/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/banhomestuckfrommcmexpo/

which of you was this, be honest

>>6367591
The description made me laugh though. Good job, I'd say.

>>6367591
Not a Homestuck fag, but how is Homestuck NOT a comic...or even an animated film at times.

>>6367669
Oh my...

>>6367549
When I get home (still in London at the moment) I'm gonna start working on my Rei cosplay. Doing an Eva group with the Tomie cosplayer from MCM and a couple of other people hopefully. Should be fun!

>>6368694
Oh hey. My plans have changed so I'm joining your group as Mari.

>>6367591
behold my robes

>>6367549
We've been brainstorming cosplay idea's for hyper japan. We've either settled with crossdressing for Haruhi, Mikuru and Yuki or the Lucky Star girls.
Either way we're gonna enjoy the shit out of it.

>>6368705
Ah excellent! Look forward to meeting you.

(also feels pretty nice having a picture of my cosplay as an OP image)

got my HJ ticket, i am WELL PREPARED this time aka more time to spend procrastinating on cosplays
WHAT'S EVERYONE'S PLANS?

>>6368948
you were the mascot of the meet

May I request more cosplay photos from MCM?
Any good/interesting performances in the Masquerade?

>>6368961
I had such a great time with you guys!

haha I've know him/

>>6368969
This. Can we actually get some fucking photo's instead of bitching.
No one gives a fuck who talked to who at what point and what was said.

Just...Photo's. Please.

>>6368926
Oh. We've already met! I blinded you at the CGL meet on Saturday with the flash on my DSLR. :p

Thinking of going to Hyper J, never been before. How big is it compared to MCM? Also what are the after parties like?

>>6369064
I'll post some of mine when I get home, though it might seem a little narcissistic since they are pretty much all just of myself with other cosplayers.

>>6369376
Ooh okay neat! Well it'll be nice to see you again and cosplay with you. :)

>>6369391
I don't think HJ has after parties. You can barely even get into the event, queuing is a disaster.

>>6369541
good thing we're planning a seagull meet then

>>6369541
no doubt someone here will throw a room party though

>>6369549
You called?

>>6368948
Oh hi I follow you on tumblr.

Might be there for the CGL meet, won't be staying as I'm travelling up north.

>>6369404
YOU ARE THE FELLOW I WAS TALKING TO

how you doing bro, it's splinter cell, i guess you really weren't rei after all...

I'll go... if someone wants to pay for it.

>>6369719
Hi there! Who might you be then?

>>6369783
Hey bro, it was cool hanging out with you. I think I have a few pictures with you, I'll post them when I get home tomorrow. Are you going to be going to Hyper Japan?

>>6369946
Ha

>>6370052
sounds sick man, you too. as for HJ, i only just found out about it like yesterday, i'd like to go but i think i might not have enough dosh. if not, i expect i'll see you at MCM next year though bro. hopefully the ceilings will be made of sterner stuff...

Did anybody encounter any of those alleged religious protesters?

>>6369946
>Filenames
My sides.

Wont be going to Hyper Japan (now or ever, probs), but I am ready for everything else as it is now :>
Got a pretty big neat apartment at the Custom House hotel booked up for May, might consider letting people in for a /cgl/ party.

How about we post some pics now? This is an imageboard after all. I would start, but I've got 0 stuff to contribute with.
So I'll just go back to lurking mode now. Will look forward to seeing new and old people next year, and have fun at Hyper Japan to everyone who is going!

Finally home, but my internet isn't really working so I'll just post one or two until it gets itself together. Snake bro was a pretty cool guy, as was Sam Fisher guy.

This was pretty fun. I was getting my picture taken with the Pyramid Head guy and I notice people starting to laugh so I turn around to find that a group of Storm Troopers had been standing behind us. My "jesus christ" was met with "no sir, just storm troopers".

(also have a bunch of pictures of the Tomie cosplayer I was with but I should get her permission to post them)

Yeah pretty much all the pictures are of me or Tomie, sorry. Everyone was really cool though I'd love to hang out with you guys again some time.

I remember this guy from the progress thread, but I didn't see him around until at the bar after the con. If you're around, I hope you had a good time!

Dat ceiling.

laurentius the poor-omancer

I need to be in London the weekend after HyperJapan, so with a bit of luck, a few ticket reschedules and some long term mooching off a friend of mine I might be able to make HyperJapan.
Get hype.

>>6374419
I did not realise how far down my sash had slipped. Working on actual shoes for next time because the full Hobo experience isn't for me. I had a nice time but felt a little drained after rushing around a lot pre-con, moving down for Bangor on the Friday and what not. Not going to be able to make it to hyper Japan but I will be at Aya and May expo. If time permits it, I might run a panel at Aya as well but I'm not 100% set on that yet.

Speaking of Ayacon, who else is going?

>>6369946

>>6374946
Might be going to Aya depending on my situation. Probably not going to May expo due to graduation etc. Am going to HJ though.

>>6374961
Holy shit, You graduate so early. My dissertation is due May 3rd and they take for ever to mark.

>>6374946
I should be going to Aya or May McM, most likely a case of one or the other due to money and such.

