What really sucks is I still don't know who a lot of you were. It's hard to match up forum people and real-life people. Of all you guys hanging around the tent, I don't know who's who!

if you click on the pictures I posted, I labeled who most people were in the captions

I know the Publicity people, and Tom's kind of hard to miss, but that is all. And I wanted to meet someone who wanted to be our charity auction manager this year, but never figured out who it was or if she even showed.

Waiiitt... You where there? XD How did I not know you were there? -siiiiigh-

I was wearing my t-shirt that said "I am ninja, you can't see me" on it, so you didn't see me

Not really, I just didn't hang out at the booth the whole time, really only between doing other stuff.

D: Ohhh...

'Cus I was gona apologize, for being rude earlier in the year... :\ But it's lame to do it over the internet because you ca'nt see me cry.

I remember Yamcha headbanging, but didn't understand why.

I was doing just for the heck of it... Also because it isn't often that I believe my hair is long enough to actually get a kick out of doing it.

I believe I saw you there guspasho, then again, it's all little more than a dream to me right now. You were wearing sunglasses, right? If so, I was wondering why in the world you were being ridiculously quiet. If it was you, I thought that you were ticked off about something, you looked mad.

It was cool to see other people in cosplay as the day went on. I had to convince my FMA-crazed friend to go take a picture of the Greed cosplayer, as well as the two Edwards. She's so shy! ^_^

Overall it was a great experience! I loved every minute of it. And now I'm all psyched for the con.

Haha, that's me (Greed) and the two Edwards were actually an Edward and a movie Alphonse (friends with them)!

Gushapo: I'm rather hard to miss as long as I'm in my costume..seeing how Greed is pretty difficult to not see <.<

In picture 46/49 (in Leashy's Yahoo photo thing...) that is my friend Asia in the foreground (Pink Kimono) and my girlfriend "Dizzy" in her awesome Asuka Cosplay.

In picture 48/49, behind Shadow... Is me. You can see the back like, 1/8th of my body... The only way you can tell that's me is from the cut off khaki shorts.

I have to give this event another thumbs up... People recognized my girlfriend as Asuka instead of the girl from Rahxephon... I think at the last K-Con 3 people knew she was Asuka out of how many people went? At the Sakura Festival... I believe more people recognized her out of the what? 50 K-Con attendees that went? That boosted her confidence in her costume.

leashy · « **Reply #156 on:** April 23, 2006, 07:07:01 pm »

her costume was sooo pretty too, I really wish I had gotten a better picture of it

You're Greed! My friend thought you were just awesome. But she was so shy to go over and talk to you. I barely got her to go over there and take your picture. Your costume was great! =D

*Hits self* D'oh.. I knew they were an Edward and an Alphonse. Why in the heck did I type that? *fixes*

That was an absolute blast. I loved cosplaying, by September at least I should have the costume completed, with shoes, proper clips and my hair cut the right way.
It was so awesome meeting people and hanging out around the tent. I loved Megumi's hair and the two girls with cat ears *I'm horrid with names, sorry* Everyone there amazed me and you were all so nice! I registered and am all set and ready to go to Kumoricon!

Hello - this is Sarah. I met a few of you at the fest (Spindrift etc.) - your tent looked great and I love the mascot! I am sorry you ran out of reg forms for a while, but like I said, what a great problem to have - lots of people interested! I am very excited to help out as a Kumoricon volunteer in any way I can: pr, auction whatever! Can't wait!

Hope to talk to you all soon,
Antares

There were others with cameras so maybe someone else has some pictures to post up. Daxe sorry I didn't get a picture of you and Xaam. It was before I started goign camera crazy

BLAST! Thats alright, next time there is a group get together, there will be plenty of chances to get pictures of Moi! And if tempted with the right pockey and or ramune I also do Yaoi poses! ^.^

superjaz · « **Reply #167 on:** April 24, 2006, 05:47:47 pm »

@ leashy,
thanks for posting the album i had wanted to barrow my moms digital but wasn't able to, and i had told my friends in japan i'd take a pic of my boyfriend at the festivel and you got one of him in the kendo pictures! yay kendo boyfriend!
hes the blonde in the far right with the sunglasses in pic 45
and i'm the one in pic 28 looking like i was gonna cry but i was just asking where i could drop off the stuff for the katamari ball and squinting from the sun, too bad you didnt get one in my sakaki cosplay, for those who didn't reconize me i was in the pink top and brown skirt
i liked the kendo demonstration, especaly the sisters who fought they were so cute, chibi kendo!
@Vondan, i do happen to know there was one nerdy aunt there, as i met her at easter, a distane relative of my boyfriends cousin, i met her nieces and told them about it and she brought them, my boyfriend said i couldn't tell she was nerdy just because she went to k-con, lots of peope bring there kids, but as she actualy registerd and watched the cosplay skits, where most parents just bring there kids and watch tv, she also make her nieces outfits

I know, I was disappointed that I didn't get a picture of you in your cosplay or a picture of the kendo demonstration on stage, I was kinda tuckered out by that point. I do have another picture of you and your boyfriend looking like off to the side or something, I will send it when I get home, it's nothing special though, I tried to be discrete when I took my picture but I realize now that I should have asked more people to pose haha. Anyway, right. I'm glad that I got a picture of your friend and that everyone is enjoying the pictures

Xaam · « **Reply #170 on:** April 24, 2006, 07:32:12 pm »

The Hello Kitty glompage was priceless but it was indoors, and Daxe had our camera at the time. We went around taking picture with the disposable camera we had with us...we took a lot of pictures of the karate and kendo and taiko drummers, maybe we could find a way to post those as well? You'll have to ask Daxe, he's the man with the plan. And anyways, its his camera. Alls I know, we pretty much captured the demonstrations on stage.

