so now theres a new question from me ( I didn't want to start another thread >_< )
where is sign in??
in the short version of the rules it says
"Registration for each contest will be held outside the Masquerade Suite (Room 346) on the 300 level." -
there is still time. all we can do is wait and be thankful that the service is still running. so take a break and remain calm >_< there is still alot of time to get emails out .

I don't know what to say in here but XD cause it's all in the other thread >_<

My mother brought up a good point, people don't really want to be nit-picked so to make things simple I'd like to see it be a room where Cosplayers can gather to talk shop and there just happens to be a roatationg group of vet. Cosplayers for people or even none at all. You could just wander in and ask some random person to rate you and give tips. I just hope that people who really don't know anything have sence enough to say so. I say all that because most people that I see at the Con have very good outfits overall. and this way it's not like someone has to be there to Run anything
it's nice to get feed back.

Providing that space is still there I know that they reorganized the layout of AA for this year too. I'd think morning to like 7 or 8 pm at the latest thats when most people are wearing their outfits.
and something I have been thinking about lately is if you need cosplay experiance to be a 'judge/critic' I mean I think that it helps but in this case it's needed. you need to know how to sew atleast or else you won't beable to give tips to people. and winers of other CC don't really matter either though it would make a whole new faset of the 'cafe' to hav es someone who can tell you how to act while speeking with judges.
this isn't think kind of thing where judges/critics sit behind tables either, we'd have to get up and examin people . you know what i saw someone ask a question about taking pictures with his camera with one those those special flashes. this woul dbe a good place fore people who want to take lots of cosplay pictures withough having to go all over the place.
" Otakon's Cosplay Cafe a place to get tips and tricks for your outfit and a plase so see and be seen. Drop by today!" If you can't tell I've been thinking about this all night XD I'd love to help make it happen

'The Cosplay Critic Cafe' ? XD you know that would be a pretty good idea I think. I've seen talk around from people who have never been in a Hall cosplay contest and since they don't know what goes on they are afraid to enter, or all they want are peoples reaction to their outfits not really to be judged. To find out wha things need to be fixed or what have you, for another time. I think it would also be good for people who couldn't get into the HCC .
It would be cool if it was all day but It might be slow >_< to allow more time for people to really look and say soemthing worth wild. durring HCC you aren't up there for long enough to get a lot of advice (if thats what they were doing). hey there could be a rotating set of judges.
Wow that sounds like fun~ aren't there atleast 3 panels on Cosplay creation? it's just, that aren't panels relitively short??

yeah, when I tried it I get " this file is damaged and can not be repaired"
there is a Masquerade Alternate Registration Form below it. I can see that. so thats what you want to try.
( i'm not actuly entering I can't try the email >_<;; but i've seen a few reports of Otakons email not doing very well with other email providers and sending them back )

Which Costume contest? I don't know much about the Walk on that is durring the masquerade, But I do know about the Hall contest.
as for where and when we don't know yet ( other than friday and saturday for Hall) but how it woks is pretty easy.
All I know about the Masq. is that you line up outside the doors ( ok thats the start and finish of my knowledge)
for the Hall contest - there is a pre-reg online ( eventuly , as it's not up yet) where you fill out a form about your outfit and charater and you. ( i think it's the same form for the open slots at the convention)
then when you go to be judged you get a nice tag with a time. when it's your turn you explain your outfit to the nice judges( how it was made amoung other things , they will ask questions) and thats all ^^
-
Well for people who prereg for the contest there could be a check box to indicate if they want feedback or not. for those who don't pre-reg they miss out ? >_< that sounds mean ._. but it will cut down on how many people ask.
but it'll still be a pain to type them up and send the afterwards.

I can understand why that room is in such high demand it is rather seculded and quiet.
I was one of the two people whowere outside the room waiting since 230pm on friday XD at first the music was welcome since we were going to be there for a while until the second band came on and they were super loud. I mean participating in the hall cosplay contest is a highlight of my weekend and I work all year just to enter it so it was a bit frustrating thats all...
-
well Hall cosplay went well and in a timely manor. but ... It ws in the worst most possible place/ time ... would someone tell me why it was moved from the perfect place it was last year???
Since it was in the same area the rave was held it was a horrid place since, that was the same place the other music shows were.theye were going on at the same time. Making it more than hard to hear anything that was being said by the people charge outside the doors much less anyone else or even yourself think. it was very stressful and confusing.
other than that it was good and the same as the other 2 years minos I could have sworn they took pictures last year ...
[edit] or if some mod feels it's better suited for 'Otakon Masquerade and Cosplay Contests ' forum please move it there, since I forgot it was there XP
Hall cosplay contest

thats the logic part but it doesn't always work like that.
in 2004 the friday Hall cosplay contest was conducted in "Masquerade Suite (VIP west)." i'm taking that direct of my tag from that year and thats why I'm asking where it's suposed to be since just reading and judging from that will not be reliable when rules say 2 difrent things.
