Con is less than three weeks away, are your costumes finished? Is there some part of it that you are stuck on or you can't think of something to use to make the certain prop? On Thursday August 14 I am going to be holding a cosplay workshop at my house from noon till whenever people have to leave. If you don't have a costume to work on you can come hang out and take pictures, there is a nice park right behind my house that we can go.

I only have one sewing machine and it is rather old and doesn't work well all the time so if you want to sew anything I would suggest that you bring your own machine. I'll have thread and very few needles. I have four hot glue guns and a bunch of glue sticks.

Also I was thinking about ordering pizza so it would be best if everyone brought a little bit of cash.

If you are interested my address is 9022 sw Waverly dr. Tigard. It is behind Tigard High School and in front of Cook Park.

So far we have:
Nikkiolie
Sayda
Saya-chan 14

Well i am going to sharpen scissors tonight maybe I'll work on a few pairs. I need mine sharp to cut the plastic.

Sayda · « **Reply #3 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:23:11 pm »

I'm in for whenever. I don't have anything I could really work on, I don't think. Maybe my wig, and my Kadaj wig.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #4 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:25:00 pm »

you could help me with Albel's wig.....maybe just trim the bangs a little. I'm sure others could use help too.

So I am going to start a list of people who want to come (so I have a number to give to my mom)

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:26:38 pm »

cool me and my sis and brandon will be comeing

Sayda · « **Reply #6 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:33:56 pm »

I could help others if they wanted me to. But I'm not good at sewing. I could help you out with your wig.
Maybe I can be the wig person.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:43:50 pm »

Alright that is fine with me. The more the better ^_^

And Sayda you would be a good wig person.

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 11, 2008, 07:58:42 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:12:32 pm »

thats fine with me. If no one answers the front door head down to the back and knock on the basement door. That is where we are going to be.

Sayda · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:13:29 pm »

Ohhh maybe I'll buy another wig and work on it for Cloud.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:14:36 pm »

that would work. I was sharping scissors for a little bit and one pair cut me just from running my finger over it so it's good ^_^

Sayda · « **Reply #12 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:22:21 pm »

I cut myself with a can of tuna earlier. Right in the bend of my finger. It bled a lot.
So. Who wants to go to WigLand with me?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:30:30 pm »

When are you going to go? Tomorrow, or now >_>

Sayda · « **Reply #14 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:42:59 pm »

Haha not right now, I think they close at 5. But tomorrow, or Wednesday. Sometime before Thursday.
WHY WANNA GO NICHOLE? O-:

nikkiolie · « **Reply #15 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:45:04 pm »

Sorry I don't think I'll be able to go. I only think I could go tonight.

Sayda · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:46:49 pm »

Yeah if it were open tonight, I'd say let's hit it, but I'm pretty sure they close around 5 or 6. Steven said he'd try and go with if it closes around 6.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #17 on:** August 11, 2008, 08:47:45 pm »

fyi Sayda Devin has a key blade you could use. Its a real metal one ^_^

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:27:20 pm »

I might come for a bit..it does sound like fun!

Sayda · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:45:13 pm »

Reallay? Sweet deal! I'll have to borrow it sometime.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:49:56 pm »

She said you can use it for the con ^_^

and CatchxMe you should come. We would love to have you and you could get some of your costumes done, if you need to.

Sayda · « **Reply #21 on:** August 11, 2008, 09:58:08 pm »

Awesome! Tell her I said thanks. And that I think she should go with me to the wig shop either tomorrow, or Wednesday.

I just ordered a Cloud cosplay off of ebay. Shame shame for buying it, but why make it when I have the money to buy expensive things?! The fact that I can't sew has nothing to do with buying my Cosplay, either.

Let me know if the Link doesn't work.

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:17:05 pm »

Sayda · « **Reply #23 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:18:32 pm »

It's right on Broadway, over by the Lloyd Center, actually. It's right across the street from Safeway. The wigs there are about 30$+, though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** August 11, 2008, 10:40:44 pm »

Yeah it will be just as much fun to watch. And maybe after we're done we can go down to the park and have a photo shoot....

