Anime Boston

Post away, guys.

Sorry I couldn't make it to any of the photoshoots.

[color:red]That's okay... there is always next year. ^^

And you can view the photos and imagine yourself there. Like Raaver would say...
"Close your eyes and imagine yourself standing in the sunlit alcove surrounded by other FMA cosplayers all posing for funny and anime/manga related pictures. It's peacefull and quite... well as peacefull and quite as a photoshoot could be... Then it all ends when a staff member comes and kicks us out because he wants OUR corner..."

AB08 FMA photoshoot [/color]

Or I could just photoshop myself into them.

[color:red]you do have the skillz ^^ xD[/color]

Fire and Ice - good times! ^^

[color:red]We HAVE to do that again. Bring an even bigger group to F+I. It was epic fun for all. Espeshaly when I got my best friend good with the whole 'Happy Birthday' thing. (Her bday was 2 weeks after Boston). It was epic fun for all... and man that chocolate cake was good... I for one can promise that THAT cake was NOT a lie. xD[/color]

F+I did rock and next time will be better seeing how we know how to get there, and hopefully it won't be as cold and windy.
BTW Great photos!!!

BRIGGS!!!

Hey, do you know of this "Alchemist Lounge" place?

http://alchemistlounge.com/main.html
[color:blue]It's in Jamaica Plain.. Google Maps says it's a nine minute drive from teh Hynes.. I've passed it afew times driving.. Never been in though.. Might be a cute place to have dinner.. They have Alchemist Ale &Alchemist Cocktails..[/color]

OH NOES!!!!
ABSINTHE...
Never again.
But it does look cool and there is a Alchemist in Hartford although I doubt it the same kind of place.

Thanks for the good times, QD.

And yes, F&I needs to happen. I need more hangout time than simply drinkin' in your hotel room.

ALCOHOLIC ALCHEMY FTW.

F&I is totally going to be the new place for our traditional "last supper" for the weekend. That was good times.

You are SO going to show up next time Jeni, end of discussion :p Even though our limited drinking time in the room was epic enough.

Drinking and comparing tat's with teh Hawke for the mother f'in epic win!

You know it!!!
We will kidnap...er put you and Putrocca into "Protective Custody" next year for our F+I dinner. It'll be fun to watch you storm the Tower o' Beer with Scar and the others. I think I'll take the advice of "Hughes" and single handedly down a Scorpion Bowl.
:p
After all staff needs time to "sharpen their ax" as my boss puts it.

F&I? Now I'm intrigued... I should have hung around you guys a bit longer haha. I was the red-haired Riza if anyone is wondering. Well, I'll be there next year and I'll be getting a hotel room, so maybe i'll leech onto you guys. I miss you all, you were so sweet.

Althoughhhh I do think we should get a group of people and meet up at the Alchemist Lounge one of these days. hmmmm

[color:red]And next year I will FINALY be able to drink ^^ I can share in those oh so lovely blury memories. XD[/color]

Well, he's got a point, too. Just because you CAN do something, whether it be drinking or whatever, doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD.
And remember, always in moderation, folks. Because nothing can be worse than an at-con hangover - or worshiping the porcelain god until 4 am. *shudder*

Right right, like just because I CAN blow things up with my arm now, doesn't mean I SHOULD...

...or SHOULD I...hmmm....mwahahahahaaaaaaaa

Just don't slap your head like in the V-8 commercials.
:p
I was thinking about the con now that I have been able to finally find the time. Memories that stick out....
Tying up a whole group of kids, Running after Ed and Al at the Panel, Scar running after Mustang at the Panel, the RizaXRoy pic at the panel, Fire and Ice with our group, Jeni's late night visit, J-E-L-L-O, Planning and scheming at Chess with Roy and the Ladies, meeting everyone in person, and about a zillion other things that seem very strange outside the confines of a convention center filled with Otaku who "Get it".
:thumbup:

Agree x9000

To add for myself: The whole weekend going off without one single problem in our group...the eagerly awaited albeit sadly short meeting with Kia...sorry but gotta add in our Sat nite adventure with Jeni twice lol...and the bittersweet end to another year in Boston with good friends, old and new

Ouran Host Club adbduction. 'Nuff said.

[color:red]DOOD! When you came storming into the panel room at the beginning of the case... it scared the crap out of me. It was so AWSOME!!! And being chased out of the room and getting 'abused' was LMFAO. Loved the hello kitty bandaids. People stopped to hug me later on when I still had the bandaids on. lol One person even askd me to autograph thier progam guide where the panel was listed. I felt like a celebrity. ^^

And Royai picture FTW. I love that picture ^^ Epic moment of the convetion.

