portland so it is certainly better for me.

Tree, could you take public transportation down? Or something? Depending on how close you are to the border, I'd be willing to go and grab you and any other Vancouver kids and then bring you down.

Glowsticks would be great but like Malaria said, glowstick dark is generally too dark for everything. Especially when you'd be using your phone like me and it doesn't have flash.

I'm also chill with having my picture shown in your class!

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #304 on:** March 15, 2011, 07:07:59 pm »

If you guys need more photographers, I wouldn't mind taking some pictures of you guys, that is, if I don't have to work on the 21st. I'm not a great photographer, heck I wouldn't even really call myself one, but the offer is open~

Malaria · « **Reply #305 on:** March 15, 2011, 07:44:59 pm »

Rebecca: YOU SHOULD COME. We'll all chill and say mean things about dead people.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #306 on:** March 15, 2011, 07:47:53 pm »

Malaria: Ok~. Once you guys figure out a time I'll see if I can make it. You guys are meeting at Pioneer Square?

TreeNostalgia · « **Reply #307 on:** March 15, 2011, 08:19:27 pm »

:T Public transportation would take a pretty long time from here. (Plus I have this inherent fear, as a 5 foot nothing tiny person, of going alone.) I'm not-so-sure about you coming to get me, though, Harucha, awesome as your offer is. The parentals would make a huge frowny face at the prospect, 'cause, technically, strangers. I might be able to convince my brother or a friend to drive me down, though.

Are there any other Vancouver kids? Just curious.

I'll have to run the idea by my parents and then get back to you. Unfortunately I won't have an answer until tomorrow at the earliest.

Also, regarding the glow sticks, I just get ridiculously excited about some things, glow sticks being one of those things. It's too bad, though. And sharks. I'll have to remember to bring the shark.

Harucha · « **Reply #308 on:** March 15, 2011, 09:19:08 pm »

Oh god of course! My parents would feel the same way if a stranger was coming to get me. I guess I just didn't think about it ;; I also understand the public transport thing.

I can wait until tomorrow. As long as it's figured out by Saturday we'll be bro.

I love glowsticks. I might just buy some anyway and then derp over them and be insanely out of character. Rave!Conrad, whoo. ALSO I LOVE SHARKS.

As for you, Rebecca, having you as a photographer would be great! It doesn't matter that you aren't a pro....I don't think many of us are. Having any photographer would be bomb.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #309 on:** March 17, 2011, 08:37:30 pm »

Ok, so I found out my work schedule for next week. I work until 1:30, which means that I could get down to Portland by a little after 2 pm. You certainly don't need to work your time frame around my schedule, I can just call someone and ask where you guys are at that specific time.

TreeNostalgia · « **Reply #310 on:** March 18, 2011, 04:45:46 pm »

I shall be able to be there at the shoot! It's now, like, a ninety-something percent chance. Harucha, thank you again for offering to give me a ride, but I discussed it with my parents and my dad would prefer that either he or my brother drive me instead. So that can also mean that we have a tag-along that might be willing to do some group shots so we can all be in the same photo at least once.

Monday will be interesting, that's for sure.

Malaria · « **Reply #311 on:** March 18, 2011, 04:53:33 pm »

'Kay, so going by what everyone's said so far, meeting at Pioneer Square at 2:30?
We'll need a secondary location to shoot at. Possibly a few of them? People at PSU, any suggestions?

Naruchan · « **Reply #312 on:** March 18, 2011, 05:03:03 pm »

pearl District? o3o

Malaria · « **Reply #313 on:** March 18, 2011, 05:13:02 pm »

It is awful purdy over there. Any specific areas so we don't exhaust ourselves wandering around?

Naruchan · « **Reply #314 on:** March 18, 2011, 06:48:28 pm »

Just near some pretty buildings is what I was thinking.

Malaria · « **Reply #315 on:** March 18, 2011, 07:07:36 pm »

The problem with that is that Peal is always covered in people, so we'd need somewhere vaguely specific where we could be guaranteed some clear shots. That and Hanna is set in kind of gritty, urban environments. Less frou frou, except for Conrad's place.

Harucha · « **Reply #316 on:** March 18, 2011, 08:10:09 pm »

2:30 is perfect. I'll change the front page. We'll meet in the square at 2:30.

I'm glad you can make it, Rebecca and Tree!

