Con is over! :-(

[AyaMitsukai]

Hey everyone! I am sad the con is over and now i am at home thinking about everything i did. I had a blast and i cant wait til the next con. Lol Some of you might have seen me. I was Lenne from FFx2 though some thought i was songstress Yuna with different earings and no rat tail. After a while i gave up on correcting people. Anyway i am really sad though cuz i made some friends at the con and i didnt have time to get thier e-mail addresses or numbers or something. Like my new squall friend who i made dance even though he didnt want to. That was funny. I wanted to get his e-mail or something buuut i had to leave too early today(last day) and i didnt get a chance to see him. :-( Anyway that was my first con and since i had so much fun i am gonna defently go to sakura con because my friend says it was just as fun! So i am still around you guys can e-mail me at Kagomexmiko@comcast.net to talk, or IM me on AIM at LotisNoTeishu. I also have other services like yahoo and MSN if you wanna talk just let me know ^_^ Anyway i hope everyone else had fun too! YAY KUMORICON!

a.k.a. Lenne

[Sarutobi_Asuma]

sea you at sakuracon!!!

i will be Reeve from the Turks;)

[AyaMitsukai]

YAY! I LOVE THE TURKS! I will be Lenne again along with a member of the Prince Yuki Fan club and Saki Hanajima (one or the other, maybe both)

[Kikyo_of_Oregon]

Heheh...Guess what. That's my best friend. He also thought you were Yuna...he's all like, "I can't believe Yuna made me dance..." Heheh...Alright. I am going to add you to MSN and then I'll intro you to him.

[YariChuu]

At SakuraCon I will be Mya Fharzhide again, except I will be BOTH versions (young and old) and I will also be a demon brother from Naruto o.o

[omniwarrior]

Yeah I am going but I am not sure as what yet.

1. I may redo the costume part of my cloud outfit (probably from Advent Children) But I will still have my light-up buster sword!!

2. I may cross-play but I don't know which character

3. I will come up with something totally different but I will still use my electronics in its making!!!

4. I may open a booth to sell Naruto kunai and other cool anime inspired weapons!! (probably be wearing one of the above mentioned costumes during)

>^^< this was my first convention! It was fun and cool to see all the people in costume! >_ _< But i only got to stay a little while. It also probably would've been more fun if i didn't have my parents there.

[zenix]

everyone did such a great job wonderful staff and volinters (yes i know i spelled that wrong)

[Kai-JusenkyoVictimBotan]

Cloud, no offense, but work on the hair, ne? My friends and I refered to
you as prehistoric cloud, because it was completely frizzed out lol Good
job on the buster sword though.

[Aurora]

Too bad the con is over......but I had a lot of fun and I'm definitly will be going to SakuraCon, but I don't know what to wear yet though......

[omniwarrior]

Yeah if I do cloud again I am going to refine my costume some. like a fabric shoulder guard so the hugs are not as dangerous... LOL

[Nikker]

Yeah if I do cloud again I am going to refine my costume some. like a fabric shoulder guard so the hugs are not as dangerous... LOL

Or try getting a plastic shoulder guard.

I suggest you try to get some sort of spiked (instead of just ..fuzzy?) wig, also.  That would be cool.

[Yumi-chan]

:cry: I did not hear about this con in time....Just heard today because someone saw the article in the Oregonian........I wish I had as I would have loved to be there.  I am thinking of going as Yumi from Marimite.  Anyone have any thoughts?  Next year I already know where I will be

[Irnogs]

:cry: I did not hear about this con in time....Just heard today because someone saw the article in the Oregonian........I wish I had as I would have loved to be there.

You should get Newtype heh. That's how I found out about it (I NEVER miss an issue), they've had it listed since the May issue. They seem to maintain a pretty comprehensive list of upcoming events.

