:lol: Was anyone apart of the Rick Roll parade this year (Acen 2009)!?

It was hysterical! I was just walking down the sidewalk along the outerwalls of the Stephens Convention Center, and here comes a group of guys singing to a tune. I spot my buddy (cosplaying as Gohan) singing with the lyrics and I immediately recognize Rick Arsley! It was hysterical! We entered the lobby and started limbo, and then we took the party on the second floor. My favorite part was when the whole Hyatt bridge was echoing "Never gonna give you up." LOL

I believe you can find some videos of it on YouTube if you try to search for it.

So did anyone else get Rick-rolled?

Someone actually lead the group into a hotel room at 5:30am to wake up someones roommates.

It was my room, theyre yet to talk to me...it was totally worth it!
I will walk those Kyoto streets again, and next time I see her I wont be afraid.
LOVE...love will year us apart...again.

I find it important when to cosplay you do more then dress up. You should act the part as well

I just remember walking to registration to work, and I hear behind me a boom-box with the song playing on it. Everyone in the lobby thought it was pretty funny XD.

OMG! That was so fun! So many IRTs yelled at everybody. I joined the line a few times.

Then some people starting chanting "RAMEN! RAMEN!"

Then I threw my Emergency Use Ramen for them. XD That was not a good plan as for that was early afternoon, and I didn't get to my sleeping quarters until 2AM and realized how hungry I was... No ramen. :P

Optimus took a swing at him... sadly, Prime missed... :rolleyes:

You can see me at around 9:00 - 9:30 I'm the guy with all the hair. XP Right in front of the camera, can't miss me.

Me and two of my friends followed him for about 3 hours. Right after the garden rave, we went back to our hotel to get something to drink, and we say him and told him to go down to where the rave was. Then we came back and joined him.

The IRT actually kicked us out of the hall connecting the Hyatt and the Convention Center. Then later we parked the group right behind the photoshoot that was going on at that time and they got angry. (It wasn't on purpose, but he saw Pedobear and stopped, forcing the rest of us to stop behind the shoot.)

All in all, it was epic, even though I never want to hear that song. (Yet, it still plays, over and over again, in my head.)

We need a new song for 2010...

I figure either Scapegoat Wax's Aisle 10 (hello allison) or Skee Lo's I WISH.
I will walk those Kyoto streets again, and next time I see her I wont be afraid.

my vote goes to Skee Lo... but there has to be something better! Something by Journey perhaps... "Anyway you want it"?

Dude! You bring the boom box with "Aisle 10" on repeat, I'll get the crew wound up.

It would be better though if we had some cosplayers from Jet Set Radio Future. (JSRF has the best dance soundtrack I ever heard.)

Hahahaha! I remember chillin in the smoking area by the Hyatt at like 5am fri nite/sat morn with a bunch of us just having our own little party.

then I'm pretty sure someone serenaded the whole song to me and it was recorded! (i think)
If ANYONE knows if the video's out there you should TOTALLY let me know.
I was wearing a poofy tutu, poofy pigtail/buns, and big white boots.
It'd be pretty sweet to see the vid...

Hmmm...

With the permission of you folks that have posted videos of the Rick Roll Parade on YouTube, may I download your videos and use them to put together a compilation of Rick Roll madness into a music video? I plan to remix "Never Gonna Give You Up." Think of it as a tribute to Acen.
