Well most of them post news online on a daily basis like the Nintendo and Xbox Magazine.

Feel free to contact them and they might be interested on the idea and put it on the front page.

And here it is

http://blueherogamin...splayers-unite/

Also I just noticed it starts at 11 which might be a problem considering the only tutorial I have starts at that time and the Uni is very strict with attendace.I could be facing some serious consequences involving tortutue and death.

[TRiPPY]

Yeyyyyy we got given our plane tickets tonight <3

Thankyou SEG0r

[Feniiku]

Waii, I won't know for absolute certain if I can go until, like, the friday beforehand, since we have to work out rotas and I have to work out money and I have bugger all idea of how to get to the location from Victoria train station XD

[TRiPPY]

You know... it just struck me... I'm heading there in 7 days time exactly.

O_O

[MidgitLD]

RALLY YOUR FRILLS AND GLITTER, WOMANG. You're going to help make HISTORY! : D

[TRiPPY]

*eyes large cardboard box in livingroom* must... pack....death.... into.... suitcase

Actually dammit first i gotta find my camera cable :/ I've not seen it since we moved, i hope i didnt lose it

[ArchangelUK]

I just got my white gloves in the mail ~squeee

In other news, this news has spread very fast over various gaming websites and communities. Good stuff.

And who is responsible for that? The TRiPster rocks, everyone.

[TRiPPY]

I had to sign up to about 6 different UK con boards to hobnob with people, most of which are coming who arent stuck in school. I have an urge to now attend MCM and Ame to flog my comics.

[Diogothedreamer]

I really tried but seems that I cant go as my tutorial starts at 11 pm which is the same as this right?!
Well I could ask my teacher but then again I dont have a clue where London Bridge is as I never been there before so getting lost in costume equals no fun at all.

[TRiPPY]

WTF apparently the Paul O'grady show is gonna be there!


THATS ONLY MY FAVOURITE TV SHOW


WARGH

[TRiPPY]

I've started a new album on my cosplay.com account that every photo i find will go into-
http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/105117/

Just now It's me tinkering about with said costume before i get it packed.

[Feniiku]

Rar, can't make it after all myself. It's too awkward to get the day off, especially since my brother's quit, so we have no spare staff :/

I demand video though XD

[TRiPPY]

Speaking of video- DiGi has ACTUALLY STARTED DOING THE AUCHI 06' ONE. And it's already brilliant XD (we couldnt do it before because our old PC would crash the program)


In other news, i tried my costume on again thismorning after breakfast to check it still fits. Still as uncomfortable as i remember it from 2 years ago, lol, WHY did i expect any less? *lol* poor DiGi.

Cue hastily taken redeye photos of me acting like a twit in my hall with no makeup on :|


^Back of costume


^Lollers


^Crazy mofo


^Somethinsomethin


^Yar pirates


^*LMAO* DiGi had this epic idea that i could wear his coat on the london underground so nobody would heckle me about my costume... but... uh.... I LOOK LIKE A TERRORIST WITH BROKEN ARMS *rolls across carpet laughing* Ahmaannn. I could have 30 bombs strapped to me for all the London police know e_e;; So i guess we'll be getting a cab. PROVIDED i can SIT in it. Goddamn tight costume grr.


Anyhoo, got it all packed. Phew.

[Meggiemaccat]

Ohgodthat'sawesome! =0o0= *wishes she could cross the ocean just to see this overly awesome thing* My god, you must be some kind of crazy-awesome seamstress; this looks positively kick-ass.

[DiGi Valentine]

Please kill me ;_;

[ArchangelUK]

"Do you want to be cremated Baldrick, or buried at sea?"

I'll give you guys a ring tomorrow to discuss shizzle, frankly I feel like crap right now so if I sound none too jolly THAT'S why.

[Meggiemaccat]

Please kill me ;_;

O-o; May I guess, perchance, that you've just seen your costume, or are you superbly nervous about this entire thing?

*hands Archangel a cookie (or... erm... biscuit... as I'm led to believe Europeans say...) for lack of knowing what to say to Mr. I-work-for-Sega Awesomeness* Yeah, anyone mildly important I'm going to be a particular nervous wreck around. ^^;;;; ..... *can't help self and pats both DiGi and Archangel nervously* There there, guys... *headdesks out of sheer nerves at that gesture she just did and goes to hide in a tree*

[YamiLover13]

O-o; May I guess, perchance, that you've just seen your costume, or are you superbly nervous about this entire thing?

I was thinking it was due to how long it takes to put on that costume and the fact that he is going to have to help with it again. Particularly the boots. BUt thats just my guess. Maybe its a million things plus that.

[Meggiemaccat]

Oh, yeah, I didn't even think of how much assistance one would need to put on that outfit. ^^;;;;;

[TRiPPY]

Please kill me ;_;

No no no, no death for you young man. You're turning into Fillerbunny...
You know it's a stress for me too having to wear the thing... listening to you rant and complain while lacing up the back AND NOT BEING ABLE TO START A FIGHT because i can't MOVE in that thing. Unfair XD *hugs*

I'll give you guys a ring tomorrow to discuss shizzle, frankly I feel like crap right now so if I sound none too jolly THAT'S why.

