I was thinking about the impending awesome of KCon and I started to wonder if I'd be able to do all that I wanted to. In my fratic state I ended up making a list of all the events that cater to my fangirl heart and it ended up looking like this:

Contests
Anime Jeopardy
The Bucket
Cosplay Chess

Panels
Anime Dating Game
Yaoi/Yuri PJ Party
Ouran High School Host Club Tea Party
Forum Meet Up Panel
Pocky Club

Photo Shoots
Death Note
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Off Con Stuff
Cosplay on Ice
Voodoo Donuts Escapades

Random Stuff
Pool Party
Rave
Wandering around Exhibitors Hall/Artist Alley
Private Photo Shoots
Video Game Pwnage
AMV Contest
The Slants
Guests
Running around with my SOS brigade

And the sad part is that I probably forgot a ton of things. ^_^, So how is everyone fairing against the onslaught of things to do at KCon? What activities are you all looking forward to the most?

I'm waiting for a schedule to hopefully come out so I know how I can fit everything in. but yeah I do have quite a few events I want to do.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:14:07 am »

Well, I honestly don't know much of what to expect. Once I get the schedule then I will fret over what I am going to have to miss or sacrifice for something else and yadda yadda. heh

Of what I know, though, I am really looking forward to:
- The Final Fantasy Photo Shoot
- The Forum Meet-Up Panel
- The RPG Photo Shoot
- The Anime Hunters Panel (I'm pretty sure they are doing on again.)

Yeah, I'm forgetting a lot, I know, but that's okay, heh. The schedule will help me.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:15:33 am »

I know there is so much to do. But I want to spend most of my time walking the halls getting pictures and getting my picture taken ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #4 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:16:48 am »

^ Totally. That is actually one of my top three aspects of Kumoricon. I work hard on my cosplays and just walking around in them is the best way to "show them off", so to speak, heh. I interact more in the hallways and general conspace than in any panels or real events, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #5 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:24:12 am »

All my friends are always complaining that they want to do something and I am like "we are doing something, were look at the costumes"

And I love to show off all my hard work

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #6 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:26:34 am »

Every year I feel like I never get enough pictures, so this year I will fill my memory card or die trying, lol. I've got 2gb of space to fill, so I need to be snapping shots like a madman. I never get more than 40 even though I see thousands of things and costumes and people that I am amazed by. That must change this year.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:29:48 am »

I am going to try to get close to filling my card each day then when I get home load them on to my computer and delete them off the card for the next day

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #8 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:33:24 am »

Oooh that's a good plan. I challenge you! Let's see who can get the most photos (that count, lol). You with your plan, or me with my one 2gb memory card. This could be a fun little game, heh (and the only way for me to combat the person who totally is kicking my butt at post counts on here haha).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:40:21 am »

Well it isn't exactly fair now is it. My card holds 256 mb so in three days I wont be able to get enough pictures to even match your 2 gb. I may just have to use my parents 1 gb XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #10 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:41:35 am »

Ooooh, well yeah, that's not quite a fair contest then, lol.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:44:23 am »

I know right? Maybe I could try to find a 2 gb and not upload them on to my computer?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #12 on:** August 13, 2008, 12:51:47 am »

Well, if you wanted to go through the trouble, but it's no big deal. I am so slow you would probably still beat me with your 256mb/day, lol.

Wanganator · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:09:17 am »

You serious? Voodoo Donuts escapade? That's gonna be late night! I'll be down! :XD: I haven't been in portland in over a year but I do remember going to Voodoo donuts on my last weekend there and it's amazing! bacon maple bars mmmmmm

Thanks for the reminder about pools and stuff for me to bring my swimsuit and stuff

I bought my digital camera right before Kumoricon last year, because only having a disposable camera the year before SUCKED. I had a 2gb card and took close to 300 pics, and didn't even fill it up.

This year I have a nearly empty 4gb card.

I may take like, a thousand photos.

But yeah, the seeing and showing off of cosplay is my favorite aspect of Kumoricon, panels & events be damned.

It will be nice when we get the events schedule though. ^^;

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #15 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:32:28 am »

Yeah, the schedule will be nice, but I am not depending on it, not yet anyway heh.

Oh, and I am really hoping the Hall Cosplay Contest will be going on again. That made strutting around the halls even more fun, hehe.

GaaraoftheFunk · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:33:09 am »

I'd plan out what to do, But everytime i do that i fail miserably. XD
I end up doing whatever spur of the moment at the con.

And i may bring my camera, But i use it for more personal use. Pictures with friends and such.
I'm much too shy to ask someone for a picture. xD
I was too shy to even get a hug from a sasuke cosplayer last year, My boyfriend had to chase them down and tell them i wanted a hug for me. v.v

Ohh, don't be! I think most cosplayers are more than happy to have you snap their pics! The first year I went I was like that though. Too shy to talk to almost anyone.

