Does anyone know any UK cosplay groups? Or something something. So far I've got all the main bases covered forum wise. I'll be digging around for groups now.

Thats provided the board is up yet.
Me and Ki are considering it, we're just discussing how to get there and where we'll stay.
If anyone can suggest a cheap place to stay in London, really anywhere close to the underground, it would help us out extremely.

The first time I read that I totally forgot about the American differences in the use of the word pants XD
I actually did spend a minute wondering..."how would that help?"
Wait, what does 'pants' mean in- Oh, wait. *facepalms and starts cracking up like crazy* Does... does that word mean in Britain what I think it means? *headdesks* I think I'm gonna go to bed... *shakes head with her hand covering her face*
EDIT: OhwaitIneedtobeontopic! D: Erm... erm... Good luck you guys? O_o; *probably said that already*

Edit: Though I just realised it might be better to contact the admons/mods for those groups about the event rather than creating a brand-spanking new account and post in a new community. People can be suspicious about that (and with good reason too - wee drama!)
If someone does anyone from Sims I want a photo. Especially if they go for, say, Mrs. Crumplebottom XD

Tonight i shall contact lots of the groups on there. I should really use that place more often to advertise stuff. Too many journals @_-

I've only ever "cosplayed" as the Merchant from Resident Evil 4, but that was Halloween so it's a bit different. It'd be fun to do a character from Niraven, but that would require some serious hair-dying and styling and some nice new duds, I'm afraid I can't pull that off right now. Hopefully another time, but until then you guys have a blast and take lots and lots of pictures.

In the event that I somehow do manage to cobble together a costume in 2 weeks ( that stays together for that matter, I'm sewing inept. If it comes to it I might end up just wearing a mask, haha XD ), well, I'll see you there. If not, then I wish everyone who goes Good Luck on breaking that record! =D

Actually, I'm kinda miffed because a few days ago we discovered my hat fits in a suitcase.... which means that night it was pouring down in Glasgow and we were walking to the bus station my hat got soggy and deeeeformed FOR NOTHING :| My hat was also assaulted by a drunk 40 something sitting beside me in the coach home who looked at my U.V makeup and told me his emo teenage son was also into 'what i do'... whatever that was >_>; Lol
I hope you can make it! But don't stress if you can't lady

Wait a minute...
HOW is that possible? Either you have one massive suitcase or...or...well, I dunno.

Nope. I can't, since he's not from an actual computer game. BUT i can give you a hint as to just WHO Sega themselves have me lined up to cosplay as, lol XD -
*giggles incessantly* If only I resided in the UK.... but nooooo...... *jabs Massachussetts on the US map with a fork*
I would be cosplaying as either NiGHTS or Wizeman. Yes. I actually have a Wizeman costume *cough its horrible cough* that involves metal spikes and railroad ties. Long story.

XD I remember you telling me that on the Sunday after, how he was asking you for advice and whatnot about it, haha. I think that should go up there with sedated poodles as reminder to what happens when you go on any form of public transport( I'm fairly sure there's a comic oppertunity here. The Adentures of TRiPPY in Transport Land. *ducks* )

In other words a Sonic Team convention is like a sweet chocolate cake, I want it but it's too rich for me.
Pity, I always wanted my room to be litterd with Sonic fanboi stuff.

"I don't want to go among mad people!"
I think that comics can be easily made out of the escapades of cosplaying bizarre characters in public.
Coming soon to a bookstore near you:
NiGHTS and The Cheesecake Factory
(It's a restaurant in Boston I'll probably visit during Anime Boston)

Goshdarnit drat and double drat. *woes*
Good luck to those who can go~! I'll try and pimp this up a little too if I can; I want it to be big so I can really kick myself for not going~! XD;

I was about to type what wyldflowa said! They should have held it around the time of May expo, because I'm going to that too, and cosplaying there. Silly Guiness... D:
(I've seen Sims cosplayers before. It was so bad it was great. XD)

Giving people 3 weeks to organize for something like this is not a good idea either. Prepairing for cosplay related events usualy takes months. 3 weeks is such short notice. Me and Lynne were not even going to go because of the time frame but i've decided to skip college for this. So, hey, to hell with it. You only live once. This kinda thing may never happen again over here in the UK if the first attempt doesn't kick off on a good note.
Once again, if there is any possible way that people can make it, then please do so. Seriously.

Seriously though. Example: Merchant, Resident Evil 4. I put together that costume in one day out of things me and my best friend had. We used a blue bandana, a vampire cape, a man's trenchcoat, gray backpack, simple belt, black T-shirt, plaid pajama pants and a pair of black boots. How did it turn out?
Not bad, huh? Photo's a bit crappy but live with me here.

We should all do something fun too after the event finishes as I am sure it is just taking a picture and even quicker if good old weather turns out rain or freezing cold.
Here is a quick taster of a a costume I had to get together quickly when I went to the Super Mario Galaxy event.
My assassin looks a lot cooler though and I didnt even get all the parts I wanted!!

That nice man next to me does the Mario and Wario voiceovers in case anyone is confused.

Bah it's such a shame D; It really is an unfortunate date. For some reason my uni has weird easter holiday dates that are earlier than everybody elses, so I'm on holiday then. But that means I'm at home. v.v
And why a Tuesday morning of all days of the week?? That so random! xD
If it was some other time I'd skip uni and be on the first megabus to London! D: Gah this is really annoying me since I really would like to meet Trippy and Digi and everybody else who is coming! That and I haven't had a chance to cosplay for 2 years D:

I wouldn't be able to attend this thing if SEGA weren't paying, so the closer you live to the city the better. You could be stuck in the hills like some of us guys XD;
KIARA THE SHEEP HAVE EATEN MY COSTUME AGAIN ;O; GET THE HAGGIS!

ANYWAY back on topic (i'll make a thread about that later) missus you need to start mailing me your cosplay pix again, i was tinkering in the cosplay section earlier.
#75
Posted 05 March 2008 - 01:57 PM
EDIT: But then you'd have, like, over fifteen different webcast things from various spots in the U.S. alone. Wouldn't that be hard to manage? Oo;

Also maybe we should contact sites like gonintendo to put it as news as the costumes are for any game and you want lots of people right, even if an army of plumbers comes down to London.
HAIL MARIO.
