Hi there, I had a masquerade question. I didn't realize there was a pre-reg until last week and I'm super worried that all the walk-on slots will be full when I get there because I can't get to the convention until Friday. Do you know how quick those usually fill up, or is there any way we can register in advance? Our costume is MASSIVE and super-cool and I'm seriously really paranoid we won't be able to get into the masquerade!

you dont need to be in the costume when you register
so if you run up and sign up right away
you should be ok

we massive cosplayers have to check with saber
because it may be hard or impossible to get on and off stage while in them
he have worked with massive cosplays before and you should be ok
pm saber for more details

and i cant wait to see ya there
he keeps all the huge cosplays in an area
we have so much fun
GL!

Massive emails to all pre-reg folks have been sent. If you can't make it (had 1 walk-on drop today), IT'S OKAY! Just let me know -- I have folks in the wings to take skit slots!

Thank you very much for the email! I did have one quick question for clarification - when we check in at the Masquerade office, is that when we get judged? Or is a judging time set up? I've never been in ACEN's masq before so I wanted to make sure if I needed to be all dressed up at that time.

Thanks!

Craftsmanship judging occurs during set-up for the masquerade and during the masquerade itself so that we minimize impact on your con experience. Performance judging (skit and walk-on) occurs during the masquerade itself

Ohhhh so the check in is more of "hey, I'm really here, and yes, I'll be at the masq" kinda thing? A place to get all the nitty gritty info, timing, places, etc, I'm sure.

Sounds lovely!

Precisely: "I'm here. I'll sign a document noting that people are going to take my picture. I'm supposed to be where when?"

I just wanted to know what time the masquerade office opened for late registration Friday, me and my friends would like to get there as soon as possible

Also in regards to a previous post, we have a very big costume (over seven feet tall) so just a heads up to Sabre I guess? We will be needed help getting it on stage... Assuming we get to the pre-reg in time to get in -crosses fingers-

Man if I cant get in this years masq next year I am going to send that entry and spam attack you with it to make sure you get it that time, thats why they call me the germ as a nickname.

[Millions_Knives]

if ya cheack in around the beginning of the year you should be ok

[manga1]

Well I did this year but I think it got lost when I sent it. I signed up after I registered for the con and that was before second tier cut off. It makes me mad really, since I really wanted to do competition at a big con, it would have real meaning to my performance while I am having fun if I could win here.

So if I understand correctly, we can show up for skit review during any of these open hours? Also, for skit review we do not need to be dressed in costume? I read that there are two masquerade offices, which one would we go to for skit review/check-in? Thanks!

1) There is only 1 masquerade office (Limburgh -- I spent time there today). There is also a Hall Cosplay office but that is different.
2) For skit review, you don't need to be in costume. Bring big/important props (it helps).

Will do, thanks.
