GK plug and more cosplay
Posted On 06/27/2008 00:17:39
Hi kids.  First I just wanted to plug the Gasukan group here at Cosspace--you can find it at the bottom of my page.  For more coverage you can also go to Facebook here:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17195743925&ref=mf

I'm very excited because I help maintain this page, and it's very fun and it's for a good cause.  I enjoy helping out.

cosplay news: you'll see some new additions on my cosplay list.  First off: the Chun Li costume is nearly complete and will definitely be ready by August and probably even sooner.  Just need to get a couple of things to make the legs look right, and the um...chestral area as well.  I mean come on it's Chun Li, and you know me I want to look accurate.  I'm very excited about the finished wig, it's probably one of the more detailed wigs I'll be wearing in all my years of cosplaying.

Currently in negotiations with cosplay for a title I nearly forgotten about, but really enjoy: Gate Keepers!  There'll be 2 characters I'l be doing.  One I can do myself, and the other I'll be getting plenty of help to create.  This will be really fun!

There's also more plans for Ani-Maid as you can see.  Yeah I know I just debuted Ani-Maid Blue, but Ani wasn't totally satisfied, and she wanted an additional transformation so I concurred!

Let's not forget stuff for GK as well, as I am getting excited about that.

I almost forgot!  I'll be moderator for some crossplay panels coming up!  First will be at Fandemonium, of which I may be the sole moderator.  It should be interesting.  I should also mention I'll be musical guest as I was last year.  I hope to put on a good show.

I'll also have a crossplay panel at Kumori Con with 2 other moderators.  It's going to be a late night panel, meaning our topics and discussion can be a little more LOOSE.  Should be VERY interesting.

Later this year...it will be the first year anniversary of Gasukan!  My gawd will it be a year already, Kumi-chan?
Also we just found out about a new con in our area called Aki-Con.  We're ecstatic!

That ought hold you over for a while...

Update on stuff
Posted On 06/14/2008 23:30:17
I haven't blogged in a while since like March!  What's been going on?

Sakura Con was pretty good.  Things didn't go as I hoped exactly, but that's the way things go sometimes.  Good things come to those who wait, and sure enough in May at the next Gasukan I got to see and wear the Ranma-Romeo costume--it was beautiful!  Thank you Kumi-chan!

Between there I attended my first Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, and I actually had a somewhat better time than I did at SC--more relaxed, less stress.  A good time.  I made a quick Speed Racer costume and was a minor hit with the con-goers there.  Parents say to their kids: "look there's Speed Racer, say hi!"  I even saw the movie after the con closed up!

No cons in May this time around--I needed a good rest.  And besides with Gasukan each month I don't have to worry about going through cosplay withdrawal.

Bleach was the mainstay at June's Gasukan and I had a good time with that, and made some new cosplay buddies.  We had some other plans for costumes for that Gasukan, but they weren't ready yet, but as I said good things come to those who wait!  Me and the new buddies also attended the Bleach movie showing with more cosplay and pics and more fun. 

I'll share some pics when they're all posted.

What's next?  Gasukan again in July.  Don't know what to expect costume-wise but I hope for good things again as always.  But there are "good things" all around my life...
New costumes are being worked on for conventions.  You can see my planned costume section to get a hint--I'm excited.

Catch you later!

It's con time!

Hey kids. Yes it's time again, to go out in public in a hotel or convention center to wear wild costumes, take photos and just be plain geeky.

I have my convention schedule planned so far:

first up, ANIME OASIS NaNa in Boise, Idaho--4 days!

then Sakura Con in Seattle, WA

There's a nice long rest between SC and the next for me.

then in August and September:

Fandemonium--Nampa, Idaho
Anime Evolution--Burnaby, BC, Canada
Kumori Con--Portland, Oregon

Hopefully I can attend a new con in Boise in November: Tomodachi Fest.  That's all.  I'm ignoring California cons this year as well as NDK.  No need to spend so much money, wear myself out getting to cons that are either not as good anymore or just plain terrible (AX).  I'm learning that quality, not quantity is where it counts.

So expect lots of tales and photos soon.  Maybe I'll see ya there!
In the meantime here's some pics from the Gasukan shoot back in February:

So I was looking at my friend's pages here, and realize mine was rather boring.  So I went and added some color, plus more elaborate information about my cosplays and cosplay ideas, plus myself as well.  Check it out if you wish.

Hi kids.  Well it was actually a busy fall and winter I have links of cosplay gatherings and such, some organized by fellow cosspace.com member Kumi-chan.  And we're not done yet!

