Convention News:
Well, it looks like Anime Boston is not getting back to us on press badges. It sucks that we missed the press deadline by only a few days. We will have to put that one off until next year. While it might have been really cool to just wander the hallways and do cosplay photos we decided against it. Brandi has been there before and without a press badge it would be really difficult to get into events and we would not be able to film the masq.
That means that our next convention is ANIME CENTRAL! This is our home convention and we are super excited! If you are interested in setting up a photo shoot with us send in an email right away! We are only doing about 2 per day so we can focus on the events, panels and hallway cosplay.
Webcomic: 8-bit Theatre This an awesome Final Fantasy sprite comic.
Time Waster: Alice is dead. This is a flash adventure game.
Website: GIANT Microbes! I don’t know about you but I am ordering Ebola. SO KEWT! >.<
Anime: Soul Eater We have been seeing ALOT of Soul Eater cosplay and finally had a chance to check out the series. Its pretty good!
Convention Videos:
Things have been really crazy in real life over the past 2 weeks. This has put us a bit behind on videos but here is what we are working on:
Anime Milwaukee!
A&G Ohio Cosplay Wrestling
Ohayocon Cosplay Review
Brandi will be helping out with videos starting as soon as I can get her the equipment. That should help us out a TON for getting out more videos.
DS Lite Contest:
Things are going really well with the DS Lite contest! We are about 160 emails right now and still looking for #250 to win the DS Lite! All thats required is that you send us a brief email with some feedback. We have got a ton of good stuff so far and already put some of it into play!
1). Change the gallery so its ordered newest first
2). Do more multi-camera stuff! (People would rather wait a bit for really good stuff).
3). More hallway cosplay! We are going to be shrinking our photoshoots at conventions to only 2 a day so we can do more hallway cosplay photos.
4). Panel filming! We will be posting the schedule for the convention and allowing you to vote on 2 panels / events per day that we will then film and publish (as long as its ok with the panelist!).
5). Win free badges to conventions! We have not figured out how we will be doing this but in the future we will be doing contests for free weekend badges to conventions.
6). Start a COSPLAY wiki. This would be community maintained and will contain measurements, materials and all the information we can get to help cosplayers with costumes. This will be a HUGE undertaking but expect updates on it soon. This will be the ONLY wiki devoted to cosplayers and the creation of costumes.
You have a chance to provide direct input on what you see here! Dont waste it and send us an email! You might even win the DS… :)
Remember to check out our Facebook Fan Page (All the really cool stuff is happening here!) and follow us on Twitter. We are posting all our photos on facebook for you and your friends to tag. I will be adding older convention photos as I have time.