Mehh Arch i hope it's nothing serious *hugs for you too*

I was thinking it was due to how long it takes to put on that costume

YAMI WINS. *BONUS HUGS*

[DiGi Valentine]

Lol, yeah. It's the fact that the costume takes so long to put on her. I know TRiPPY is mad for detail but this is something else. You really need to see this thing up close to understand why it takes us so long to get her dressed in it. You slowly lose the will to live by the time you've reached those boots. It looks amazing once she's wearing it though, i'll grant that. I guess it's sort of a reward to see it in all it's glory once the whole thing is on...but getting to that stage really REAAAALLY takes the piss sometimes. XD;;

And i'll take neither of those, Arch' man, for you see i am all about expansion and glorification... i want different parts of my body blasted out into the furthest corners of space so i can be encountered by different life forms who see my body parts as some form of relic and through that they shall worship me. My death shall reincarnate me as a God to many worlds. I will be famous.

....... ..

[TRiPPY]

You have an interesting imagination XD

[Golden Charm]

Curses, the timing was just too short for me to get anything prepared.

Paul O' Grady, Seriously? Odds are we'll probably see you on the box. Our household watches it all the time. XD

Shame about the timeframe. D:
But have fun, everyone who can make it.

[DiGi Valentine]

Ah well, nevermind eh. We'll see you at Auchi though, innit.

Actually, since your household watches Paul o'Grady could we be sneaky and ask you to somehow record it ..somehow..? XD;;

[Golden Charm]

Defo, on both counts, I should be able to get it on the DVD Recorder. XD

[YamiLover13]

YAMI WINS. *BONUS HUGS*

Woot! I thought that was the case. Didn't you guys say it took 2 hours just to lace up the boots or something? That would drive me nuts.

And Digi, I do feel bad for you. I can tell by some of the pictures how much details are there and how hard it would be to put on. But thats only from what little I can see. My question is what happens when she has to go to the bathroom. I would assume it would stink to take most of that off and put it all on again. Or is it like an astronaut suit?

Thats an intersting form of death there Digi. O.O

[DiGi Valentine]

Coooool. Thanks muchly, GC man. It's really appreciated. I just sent you a PM anyways explaining things in more detail so be sure to give that a read when you have free time.


And we just found out from Arch' in a phone conversation that the CBBC show 'Newsround' is also going to be there. XD
Make sure all you UK heads keep the TV on over the next week or so.

[TRiPPY]

NEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSROUUUUUUUUUUUUUUND

It taught me all about the world
*nodnod*

Straight before blue peter.

[TRiPPY]

Rahhhhh I'm leaving for the airport in an hour! I'm both excited, hyper and terrified XD; I just choked on my toast *cry*

Lol apparently Mike Hayes (RULER AND GOD AMONG MORTALS) is probably going to be in the office ... must remain inconspicous...hide behind computer desk

Expect fun docu-mini as we're taking our camcorder.

[Golden Charm]

I hope you guys captured some good stuff with the camcorder, because I can't help but show my dissappointment with the stuff I recorded for you. In Newsround, there are a few shots of you guys, mostly in the background. One good few seconds long shot of DiGi in the Sonic costume.
But, since it is a news programme aimed at children, most of the clips used were of all the young kids dressed as Mario. Can't really complain, they're providing for their target audience.

Paul O' Grady had no mention of it whatsoever, as far as I can tell, was thinking they might have provided the kids with the Mario costumes, but there was honestly no mention from the bits I've seen. I've edited them together anyway and cut out all the adverts, so you can still watch it anyway, as soon as I find somewhere to upload it to. XD

(I'll leave the actual news-telling of the record and such to TRiP and DiGi when they get back, don't want to ruin it... although I did recognize a fair amount of costumes from last years Auchi.)

...I wonder if the one dressed as Amy chased DiGi around the place?

[Murasaki Doku]

TEE HEE.

The sheer amount of Mario cosplayers alone is epic.

[Zoe]

*grumbles about not being able to attend*

Ah well, as long as everyone who DID attend had fun, I guess.

[Meggiemaccat]

Zomfg, Mario. *laughs @ DiGi pointing* Tripplez, you look rather classy, there. ^-^ And... is that blue dog what I think it is??? Gaogamon???? *takes a closer look* If there's no other possible video game character that's a blue canine with some kind of white marking on his forehead... but I'm probably wrong. ^^;;;; And do I see someone dressed as Vincent Valentine? Man, if that's true, then if only DiGi could've gone as Vallerz, that would've made the most epic photo EVAR. XDDDD

[Zoe]

I was looking at that photo before with my sister and we realised we know quite a few of the people on it (and we think we know who the Vincent Valentine cosplayer is, but we need a bigger photo to make sure). XD

[tinfoil]

I just found this picture of the event on GameSpot.

[Pikmingirl]

Hey guys! I found a video! I also saw Digi and TRiPPY there! ^___^ sweet! I hope to see more videos! XD From 00:36-00:39 and somewhere in endings and stuff. xD

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rj__eu_6zdo

not my video but it's cool! =)

Wow, there was definitely A LOT of people and cosplayers their, especially Mario. O_O

[TRiPPY]

ROMG that was EPIC amounts of fun.

I have tons of photos and video to show... but i just woke up since DiGi and i didn't sleep at SEGA very well and ended up running on insomnia alone XD