As for places, we could sneak some shots in NW for maybe Connie's place- it's nice but not too crowded. For gritty, we could try the industrial district. Lots of warehouses and grit plus it's not too far from NW and downtown. We could try the pearl, maybe. The outskirts might be less crowded and some parts still look like the warehouses they once were. I'll head downtown on Sunday and try to scout out some spots. The problem is finding grundgy while not going into some sketch neighborhoods...which we could do but, you know, being safe is cool.

TreeNostalgia · « **Reply #317 on:** March 20, 2011, 01:37:45 am »

Aw, man, I'm gonna be so late to the meet-up! I'll try to be there as early as I can, but I can't guarantee any earlier than 3:30 and even that is kind of pushing it. -.-;;

How long do you guys think you'll hang around Pioneer Square?

Malaria · « **Reply #318 on:** March 20, 2011, 11:42:15 am »

Probably not that late. How about you message me with your number, and when you're heading downtown you can call me and I'll let you know where we are?

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #319 on:** March 20, 2011, 12:04:01 pm »

^I would not mind your number either, Malaria. Especially since my work might use my call-in which would require me to stay way later than 1:30, if that's the case, I rather you guys just go ahead without me instead of waiting. Ha.

Harucha · « **Reply #320 on:** March 20, 2011, 12:40:27 pm »

I found a few possible places we can go. If we take the 17 for long enough, there's a lot of warehouses and great places to shoot. We can look at places downtown and NW too. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm open to them.

And because I am a mom; Remember to bring money for food and public transport. The weather's been funky down here too, so you might want to bring a jacket or something. Sometimes it's really warm and sometimes it fricking cold. It seems like phone numbers are covered but if anyone needs mine let me know.

Malaria · « **Reply #321 on:** March 20, 2011, 12:55:12 pm »

I think, considering that we'll have latecomers, we should stick downtown at least for the first little while. Also, herding a large group onto the bus? Not worth the pain, most of the time. ._. I know of a couple good grungy-looking type alleyways around PSU campus. We can either walk or take the Max if it's raining. Those stops are in Fareless Square, which is nice.

I don't mean to shoot down your idea of heading out to the warehouses. It's just my experience that meetup that requires a large group of people to cover a lot of ground tends to fall apart, or you end up with lots of people lost or scared.

Harucha · « **Reply #322 on:** March 20, 2011, 01:51:20 pm »

I don't mind! This is my first time organizing a shoot or anything of this type, so advice i really appreciated. I'm a little nervous so keeping it simple is probably the best course of action anyway. ;; Looking around PSU seems like a good idea, and I'm sure we can find some good stuff downtown.

Malaria · « **Reply #323 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:47:29 pm »

Just went back and re-read what I said. lalala what is proofreading

Haha, yeah. More complicated tends to be more daunting. Together, we can make it work!

So it looks like the for-sure plan now is meet at the Square at 2:30 and stick in the downtown/PSU area?

Naruchan · « **Reply #324 on:** March 21, 2011, 12:40:31 am »

I like the idea of being in the same area. Because I know I'll be a bit late.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #325 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:00:44 am »

Photoshoot pictures are up! Some of the effects look pretty 'meh' but whatever. I never claimed to be a photographer!

Also TreeNostalgia, I apologize for my overuse of profane language during the meet-up. I have a potty mouth and I am sorry for it.

Malaria · « **Reply #326 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:13:14 am »

I TOTALLY STAYED UP FOR THIS NOT GONNA LIE
<33
Thank you for the super quick turnaround.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #327 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:19:12 am »

No problem! Told ya I'd have them up by tonight

Would any of you guys mind if I posted some of these on facebook?

Harucha · « **Reply #328 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:20:50 am »

I had no clue that these were going to be up, but I'm glad I happened to be awake! Aaaaah they're great! I actually went through the whole album ;; Thanks so much for putting them up!

This is great I am so happy right now!

And go ahead, post them on facebook! I don't mind.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #330 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:33:28 am »

Are there any ones in particular you don't want me to show are are you good?

TreeNostalgia · « **Reply #331 on:** March 22, 2011, 06:20:11 am »

Rebecca, I don't think I even noticed, haha! Oh, high school, what you have done to me! //dramatic

I'll have my pictures up today, hopefully. I'm just really picky about everything remotely art-y I do so if there aren't a whole bunch of them then that is why. eue;; I was having fun with shutter speed and making things darker.