It was so fun meeting all of you people, but I tended to meet most of you from a distance....Gah! I need to get over my shyness. :?

@ Leashy

I'll totally be at the May meeting! I can't wait to see the site where it'll all go down.

@Vondan

I've always wondered....why the aunt fetish? Will a cousin who is about your age still work? Trust me, she is very nerdy. More of the Star Trek and books type nerdy, but definantly someone I could picture going to K-con.

And I also have a moderately hot, somewhat mentally stable, very available freind of the family who would looove to come and meet you I'm sure.

Aunts are the most obvious relation my age the kids on the forum would have. With work I never get out to meet any single Nerdetts my age. The women who seem interested, I’m not interested in. Friends always want to fix me up with some ones cousin who is/was a party girl. A women keeps comming into my shop every other week, my friend Nanny G suspects she is breaking stuff on purpose to meet me but she is a single mom. I get mildly retarded girls asking me to ask them out and a crazy neighbor girl was following me all over asking if I had a GF or a wife cause she came to America to find a husband (I first noticed her talking to street signs). My favorite nerdy girl on the bus I saw buying a pack of cigarettes. My favorite Goth-nerdy sandwich girl got drunk and got a tattoo. I get “Dancers” offering me “Favors” as payment for repairs (I must be gay I took the cash).

The one time there was a woman over 30 at the anime club, I was talking to her after outside the comic store when I asked what she did she said she worked in a library and then looked into my eyes and said “You could call me a libraian”. I was about to ask her to marry me or to get ice cream at DQ 50 feet away, another kid from anime club walks up and wont stop talking about his D&D character and just would not stop and she left and never came back to the club meetings.

Star Trek nerdish is good I have patterns for Lt Ohura's outfit, I wish they had a Trek Con or any other Sci Fi con in town more then once every 10 years. And when I recently moved I had 30 boxes of books.

Hot does not mater to much to me, most of the ladies I think are adorable I point them out to friends and they call dogs even Nanny G makes fun of them (she is the one who would slug me in the tummy if I look at college age girls). Mentally stable is really good, I was married once but she had “Problems” before I meet her and even though with my support seemed to get over it she still had issues with handling stress and honesty so no more ladies with “Problems” or who even look under weight.

They can both come to my booth at K Con, I’ll be dressed as Pops Racer or Captain Avatar

lol, unfortuanately the camera I was using was half used by something else, not sure what. Ill get them developed eventually and post some pics but they are mostly pics of the first taiko drummers and the first karate group. T.T

And sure I was wanted to go check out the site, first hand. I'll plan to be there. I'll bring Xaam with me too.

Gee, thanks Neko.

As much as I love sharing Pocky with people, I don't really want people coming up and demanding to be fed. There were a couple people like that at a the end of the last convention.

>.>
people on the forums....
<.<

Pocky Club is about spreading the joy of our fandom and world peace through pocky and cosply. Not stuffing your lazy face, meanies! :evil:

Not that anybody I've seen recently has been a problem! Hee hee!

I wonder if I'll be able to get any green tea pocky for the next meeting....

Xaam · « **Reply #178 on:** April 25, 2006, 01:35:32 pm »

Green tea is my fave! I recently aquired some which I am altogether far too selfish to share. Greedy when it comes to green tea pocky! But maybe I could show up and eat it in front of ya'll. :mrgreen:

leashy · « **Reply #179 on:** April 25, 2006, 06:28:26 pm »

I tried the green tea pocky samples at the Sakura Festival and I dunno it seems to be an aquired taste. I mean I like green tea and green tea ice cream and all but I wasn't a huge fan of the pocky..hmmm.

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #180 on:** April 25, 2006, 06:38:01 pm »

Sorry Tom. TT_TT

I'll bring some Pocky Too, Just Strawberry and REgular CHcolate... Maybe I'll get some Yan Yan and Hello Panda to mix it up.

I'm soooooo sorry about that stick of Green Tea pocky Tom. D: I did't mean to break it. It was... impluse?

I heard the Sakura festival was a huge success, with 31 people and many in costume, and I'm sad that I wasn't able to go.

It would have been an uphill battle for me to try to go, though. My car died a few days before the festival, AND my only passenger/carpooler cancelled, AND I found out that mom and sister's choir was having their annual potluck that weekend, which I would have missed (their choir is like family, I've known them so long). I concluded that I was not fated to go to Portland that weekend. >_<;

I'll definitely be sure to go next year, now that I've heard people coming back with such great reviews. Thanks, all of you who stuck your heads out and even did cosplay amidst non-otaku strangers for the sake of the con.

It was morning. I looked in the cupboard where the Pocky from the Festival was kept. I looked inside to see the box of almond Pocky sitting there. But.. the green tea Pocky was missing. *sobs* Someone must have eaten it! It was a brand new unopened box. And when I find out who stole it... there will be carnage.

OMG this is sooo late but XD I went to the Sakura festival and saw the Edward Elrics. I recognized them but knew they wouldn't know me. I was stalking them alittle, though they didn't notice. I wanted to take pictures and dress up, too, but my inuyasha costume fell to pieces soon after the last Kumoricon. Since this is the first year I ever knew about the Sakura Festival I'm definitely planning on going dressed up next year! XD
