I dont think it would be on the map would it, i think the peeps selling were part of te store or somthing cuz they didnt have a booth but a stand near the entrance

if they do have it remeber to get vannila first as it has been know to sell out

Shadow · « **Reply #104 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:37:33 pm »

There is still hope!

Ok, got everything figured out. ^^ My friends and I will be there around 12:30/1-ish

laurifer · « **Reply #105 on:** April 18, 2008, 07:46:11 pm »

We will be there 11:30-noon ish!

Manganix78 · « **Reply #106 on:** April 18, 2008, 08:34:25 pm »

I'll be there before the festival even opens!(around 9:45 or somewhere close to that.....)

Syd-chan · « **Reply #107 on:** April 18, 2008, 09:13:22 pm »

I'll try to be there around 9 or 10!!! Awww, I can't wait. It's the debut of the first cosplay I ever made! And WITHOUT a sewing machine....T.T My fingers hurt SO bad. But it's worth it! XD So, I'll definetly see some people there. I'll probably be hanging out around the KumoriCon booth. Look for Sakura, ne?

Shadow · « **Reply #108 on:** April 18, 2008, 09:17:54 pm »

Meep I'm excited too! >w< If you see me come over and say hi! Look for the fluffy vest and goggles, can't miss me. ^^b

Syd-chan · « **Reply #109 on:** April 18, 2008, 09:50:13 pm »

laurifer · « **Reply #111 on:** April 18, 2008, 11:26:42 pm »

With a stroke of luck, I has finished my outfit of awesomeness! It's not a cosplay...but it's still cool! Shoot, if I had a blond wig I could be sexy no jutsu Mello :3

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #112 on:** April 18, 2008, 11:59:51 pm »

i'll be around noonish as well, i'll be in a fox hoodie and wearing a laughing man messenger bag =P

Hazuza · « **Reply #113 on:** April 19, 2008, 01:23:26 am »

I'll try to be there around noon with my hisoka cosplay =3 *scrounged it up, after all*

I was actually looking into this same subject a while ago. They say that it's REALLY dangerous! So, what I did was go to Sally's Beauty Supply and get some of Claudia Stevens' Hair Highlighter. http://www.amiyuy.com/truecolors/cosplay/images/Sakura/hairhilighters.jpg I don't know how well it will work for certain colors, since it's not amazing for me. [I got pink. ugh.] I'm pretty sure it was under $10, to be safe. But, I guess it worked REALLY well for this one girl. Remember that eyebrows are always dark than the hair color!

Higuma · « **Reply #115 on:** April 19, 2008, 07:48:21 am »

I will be there early like 9ish my girl will be in haruhi outfits and my son will be in a blue chinese outfit. No cosplay for me as mine is not ready, I will just sport my domo-kun beanie

sekitan bun · « **Reply #116 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:36:14 am »

I'm probably going to be there around 10 to 12 ish?
Anyway, I don't think I'll cosplay, I have my D.Grey-Man cosplay but it's pleather and get's hot really fast, well it is gonna be cold I guess, and I don't have my Axel cosplay done. (I could wear my bunny stuff though)

laurifer · « **Reply #117 on:** April 19, 2008, 10:15:51 am »

Uwaahhh stupid makeup stuff not working

VampireFangs103 · « **Reply #118 on:** April 19, 2008, 10:18:53 am »

I'll be there around noon as well. I won't be cosplaying as any specific character. Just wearing my normal extremely goth clothing. lol. You'll see me with the small red and black wings. ^^ Big clunky boots as well.

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #119 on:** April 19, 2008, 04:55:54 pm »

That was so fun! If anyone saw me, I was the Kakashi.

I was with Syd-chan most of the time. It was aweesoommeeee!

Manganix78 · « **Reply #120 on:** April 19, 2008, 05:02:53 pm »

I was there at around 10:00 in the morning, in my L Lawliet cosplay(but no black eyeliner, long pair of handcuffs, or pale skin

). I mainly took around 31 pictures while looking at some of the booths, I also got pre-registered for this year's Kumoricon, but they couldn't print out any badges because the guy who does that got into a traffic accident, so yeah that angered me quite a bit, because I have to wait for a long while for my badge to come in the mail....

But, still after that I enjoyed some of the vanilla custard filled taiyaki, met some of my friends from the forum and ate lunch and went shopping in Uwajimaya, so it wasn't so bad.

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #121 on:** April 19, 2008, 05:25:39 pm »

Did I see you? Were you one of the L's that got a picture together at the beginning? If so, then SWEET.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #122 on:** April 19, 2008, 05:27:37 pm »

Ne, that was AWESOME. I am so tired, though....X.X I had so many pictures taken. Oh, and I got a picture of Totemo and Laurifer!! XD

Heheh, hey, it was too fun to not! And I STILL want some of that candy bar. XD

I was the Misa hanging around another L; we got there around 2:30 pm~

It was fun, and I bought (along with Keru, my L) lots of bread and candy.
I tried Choco Pan, omnomnom. <3

So that was you! I saw you, was uber-impressed with your boots and outfit. I wasn't dressed as anything, just me with goggles on my head. But yeah, your boots rocked. *thumbs up*

I had fun! Wish it would have been better weather though. My wig/goggles really started to give me a bad headache too. >< It was still cool to see everyone again! Hopefully Uwajimaya's anniversary festival in May will be in better weather!

