WELCOME TO THE A:TLA 08! THE 2ND AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER GATHERING!

I've decided that next year I am not cosplaying, but I'll try to prepare the gathering... and actually... if any of the Avatar cosplayers from last year want to actually be the big dog, then your more than welcome to. Just PM and I'll keep updating this post for you.

So if you already have an idea if you are cosplaying again this year, just respond! =3

Meet Up Time/Place



Cosplays

[Doggeh]

Oh, score!

I've actually got plans to cosplay The Blue Spirit!

Good to know there will be more Avatar cosplayers.

Eep. Now I really can't wait~!!

[Cherry_Wolf]

Sweet!!! <3

When it gets closer to Anime Central, I plan on posting on the avatar_fans lj community about it, see if there are cosplayers that are going to ACen.

I'm adding Blue Spirit onto the list <3

[PlaneThalia]

My boyfriend is planning on Sokka, and I'm planning on Toph. My brother has a pipe dream to be Aang, [I would have to make his costume, and after the way he treated the one I made him 2 years ago, he'd better act otherwise]

[Cherry_Wolf]

Adding Sokka and Toph~

Tell me if your brother's pipe dream comes true ^^-

[Cherry_Wolf]

I haven't found anyone else, I've been to Avatar Spirit & Cosplay.com... so I am just bumping this, just in case any newer acen member likes A: TLA and may or may not plan on cosplaying from it

[Cherry_Wolf]

Added a poll!

So anyone going to the Avatar Cosplay Group/Gathering, please vote when you want it... I don't know about you guys, but I really don't want the photoshoot to mess with main events... so 7:00 pm on Saturday would be bad, that's the masquerade. ^^; Uh... if we have a concert, it will be 7:00 pm on Friday, I believe... and then Anime Hell & Midnight Madness is right after the concert(if we have one) and a dance after the masquerade.

So... what day would be best for you guys? I voting Saturday Morning, but sometime Friday would be good.


Also!! If you aren't going to cosplay avatar, and are going to come to the gathering, reply please! We probably won't have that many as it is. ^-^U And you can vote too.

[Doggeh]

Saturday morning would definately be best for me!

I remember last year the FMA photoshoot was a bit to close to the masquerade, so I got in line a little late. Anything about 2 hours prior to the masquerade would be a no for me.

So yes, Saturday morning or perhaps early afternoon on that day.

[Cherry_Wolf]

It will more than likely be in the morning, only because I think the Bleach photoshoot(2nd one) will be on Saturday afternoon... and though I don't know if I'll participate in that one, I want to make sure everyone is going to be able to get to their one "things" =3:heart:

[Cherry_Wolf]

Just bumping this up for newer members, if any like Avatar and plan to cosplay it, and to let them know that it's not just for cosplayers... it will be more of a meet-up, so if you like Avatar, just confirm that you'll be there by saying something.

[neomiroku]

that's koo guys, I love that show, so does my friend.

when u guys find out when the photoshoot is, is it going to be posted so I can attend and take a few pics.

also big news i just found out for all the avatar freaks

Speaking of Avatars, M. Night Shyamalan dives into the elements with his adaptation of Nickelodeon's popular anime-inspired 'toon, Avatar: The Last Airbender. He is set to produce, write and direct the adaptation, the first time Shyamalan is helming material he did not create. Nickelodeon hopes the movie will turn into a three-picture series.

Found this on E! news.

Now thats something. He must be a Avatar fan as well. I cant wait to see his adaptation of this

[Cherry_Wolf]

I was thinking for maybe Saturday morning either 9:30 or 10... only because there are a lot of meet ups and photoshoots during that day, the earlier, the better, in my opinion. -

[shirree shirra]

okay we possibly have a prince zuko *josh* and i'm contemplating b/w 3 of zee females.

this is josh n' me for reference: http://community.livejournal.com/egl/58414...420.html#cutid1

scroll down... to see a closer look of his face *not that much closer, sorry* ignore the horrid costumes.

[Cherry_Wolf]

Oh wow I love the pictures!!

So, Prince Zuko(Josh), and you want to do a female?

For some reason, I want to suggest either Jin or Song, only because you rarely see cosplayers of them... but any of them would do... We already have a Toph... but that's the only female we have so far... anything is a go.





:NEWS TO ALL AVATAR MEET UP PEOPLE:

Due to the Hyatt's reconstruction, we do not know if they even have the location I picked out... once ACen has a map put up here, I will see... however, if not... I will be giving you all my phone number to call when we get to the con. I am going to be there Thursday, so I'll wander to see where our meet up use to be and if it still looks the same... I'll be taking my laptop and if I can pick up the Wireless Internet there, I will post something on here if it has changed, if you do not get on the forums on Thursday, then just call my number.

So far, the meeting is planned at 10:00 am... I expect it to be over around 11:30, but if it goes farther, that's cool. I will be bringing two boxes of Avatar Fruit Snacks for all of us to enjoy... because it's so worth it. -

[Doggeh]

Bringing fruit snacks!? Sweet =D This might go down as the best photoshoot I've ever been apart of X3

One of my friends decided yesterday that she wanted to cosplay as Katara. So hopefully, if all goes well, she'll be coming too.

And a 10am photoshoot sounds good to me. I should be pretty much wide awake by then.

Still not sure what to think about Shyamalan's adaption of it. I think I'm scared.

[Cherry_Wolf]

I think most people are frightened... but I probably will go see it anyways, only because it's Avatar, who knows... it may get more people into the fandom *shrug*

And of course there will be fruit snacks!! We all love yummy treats =d

And yay!!! I will add Katara, but if she decides not, just let me know.

