Hi everyone!

For those who don't know who I am I was cosplaying Rinnosuke at ALA 2012 and was only there on day three taking pics and video and was Eirin at both Sakura-Con and at Anime Expo this year.

Touhou Project is a very awesome series of bullet hell games created by ZUN and created a worldwide phenomenon with music, fan-games, fan-art, and of course cosplay!

Yooo!! If I can go to ALA then I may whether go as Reisen or Reimu~! :3

[Enjiko]

I'll be going as PCB Yukari Yakumo!!

[SL3661]

If I have enough money for ALA after buying all the fumos by then I'll might be able to go and maybe be sinsack or something else.

[cloudyheaven]

hey everyone! its the marisa that hosted last years gathering ^^ im sorry i couldnt make it to anime expo this year as planned but i havent missed an ALA since i started going so thats pretty much guaranteed. not sure if ill be bringing any touhou stuff but i most likely will...not sure what though...

[cloudyheaven]

My possibilities include...
- Reisen
- Marisa
- Remilia
- Patchouli (?)

Don't think I can go without at least one of em.

[choxie-chan]

Scratch that... I'm not doing Remilia so it leaves down to whether Reisen or Reimu (I might do a PC98 version of her! :3)

[jay421501]

Just a little update so far we got more probables/not fully confirmed for the gathering but that's ok it is still very early hopefully we can get a few more names in the coming months leading up to the gathering.

[cloudyheaven]

sorry for thinking out loud here ^^; but i think its gonna be either reisen or a revamped marisa (redoing the whole thing pretty much, wig needs styling, getting new contacts, fuller broom, etc etc)

but even though i love marisa and wanna make a better version, im not sure if i wanna bring it to the gathering just cuz i did last time. but not sure if reisen is impressive enough.

[cloudyheaven]

you can put me down as marisa for sure. ive decided that costume needs more love.

[SL3661]

Okay, I'll be going as GB Minoriko and maybe Louise.

[jay421501]

Okay a little update time I would like to hear some suggestions for a site, time, and date for the touhou gathering. I'm hoping for Saturday January 5th in the afternoon timeslot probably in the lower front entrance area since there is plenty of space. This is just my suggestion for now but would like to hear your suggestions as well.

[cloudyheaven]

id prefer friday but i can probably swing saturday if its early enough.

[jay421501]

Another update time I got a few responses to the touhou gathering at least the day when it should be scheduled for. I got requests to have it on Friday January 4th on day one I will like to hear a little bit more but so far this is a preliminary date for the gathering (still subject to change).

[cloudyheaven]

suddenly having grand plans...wondering if anyone would be at all interested in an embodiment of scarlet devil group? and i want EVERYONE from the game...including koakuma and daiyousei.