That I was~ ^^

Kind of wish that the weather was more like last weekend. :[
(And if my parents are willing to take me to the anniversary festival...Misa will *hopefully* be done. The real version. >w< Today was another closet cosplay)

Hazuza · « **Reply #129 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:10:32 pm »

I'm still amazed that it snowed o_o

Not because of the whole 'late winter' thing, but more like WHY THIS WEEKEND??? DDD:

But it still was fun xDD

Some people from the forums recognized me, but I didn't recognize them, so I was screaming about stalkers at them xDDD
I can't recognize a lot of people out of cosplay for the first time :'D

Hi Misa!!! =D It was so nice meeting you and L. You two were so sweet!
My god, that was a closet cosplay? oO It looked great!! Can't wait to see the real thing!

I thought it was just hail.. did it really snow?? O.O

Rathany · « **Reply #131 on:** April 19, 2008, 10:53:40 pm »

It was soooo cold. I was there for about 20 minutes before I ran away.

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #132 on:** April 19, 2008, 11:13:30 pm »

it was sunny, it was rainy, it was sunny, it was hailing, then it snowed, then the sun came out and then it rained again, then the sun was out then it rained and it sleeted and it was windy the whole time... w t f.... -.- weather epic failed today... and i sat through all of it in my cosplay while freezing and have come to the realization that indeed i am anemic and need more iron so i dont feel so cold all the time....

Higuma · « **Reply #133 on:** April 20, 2008, 12:22:43 am »

I had alot of fun today and can finally feel my toes again. The taiyaki was so good i wish i could make it at home.

Sounds like some liked it, and some didn't then. I almost got some train tickets to go down there from Seattle, but I looked at the Beaverton forecast and decided not to go. The weather changes up here pretty randomly, too, but I didn't want to take a CHANCE at being rained on while paying some $60 (roundtrip ticket) for some delicious taiyaki.

I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted, seeing as how my camera was running out of battery.
That, and my hands were pretty much frozen from the cold. Hahaha

It was nice meeting a couple of you!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #139 on:** April 20, 2008, 01:01:23 pm »

The wait for the taiyaki was worth it though~

dakiro · « **Reply #141 on:** April 20, 2008, 01:28:26 pm »

yes it was =D~ i was also in line just in time to get one of the last vanilla custards woo. its so true that it tastes so good when your cold. was almost shivering all over and had numb fingers so i could barely pay for them xD but it was worth it =DD~

Desu-the-sinner · « **Reply #142 on:** April 20, 2008, 04:45:49 pm »

Hey leashy I saw you there. Well I pay to get in Kumoricon, Yeshh! It was fun intill it rain. When I was running to my friend car to go home the band that was playing played Naruto as me and my friends ran. It was so perfect!

Yeahhhh. I had to wait in line for over an hour! My fingers were numb until I had the brilliant idea to cover them with my hair so they were not anymore (although they were still super cold) and I was moving around a little to keep myself from freezing. If I had known I would have to wait that long, I probably would've worn an extra layer of clothing (in addition to the few that I was already wearing). Might've worn gloves as well.

melchizedek · « **Reply #144 on:** April 21, 2008, 01:35:58 pm »

Me, I didn't cosplay, I fired up my bike and took it for a spin to the festival. So I had jeans and leathers. However when it started snowing I wasn't excited, two wheels + ice + freeway = not good.

Special thanks to steve for standing in line and getting me taiyaki.

VampireFangs103 · « **Reply #145 on:** April 21, 2008, 02:08:35 pm »

I had a great time. ^^ It was really fun, though I was freeeeeeeeezing in my skimpy little outfit. ^^' I had a great time hanging with Hazuza and Cassiopeia. And thanks for the compliment on the boots. ^^ lol

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #146 on:** April 21, 2008, 09:28:27 pm »

So I was there. But DAMN, they've gotta do something about that taiyaki line. There's no reason someone should be in line 45 minutes for a waffle! They *know* the custard ones sell better than the red bean ones, so why do they make LESS of them?

Shadow · « **Reply #147 on:** April 21, 2008, 09:31:55 pm »

My friend wanted to try the taiyaki, but after waiting in line for 12 minutes we just said screw it. I felt bad because she really wanted one. ;-; It was just too cold. What can't they do something to speed up the process?

There were these two elderly women in front of use (who were really nice!) who waited as long as we did for the taiyaki (30+ minutes) and they were REALLY close to ordering (like, right in front of the stand underneath the little booth cover thing) but for some reason they just left...it made us really sad since they were so close yet they walked away and waited for nothing

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #149 on:** April 21, 2008, 10:26:12 pm »

those are always super popular... im not suprised that they ran out of the custard ones, they did last year too. The line is often because people order alot of them (since they are reasonably priced) and since they make em the old fashion way and they are warm when you get them I really can't complain other than to say maybe they should make more of the custard ones and less of the redbean ones though those are good too!

lol good news i found shoes for the kcon girl cosplay at goodwill!!