Last year I was just like, "You, I like you, pic now please?"
Only like one person was like, "...nooo...."
and that's okay.

Although being a bit shy is good too. Glomping without consent? Can be scary. D:

I pretty much seem to do things at the spur of the moment too. I'm mostly looking forward to the schedule because a couple of my co-workers want to attend for one day, and I want to let them know which will be the best day to go. I'm thinking the second day, but someone told me the first is probably better. I dunno...

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2008, 03:32:23 am »

Cosplay chess will be epic! I'll be submitting my forms within the week.

And yay I found my camera! It only takes pictures while plugged into the wall though. Maybe I need new batteries?

I am really looking forward to k-con this year. Being staff I know there are times when I will be needed to help do stuff for the con, however I have a new and pretty elaborate costume for this year and I am really looking forward to having my photo taken with my cosplay group. If you see me PLEASE take my picture. I always get sad when I walk around and no omne wants a photo <3

I am also looking forward to amv contest, cosplay contest, dressing crazy for the dances, and wow so many other things

Leashy, I will so be taking a photo of you when I see you!! X33 I always love running into you! Do you know if Rin Rin will be there this year?

There's so much awesome stuff that's going to be there! Though I don't usually go to panels, I mainly just wander around the halls/dealer's room. XD

oslapedo · « **Reply #30 on:** August 16, 2008, 06:28:43 pm »

I'll be on the lookout for Tohru and Zelda! ^_^

One of my friends just wants to wander aimlessly around, so we may end up doing that for a while

Jarnan · « **Reply #31 on:** August 16, 2008, 10:15:49 pm »

Did SAS at Sakuracon (yojimbo) this last year, and wandering around was one of the best things to do. Its fun to see all the folks and the work they do, get admired, get pictures, and meet new and old friends again.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #32 on:** August 17, 2008, 04:22:40 am »

^ Exactly. That's the best non-event part of Kumoricon. Just the whole vibe of the con, the love! ^_^

Teuvan · « **Reply #39 on:** August 18, 2008, 11:17:06 pm »

I've got my schedule made...

Saturday:
10AM-11AM: Opening Ceremonies
11AM-1PM: Anime & Shakespeare
1PM-3PM: Anime Hunters
4PM-6PM: AMV Contest
6PM-7PM: AMV Show
8PM-9:30PM: Anime That Scarred Me For Life
10PM-11PM: Randomness of the Internets (maybe)
11:30PM-2AM: Yuri!

Sunday:
9AM-10:30AM: Ouran Host Club Tea Party
10:30AM-11:30AM: Comic/Manga Panel
2PM-3:30PM: Fanboy/girl Anonymous Panel
4PM-5PM: Asian in America
10PM-2AM: Hentai!

Monday:
10AM-11AM: Anime Christmas
12PM-3PM: Cosplay Chess
3PM-5PM: Closing Ceremonies

Saturday's obviously my busy day. My plans for it came together in about five minutes; there were hardly any major conflicts, and there were tons of appealing events.

Sunday...not so much. In fact, the only event I'm really looking forward to on that day is the Hentai panel. Sucks that there's not a lot of interesting stuff going on during the cosplay contest. But that will give me time to wander the halls, take pictures, hopefully get my picture taken a few times, ext. It'll be more relaxed, but I'm sure there'll be lots of stuff to keep occupied with.

Monday's pretty straight-forward. I've never been to Cosplay Chess before, and I've always wanted to go, so there's that. My only regret is that I'll miss the charity auction.

I'm jealous! The day I turn 18 can't come soon enough!

Let me tell you: 18+ panels are the single most not-overrated thing in the world. The only reasons I was excited when I turned 18 was because I knew I could buy doujinshi and attend 18+ panels. So far, I've only been 18 for Sakuracon. But it only would have been half as fun if I had been under 18.

...Sorry if that multiplied your jealousy. But you definitely have something to look forward to.

oslapedo · « **Reply #42 on:** August 18, 2008, 11:34:53 pm »

Gee thanks. My jealousy has quintupled!

But wait... you can't buy doujin until you're 18?! =O

Quoted for truth.
The extension on curfew only applies to the dances, if you want to leave the dance you need to go up to the hotel rooms.

The thing about Voodoo Donuts is that if you actually live in Portland, it's not super-cool. =_=;

Like.. Portlanders see it as more of a place where out-of-towners go to say they were in Portland. I used to live in Portland, so I have a buncha friends there who say that. It's kinda funny. xD
But! They are delicious!

I'm just glad I (for once) am cosplaying a character who has fully-functional hands (two of them!). Every other costume I've done has had one regular hand and one incapacitated. So yes, I won't have to worry about juggling camera and phone and stuff this year, lol. And I have lotsa pockets, which is nice.
