So my parents are super parranoid about the whole thing and say that I can only stay until 7:30, it really sucks. But my mom thinks it's too dangerous espcially since it's late at "night" at a studio with some stranger.

If you can only stay until 7:30, then remind me to take photos of you first.

Can you come to the shoot on Jan 15? That one is during the day.

It's funny, because I know we're just taking photos like we have many times before, but on the other hand I can sort of understand their point of view. They haven't met me, and looking at it from the outside, it probably does seem like a weird thing.

I'm sorry about having the shoot be late, I would have liked to have it during the day, but that didn't fit with my work schedule. I'll try to have future shoots be earlier.

For those coming tonight, please dress warmly. It's going to get really cold tonight and the studio might be cold.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #153 on:** December 30, 2010, 01:50:12 pm »

Ok so zoe isn't coming, and so I'm not coming. All I have to say is Zoe fails at planing...
But I can to the shoot on the 15th!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #154 on:** December 30, 2010, 05:21:04 pm »

I'm dropping out of having a cosplay on the 15th photoshoot. I'm probably going to come to hang but I just decided that all my cosplays that are finished were terrible and ripped them apart so I can remake them for the 3rd time, lol.

ironmonkey · « **Reply #155 on:** December 31, 2010, 06:18:55 pm »

Thanks to everyone who came to the photo shoot last night, it was really fun! I know some people walked a really long way in the freezing cold to get there -- I admire your perseverance.

Here are a few samples from last night:

I will put more of the photos online once I've had time to edit them.

If you missed the one last night, there is still some room at the photo shoot on January 15.

I've put up a bunch of photos from the shoot on Dec 30, on Flickr here:

I'll add a few more when time allows.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #157 on:** January 04, 2011, 01:27:57 am »

Thanks so much for the shoot. I am very happy with it

I would still love to do one with Bangbang and I as Morrigan and Lilith once we get the costumes done.

shanime_panda · « **Reply #158 on:** January 04, 2011, 08:30:50 am »

I can't come on the 15th

I tried really hard, but I'm lucky enough that I get to go to Sakuracon, I shouldn't press my luck.
I WILL SEE YOU GUYS EVENTUALLY

ironmonkey · « **Reply #159 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:41:32 pm »

nikkiolie: Thanks, glad you liked it. If you and BangBangNeko want to do another shoot later, we can arrange something.

shanime_panda: OK, sorry you can't make it, but maybe I'll see you at Sakuracon.

boogiepop: You are welcome to come without cosplay and just hang out.

Wrath-Chan19: OK, we'll see you on the 15th then. Is Zoe also coming on the 15th? Are you planning to bring other people too? How many?

nyahaha: See you on the 15th.

OK here's the updated list for the 15th, please let me know if anything here isn't right:

Yes: nyahaha, fleur_fraise, nekovamp13, luvan1me, LtCommanderRichie, boogiepop (without cosplay), BangBangNeko, Gryffinclaw Princess + friend, FateChooseMe, Ali (2nd photographer), Wrath-Chan19, Zoe.

Unlikely: meep, StarryShay, oslapedo, AgehaIX

Thanks again to everyone who came for the shoot on the 30th, and a special thanks to Megan who came just to assist.

It will be great. Oh yeah, and I'm going to try to go to the theater in the next week or to see what the set will actually look like. I'll let you know.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #162 on:** January 04, 2011, 08:25:41 pm »

Okay! I'm going to be wearing the costume I wore in the Cosplay Contest (you took an awesome picture of Haley and me onstage while wearing it) so I'm really excited to finally have a nice shoot for it.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #163 on:** January 05, 2011, 04:03:17 pm »

I will have to ask Zoe about wether or not she is going so put her down as maybe, and I'm not sure about other people joining us

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #164 on:** January 07, 2011, 12:47:59 am »

Pictures look awesome *w*

Can't wait for the 15th shoot ^^
Hopefully I'll be able to fully finish my Cheshire cosplay by then.

And Taikei is planning on going to the shoot. Not sure if she posted here or not, but I noticed she wasn't on your list. So, just wanted to make sure she got noticed ^^

May bring Kaito as well, if she doesn't get Dagger done by then.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #165 on:** January 07, 2011, 07:23:08 am »

I talked to Zoe, she says she wants to go, but I'm waiting to see if she gets the okay from her mom.
I'm probably going to go as Default Rin, since I love that costume so much

Taikei · « **Reply #166 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:11:10 am »

I just realized that I know /when/ this is....but have no idea /where/ this is XD

luvan1me · « **Reply #167 on:** January 07, 2011, 04:50:50 pm »

hey guys ._. i need help deciding since i can't finish my default aqua cosplay in time ;~;

should i bring my furret costume? or should do my improved gumi?

Hi Taikei, I'm glad you can come to this. The location is at the Profile Theatre, at 3430 Southeast Belmont Street, Portland, OR 97213. It is right on the Bus 15 route.

ironmonkey · « **Reply #169 on:** January 07, 2011, 08:10:11 pm »

I just heard from the theater that it will be a very minimal set, mostly black with just a few pieces of furniture. I will go see it tomorrow. So we may want to bring something else in. Let me know if you have ideas.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #170 on:** January 07, 2011, 09:29:11 pm »

I need to figure out how to get there......
To Trimet.org!!!!!!

And Doe, I think Furret should be outside for photos, since that's a better environment...But it's your choice.
And you could get a bunch of group shots with Gumi since it seems like there's gonna be quite a few Vocaloids there...

EDIT!!!

Just checked out the Trimet planner....

