[Stax Kazama]

Ok..I definatly want to go to this. I just signed up.
Maybe I can pull of my Oscar costume by then... Its doubtful though. :/

Anyone else on the forums gonna go?

[DDRFREAKRI]

Well you already know that I am going. Yah I am going as Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas! ^___^

[Darius]

Hmm... I may just... I dunno if I kin get My Alucard costume off by then... but I DO have my Testament costume...

We shall see if I can get the money to grab a ticket.

Woot woot =D

[Stax Kazama]

Awesomeness.

If I don't get my Oscar done (which I probably won't) maybe I'll do a different Rose of Versailles costume..maybe the Black Knight. It can pass as formal and he already wears a mask so I'd be set with that. XD

[Bryan]

Jen and I are definitely thinking about it. We just have to decide the logistics of who we're going to be dressing up as. But if anybody can find out any more information, please post it here!

[Craz]

Ohh, maybe i could pull off a nice Rock Howard by then

[Stax Kazama]

You guys do know that its supposed to be somewhat formal right?

[Darius]

Hmm... Alucard would have to be it then, unless I find someone else I would prefer to Cosplay, cause Testament... not very Formal =)

*thinks to himself* Who to be....

Any Sudgestions?

*wanders off*

[Yao]

i'd love to go, but i don't think i could pull of an easy cosplay in that time

[DDRFREAKRI]

Yah some more infomation. I talked to the girl that is running it Sakurablosom yah she said that she would like the money A.S.A.P. because she needs to make sure that she can get the room. For those that went to Anime Boston 2004, she was Paine from Final Fantasy X-2 she won the award for best Jewerly. She said that she hasnt figured out the desgin scheme yet and also that its gonna be like Anime/Techno/Video Game Music. If anyone has anymore questions just pm me or email me at ECash89@aol.com. Yes it is suppose to be formal, No jeans or anything semi-formal. I am not sure if everyone is required to wear a mask but I think it is though I will talk to her today and ask her.


Someone that is a girl thats going should go as Sally from The Nigtmare Before Christmas.

Tuxedo Mask! Muahahaha do it! do it!

[DDRFREAKRI]

I plan to be wearing a Tuxedo and and Mask because Jack Skellington does wear a tuxedo and my mask is gonna be the skull so therefore I am allset! ^___^

[Stax Kazama]

Just so you guys know, I just checked they site and there are only 5 spots left.

[Darius]

Just so you guys know, I just checked they site and there are only 5 spots left.


Well... as long as mine got in... there ought to be 2 slots left...

Alucard, Here I come. And if not, I'm sure I can make Testament look Formal =D

Now... let's hope I"m not being stupid and mismanaging my money... o_O

-RyAn

[DDRFREAKRI]

I dont think that you are being stupid and mismanging your money this is gonna be an awesome night and very very fun. Well I just need to purchase all of my stuff for my costume now. Everything just needs to be ordered and my Jack Skellington costume will we done and that will knock out one costume out of 3 or 4 more I need to get done. Silver Knight Ginkan, Konsento, Hiroyuki Tokumori need to be done and If I have time Grunty. I will end up wearing these other costumes at Anime Boston 2005 and Port Con Maine 2005! ^___^

[Garrett]

blahblahblah... other costumes at Anime Boston 2005 and Port Con Maine 2005! ^___^

What is this Port Con Maine you speak of? More Anime-Con action?

[DDRFREAKRI]

Yah I have some loads of information about Port Con Maine. Just click this link to visit the forum I dont wanna post it all on this because it doesnt belong in here as a topic! ;)

[Toshiro]

Yah! I'm going! FUNFUN! If your going to sign up sign up now and pull out later because they are cutting sign ups after 2 more people... I'm going as a formal punk version of Arashi from Paradise Kiss and my friend is going as Miwako. Matching plaid is fun! YAH!

[Darius]

Woot. I am in. Time to gather up my $30 to send in, and to start workin on that crazy Costume....

2 spots left, c'mon guys, sign up. This'll be fun. and you'll probobly get to see me as a Vampire... won't THAT be cool?

But yea, my goal is to be Alucard from Hellsing, as the Crazy Long haired one at the end of the series doesn't seem ALL that formal... although I migth be able to pull it off... *starts thinking*

ANyone have any sudgestions on how to pull off either of his outfits? I have some ideas myself, but was just wondering what you folks thought...?

