Title: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: danyun on March 20, 2015, 06:17:17 AM: Someone has to start the thread~

Also, will there be a photo shoot/meetup this year? I know there's a FAQ panel, but that's pretty late and I don't think too many people would be hanging around afterwards.

Post by: Quad City QBs on March 20, 2015, 04:21:26 PM: I'm going! And a photoshoot is planned for after the Touhou panel, but it'll be a problem shooting so late at night...

They don't have the events list and it's my first time so I have nooo idea what's going to happen.

Post by: Sixten on March 20, 2015, 10:59:59 PM: For the past two years, I attended Sakura-Con to staff my publisher's table in the small press area of the dealers' hall.

This year however, I don't have any new books to sell, and I'll be in Chicago anyway so I won't be able to attend.

You kids have fun.

Then now would be a good time to check out my photos from the previous (https://www.flickr.com/photos/49796537@N04/sets/72157633122200083/) two years! (https://www.flickr.com/photos/49796537@N04/sets/72157644086236876/)

Hmm, maybe I should prepare a cosplay too...
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: danyun on March 21, 2015, 06:30:29 AM: Oh, sorry. Saturday.
An MA panel means mature audiences only, so like 18+. :/
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: Kilgamayan on March 21, 2015, 03:31:37 PM: Someone please videotape this. 18+ Touhou panel is a recipe for hilarity.

Post by: Quad City QBs on March 22, 2015, 08:55:11 AM: I was at the Seattle Convention Center today and it looks like some people just can't wait for Sakura-Con to get started...

Post by: Mеа on March 30, 2015, 12:03:14 AM: Has anyone decided on any identifiable features? That way I can tap you on the shoulder and then melt into the crowd. Or stick something on your back.

Yes. I will have garbage taped to my camera.
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: danyun on April 02, 2015, 02:36:59 PM: Well, Mai and ~~armored~~ Lisbeth aren't the most popular to cosplay. I don't think tape sticks to wings very well though. =P

edit: Lost my silver spray paint.
I taped a little piece of paper with the point block icon onto my badge. So that's a thing.
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: Mеа on April 03, 2015, 06:48:41 AM: Well I have about 10 hours to make some nekomimi, twin cat tails, and possibly some Nue wing hair pins. Leeet's see how well this goes.

Edit: gaaah they have the official games, I'm so tempted
Edit 2: and Ideolo art books!?

Post by: danyun on April 04, 2015, 02:32:06 AM: Ikr? I almost bought 6, but I can get it cheaper next spring.. But still..
Also dropped $60 on a Sinon and Asuna figure. I told myself I shouldn't buy anything until day 2 but..
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: Mеа on April 04, 2015, 06:02:43 AM: The art alley closing at 6 caught me off guard. I fell asleep at the game room after. I feel like it wasn't a bad primer for tomorrow. Didn't see too many touhou cosplays though
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: danyun on April 04, 2015, 08:34:00 AM: Yeah, only saw Reimu, Marisa, and (of course) Wriggle. Probably more tomorrow tho~

Saw Mokou today. No Lily Black though.
Been seeing more 2hu display today in general~

Post by: Mеа on April 04, 2015, 09:27:34 PM: Yooooooo
This made my day
They weren't even a group, lol

Edit: The Q&A was really random and pretty funny.
But I didn't see anyone with crap on their camera nor anyone with wings, which disappointed me. And I also lost my tails somewhere.

Post by: danyun on April 06, 2015, 02:10:54 AM: Oh yeah, how was the panel/photoshoot(?)?
Title: Re: Sakura-Con 2015, is anyone going?
Post by: Quad City QBs on April 06, 2015, 05:31:36 AM: Photoshoot was good. Panel I had to miss, but I heard it was, uh, about what I would have expected, knowing the hostess as well as I do...

Photos are up here (https://www.flickr.com/photos/49796537@N04/sets/72157651332645810/), all 419 of them.