I had fun, by the way; I'm just really quiet with people I don't know personally. It was great meeting you all yesterday!

Malaria · « **Reply #332 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:34:51 pm »

Sandro: I'm okay with whatever. There's nothing especially incriminating in there, so whatever.

Tree: Don't worry about the slow! You can do things at whatever pace.

It was good to meet you too. You're adorable~ <3

Naruchan · « **Reply #333 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:57:07 pm »

REBECCA! I love the picture you took of me waving! It's so cute

When Amber and I get home we're photo dumping every where! XD
So excite, Hashi looks like she's see through because of the white make up.xD

@tree It was really awesome to meet you. XD your shark was awesome to!

Count me in to be [...] and my friend is going to be Toni for Sakuracon and Kumoricon.

This is a fo' sho' deal as I've already scrounged up most of my costume, and she's pretty much done with hers not counting the wig.

For those of you going as the [...], so you know, Vans currently has awesome shoes to match his, complete with black laces. I bought mine at Journeys at Washington Square mall. The only drawback, they're hard to do bar lacing with since they have odd holes on either side of the shoe tongue, and they are NEON orange. If that isn't a problem, go for it.

Here's a link: http://www.journeys.com/product.aspx?id=158160&g=guys&p=shoes&l=orange&m=SM

LYCHEE!
I'm so excited you're cosplaying Zombie.
8D

Les us know if you have any success with The Bar lacing.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #340 on:** March 23, 2011, 09:58:45 pm »

I did have success! I just left the top lace holes unlaced. I tie it under the tongue of my shoe so the knot's hidden. It's a little uncomfortable, but at least it works

I found the PERFECT shirt at Value Village. I was so excited. I just need the face paint, wig, pants, and trenchcoat. Possibly new gloves. We'll see about that last one.

I can't wait for Kumoricon to meet up with you guys!

Naruchan · « **Reply #341 on:** March 23, 2011, 10:37:37 pm »

We'll have to have some bomb diggity photoshoot action!
uncomfortable shoes are the way to cosplay, yeah!
Congratz on your shirt find! :3 I bought a new sweater for Hanna, but I like it a bit more, because it's more black then the one I used for mew-con.
:9 I wish your friend luck on her Toni wig! I know that one other awesome person in the thread is almost done with theirs.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #342 on:** March 23, 2011, 11:09:10 pm »

Kiwi opted to have her friend make the wig. She probably could have done it herself, but she's never had to really style a wig before, and Toni would be a super big challenge.

Her friend was Tanuki Mario last year at Sakuracon and is going to do a fantastic job, I'm sure.

Can't wait to see your Hanna in person :3

Naruchan · « **Reply #343 on:** March 24, 2011, 12:58:44 am »

Oh I see!
XD I agree, Toni's wig is a challenge!
I wish Kiwi's friend best of luck! XD

Haha, I need to do some work on the wig, and get some spirit gum, but I play to have it all perfected for Kumo.

and I can't wait to see your zombie! <3

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #344 on:** March 27, 2011, 12:53:31 am »

Outfit-wise, I pretty much have everything for Zombie. I might just pick up some better boots (I need better ones for another cosplay anyway, so I might as well kill two birds with one stone.) Shortly after the start of the term after tuition is all paid I'll go get those boots, some black make-up, feathers, and I'll totally be done. <3

I was all "Boots? What boots?" then I remembered you were going to be Fem![...] Haha. Well, if you need his sneakers, I posted a link a little while ago above.

Can you dish on what outfit you're going to wear? I'm curious!

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #346 on:** March 27, 2011, 06:23:31 pm »

Nah, I saw your link, but I'm going with boots, thanks though :]

It'll pretty much be boots, orange tights, orange shirt, tie, black pencil skirt, and maybe some gloves.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #347 on:** March 27, 2011, 06:28:05 pm »

Sounds cute! Really cute. It sounds like it be good with a black suit vest, too. That's just me thinking, though.

I think you should go with the gloves. I just bought a pair for [. . .] today at Freddies for $5. They were on super clearance. If nothing else, it will be good so you won't have to worry about paint sloughing off your hands and having to retouch them.

Lychee: I only just noticed your comment about the paint sloughing off the hands, which is an excellent point. I reapplied the white to my hands three or four times Friday of Sakuracon. Some of it barely stayed on, and some of it didn't wanna come off at all.
