I will be having the staff outside the doors more heavily enforcing the dress code this year, yes. I am sorry it was not run that way previously, but this year we will be trying our best to keep it from being a repeat.

Excellent! Thank you for clarifying.

She said during curfew, meaning that minors can go in.  (Though I personally would prefer the opposite, but it's not that big of a deal to me, so whatever works...).

Whoops, sorry I got confused like that. Sorry that minors bug you, but I hope everyone has a great time there this year - I'm so happy the KumoriBall is back!

It's not that minors bug me, but there are times that, as an adult, I personally prefer being in situations where there are no minors around.  Even though this is a con (therefore making the next thing I'm going to say not really being applicable), to me a ball ought to be for those that are mature regarding their relationships, or not rambuncious hell'yans all over the place.  (No offense to the minors out there, I know that not all of you are like that, and that some adults are).  Since it's a con, and there are exceptions, the lack of an age limit is understandably fine for me.  Besides, I'm not even sure if I'll be at it or not, simply because of the dress code...

Speaking of which, has that been posted, yet?  I haven't seen them...

I'm excited to see that this is happening again! I haven't gone to the Kumori ball in the previous years, but my friends and I are going to go this year. My only question is is it a ticketed event?

I'll be going as the 2012 Kumoricon Mascot to the ball :)

A ball gown is perfectly appropriate for this event, and the cosplay you linked to is fine as well.

No, this will not be a ticketed event.  At dances, many people come and go, so we will not be restricting it by ticket.  In the event there is a huge turnout for this, you may spend some time waiting outside the room until people leave, but hopefully there aren't any issues for people getting in  :)

Would Lust, from Fullmetal Alchemist, be considered sufficiently formal?  It's not a ballgown, but it is eveningwear, and I'd love a chance to break out my foxtrot.  :D

I can probably guess the answer is no but would a water tribe cosplay (the winter coat and pants) be acceptable? specifically the coat worn by the masked waterbenders in this photo. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb57525/avatar/images/6/60/Northern_Water_Tribe_warriors.png

So to answer the last three questions:

Masks are not required, but if you choose to wear one you must be able to see just as clearly as if you were not wearing one. Any cosplay that is obviously a cosplay and not just something like a cat ears and tail accessory is acceptable.

And quite frankly I would love to see a Mephistopheles. xD

Are there any times or days known for the ball yet? : )
Kumori-con 2013 cosplay plans:
Day zero: Sollux Captor
Day one: Meenah peixes
Day two: Fem! Grand highblood.
Day three: We leave at about 1:30 pm, and it's a long drive home, so no cosplay on day three. Too much make up to take on and off, haha.

^ Sounds about right.  If they're going to have it open to minors, it would make sense to start it relatively early, rather than later.  I think they were planning a second dance afterwards, too, like a rave, or something...

Hey guys! Just to let you all know that we have the playlist set up and the dance is good to go! It'll be Sunday Night at 8:30PM in the Main Events (Heritage A/B/C/D in the Hilton). We're looking forward to having you all attend our dance. This is a semi-formal event, and proper attire is required—if you are not properly attired, you will be turned away at the door!

Footwear

Shoes are required, so please choose something you will be able to dance comfortably in. Flip-flops, sandals, and sneakers are not appropriate, unless they are part of your cosplay.

Attire

Non-formal fabrics such as flannel, denim, and mylar shall not be allowed. At least half of your body must be covered in fabric—bare midriffs or bare chests are not allowed. Formal/semi-formal attire from Asian countries is acceptable.

Female attire: Semi-formal attire includes prom dresses, evening gowns, cocktail dresses, and dressy separates. Skirts should be no shorter than knee-length and at least an inch off the floor (for ease of movement).

Male attire: Minimum of a button down shirt, slacks, and a tie are required. Suits and tuxedos are encouraged, and highly welcome.

Cosplay attire: Cosplay must be of a recognizable character or character-type: a generic shinigami or school uniform is acceptable; generic street clothes are not. Cat ears are not considered cosplay.

Large props, wings, and weapons will not be allowed as they will be an impediment on the dance floor, and may be broken or harm others. If any part of your attire restricts your movement, you may be asked to remove it.

Also, there will be classes for the ball room lessons! Yay! Thanks to our talented team of dancers we will be able to put on classes for you all to attend!

Sun 1:30pm - Sun 2:30pm – Panel 3 (Heritage E – Hilton)
Sun 2:30pm - Sun 3:30pm – Panel 3 (Heritage E – Hilton)
Sun 3:30pm - Sun 4:30pm – Panel 3 (Heritage E – Hilton)

So don't be shy! Attend and learn to dance and impress that Man/woman you'll be dancing with!

The ball has always been open to everyone, and been on day two before the rave, and lasts about two hours, and since the rave starts at 10, makes since.

What about men in crossplay?  I was thinking about possibly doing a formal Michiru...

What kind of music is going to be played? I mean, is it just different kinds than what's played at the rave, or is it ball music? Will there be jazz, boogie, or rock and roll? Or is it just "ball" music (waltz classical etc)?

Crossplay is allowed, you just have to follow the dress code for the gender you are crossplaying.

It's a ball, so it will be geared more toward ballroom dancing: waltz, foxtrot, etc.

Without saying what exactly is on the playlist, the styles of dance are going to be swing, waltz, 2 step, tango, foxtrot, and a polka for fun.

A friend of mine had a question. Her dress is just barely above her knees and she wants to know if that's okay or not since she did look at the dress code and it said the dress needs to be below the knee-level.

If it's just barely above the knees, it should be fine.  If she's still concerned, send a pic to kumoriconball@kumoricon.org and we can take a look and let her know. :)

Just to clarify, the Ball is on Sunday, right? All of the event schedules show it on Sunday from 8:30 to 10:00, although artamisalbrya stated that it's on Saturday? I did notice that artamisalbrya also stated that the dance classes are on Sunday, which would only make sense if the dance is on Sunday as well - I'm just making sure so I can be positive I won't miss it! :)

I was pretty upset about the person cap. I heared from my friends who got in that it was capped with PLENTY  of room left.
What was the deal with that? was it so there was more room to dance?
Can someone answer me when they have the time, please : )

Hey there! I was the one who personally set the cap on the room. The reason why I capped the room when it wasn't quite all the way full was because I wanted to have plenty of room for people to dance. I knew that as the ball grew in size that people would quickly lose room to dance. I didn't want to have people running into each other while they tried to tango or even do the simple box waltz. I know that myself personally, I had a problem trying to dance with the partners I did dance with because of lack of space.
However, I did notice that over time people where cycling through and they where letting smaller groups come in. Next year I will petition to have a larger dance area, however, the chances of that happening aren't very big considering that we had the largest room in the entire hotel. So I apologize that you may or may not have gotten a chance to attend and we'll try better next time to have more room for you all to attend.
