The Legend of Zelda Meetup?

Post by DestinyRose »

Wondering if anyone was hosting a Legend of Zelda Meetup on Friday or Saturday? Me and a friend are going as Zelda and Lana from Hyrule Warriors and would love to meet up and take photos with other Legend of Zelda Cosplayers!

I'd love to do a Zelda meetup. I'm trying to decide what days to wear what costume. Saturday or Sunday would be my choice.

It seems like nobody has taken the initiative to organize a photoshoot and secure a photographer for it. As much as I'd love an LoZ photoshoot/meet-up to happen, I have to sell my soul to the gods of employment to make sure I don't go broke going to AB so I can't effectively commit to taking charge myself.

That said, I'm debating bringing Zant to AB specifically for this reason, so if anybody organizes this, I'll be more than happy to take part in it.

I don't have the money to hire a photographer, but maybe we could try pulling aside one of the wandering photographers at AB and tipping them? In terms of when, it seems like most people are leaning towards Saturday. Is that an agreeable day for everyone? Maybe in the afternoon to make sure we net the most people?

Ravio will be reporting with lots of items for proper heros to use! I'll also be bringing along a Hilda in tow.

In terms of a photoshoot, do we really need to have a professional photographer? Most of the ones we've attended before just included everyone using their own cameras/ phones and having others get pictures for them if they're in the shoot at the moment. There's also the fact that photoshoots draw spectators who always get pictures, so if we have a central place (like a Facebook event page) for everyone to post what they took, we would all have lots of photos in the end. But if no one really wants to run it, we wouldn't mind doing it. We've helped out with other photoshoots before.

I still haven't decided on my final cosplay outfit, but I think it's going to be Zant. Though I don't know if I'll wear it on Saturday; it might be my Friday cosplay.

Hey! So I'm potentially going as the Postman for Saturday (I just found out I can go so I have to see if I can get everything ready in time), if people have time around 4ish on Saturday that would be optimal. There's an Avatar/Korra session from 2-3 PM in the Boylston Hallway near rm 206, so that might be a good location to meet. If no one has started setting official plans I could try and make a Facebook group and spread the word. I've never done a Zelda photoshoot before but I've been to a couple Avatar/Korra ones in years past. If people would be interested let me know!

(I can't secure a photographer but I've found that people just using cell phones and posting everyone online with a specific hashtag/in a Facebook group works well too!)

If someone else would like to run/help run the shoot that would be cool, since I can't guarantee I'll be in Zelda cosplay, but as of right now I could still help organize everything/spread the word even if I'm not in cosplay just because I love Zelda so much.

...Photographer here ^_^

I would be willing to take pictures at a meetup. The catch is it would have to be Thursday, Friday or Sunday since I will be super-busy Saturday until around 7PM.

I'm not a professional but I do have a digital camera. Of course, I will not charge for my services. Tips welcome though.

4 on Saturday would be okay for me! I am in the masquerade with my cosplay group as Lana and Zelda, so we'd have to get going around 5:15/5:30

Okay cool! Yeah it should only be from 4-5 PM I think, so Masquerade people should be good. I know we can't please everyone and I appreciate the photography offer, but it seems like Saturday works best for most, and 7 PM might be too late. I'll wait until this evening to see if anyone else wants to step up or if anyone else has major objections, but if not I can go ahead and create the Facebook event just to get the ball rolling since the con is less than 2 weeks away. Between then, if anyone wants to take over/help with the organizing (if anyone is more experienced haha, I've never done this before exactly but if no one else wants to take charge I can certainly try my best!) or we need to change the time for whatever reason, that's fine too! :lol:

Not sure if I'LL be there for the shoot, but I am really considering my Link costume for Saturday. It's more towards Twilight Princess style, buuut.....I may claim "Breath of the Wild" because I'm not sure if I want to bring my Hylian Shield or not. It has a big metal piece on the back for the handle and strap though it is light and made of fiberglass , while my other round shield has a tiny handle and a total of 4 screws but its plywood. *le sigh* Either way, if you see me walking around, say hi!

Hey guys, so I made an event page for the meetup! Reminder that it's going to be on the second floor of the Hynes in the Boylston Hallway, outside room 206. If you wanna go please RSVP to the event (even if you just say that you're interested!) and help spread the word so we can have an awesome gathering!

During the con I'll be hounding down people in Zelda cosplay and informing them of the event, so if other people wanna do the same that'd be great! I've done it before and people are usually super nice about it even if they can't/don't wanna go, and it's a good way of getting the word out.

Here's the event link! I'll post it in the master list as well.

Hope to see you guys there!

Hey guys, as I previously stated I've never hosted one of these before and I've already made a slight error. There's going to be a Dragon Age shoot at the same location as ours from 3:30 to 4:30 that I missed, so would anyone be violently opposed to starting the shoot around 4:30 and having it go till 5:30?

If not, I don't think it should be a huge issue, that area of the Hynes is fairly large. I understand that the Masquerade would begin around 6, so if people had to head out early that would be totally cool. At this point it would be easier just to change the time then the location, if people are cool with that.

*UPDATE*

The photoshoot time has changed and will now be hosted at 4:30 - 5:30. It will still be on Saturday, and will still be located outside room 206 in the Boylston Hallway. Thank you guys for understanding, hope to see you all there!
