Can't wait~!

[GyrfalconAH64D]

Yep, I'll be there again

[jay421501]

I just got confirmed to take some time off from my job so I will be at Anime Los Angeles 2014 for the entire time and will go on to run the gathering!

[GyrfalconAH64D]

I recommend we have the gathering at the same place as last year.

[jay421501]

I am leaning towards using the lower patio area again just like last year because of the all the open space for the gathering that can be used just hoping it won't conflict with such events such as cosplay chess.

[xiledsoviet]

Sweet! Expect to see a Kaguya there

[jay421501]

For the gathering I may follow the structure of how the Anime Weekend Atlanta's touhou photoshoot format starting with the big group shot first, main characters, then the games, (and if time permits then any requests).

[Amethyst Nat]

Totally looking forward to it! I most likely will be Remilia for it, i'm coming up with a formal ball gown for her, and my friend Alice wants to be Yoshika



Oh, I had a great idea for us tohou cosplayers to do at Ala! how about, a Tohou rave?

[jay421501]

Nice, Amethyst Nat can't wait to see it!! Hmmm a touhou rave wonder how it can work out?? Like having it in a hotel room maybe??

[eBay Sniper]

I shall be attending as well! You can put me down as TouhouVania Marisa.

I can assist in running it, as you know dude. I ran the past AX one, lol. But I have to disagree with the group shot first... Seeing what happened at the AX gathering, doing the group shot for anything BUT last screws things up.

I also suggest 4:00pm, so it gives the early afternoon gathering goers a longer chance to change over.

yeah probably. Not sure whose though, if anyone wants to volunteer. I don't know my rooming situation...


also, do we have any other activities planned yet?

Oh, would any of you like to maybe be in the masquerade with me? or make a touhou cosplay video?

[jay421501]

@eBay Sniper Sure you're more than welcome to help me assist in the gathering any help is appreciated. I'll try to see if I can move the gathering to 4:00 PM I'll ask it on the facebook page as well. I plan to do the group shot to be last thing at the gathering.

@Amethyst Nat I was planning for any other activities like having the touhou dinner at Denny's near by just like last year probably a couple of hours later after the gathering.

[jay421501]

More names added to the roster. (Forum Bump)

[SkyhawkTenshi14]

Almost forgot to post here. Let me remedy that.

I'll be returning as Toyosatomimi no Miko, and if my cape is finished on time, which I'm fairly optimistic about, I can switch between her Ten Desires and Hopeless Masquerade outfits.

I'm really looking forward to ALA. It's been a while since I've been to a con where I'm actually recognized and that doesn't have a BS weapons policy... xD