Oh... and did anyone get a picture of the backdrop? no one posed... but I know a few people took pictures of it. I'm looking for a good picture to add to my collection of artwork.[/color]

I liked the lamp.



naw, it was fun getting to see everyone IRL. and SNOW!! Even if there was hardly any, it made my weekend.

[quote=ShadowWolf]Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Nuff' said.[/quote]

I have to agree.
It's just like cosplay. LOL. So, just because I CAN cosplay some scantily-clad character, doesn't mean I SHOULD.

One needs to be aware of their alcohol tolerance much in the same way they need to be aware of their body-type.

I party because I know I can handle it.
I cover my body because I SHOULD.

-_-
that is all i have to emoticon about that


i wish i could have gone to Fire and Ice with you guys, maybe next year. i wont be rooming with the same person, so i dont have the same restrictions as i had this year.

i loved cosplaying as Angel Hughes, people kept comeing up to me and saying i was making them sad, then id whip out my elysia pics. i need to re-do those... they got ripped. ;-;

I wish I had been able to join you all at F&I. I had lots of fun at the photoshoot and at Cosplay Chess, though. ^_^

Oh, Gaara, got any clue why I can't post to the Bostonian Cosplayers board? It keeps saying "Could not open socket" and then it tells me I typed the words in the box wrong when I know I typed them right. What gives?

You totaly should of roomed in my room... you were witness to the mayham that was the 'rehersal' Friday night. It wasn't just then... it was all freaking weekend long. I wonder if it had anything to do with...

Well we MAY have room in One of the rooms we are planning on getting next year if you are interested. Funny thing is every year our little group here at work gets bigger and bigger. They keep hearing about all the cool stuff we do and all the fun we have and want to be a part of it.

Don't forget about the lamp!!

Lamp? What lamp? What about the lamp?

TECHNICALLY, there were two lamps. But the whole thing started when RNO was taking random pictures of my hotel room wednesday night. I forget exactly what happened, but somehow in the course of the night I got paired with the lamp. Then ditched that one for the one in our AB hotel. But it was TOTALLY worth it, there's surprisingly a LOT of innuendo associtaed with lamps, and the look on Havoc's face- priceless.

you have no idea how much the royster would love you for that. i need to find new roomies, id prefer people that i have met alteast once >.<
if theres no room, its no big deal, but i really appreciate you guys for thinking of me

I would offer space in our room, but that's really up to my mom. That and I don't think you'd want to room with my little man. He doesn't always go to bed when he should and he gets cranky when he's tired.

I want to take my brother next year, and he will have just turned 4. He likes to watch some anime, and I think he might enjoy it. I probably won't be staying over though. I want to dress him up as a little Al, or a little Ed.

Eeeee.... Little Al would be soooo awsome since my little man will be 3 by then and he's going as Little Ed again!

since we are talking about making young children cosplay....
my friend is having a baby really soon, and she said for next year, shes going to dress him up as Elysia for me, and she will go as Gracia. So now not only will you all have to deal with my pictures, but my darling little angel will be there too }:|

It was likely just Dreamhost (our server...) having a hiccup again.

It happens from time to time, but it usually resolves itself in under an hour.

essentailly. im planning on just guiding my friend around with the baby. my ADHD really acts up at cons, and i dont want to be responsible for an actual, adorable cuter then anything you could ever hope to see, baby. :p
the father doesnt want me dressing him up as a she, but he can deal. im also making the baby a -ton- of little cosplay outfits when he gets bigger. and a few little onezy outfits.
i was thinking of making a little mini Alphonse cosplay for him, like the metal one. prolly made of foam... but in my mind its cute. ^_^

Yeah. Or I could dress him up as a little Ed with a coat and everything since I'm going to be Winry. He loves to get hit with pillows, so I'm gonna make a plushie wrench and hit him with it. That will be a cute little scene. Little Ed getting hit with a plushie and giggling every time...*sighs*

it would be adorable at the photoshoot, espcially if we can get pics of him and our little Ed who was there this year. (he was soooo adorable)

the one bad experience about the photoshoot was my Hughes photos ripping, but that means new ones... actually... i just finished doing all the stuff i need for them, they are here right next to me, the amount has doubled in size, and i just need a [strike]victim[/strike] person to show them to... }:|

[color:red]It was epic. Hughes got challenged and beaten by the Elric brothers.

*cought*proof*cough*

It was fun. now I know why Hughes loves throwing pictures at people. ^^[/color]

[color:red]TOO MANY PICTURES!!!! @_@

"Flood! Head for the hills... Hughes opened his wallet!!!"[/color]

They should have a contest. See who can come with the most pictures in their wallet!
