Kawaii Kon

Top o' thee morning to ya! (or afternoon... evening... :P ) Went to see the 'Experience the Beatles with RAIN' concert by Broadway in Hawai'i at the NBC last night... and ooh yeah... it was totally GROOVY, MAN ! :D The musicans performed smashingly well, and casted an uncanny image as the original B...

Oye, there... just throwing in my 'Two cents'... since no one else has yet... I have to agree, while there are concerns about the ever growing presence of 'Non-Anime' influences are on the rise at the Kon, is a definite sign that what is happening in the once distant, but now ever so present, and ex...

Mep... I still got some of the ol' 'Kon withdraws' lingering in me, so since no one has posted their cosplays here yet... I'll just go and post some of mine from the 'Fantastic Four Days of Frolicking Fun' here... anyone else wanna post their fave completed Cosplays as well? :wink: http://i728.photo...

Well, thought I share this with you all... in the real world where I work, yesterday a really hard to please, hard to deal with, hard to reason with, hard to BELIEVE MY BOSS GOT THIS MENTALLY UNSTABLED BAGGAONE AS A RESIDENT HERE at the apartments I look after, finally, after putting the 48 days not...

@deathsnarehinata: Hmmm... using the ol' reverse psychology ploy on 'em, eh? Yeah, that works on most people... unless they're Jedis! :P As a person who doesn't look for trouble (though, trouble always seem to look for me), who tries to stride for right, likes to get along with everyone, working wi...

ONE REALLY FRIENDLY KK STAFFER FROM THE REG TABLE ... thank you, my dear mate, for the 'Hellos'! :D Not sure if it was me or one of our other excellent staffers(I helped the two of you with kkon 2014 pre-registration after closing ceremonies :D ) but it was a pleasure conversing with you! :D PM SEN...

This past Kon was a blast, but nevertheless... I always end up working on my main Cosplay (or at least, finishing it up) near the beginning or close to the day/ time I have to have it ready for a main event... to say, the Cosplay Theater. Just when I'm about to hang myself for not getting it done in...

One last personal thought /suggestion of character(s) to be in next year's 10th Anni Cosplay Chess:

Get Batman and Darth Vader in as game pieces...

The 'Dark Knight ' and the 'Dark Lord' would indeed awesomely rock tha game board!

I dedicate this piece to him that I drew a few years back, where ever he is lurking. Entitled "kiss my phat ___". http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8100/8588833316_4409089268_n.jpg e101119018 by QQ8080 , on Flickr An old saying definitely fits into this here subject: "The pen is mightier...

and with that what was said by ChaosAlchemist, yea, the stage was rather 'full' and 'busy-looking'... but I didn't mind... since it was just lili' ol' me performing on that stage... Cosplay Stage: Speaking of which, well, only just saying (that is what the purpose of this thread is for... right?), I...

*looking, rummaging through my wallet and pockets* Er... my Library Card ? Uh... I must have left it home... and... the dog ate it! Yeah... yeah... the dog ate it! How I know of this right now? Ah.. my bother... yeah... my brother... how kind of him... he texted me, and told me about it... Yeah! Yea...

Thank you, Faerie! It is always good to see our guardians of the 'Book of origins', not 'kindle keepers', in presence, and maintaining order in the literacy universe! :D My apologies, as I had not the chance to stop by your table this year... I will indeed do so next year... have to... it is the 'Bi...

A very amusing photo article by Star Advertiser Otaku writer Jason S. Yadao on Ten memorable moments of Kawaii Kon 2013!

http://www.honolulupulse.com/sa/kawaii- ... le-moments

PS: Ay! I'm in there! YEE-HAH!

Good deal! The stadium style/ arena seating would do the trick! With the success of the first one, it sure will be bigger number of patrons on the next year's one, and I think it maybe a real special one too... being it will be on the 10th anniversary!

CHECK MATE!

I have to agree with Odie. This happens anytime you deal with the public. Main thing is that the rude guy went away. If he sticks around to mock your work, close up, or call security. Sorry this lesson had to come to you at your first Kawaii Kon, but yeah. People are rude and crude. Which makes the...

Always a good rug cuttin' event... thanx Buma!

Shucks... wanted to show up in my LOTR wizard's costume... might have been amusing to see a bearded ol' coot doin' the Gangnam Style or the Harlem Shake on the dance floor!

@vengeance: I would like to personally say "Thank you" for your efforts up and beyond in keeping the CFAS a returning important asset to the Convention every year! Your dedication ( and Dani's) is admirable, (yes... the look on the coser's faces when they find out there is no charge... pr...

That's just about right: the allowment of participants ( acts) in the CT is 10, so 5 minutes per skit, should things go without a hitch program wise, and the participant capacity is near the maximum amount, that would just about fill up the one hour time period of the event, though, time enough for ...