[Zhalfirin]

That's too bad you missed the con    I get all my info from cosplay.com, they are good for info on anything regarding...well...cosplay ^_^ I'm gonna try to go to sakura con but I live with my friend's dad right now so I can go to school in Oregon and he isn't really a lienient guy. Bah, I'm so sad Kumori is over, after sunday I got sad cause I knew I would always remember that day. I did infact miss a few e-mail myself though so if anyone remembers the t-shirt ninja with cat ears, also known as Lonely Bishie Cat-Boy Ninja or the Sign Ninja, please send me a message =) Hopefully I'll see ya all at Sakura ^_^.

[Radien]

Am I the only one who thought Cloud's wig was perfect...? Assuming this is the Cloud with the light-up materia...

Well, I guess it could be made to look a little more spikey, but you have to work with what you've got (meaning, physics ). I think the wig itself is perfect. All you need to do, OmniWarrior, is put it on one of those styrofoam heads, or something, and then use hair glue to mold it into the shape it's supposed to be. If you use the new Cloud image as a model, it'll look great! (although it's hard to visualize how you'd copy something that random...)

As staff, I'm still at the hotel for tonight, but I had a great time and will be posting a lot this week for feedback, for information, and for fun. ^_^

[Kikyo_of_Oregon]

Yeah if I do cloud again I am going to refine my costume some. like a fabric shoulder guard so the hugs are not as dangerous... LOL

Lol...yes, your shoulder guard cut Zidane...how sad...-tear- but the wig was awesome. Very awesome.

I was Sora at the con, and I'm already started research on a new costume and such stuff.  XD I'm going to make the Metal Chocobo!  Most likely out of wood.  And I thought my keyblade this year was heavy.  

I was also pulled into the J-Rock thing.  So yeah.

The frizzy hair Cloud rocks.  Yes.  :D

[Takmai]

Wow.  I wasn't logged in there for some reason...

Hey! omniwarrior, your sword was heavy. T-T If i had to carry it all day I'd die. lol That's why I just had the REALLY thin sword. XD I'm surprised it didn't snap in half when we took the Auron vs. Cloud pic. XD I'm short, yes I am. XD I felt tiny. lol Poor mini Auron against a tall strong Cloud. lol *jealous* I want to be tall. ^_^

Since I haven't gotten the confirmation e-mail for my account yet, I'm stuck as a guest right now, but when I log in, my username will be  MetalShurikenSasuke  so you'll know who that is when I come back. :3 I'm going as Sasuke to Sakura Con too, and for all of you who have the Naruto Official Art book, I MAY be going as the rock 'n' roll version of Sasuke, with my cousin as Naruto, and POSSIBLY Collie as Sakura, since she did say she wanted to make Sakura's rock 'n' roll outfit. And I know for a fact that she'd look very kawaii in it. XD Oh, and I really hope that Joe (From Bakazoku) can be our Kakashi, he'd be a REALLY good Kakashi. :3 He was my goal to pass as Sasuke. XD And I don't think I did... Oh, and I think I'll stop typing before this turns into an EXTREMELY long post about...... NOTHING! XD

If you want to IM me, I am  ScarletKanji  on aim,  Touya4Ever@msn.com  for e-mail and MSN messenger, and  rikku20032007  on Yahoo instant messenger. ^_^

[AElfthone]

We all had a lot of fun.

Seven of us drove up from California (700 miles EACH direction), and I must say, it was well worth it.

I'm definately looking forward to next year.

4. I may open a booth to sell Naruto kunai and other cool anime inspired weapons!! (probably be wearing one of the above mentioned costumes during)

If you do, make sure to clear them with the con first.  I saw a guy who was selling really nice wooden kunai out of a shoulder bag for cheap, get dragged off by con security and his wares confiscated because he didn't have them *all* peacebonded first and because the tips were "too pointy" and therefore dangerous...

...yeesh, peacebonding has become my biggest con pet peeve.  It's like airport security or something.  Pointy wooden things are no longer allowed?  Are they gonna start banning Cloud cosplayers with accurate wigs because they might put out the eye of a glomper?  Or not let attendees bring plastic forks or knives into the con area to eat their lunches?  That moment was the only time I felt like lodging a complaint about the otherwise good con security.

