East Coast Metal Gear Cosplay Union 10th Anniversary Photoshoot

Post by Darkvyse88 »

*Incoming Codec Message*


We made it everyone. At Anime Boston 2018, we will hold the 10th Year of the Annual Metal Gear Cosplay Photoshoot. I am amazed that this group has grown to this size and we have made lasting friendships through it.


Currently, I am waiting on the Hilton Photo Rooms to open, but I do plan on having the Friday and Saturday Days along with the 1:00pm time for the photoshoots.


Also, we will have our own Kristin Hughes as our photographer to take pictures which will be made available after the con for all of us to put up on our respective pages (always remember to credit the photographer).

I look forward to having another awesome Anime Boston with you all.

Happy 2018 everyone!

I hope your holidays were fun.

Only about three months to go until AB! I have not heard any new developments on those photo rooms at the HIlton, but they more then likely will post them up closer to the con. Once they are up, I will book them.

As a general question, what cosplays are people going to bring? I plan on bringing Phantom Pain Kaz Miller and the Sorrow (the first MGS character I cosplayed as).

Year 10 is going to rock!

Good Evening everyone!

I have some updates regarding our photoshoot for Anime Boston.
As of Monday, the Anime Boston forums have brought up their Master List for booking photoshoots. The forum allows groups to reserve spots on days, times and locations for the shoots.

However, the thread is currently locked until March 1st. This is first come first serve, so I will handle reserving the spots once all information is open for us to book.

In the meantime Anime Boston has posted information on special rooms they have blocked off for photoshoots to help Cosplay groups. While there are rooms at the Hynes Convention Center and Hilton Hotel, I push for the Hilton as it is a full ballroom we will have access too. In addition, we would not have to deal with the crowds in the Hynes if we aim for the Hilton Hotel.

Please see the follow information for room locations, times the rooms are open as well as a map of the Hilton rooms to get a better idea:

Saturn - 2nd floor Belvidere Ballroom
Uranus - 2nd floor Westminster Ballroom
Neptune - 1st floor Fenway Ballroom

2nd Floor Schedule times
Friday- 10AM-12AM(Midnight)
Saturday- 10AM-12AM(Midnight)
Sunday- 10AM-3PM

1st Floor Schedule times
Friday- 10AM-12AM(Midnight)
Saturday- 12:30PM-12AM(Midnight)
Sunday- 10AM-3PM

Hilton Hotel Floor Map Link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ ... b19fb5_0_0
I vote on the Neptune room, but the Saturn and Uranus rooms are smaller depending on if we have extra people sign up for the photoshoots. I leave this up to all of you to hear what you all think.

My next question involves time:
I will keep the Saturday time for 1:00pm.
Regarding Friday, I will not be in Boston until at least 3:00pm due to work. My question to everyone is would it be reasonable if we most the Friday time up to 5:00pm so I can be there to run the shoot that day and see most of you? If not, I can keep Friday for 1:00pm and have another organizer on site and I can run everything still for Saturday at 1:00pm.
Please comment on the page and let me know.
I am excited to for the con and to celebrate with all of you!

Hi everyone,

With the con coming up in a month and signups to start next week, I want to start a poll to ask a question for you all.
This is in regard to Saturday’s photoshoot time. Originally, I had set it for 1:00pm. A friend of mine whom I am helping run a panel with informed me that the panel she needs help on is set for 1:00pm. As such, I want to ask if everyone would not mind the time being moved up to 3:00pm. If that is a problem for a majority of people, I can keep it at 1:00pm. See the link below for the poll.

Let me know and I will make a final decision based on everyone’s response by Wednesday of next week.
