Boston Cosplay Ice Skating '08!

    For costumes, I'm not sure I'll have time/moneys to make something new by then, so I might just add Christmasy things (santa hat, scarf) to one of my existing costume. If I'm able to, though, I might try to see if I can find a super simple Christmas costume to make. We'll see!

    I feel a fluffy Fai coat is good for ice skating. >:3

  • I agree with Inaba, I would die if I couldn't go to this event and college won't get me home until the weekend of the 20th. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MOVE THE DATE!!! PLEASEEEEE! I'm a figure skater of 16 years and a cosplayer of 6 and honestly I would just be so happy if I could make it. I feel like the 20th would be kind for anyone in school as finals will be over. Please consider a date change, I will be most appreciative!

    Hmm, if I could finish it in time that is...and make it short enough so I don't trip and fall.

    Definitely an idea though.

  • [QUOTE=niphrodel;2682785]I second having it on the 20th instead of the 13th.

    (((In fact, don't we usually do a poll to decide which date works best for everyone?)))
    Haha sorry, I guess you made one right as I said that...[/QUOTE]

    Great minds think alike. ;3

  • I voted 13th for the sake of the rain date, either date works for me. =)

  • In spirit of today, i voted! :D

  • I prefer it to be on the 13th, since the 20th is too close for holidays.

  • So far the polls look awfully close. Maybe if this keeps up we should have two gatherings? I still personally prefer the 13th, but it'd be lame if a bunch of people couldn't come just because one date got a few more votes.

    Maybe we could even have different themes for the two. One could have Christmas themed costumes, the other could have winter themed costumes. Wouldn't be strict, of course, it'd just add a little difference for people going to both.

  • Two get togethers sounds like a really cool idea. I think the themes sound even cuter!

  • I am happy with that as a compromise... even yet, I'll probably go to both!
    I just really hope this doesn't flop like last year.

    I'm really having a hard time finding fabric for my costume though and its starting to bum me out :/

  • What costume are you making, Crystal Clover?

  • I was going to keep it a secret but i cant XD

    I am making a santa style dress/cape combo but white mage style. I wanted to use white velour for it but it is impossible to find in stores (but if i need red/blue/orange/brown its okay!!) I'm looking for an alternative before i turn to online stores.

  • I would probably go to both ^^; I like the theme Idea as well. I love my Santa hat, oh the holidays are my favorite time of year.

  • I don't know if I'll have time for two outfits, but I could always do a winter one and put on a santa hat for the holiday one. ^.^

    It doesn't have to be Christmas themed. There are about a half-dozen holidays that occur in December, so you could represent any of those. Or, you could just dress in a winter-themed attire!

    Either way you choose, I can't wait to see what you wear!!

    As for the gathering, it appears that having two is for the best interest of everyone.

    On Saturday, December 13, 2008, there will be a gathering for winter-themed costumes (holiday-themed costumes may still be worn).

    Hopefully this clarifies all problems. I'll keep the poll up for the time being, but it'll be removed by the end of the week. The first post will also be updated with this information as soon as possible.
