We usually go to a place within walking distance. I think we actually went to IHOP last year =P

I'll definitely want to help though Bleach cosplayers always seem to be really cool people. Just let me know if there's anything I can do

I'll add you in, and thanks for the offer! I'll try not to coincide with the Vocaloid gathering (or for that matter, any other bigger gathering), but I can't promise anything yet.

Added! XD (And of course, thanks tremendously for the help both last year and theoretically this year)

We ended up at the Denny's up the street. We were going to go to either the Ihop or a Subway (I don't recall which) but we ran across a Denny's first and just stopped there. XD And to answer your question, Britchan, mostly it's just about the pictures, but as Simpbass said people tend to then wander over somewhere to eat/chat/get to know each other, and usually make some friends that they hang out with over the rest of the convention.

Personally I met Simp and then a group of Grimmjow/Fem!Grimmjow/Stark/Ichigo that I ended up wandering around with and actually still know and see occasionally!

Apologies for the bout of silence, btw, I got hit with all the January silliness. Writing and work and a new boyfriend and all sorts of things.

Hey there!

I'll be going as Grimmjow again this year.

I was part of that large-ish group of assorted characters last year, but I believe it's going to change a bit this year. I know there will be an Ichigo and Ulquiorra. There may also be a Matsumoto and Urahara. But I'll update you as I find out (I don't think any of them have Cosplay.com accounts).

A few years ago, when this gathering was huge, it was pretty much all about pictures. Now that it's quite a bit smaller, it's still mostly about pictures, but we spend more time actually getting to know each other. Getting food at Denny's was the big one last year, but games would be a hell of an idea this year! Maybe we should bring some... (things like Twister pop to mind)

I was thinking games and stuff too. But I didn't know...
I met this one girl at the vocaloid gathering last year and we spent the rest of the con together. That was my first Anime Expo, too. I would LOVE to make more friends like her, I've even set up a cosplay group for 2013

It's a shame this group's getting smaller, but it's kind of like town vs. city. You basically know everyone in the town, a city, however.... Smaller is just better for making friends and really getting to know people

Ah, yes, I remember your group. The Grimmjow that looked like John Barrowman... see, I pay attention! Let me know when you finalize the last two, and for the moment I'll add you, the Ichigo, and the Urahara to the list.

Oh god... Twister? XD That would be psychotic.

Well I'm not in possession of many stereotypical party games, but if anyone wants to bring them (and we have time left over - which is likely) I'm happy to play. In fact... let me add that to the front page, along with the inevitable walk over to Denny's or someplace similar, so we can have some semblance of a plan. (What? I like my plans )

And of course, there are always games we can play without actual physical board games. Ninja is always a fun one!

[simpbass]

lol. thats right. I went to IHOP w/ my roommates later that day. =P

[vagabond1992]

you can most likely count me in as kenpachi

[Black_The_White]

All this talk of how the gatherings use to be huge..how depressing. But I'm also one of the people who used to attend during its larger more popular days. I also was the gathering host one year..BUT ANYWAYS.

I didn't do a Bleach cosplay last year, but it seems my friends are expressing interest in doing something this year.

We'll see how things go with how other gatherings play out, but if there is no conflicts, then I'll probably show up as Hiyori. With a Nanao and Matsumoto.

Also, food after is always a good idea.

[zeldasphere]

Hello everyone, I'll be going as Rukia Kuchiki, and my boyfriend is going as Bankai Ichigo.