...next year maybe I'll bring papier mache kunai and see if they force me to peacebond that...  O.o*

That's riddiculous... *rolls eyes* I guess I'll have to be careful when i get all those metal Kunai to give to the people who begged my dad... O_O So many to peace bond... Of course, the metal ones really ARE dangerous... ^^; Wooden ones can't pierce flesh as easily, to matter how sharp the wood may be... Metal, if enough force is put behind it, can pierce flesh, which is scary, of course, people can also bludgeon others with them... O_O Which is something I didn't think of until now, actually... ^^; I wont hit anyone, I swear!

I'd complain about that too... It's pretty annoying... But I guess since terrorism is something America's dealing with, they're not letting themselves be lenient about that... But I don't think any otakus will stab another otaku... Or another guest at the hotel. I mean jeez. Otaku may be extremely hyper and overly obsessive sometimes, doesn't mean that if their character is a killer, that they'll kill someone.

I'd pay to see that... I think... I wouldn't want you dragged outta the con for that... O_O It'd be pretty friggin stupid if that happened. I mean COME ON! Paper can't kill anyone. It'd be like "I GOT A PAPERCUT! NOW I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!" -_-;

 So is your dad gonna take orders for those? Your Kunai were so awesome I would love to order two of the them if he does.

[KevinMcKeever]

Hey all!

I was there on Saturday. I was wearing a dark  suit with a red tie and ran both Robotech panels. (You were probaly asking your friend whos the corporate guy)  

 I must say that I had a great time at Kumoricon and look forward to 2005! I also enojyed meeting Peter Verry (Programing) and Sean Larson (Con-Chair) and want to thank them here for all the effort they put into the conventions and the panels.

See you all next year!

Two huh... Hmm... He's making... 7 so far... Lemme ask. ^_^

Ok. He said he'd make them before Sakura Con, so if you're going, they will be $20 each. Which is pretty damn cheap. Considering people'd prolly buy them for $100 each. XD Thank GOD they're not 100 each. Anyhow, I'll probably be carrying around a bag of them, so if you see me at Sakura con you can get them there. ^_^

OH! And I HAVE to mention... :3

WARNING!  These kunai are strictly for cosplay props only, they are not to be thrown. Doing so with too much force will cause them to come apart, for the welds are ground down to make it look neat. They are also not able to be repaired by my father, for he has too much work to do at the moment to repair every broken one, so I must ask you not to throw them.

That was very strange to write. XD

[Tibby]

Hi! I was cosplayed as Tibby (a.k.a the girl in the short green dress with the fluff white ness) I had so much fun at the con and met a bunch of people! I can't wait to see you all at the SakuraCon! And message to Cloud, I loved your sword! But you need i agree you need to make the costume more huggable. Oh yea....did anyone get the aim/email/anything of Wolfwood/zach?

[Kei-Kei]

I will be going to Sakuracon and I will be wearing my Naraku costume. I'm making a new mask though. The one I have now kinda...died. I'm also going as a choice of characters from Gundam Seed, Haibane Renmei, Ranma 1/2 and my friend's new obsession Kodomo no Omocha. Although I find that I'm more excited for Kumoricon 2005 then Sakuracon. The atmosphere at this Kumoricon was amazing.

[tarock]

 it is over

It was hella fun.
cheers to the people to planned it and helped make it possible.  to the staff and volunteers

I had a blast.  this was my fisrt con and will not be my last.  So many memories.  next time I will be in a love puddle.  no matter hwat.  Ill dog pile if i have too.

I was honestly suprised at some of the things I saw peacebonded at the con.  Patient male friends attempted to explain that it was the intent of the item in the show cosplayed... but honestly, how is a giant cross actually gonna injure someone?  Unless you're find the secret Street Fight Club room??!  :P  

Was security really harassing kids with plastic knives??