[Cherry_Wolf]

Fruit Snacks are a go. I have bought two boxes of them, meaning twenty packets... so twenty people who show up, will get treats. =3

Also, I am going to close the poll soon. It seems Saturday morning is the time everyone choses and let me tell you all, when I mean morning... I'm talking about 10, allright? Believe me, I am a fan of Midnight Madness, so I want a little bit of sleep... and I plan on setting three alarms in my room(my room clock, my ipod, and my phone)... so I'll make sure to be down by our meeting place(which as far as I know is still by the fountain where the video programming rooms were last year)

Which, for a lot of you, if you don't know where that's located... when you're in line for check-in, right after the ecalator, look to your right. That little room(if it's still there) has a fountain in it and a few rooms... that's our meeting place. For a photoshoot, we may head outside, which there are doors to the outside right there. -


So, question I have for everyone who is and wants to attend the group gathering is... Saturday at 10:00, is that okay for you all?

Poll will be closing on January 25th, and the time will be set in stone( aka I will tell RenegadePocky for the sticky on gatherings)

[Doggeh]

If we are expecting more than 20 people (which right now...doesnt look like we are) I could bring an extra box of the fruit snacks.

10am is just fine for me. I'm usually up early on con Saturday's anyway.

And I'm pretty sure I know where that fountain is. I've passed it like...once in all the times I've been to ACen. But I know where I'm going. I just hope things didn't change too much in the renovation...or I'll be confused x_x

Also, I started my Blue Spirit mask today! Yay x3 This was my biggest worry on the costume but it looks like its gonna turn out just fine.

[Cherry_Wolf]

awesome!! =3 You can bring fruit snacks, if you want... cause who knows how many people will show... I'll be passing the snacks out, naturally.

and like I said before, I'll PM my phone number for everyone who is going, so if things have changed, just call me and we'll meet by the elevators, then head outside, if it's nice, if it's raining, we'll head over the Main Ballroom, or even wander around a bit till we find a spot. XD

[Ashikana]

ooooo Avatar! Im debating on either Katara or Ty Lee but Im leaning towards Katara because I dislike the color pink and Ty Lee wears a lot of pink.

[Cherry_Wolf]

Katara? Okay. -

[MaiWithBlackDaggers]

I've just about got my Mai cosplay done, my friend is going as Ty Lee and we're currently cramming on Azula's costume.
I've also got a Katara coming with me. If you could, keep me updated that'd be great. (thesilenttrowabarton@yahoo.com)
I'll keep checking back in here as much as I can.

I'm not too sure if anyone else is cosplaying from Avatar, but this is for the people who are and I will probably have to resurface this when it's closer to Anime Central. But for now, I just want to make a list and see who all may go and stuff.
The characters in italics are the ones people said they will cosplay ^^-
Characters
Aang
Katara
Sokka
Toph
Prince Zuko/Blue Spirit
General/Uncle Iroh
Azula
Ty Lee
Mai
Suki
Avatar Roku
Avatar Kyoshi
Zhao
Princess Yue
Jet
Long Shot
SmellerBee
Jin
Song
Joo Dee
Dai Lee member
Long Feng
Cabbage Merchant
Foaming Mouth Guy
King Bumi
I'm sure there are more characters, but I doubt we'll even have half of them ^^Uu
Also, if anyone is cosplaying avatar, I figured our meet-up could be at the fountain in by the video screening rooms of last year, time unknown yet.

[MaiWithBlackDaggers]

oh yeah. I know where to buy the avatar fruit snacks. Should I stack up on those? (I might have my 2 year old brother as Tomtom too. but mom's afraid that ty lee and I will lose him. ironic...) anything else that I could help with I'd be glad to. I suggest that we do a cosplay meet up on saturday, AND that we have a group hang out. Those are always more fun, because most of the time afterwords you're in a genuinely happy mood to where you want to hang with the ppl. (my Zuko might be going with, but as far as I'm concerned he's busy doing other things. sigh.)

[Cherry_Wolf]

*glomps* That's great and I will update right away <3

I already have 2 boxes of fruit snacks, but if you want to bring some, you can... and if you do, you don't have to share them. XD

0_0 If you are able to have your brother be TomTom that would totally rock and I am sure it would be a hit. ~~ <3

hmmm.... well, our cosplay meet up/group gathering is on Saturday Morning, and I only have it as morning cause I know a lot other things will be going on and people will want to be elsewhere. Though a group hang out would be a lot of fun, I just don't know when would be a good time... for the most part, people get rather busy during ACen... and I know I'll be all over the place, but if anyone else wants to do a group hang out, I'm game if we can all come up with a time and place. ^^- But as it stands right now our only cosplay photoshoot/gathering is at 10am on Saturday.

[MaiWithBlackDaggers]

Yeah, I'll share my food. (I never eat at acen, it seems... wrong...)
Hopefully Mom will let me have tomtom for the day. she's coming to check on me friday.
i understand the thing about having it in the morning. Ty Lee has Acen idol to do (everyones welcome to that if you want to get a laugh. she's going to try and stay in character.)

do you have a set place for the shoot? (I'm writing everything down so I have it early.)

[Cherry_Wolf]

As far as we know, despite all the transformation the Hyatt has gone through, ours is in front of Children's Programming. =3

[dotpogos]

I'm going as KATARA! DEFINATELY! I can't wait!

Ok, I'll have to look for that when I get a map. (have they poasted the new layouts yet?)
(the katara that just poasted is the one who's going with me just to make things easyer.)
