The PSU Anime Club is hosting a Costume Ball on ~~April 10th~~ ~~October 23, 2009~~ in about four hours(!). It will be held in the Smith Memorial Student Union's 3rd Floor Ballroom. The event is completely free and open to the public.

For those of you who don't dance but want to learn, we will start the event at 6:30pm with a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing. DJed dance music will follow, with a break for the costume contest at 9pm. The event ends at 11:30.

Cookies, fresh veggie snacks and hot/cold beverages will be provided.

The prizes for the costume contest will be as follows:

First Prize(1): $100 Powell's Gift Certificate http://www.powells.com/
Second Prize(3): Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/b625/
Third Prize(5): $10 Powell's Gift Certificate http://www.powells.com/

I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

I thought Sakura-con was the following weekend.

Ummm... yeah. Stay tuned for possible updates.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #5 on:** March 22, 2009, 03:12:17 pm »

I would come too but like everyone has said before, Sakuracon.

If the date changes I'll totally come though since I live only five or so blocks away from PSU.

Edit: Rescheduled the event to October.

We had a bunch of reservations and such, but we hadn't actually spent any money yet, so rescheduling turned out to be pretty easy. Also, now we get to be in the big ballroom in the student union instead of the cafeteria.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2009, 05:32:39 pm »

October 23rd this year? I'm marking my calender now. I was hoping to have more things planned this year for October and surprisingly things are already popping up.

I would be glad to attend. count me in. :3

Hmmm, October 23rd basically makes it a pre-Halloween party... well, no complaints. It just means more excuses for cosplay, or at least a better one.

Yikes! I guess I wasn't getting notifications of replies to this thread. I did get the notification of the PM, though.

To answer the questions I spotted while skimming the replies, and in no particular order:

1) There is no age limit.
2) All costumes are welcome, not just anime cosplay outfits.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to everyone. Glad to hear that folks are planning to come.

Yeah, TUNAC (the Truly Unnamed Anime Club) died like two years after Kumori Con started. Most of the founders of TUNAC graduated from the U of O and shifted their focus to running Kumori Con. Interestingly, though, our con chair Beau was one of the last people to keep attending it -- he acts casual but he's pretty dedicated.

Someone tried to revive the club about two years ago. I participated, but it didn't last.

Anyway, about the PSU costume ball... I hope to come. I'll put it on my calendar.

I hadn't even thought of that. I just assumed that since it's right before Halloween, it'd be a normal costume ball where all you have to do is come in costume.

Firemousey · « **Reply #43 on:** September 18, 2009, 08:30:49 pm »

Every time I hear "Costume Ball," I think of something extravagant like a Masquerade - but just a bit more costume based. Idk why, but I like those kinds of things..xD

You probably didn't. I was one of the people who didn't dress up for the con so I was probably an uninteresting subject matter anyways. (small Asian girl with glasses if it helps)

LOL @ the MAX Police thing though! xD

I pm'd the OP and received word back that if you want to dress formally/semi-formally as in Masquerade Style clothing, that it's fine too.

I'm definitely going Masquerade Style!

Do we know if there will be swing/ballroom dancing, or more of rave-style?

Agent47 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 27, 2009, 06:34:15 pm »

What kind of dance? It's my experience that learning different dance styles helps all my dancing.

The DJ will have music appropriate to Swing (East Coast/West Coast/Lindy, which actually covers a lot of music, including modern stuff) and whatever we provide to him. I may provide a modern Tango song for myself. If you have any specific requests, please PM me.

The contest isn't anime exclusive I'm guessing. Game characters count also? (Cloud, Mario, Sora, and therefore disney characters, etc.)

I'ma coming as someone Super. With something meant to protect me from the rain...not a parasol.

I have a CD of various anime/game music that can be played randomly in any order. I'll PM the playlist.

AS far as i understand, its a costume contest for any kind of costume, not just anime or video game characters.

The Ball was fun! Are you guys going to plan another one?

D'awww. =(

Do you happen to know the girl I'm talking about? I never got a chance to tell her something. xD

I dropped in a bit late as Mario with the last minute M hat patch and paper mustache...I just now realized that I was paper Mario! Next event that I come as Mario to, I am bringing a ? block with me for bashing and item holding.

Hey there, I was the male Link that showed up.

I had a blast; it was worth the trip from Eugene/Springfield. I didn't know people quite as well as other events, but everybody was well worth talking to. Thanks so much for the gift certificate, Wil. It's the first time I've won anything with that costume, partially because I have yet to enter the cosplay contest at a con.

My only regret is that I missed the Zelda Temple Trance Remix that I requested.

Took awhile to get my dang costume on. But on the plus side we had a nice little mini-party in the bathroom, it seems...

TSJason:

Hey, that was you? I didn't know. We weren't formally introduced. Sorry you weren't there for long.

I recognized your costume from the con, so I knew you'd score somewhere in the top three spots. Was there cake at said party?
And yeah, I was first attempt Mario. A foothold to MEWcon when I'll be bringing, maybe wearing, a ? block full of useful handout items.

Your Mario costume wasn't too bad. I should have gotten more people to dance. It's always more fun when everyone dances together. =D

i totally danced a bit.
i left right after they played my song request though.

Firemousey · « **Reply #100 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:46:54 pm »

I saw you shuffling here and there. What I meant was about the people who were sitting around closer to the stage. Unfortunately, I'm only brave enough to get my friends to dance but no one else. =(

Firemousey · « **Reply #102 on:** October 26, 2009, 12:28:46 am »

Nothing wrong with shuffling right? I do it a lot since I suck at extravagant dancing.

(Hope you mean it in a good way. I'm not too good at picking up on sarcasm on the net xD)

Well, thanks for your confidence.

By "top three spots" do you mean top three costumes or top three prizes? Heh, there were a lot of prizes.

There was no cake in the bathroom party, but there was one person bypassing the gender rules. Hey, I needed someone to help with my wig.

Hmmm, a ? block. I'd hit that.

Were you happy that I was wearing the sword on the left shoulder, or that I really am left-handed?

I'm glad Link is left-handed, since I am. Interestingly, he's always been that way, even on the NES. (Wii version doesn't count

)

Were you the one wearing the Winry costume?

Oh, okay. Sadly, I have seen a hairy guy in a Winry costume before.

But I will happily acknowledge that this was not the case here.

Hey, you asked me to do it.

I'm not sure why, now that I come to think of it...

I believe you weren't the only one to comment on the left-handed thing, hence the confusion.

That was nice; almost nobody notices these subtleties at cons because they're so frenzied and hectic...

Please tell me that someone in the Anime Club is thinking of at least doing a Ball for one of those dates. I would love it so much. I would even be willing to pay a surcharge!