[Zhalfirin]

Man....really makes ya wonder how that guy selling all the real weaponry and swords got in there eh? I'm more than a little confused seeing as they were right next to the kunai guy, and they even had ACTUAL kunai...heh, guess it's because they boxed their goods ^_-

[DannyCat]

I mean COME ON! Paper can't kill anyone. It'd be like "I GOT A PAPERCUT! NOW I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!" -_-;

~MetalShurikenSasuke~

What, you've not seen Read or Die?  :wink:

[SailorNaboo]

Peace Bonding does seem kind of strange.  Especially when you see a peace bonded Harry Potter wand.  It's honestly not about terrorism or security being overzealous, do you know what it's about?

It's really to stop people from taking their non-dangerous props and then deciding to play "Jedi Knight" in the middle of a crowded hallway-- even if they are using Sailor Moon's Wand and a cardboard sword.  Sounds harmless, silly and fun, but that kind of thing takes up a lot of room!  The peace bond is kind of a reminder (like tying a string around your finger so you don't forget something) to remind you that even if what you are carrying around isn't dangerous, if you start playing with it and swinging it around, you are going to take up a lot of room.

The "put an eye out with that thing" part is really secondary.  Those people are less likely to play with their weapons.

[Shiv]

Hey, this is Wolfwood/Matt (Black suit, off-white cross wrappings w/ black electrical tape as the binding). You know, I really wasn't bothered by having my cross punisher peace bonded. I see it as a perfectly reasonable way of allowing us to have props that might possibly be considered mildly hazardous or obstructive. I mean, what's the alternative? We could fill out a gigantic waiver or they could just confiscate them and not allow us to  have our props at all. Eh, maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I had a lot of fun despite the fact that I was somewhat sick during half the con. Met a lot of great people and I hope to meet many of you again at SakuraCon (assuming I can gather the cash and time for it)! Hopefully I'll remember to get enough sleep/food next time. If anyone needs to contact me for any reason you're welcome to private message me to request contact info.

[omniwarrior]

Yes I was cloud with the light up materia buster sword. I also was selling wooden kunai. I sold about 25 of them for $5 each. I like crafting wooden trinkets and weaponry. I think they are much safer than metal ones in a crowded area. I like my wig the way it is although i would like to find some bright yellow/blonde hairspray and spike it better. Since I am always learning something new I will learn some skills in sewing when I redo the armor stuffs. I will be at sakura con so you can ask me about any weapons and such for me to make and I can deliver them there. I already have 2 buster swords ordered and one sephiroth sword. Within a few days I will add a Kumoricon 2004 section to my website.

Oh and I was rooming with the security guy who pulled me away. It is understandable about these things and he was glad that I was so cool with it. Everything was fine about them. In fact I asked some really nice artist girls to sell my stuff for me since the Odins monsters/weapon dealer guy did not even look at them. I made them for him to sell and I got stuck with them, what a jerk. Oh well I hope I get enough ideas and such that I can do some mega damage to his profits when sakuracon and kumoricon come again.

Well anyways thanks for the support guys and I can't wait for the next con. I hope that labor day weekend is always the norm. A 3 day party ROCKS!!!!

wow! that's a tremendous compliment! thank you!
i was too busy running fanfic programming to check out anything else (except for a couple minutes of cosplay and a couple minutes of antonia levi). i'd love to hear about your con. perhaps you could start a thread, in the make your own adventure section, about it?

[PvtChipsDubbo]

Hey Kumoricon fans,

Well, I hope someone other than me shows some appreciation for Kumoricon 2006, though that may appear to be a bit TOO enthusiastic...

[BlackjackGabbiani]

sea you at sakuracon!!!

i will be Reeve from the Turks;)

Reeve isn't a Turk, yo. He's an executive.

Anyway, I think next year I may bring back my Oikawa costume (esp. since I got a great cosplay idea thanks to Rem), and probably my Kefka costume. I want to get a Pokémon costume in there as well, maybe I can be Sabrina or someone.

[AElfthone]

Hey Kumoricon fans,

OMG OMG OMG! What about KumoriCon 2007!!!?

I am really excited about that!

[Nightblayde]

KurmoriCon was my first Con and now I am addicted. As good as closing cerimonies was I was sad to leave. I am gonna go as Inu Yasha at SakuraCon and am totally stoked about next years KumoriCon!