Also con season is gearing up and the first major stop for me this year is Anime Oasis NaNa in Boise Idaho in March followed by Sakura Con.

here are some links:

NDK photos and more
Posted On 11/07/2007 15:42:15

Hi folks.  I had a rough and busy October battling a health condition, but I have lots of photos to share from NDK:

photos from photoshoot at Gasworks Park in Seattle:

and the Sakura Con staff Halloween party:

plus the NDK report:



http://www.anipike.com/index.php?env=-innews/detail:m3208-1-1-3-s:n-906-1-0&n_event=



Another photoshoot is coming up.  Here's info:



Gasukan 2: Crossing Over

Date: November 18th
Time: Noon (can start gathering at 11)
Location: W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory in Tacoma
Theme: Crossing Over

Address: 316 South G St, Tacoma, 98405 (in Wright Park)
Information on the location: http://www.metroparkstacoma.org/page.php?id=21

"Crossing Over" can mean several things:

1. characters from anime/manga/games that have a spiritual theme
2. characters that are spirits, or dead in the series. That can mean characters who were killed off in the series too.
3. characters from different series interacting. They can be series by the same creator, or by different creators altogether. For example pair up Anna from Shaman King with Ichigo from Bleach.


4. CROSSPLAY of course! Girls cosplay male characters...and vice versa!



Maybe see you there?




 


More convention/cosplay updates for y'all
Posted On 09/28/2007 15:49:42

Hey kids.  Been a little under the weather this week due to some acid reflux but I'll survive and I'm taking medicine. 


Anyway I attended Anime Evolution, Kumori Con AND NDK in a span of like 4 weeks.  so I have lots of photo links to share with you:

NDK photos I'm still working on.  Also I became friends with this nice girl who loves cosplay and is a big fan of Rumiko Takahashi so we have big plans for costumes next year and have already done some photoshoots together. Here are some of us as Ataru and Lum at Gasworks Park in Seattle:


http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j203/hkaddict/Lum%20and%20Ataru%20at%20Gasworks/


More to come!


Went to many cons this year--too many.  I'm going to cut back next year.  But that means I'll have more time for local photoshoots and stuff.  Anyway Kumori Con and Anime Evolution reports will be up soon at Anipike.com, and I'll have an exclusive interview article with J-rock band Back-On at Anipike coming in November!


I've also updated my page at Cosplay.com, where I've added photo links to my costume gallery:


http://members.cosplay.com/member/16257/


Just click on the costume icon and it'll take you to details and costume photo links!


That should do it for now.  Happy motoring...


 


 


 


Grand update!
Posted On 08/15/2007 00:13:28

Hey I'm sorry again I haven't blogged in awhile, but I haven't been slacking off.  I've been attending cons, taking and posting photos and writing.


First off I have con reports of Fanime Con and AX up here:


http://www.anipike.com/index.php?env=-innews/detail:m3208-1-1-3-s:n-894-1-0&n_event=


http://www.anipike.com/index.php?env=-innews/detail:m3208-1-1-3-s:n-893-1-0&n_event=


AND an article on Anna Tsuchiya:


http://www.anipike.com/index.php?env=-innews/detail:m3208-1-1-3-s:n-895-1-0&n_event=


I recently attended a con called Fandemonium in Nampa Idaho where they celebrate all Fandoms including anime and games.  I was musical guest there (sang many anime tunes) and was treated like a celebrity.  Attendance was like 550 but it was everything that AX wasn't.  A cosplay group named Ichidan put on their 2nd part to their "Grand Cosplay" based on Kingdom Hearts and it was an amazing show.  Now I want to bring them to Sakura Con.


Here's a link to all photos of AX and Fandemonium, plus other events I went to like a Sakura Con sponsored Cosplay Parade in Chinatown Seattle, and Japan Night at the Mariners game where folks cosplayed a little, AND the Harry Potter book release party:

Please check out my AX con diary too here:


http://www.cosplayphotos.com/conventions/carlos_report_view.php?conid=34


And I'm not done yet!  Fandemonium report is coming and Thursday night I'm off to Anime Evolution in Burnaby, BC, Canada.  Kumori Con is on Labor Day Weekend, and NDK a couple weeks after that.  NDK will feature a new costume from me (hopefully)! So there are more things coming.


Please enjoy everything!


 


 


AX Aftermath
Posted On 07/16/2007 00:25:56

Hi folks sorry for not writing for so long.  Back from AX. It was perfect, right?


WRONG.


Cosplayers, people, Anna Tsuchiya, Dealer's room, Masquerade press photos, karaoke--Great.


Everything else--terrible. 


Most importantly the organization and communication or lack thereof of the AX and LBCC staff--worst I ever seen at a con.  Gawd I was so angry the first day.  This is supposed to be the best con in the US?  Not by a long shot.  I won't be kind in my con report.


Will I be back next year? Doubtful. Too bad.  The cosplayers and photoshoots were awesome.


Well I have photos up of Day 4 and the aftermath so far:


http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j203/hkaddict/AX%20aftermath/
http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j203/hkaddict/AX%202007%20Monday/


They're also up at anipike.com as well but I need to clear out disk space there to finish off Day 4 there.


Keep ya posted when the rest go up.  See ya!
