    I plan on dressing up! :D Trying to organize a rather large TF2 group, but people are being uncooperative so far. ><

    Haven't been to PAX Prime but I do remember seeing a nice selection of cosplayers on Kotaku.

    Oh ho ho, very clever NotACrook.

    I was asking partially to see if anyone actually was going to dress up, and partially to see if it would be over kill to go as the Witch from L4D. I'm thinking it will.
    Hmmm... perhaps a Pikachu costume will be in order.

    I was going to post this a few days ago but RainbowTunnel's post has prompted me to do so now.

    As with Seattle I will be holding the pre-PAX bar crawl on the Thursday before the convention begins. The theme for the ePAX crawl is going to be Pokémon so people will be encouraged to dress as Pokémon, trainers, and other characters from the original RBY Series.

    Too bad I'm not 21+, otherwise I'd join in the bar crawling. High school forever, man!
    But even so, this encourages me to make a Pokemon costume. All hail the pokeemanz!

    My brother and I are going, and we keep arguing about this, back and forth. Current considered costume concepts are he as a Stalker from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, and I was considering doing Baiken from Guily Gears.

    On the other hand, Pokemon....

    The biggest thing is, I'm lazy. If I'm going to do a costume at all, it can't take more than a week to put together.

    Yay, I'm really happy to see other people are planning to dress up! :D Eh Pokemon trainer costumes aren't too complex...

    Ash - Red hat, blue jacket and jeans
    Brock - Green vest, orange shirt and khakis.

    Can't wait for the bar crawl details!

    Star Trek Online will be out by then, so methinks my Starfleet uniform shall get some airtime.

    Pokemanz, eh? Kinda wanna roll along with the bar crawlers in a giant inflatable Pokeball...inefficient and awkward, perhaps, but totally worth it.

    I would get an illegal ID just to see that.

    For Pokemon costumes I have two I could do: Emo/Scene!Ash Ketchum or gijinka Pikachu.


    For the lazy factor - dont' worry, I won't do anything that takes more than a few days, either. Kitteh has a point: you really just have to go out and buy the articles of clothing you don't already have. It's always nice to see a bugcatcher, too, All you need for that is a straw hat, blue shorts, a white t-shirt, sandals, and a butterfly net. Yay simplicity of Pokemon costumes!


    If anyone has their costume done/WIP'd enough at any point before the con, feel free to post pictures. I'd love to see them.

    I like shorts, they're comfy and easy to wear.

    On the other hand, Boston is cold in March. I'll keep thinking about this as we get closer to the date.

    It's true Boston is kind of chilly in March, but the Hynes is well heated. If you don't plan on going outside for more than a half hour at a time, you should be okay. You can always use the zipper-off pants that go from pants to shorts. Then bring the bottoms in a bag (or pants if not the zipper ones) and change before you go out! Winter Bugcatcher!

    New Harley, of course. Not as much spandex, but about 8 times the sexy.

    @ Rainbowtunnel: Niice. If we meet, be prepared to roll for initiative! You and your friends should definitely go in D&D inspired costumes! Or anime. Either way, honestly! There's a lot of crossover. Anime cons are full of videogame cosplay.

    Dude!/Dudette!/Whatever you are! That would probably be the best idea ever! Just walk around crying and you wouldn't have to wait in any lines, since people would just run away from you as fast as possible! (either that or they might shoot you in the head with a shotgun)

    Hello, just checking in as a cosplayer attending PAX East 2010. It's my first PAX, it looks like a ton of fun. I'm planning to bring Kokonoe from BlazBlue and Ellen from Folklore (default Faery cloak). I'm hopefully part of a Blazblue group. I know it's mainly a gaming industry con, but I look forward to seeing the cool costumes.

    It would be awesome, but with not that many costumes, I think it'd be quite akward as well. So I'm 89% sure cosplaying the Witch will not happen, sorry!

    @RoseRevolution: Sounds fantastic, can't wait to see you there.

    I will most likely be sporting my Persona 4 protagonist costume. Though I'll probably be leaving the golf club at home, or just in the hotel room. Too bad the Sheraton is unavailable for booking.

    Maybe if you got a fake/plastic golf club, they'll tentatively allow you to bring it in? Or a mini-little-kid-toy-golf-club to substitute? I don't know the difference between what Anime Boston (the next weekend) and PAX allow prop-wise, but the Hynes should be okay with you doing that. Heck, they let the anime nerds get away with realistic guns.

    I'm definitely planning on cosplaying to PAX East despite being somewhat offput by the sheer lack of cosplayers. :(

    Problem is, I really don't know what I'm wearing yet. If I can get money and time by the convention, I might have a Princess Agitha (from LoZ TP) or some other nice new costume. If not, I'll be re-wearing something I already have. Probably Marta Lualdi from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the new world

    Problem is, most of my costumes are anime based, and PAX is not an anime event :p (which of course isn't a bad thing, just stating facts.)

    I don't really need the golf club to complete the costume, but I think it makes it a lot better, at least for people who've played the game. I had to check the "weapon" at Video Games Live in NY, but we'll see. Not many people knew who I was there, the Kingdom Hearts cosplayers stole the show as always.

    Only costume I have thats con-worthy is my Snake Eyes, and once you strip the weapons and gear off that its moot. My sword is light plastic but the scabard and tonfas are metal so I wouldn't even try to get them in.

    I'm entertaining the idea of wearing just the mask and visor, but with a shirt and tie. Maybe do a lawyer Snake Eyes. I'm 50/50 on the idea right now.

    This will be my fifth year going to Anime Boston, and I've seen fake (but realisitc looking) guns all over the place every single year. Granted every weapon needs to go through a special line to have a special tag to make sure they're safe, but they're still allowed.

    @Qs23: You're not going? That's too bad... it would have been amazing if you brought your Waldo costume.

    I know this is a gaming con, and I'm using a Pikachu costume for one day, but I'm playing around with bringing my Flapjack costume (which I'll be wearing the next weekend for Anime Boston, ho ho ho). Do you think it's inapropriate? With PAX being a gaming con n' all.