Also I have a hot tube and if you would like to go in then you will need a swimsuit (I have towels)

Sayda the costume is great but keep in mind it is really hot (that is the same one Devin had)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #25 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:04:32 pm »

I hope they will let you come. It would be great to see how you do it ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #26 on:** August 11, 2008, 11:31:24 pm »

Saya-chan14 said she was bringing some. I have a really old one and it likes to stop working in the middle of sewing so my mom doesn't want it to get broken anymore than it already is so you can use hers ^_^

Okay, I know the basics of how to get to your house, but is there any way you could leave a noticeable sign-like thing out so it's easy to find?
Also could anyone be able to sew together a cover and elastic to put across a toy shield I have?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:06:06 am »

I would love to come to this and chill and be collectively constructive, heh. I can work on my cannon over there. ^_^ I'd just need a ride over. (It's close, but I can't really haul my supplies on the bus, heh). Ride anyone?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:49:23 am »

Well I'll take you. I might have to go pick up more paint (if I don't do it today) ^_^

Schweet. I'll pm you my address then. ^_^

Sayda · « **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:43:59 am »

I could take you, too Eve. Since I pass by Tualatin, but since Nichole already offered, we're good.
And yeah, I know it'll be hot. :-O I was Kadaj last Kumoricon, and I really wasn't all that hot at all.

Speaking of Kadaj, rejoice everyone! For I have at last seen the tales of the Advent Children. (Saw FF7 AC last night)

Sayda · « **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:55:10 am »

Wow that's really weird dude. I was watching AC last night for references, since the Internet fails when it comes to good shots of Cloud's costume.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #35 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:55:56 am »

I was just thinking today that I need to watch AC again. I think I just may, heh.

Soubi · « **Reply #36 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:00:39 pm »

Ah, I wish I could come.
Maybe I should get my group rounded up and working on our cosplays sometime soon.
....Or just irritate my mother until she shows me how to finish my skirt. :B

Sayda · « **Reply #37 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:02:33 pm »

Everyone's thinking the same thing. That's pretty bizarre.
As for groups, I WISH I could have spent more time with my Cosplay group. It would have made things so much easier. But they all live far away. ~ ~

Sayda · « **Reply #38 on:** August 12, 2008, 12:39:06 pm »

Saya_chan, if you read this before 6, I'm going to Wig Land today. I'm picking up Steven from his work around 4:30, and then we're heading into Portland. We're parking at Llyod Center, and then walking to Wig Land from there. So we'll be there around 5 - 5:30. After that he wanted to go to Nordstrom Rack and look around.
My guess is we'll probably have dinner somewhere in Portland, and since I know Steven well enough, it'll probably be at the Macaroni Grill. Their dinners are from 10 - 20$. But most range around 10 - 12$.
If you're interested in going, just let me know, and we can meet you either at Wig Land, or at Llyod Center!

So, I'll have something to work on this Thursday!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #39 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:17:33 pm »

I have AC and it can be on in the background while we are working. Since it seems like everyone who is going has seen it now ^_^

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #40 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:17:45 pm »

grr i cant get a ride i have money and every thing but i just dont have a ride

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:19:42 pm »

To Portland or to my house?

Sayda · « **Reply #42 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:24:32 pm »

Mmm Advent Children. That movie is pure manshine. Japanese with subtitles, right? The English dub is unbearable.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #43 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:26:47 pm »

The dub isn't that bad, and it would be very distracting to watch it in Japaneses but if that is what everyone wants. I also have outlaw star (only the second and third dvd though v.v)

Sayda · « **Reply #44 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:29:37 pm »

I downloaded it off the Internet back in Sophmore year and had it fansubbed. I watched it so many times in Japanese, and I even skipped school to buy it on DVD the day it came out. I started it with the English dub, and I almost cried. :-O
But that might be because I've watched it so many times in Japanese. The other thing that bugged me was the fact that their lips weren't in sync.
And is it me, or do English dubs take away from the personality of the character?

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:32:34 pm »

i cant get a ride to lyod today cuse my moms bissy with work

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #46 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:33:16 pm »

In the English dub's defense, I have actually heard people say "Shilly-shally". It's very obscure but they didn't just make it up like I originally thought.

However, the sub is still better.

In other news, I have a wig now! I wasn't even expecting one!
Any advice on how to untangle wigs? this thing has long hair and has gotten tangled. T_T

nikkiolie · « **Reply #47 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:35:41 pm »

spray conditioner, it works really well. That and a wide tooth comb. That is what I used for my long wig.

I like the sub better but it is hard to read and work on a costume at the same time....

nikkiolie · « **Reply #48 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:37:47 pm »

yeah she can get a ride to my house just not to wig land today

True, there's some times where I use the dub just for that reason, either the anime is way too pretty or I'm busy doing something else at the same time.

Ironically, Vallie has taken both of her wide tooth combs away. They have spray on conditioner at place like Fred Meyer right?
