    OK All L4Ders:
    Right now my crew (Zoey, Nick, Ellis, and the Hunter) are leaning towards Saturday since it seems like it will be the busiest day (and longest). Also there is a cosplay competition at the afterparty across the street at Lir that night. :)

    I definitely think we should meet up and get some pics together! I also have a friend going as Frank West from Dead Rising, so he'll have a nice camera to take good pics even if we don't attract some press. I figure it shouldn't be that hard to meet in some main area of the Hynes, and it should be easy enough to spot eachother too. Thoughts?

    Yeah, I'm game for some photos, just let me know where and when on Saturday. I plan on wearing my costume (or suit, rather) on Friday as well, but I'll be leaving around 11 or 11:30 on Friday. Saturday I'm staying at a hotel. If needed I can wear it on Sunday, but the same suit 3 days in a row may be pushing it.

    My fiance' and I will be in costume for at least Friday. He's going as Ezio from AC2 and I'll be there as Auron from FFXI, sword included but no jug since there was an incident where the jug didn't make it out of a con alive.

    We're always happy to stop and have photos taken or pose! If you see us, stop and say hi!

    Very cool. Can't wait to see you, but how will I be able to find your fiance? I'd imagine he'll blend in well....:winky:

    From my experience from other cons, my camera usually runs out of memory on the first day from taking pics of everything awesome and it may be the same for other people. So I'll wear mine on Friday but I will take it off before the concert. Most of the hype will be on Friday too. I'll be wearing mine on Friday and I'll wear it on Saturday too. It would be awesome if we can go the the cosplay competition (and maybe enter together if we wanted), I hear it will be lots of fun.

    HAHA, ok. If I can find something that looks like it, I'll be bringing either a med-pack or that brown satchel that he has around his leg.

    I can transform it if you wish, Wingeddillidan.
    I was going to keep it largely unofficial, as 90% of the congoers aren't going to bother looking on the forums.

    @L4Ders, I am NOT going Saturday. Don't have a ticket. I'm going friday, though. So you'll se your witch (wigless, unfortunetally) then, but not at the costume party. If you guys still plan on having the photoshoot Saturday, I won't be there for that, either. : (
    But do what's convinient for the majority of people.
    Maybe we should all get together (or a few of us) on friday to finalize plans just in case something comes up anyway?

    Hey, Left4Dead cosplayers-

    My friend and I are dressing as (another) Nick and (white girl) Rochelle on Saturday. :) We're busy in the morning with D&D, but we're gonna be roaming the convention most of the day, so if you all want to get together for pics in the afternoon or evening, that'd be awesomesauce. How about 3:30? Or would you rather do it at night around 7? Let's see how many zombies and survivors we can get together! :)

    I found this awesome plastic crowbar in a costume shop, and they let me have it for 2 bucks. It's perfect for safely cosplaying Gordon Freeman at the strictest of conventions, except that's it tarnished instead of red and white. I'll bring it along in case anyone needs a weapon.

    I might end up pulling a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance cosplay pretty much out of... well, never mind. ^^;
    Either that, or finish up this Ravager!Gria from FFTA2 and dying my hair because I have no wig.
    And damn my family, because they're the ones going NORMAL.

    pfft. My Kuma costume isn't going to be finished in the what, six days I have?

    I'll probably end up being St.Ivalice!Marche because I fail like that. grrr parents.
    Or maybe a random job. XD

    Sorry, but it's not me who's going to be Nick - it's my friend, and he's been planning this costume for months. Plus, he kinda looks like Nick, so he has an advantage. :P

    Heck, the more Nicks, the better, in my opinion. Plus, it will make for lots of fun pictures. Battle of the Nicks! :)

    I'm trying to go as a Half Life 2 Rebel. And simply walk around and say "Follow Freeman!" whenever anyone talks to me. The cloths are all generic but I'm not sure what I should do about a weapon.

    I'll be going with a friend who's Cosplaying Zoey, so we won't match perfectly. But what the heck, they are both survivors. Anyone have any tips or times they might wanna meet up!

    I really really really wanna a picture with a witch.

    So is there going to be a meet-up time/place announced, or are we just going to wing it?

    I'm probably going to be cosplaying all through Saturday, up until I change for the concerts.

    (For my Music Meister, all that's left is attaching the music notes on the suit - I just finished the 8-foot-long bowtie last night. :D)

    Friday sounds loverly.
    Though 1:00 will be too early for me, how does 3:30-4:00 sound?
    I'm leaving school at about 2:00 and am getting to the con around 3:00, if all goes well...
    I'm sorry I'm totally dragging you guys down.
    We can have multiple photoshoots, though, so we can plan for that.

    I definitely think we should meet up and get some pics together! I also have a friend going as Frank West from Dead Rising, so he'll have a nice camera to take good pics even if we don't attract some press. I figure it shouldn't be that hard to meet in some main area of the Hynes, and it should be easy enough to spot eachother too. Thoughts?

    Hello PAX-East goers!
    I am going to be at PAX East all the way from Seattle, and I would be more than delighted to set up some photoshoots with some of you fantastic cosplayers. This is the DA for my cosplay photography: Minti Fresh Cosplay Photography!
    I am not charging, I am just doing this to build up my portfolio. You can contact me via email at molly.mcisaac@gmail.com. I have a smart phone so I can get emails in real time.
    I will be there from the afternoon of the 25th until the evening of the 29th.
    I hope to hear from you! <3