>>6374946
I know you've mentioned a hentai panel a few times, and I can guarantee 100% that such a thing is happening at Ayacon, so you gotta think up more ideas.

I'm going in for a full 5 events weaboo experience next year, Ayacon included. Am already pretty excited for it.

Speaking of cons, anyone heading to Gemucon in april?
Ignoring the lolfuyucon2007 venue, it's bound to be nice for a few parties.
Picture related, they -know- what's going down.

>>6369946

>>6374979
Lel, I know right?

>>6375117
I think my friends and I are loser-coning Gemu and hitting the town after.

Signed up for Ayacon though. I've only ever been to Ame, is Aya good?

Pretty annoying tbh.

>Fast Track Ticket £15.
>Ok, sugoi monogatari aniki.
>£1 "service fee" wat.jpg...but OK w/e.
>Fees to pay for ticket.
>Pokerface.jpg
>£15 ticket becomes about £17.

>>6375188
Aya is one of my favourite events. Had some good times at Aya. Plus the accommodation isn't as shit as Ame's.

will any seagulls be at doj con next year?

bump

Oh PirateToaster. Why must you suggest such a horrible idea? From the Ayacon forums. Idea was rejected by all the thread has now been locked.

>>6378039
Isn't that just blatant attention whoring? Sure wonder around in a canon/own design swim suit/skimpy costume if you like but isn't a competition for one going a bit far? I saw a video of a US one and the only interesting thing was when a Ty Lee cosplayer did a contortion performance. Otherwise it was just semi-hot girls in bikinis.

>>6378039
http://www.ayacon.org.uk/forum/index.php/topic,110.0.html

I love the replies she got, stupid girl.

>>6378039
>>6378190
PirateToaster just likes having every available chance to attention whore. Literally every cosplay she picks now is something really attention whoring, not to mention how she bandwagons all the time. She has a nice body and all but it's getting a little pathetic now.

He looks a little bit like Sido...

>>6374448
This was the best idea ever

>>6378581
and yet no-one else even knows how it happened

>>6378039
Oh god, I remember seeing a video of one. It was awful and embarassing and.. just no.

Never been to a seagull meet; that said, I've only done MCM Manchester so far! I really want to do Amecon next year because it's twenty minutes away from my house and not having to sort out accommodation/trains would be wonderful. I'm also thinking of MCM Midlands (again, near my house and out of exam time), or HJ in February, depending on when exams fall.

The next costume I want to do is Elsie from The World God Only Knows, but that would have to be Amecon as that would give me the whole summer to sew it (no machine at uni). That said, I'm really getting into lolita so...we'll see.

>>and there you go, British seagulls, far too much information about my plans.

>>6378659
Amecon isn't on next year, Aya is.

>>6378659
*Amecon in 2014. I forgot the year thingy.

>>6378664
Thank you! I realised as I sent the post that I'd forgotten the year; I was thinking in academic years and completely cocked up.

>>6378595
Someone on ecstasy persuaded me to get in the ceiling and Pirate Toaster gave me a lift up, it then fell through.

>>6378902
there was E? shit, i went to the wrong party

>>6378933
you probably went to the official meet party with annie instead of the circlejerking shitfest that was pt's

>>6378962
it was that bad?

tell me more

>>6378039
Think it's less the idea is horrible, more that she wanted someone else to run it, meaning she wanted to take part. Erm...no. but also no one wants to see this shit of landwhales parading in swimsuits.

>>6378993
>>6378962
It wasn't pt's party. We'll be at Hyper J if anybody wants to party hard again though

Why is this thread so damn dead

Come on, share your dramus

>>6378962
>the official meet party with annie
Can't stop laughing as if it was official and as if she has to make herself feel super special by saying that

>>6383698
>"official" arranged party
>annie was there
>thus, official meet party with annie

it's just two separate factors of the same party jesus you lot will pick at anything

>>6383707
No the way you worded that was very suggestive and you know it.
There wasn't even an official party there's an official nothing as official as it got was meeting by the statue well done.

>>6369997
I'm pretty sure I just saw you in a youtube video. Were you wearing a blue shirt watching Richard Stallman give a speech at Leeds University?

>>6383751
wow i'm not even the same anon calm down
stop getting your panties in a twist tho clearly all anyone means by official is that the people who did the most arranging are the ones that were there
stop reading so much into nothing, your autist is showing

>>6383672
Is this from the Saturday? I think I have a picture with that Joker and Harley Quinn in the background. They were cool, and seemed to stay in character the whole time.

bump

>>6378039
Wow! What an awful suggestion. Dreading the outcome should an event like that gone ahead. I doubt there would have been a bad turn out. Maybe someone like Tif/Zelda might have taken part but I can't think of too many others.

Does anybody know how long Oyster cards take to be delivered if I buy one from the TFL website? I'd like to get one in time for Hyper Japan but I'm worried that it'll take forever to get here.

>>6392827
Usually about 1 or 2 days by post. They get them delivered really quickly.

>>6392827
You have 2 1/2 weeks, it'll come in time. But you can buy them in London at a lot of places. They're £5 then you have to top them up.