Take MAX to PGE park
Catch Bus 15 (Belmont/NW 23rd to Gateway TC) Near 18th and Morrison
Get off at Belmont & 34th
And Theater is near there.

luvan1me · « **Reply #171 on:** January 07, 2011, 11:57:52 pm »

hmz ._. well i guess walking with that furret costume will be a pain XD but walking in the cold with gumi ._. ;~; i'll have to bring a giant coat and tennis shoes cuz i can't wear those high heels >.< OH!

kristi! do you have any teal ish green ish paint? to color my shoes?

if not let me know cuz i gotta go and grab some so i can finish my shoes. i might drop by joanne's for fabric for my shoes cuz i need to replace the green flappy parts on my boots that got lost at kcon10 >.<

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #172 on:** January 08, 2011, 12:00:32 am »

Um......No. I don't. I don't even have green paint to make teal....Just lots of blue...

Taikei · « **Reply #173 on:** January 08, 2011, 12:03:53 am »

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #176 on:** January 08, 2011, 12:47:53 am »

Hey Tom. Just fyi. To make it easier in the future and so people don't have to go through the posts or ask a million times, there is a way to edit your first post.

On all your own posts in the upper right corner there's a "Modify" button, which allows you to edit your posts.

It would be easier if you could also edit your first post on the first page with all the updated info about the shoots and such, so people can just look there.

Thanks!

Thanks, I forgot I could do that. I updated the first post.

I went to the theater earlier today to take a look at what is there. It is not a full set, it is very minimal, with just a few pieces of furniture: a couch, some chairs and benches. We can rearrange and use those or move them out of the way. But mostly it is plain black walls and floor. This is good because it means there won't be a "themed" background that might conflict with some of the cosplays.

Here are some photos I took of the space today (in these photos all the stuff is moved over into one corner).

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #178 on:** January 08, 2011, 01:59:23 pm »

I might come in cosplay now because a bunch of things fell in my lap, haha. It might be simple but I think I'll come in my Genderbend Lucas Lee cosplay if I can borrow my friends wig or find a black wig to borrow.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #179 on:** January 08, 2011, 05:24:48 pm »

I was banking my being able to get to the shoot on my having a car, but an interesting story involving promises not being kept and someone being a **** for no good reason has resulted in my not having one by now. I might not be able to attend, which will be a shame of epic proportions.

I really do wish I could go, though. Hopefully something will come to light in the next few days that will let me get to Portland without any problems.

Taikei · « **Reply #180 on:** January 09, 2011, 12:24:47 am »

I think that couch is kinda ugly XD I'm thinking of trying to bring something to cover the couch with like a huge colorful blanket or something...

Btw does this cost moneys D:> I just realized that this theater prolly isn't just gonna rent us this space for free.... ; u ;

If money is involved, I may have to take my name off of the 'can do' list.

There is no charge to come to this. I'm paying for the theater rental. If people feel they can afford it and would like to contribute something towards the rental cost, that would be nice, but it is not required. I'd much rather have more people come to this and have fun, than have anyone drop out because of money.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #182 on:** January 09, 2011, 10:31:47 am »

It's at Profile?!?!?! My mom worked with them for a season as they're prop lady.
also my friend Haley wants to join if she get the ok from her parents
I will also be a tad bit late, I have a class that ends at 12:30, and I will have to stop at my house to eat and pick up Zoe and Haley, if they can come. So I'll probably be there about 1:30

luvan1me · « **Reply #183 on:** January 09, 2011, 12:04:21 pm »

i'll be paying about 15 bucks

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #184 on:** January 09, 2011, 01:29:36 pm »

I'll throw in 5 bucks but that's all I can. I originally planned to pay 10 but I am on the edge of being dirt poor due to some loan costs that came up :\

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #185 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:15:28 pm »

If I'm well enough to babysit tomorrow, I'll give my 20 ^^

And I'll probably bring some fabrics for back drops or seat covers and such. I have some really pretty fabrics ^^

If there's a color or design someone wants, just tell me and I'll see what I can find!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #186 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:23:58 pm »

If you could just bring plain black fabric that would be awesome, I don't want the stuff in the background to be distracting.

nyahaha · « **Reply #187 on:** January 09, 2011, 03:58:25 pm »

I'll be wearing Joker Miku for this, and I'll bring $5 for sure, hopefully I can bring more though.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #188 on:** January 09, 2011, 05:48:48 pm »

I'll bring $5 as well, I wish it could be more, but I'm broke
I have a good amount of props in my house since my whole family are in the theater business. I could ask if I could bring some along if people wanted some props

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #189 on:** January 09, 2011, 06:06:23 pm »

I cannot attend, I forgot about prior events I was supposed to attend.
I'm sorry! Have fun guys. :3

I'm not sure, because I don't know what you have available. Bring things that would look interesting in a photo . . . I like props that the person can hold (folding fan, etc.) especially if they suggest a larger context around the action (martini glass, notebook, flashlight . . .).

If you have some kind of rug we could unroll on the floor, that might be interesting, otherwise the floor will just be black.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #194 on:** January 10, 2011, 11:14:39 am »

I have everything, my house is full of interesting props.
I'll see if there is a rug I can bring

nyahaha · « **Reply #195 on:** January 10, 2011, 04:26:20 pm »

There is a possibility I can bring a rug. I'll see what I can swipe from my house.
Also, is there a table there that I can cover with a cloth or something?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #196 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:44:26 pm »

If anyone has swords, I'd love to use them ^^
And maybe guns (fake of course) as well.

luvan1me · « **Reply #197 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:49:16 pm »

still got my long dagger kristi =w= also ima just be alice so do you think you can bring the blonde wig?

since i won't be able to finish aqua until sakuracon >.<

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #198 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:50:38 pm »

I'm going to be bringing an antique-looking lantern, so people can borrow that from me if they'd like :3

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #199 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:54:38 pm »

Doe, okay. If you brought the dagger, that'd be wonderful ^^ And I'll make sure to brush out the wig beforehand.