@Lithium Kigen: WOOOAH... that is so totally AWESOME... :shock: Did you and your BF built those armour apparels yourselves? If you did, crimey... you must have great patience! The details and combinations are tops! :D Yep we each make our own cosplays and weapons/ And it took the whole year to buil...

The first for KK: the Cosplay Chess ... It was fun, and awesome...the enthusiasm was off the wall... the interaction of the many different recognizable characters, both Anime and non-Anime in one gaming event was very amusing... example: Superboy vs.Ichigo??? The energy emitting from the audience ma...

If I'm not mistaken, it is going by the number of Kons we already had, not by the years... So, aye... if you are counting 2005/ year one, the first con, then 2014 next year is the 10th convention of KK... 10 conventions altogether... it's kinda weird because the count started midway, at 2005, instea...

@Q_o: (POI: is that really your online name?) What you have experienced is an everyday thing that happens to everybody, I'm sure if you ever worked at a fast food joint, or even heard, while in a line to the order counter, there's at times a disenchanted person who will be a real fussypuss about so...

what I liked and remembered of KK 2013 , is: The reunion of old friends : who I always look forward in seeing again... :D The awesome Opening Ceremonies music video! (to be honest, I missed the video itself, but thankfully of dedcated fellow Otaku members, I saw it in it's entirely on YouTube!). Dom...

Well, another kon has come and gone, but to leave me with some awesome and wonderful memories of a Anime experience only a true Otaku fan could ever love... yes indeed... Now back in the real world, doin' the ol' residental management duties, I only can recall moments in this magical world called KA...

fyyhr , you gaming Ninja hound... don't go deleting yourself from us! I agree with harold , and in adding: Just show up, and hang with the Otaku buds on the concourse... at least you're not missing all of the action! :!: Wish I had an extra pass in hand for you... but you could try to find someway ...

As we get closer to the convention, I was planning to submit the Cosplay theater app in person on March 16, 2013, Saturday , the day the Pre-auditions/ pre-screening was set for, but I checked again on the online app that it was to be submitted on March 8, 2013 , last week Friday , along with the au...

Well... this is it... thee countdown to KK is beginning with the first working day of the week... 'Manic Monday' alerts me to my senses... even though I don't have any, due to the numbing of my mind by what I still must do and prepare for... 'Testy Tuesday' aggervates me because I'm still working......

The deadline for this photoshoot has 'lapsed... so now it is only to be an unofficiated scheduled GT (not scheduled in the KK 2013 handbook)... If anyone is still interested, or even just curious (please post here in consideration to the participating cosers), the favored time and place to have the ...

YO! Since the con is not too far away, I thought I revive this hea thread, and post my latest "fast track Cos/ Prop Project"... my LOTR Gandalf hat! :) It's one of the few non-Anime cos or props I made in a short time: less than 3 hours! That may be not be short by some standards, butwhen...

@ValkyrieMissile: thanks for the quick response, indeed, running a convention is not at all an easy task, but should be a labor of love, that is why it is a blessing to have staffers who are not only dedicated, but having a strong and even powerful faithfulness/ desire to make the convention ever s...

The schedule is mostly solidified. Only extreme issues will cause movements at this point. As for an the Animega Mix Dance Off, we will not be having it this year. If we can get more than the same three groups to enter, we will bring it back. Due to the fact that very few people are interested in e...

Pretty kool! There are alot of new stuff, as well most of the returning panels and events. Always neato!

Though... the schedule is still "Tentative"... not quite solidified yet, is it?

So, just asking:

Still or no Animega Mix Dance Off this year... or ever?

Oh, boy... here we go again... Just finished doing a Cosplay/Costumed appearance at Kipapa Elementary School last night, and it was fun (not as a Cosplay character, but as Gandolf from Lord of the Rings for... what else? The Lord of the Rings ring toss. I told the kids and everyone insisting that my...

Whats in the arcade?? Well you will just have to come and find out. :D Hopefully I will have a complete list of games a...

Hey there, Darksiders! I know this maybe alittle late to post at this time since the Kon is fast approaching, and this kind of Cosplay takes some time to make and come up with, but I'm just wondering if anyone out there is interested in dressing up and showing their "Dark or inner rebel side&qu...

... And another! http://youtu.be/H3m7sYXbczI This music vid was an idea in the making to be composed at our own con, but never did took off... myself and a small crew was going to film it last year, but everyone had other projects, so it was put on hold. At this point in time, it's still in the hold...

Yeah! DUCK HUNT! I love it when you start to suck as it gets harder to hit the ducks, and the hunting dog comes out to snicker at your epic fail! :P I still got mine, and so far, it works as good as it was first bought... Aye, old school games do rule! 8) If these games and consoles were back in pre...