-RyAn

[DDRFREAKRI]

Okay good news EVERYONE!!! The Providence Masked Anime Ball has re-opened and now is allowing 100 people to attend this event. I suggest you do sign up now because if you were left out before you dont wanna be left out again!!! ^___^

[iceymoon]

i signed up, but if i don't find out what i'm going as before the 21st of september, i'm gonna have to pull out. ;-; the only thing i thought of is chii...but that would be so hard!

*goes searching for costume ideas*

[Craz]

I would like to, but i just got way to much crap going on right now for me to pull a costume off.

[iceymoon]

anyone know where to get nice, but cheap, dresses?? @_@; i'm thinking of going as faye in her black dress (from ep. 15: my funny valentine) if i can pull it off by that day!

pictures:

[DDRFREAKRI]

Yah, I did a search for you and found the following places that sell cheap black dresses!!!


http://www.goantiques.com/search/item_detail.jsp?id=484823&source=VYZ4474 - $30.00
http://www.lingerieobsessions.com/longblackdress.html - $39.95
http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&storeId=301&langId=-1&productId=500581522 - Yah I know the price is high $95.95, BUT ITS LIKE THE SAME DRESS IT WOULD BE PERFECT!!! :D ;) :)

[LL Cool L]

Hm, if this wasn't formal I might plan on going. Having to be formal knocks down the list of characters that can be cosplayed, and none of my current cosplays in the closet are very formal characters :P

[Stax Kazama]

Well, you guys could just wear normal formal clothes, and maybe add something to it to make it more interesting (original designs are allowed as far as I can tell, as long as there's a mask).
Salvation army and used clothes stores sometimes have some good cheap stuff that can be altered too.

[Darius]

Hey, now that the payment has been due... and we are a month or so away from thsi shindig.

Anyone wana give a show of hands of who is actually going?

I know I sent in my payment, and Lee Fucia_l33mur, I think she is here, is coming with me.

Who else is rockin this thing out?

*raises two hands, one for him, and one for Lee*

[Stax Kazama]

I sent my payment in so I'm going. I need to start working on my costume and order my boots, I hope they'll come in on time. >_<

[iceymoon]

oh shit, i tought the deadline to pay was the 28th Xx; there's still space though, right?

[Stax Kazama]

Yeah, I think it says there's like 46 people confirmed now on the site and its first come first serve or something. At least that s what it said yesterday.

[DDRFREAKRI]

Yes there is 46 people confrimed right now and I am one of them yeh! Look for Jack Skellington. Yah sign up soon because there is still 52 spaces but they will prob go fast!!! ;) :D :o

[cyan magenta yellow]

I'm on the board of the RISD Anime Club. I'll bring this up tomorrow--some will definitely want to go, especially since they'll have costumes left over from Halloween and the Artist's Ball.

ps - The site's not loading for me.

Yay! Somebody that lives in Providence! :D

[Stax Kazama]

Just a reminder, the ball is this Saturday. ^_^
I'm about 10% done with my costume..I may have to wear something else if I don't finish it. ^_^"
What really sucks is that I don't get paid until friday, so that means I have friday night and saturday to work on it. XD

Yeap yeap! Can't wait meself.

My costume is about 90% complete. We'll see what else I can get done, I prolly won't have my pistols personally, but I think that's alright.

Good luck on finishing yer costume Stacey, I hope to see it this saturday.

[KodokunoTenshi]

Wow. I want this to happen again. Any idea if it will? It'd be hot to try to have one on New Years...although, I may think of just having a kick ass house party here in CT.

[ChibiRinoa]

hi there, I'm ChibiRinoa, one of the coodinators of the Providence Anime Masked Ball. Thank you all for showing so much interest in our event! We will be having one next year as well. Just for reference, I'd like everyone to name ONE song that they would like to hear played at the ball. I am making a seperate cd of requested music. Please keep in mind that there will be minors here, so no explicit words >.< Also, nothing too insanely loud, something that people could dance to, slow or fast. Thanks for the help!
Can't wait to see you all there tomorrow! Keep a lookout, ill be dressed as Anthy from Utena. :)

[DDRFREAKRI]

Yeh, I just finished up my costume after school. The last thing I needed to add to my costume was a Cane. Even though Jack Skellington does not have a cane, I made a pumpkin cane anyways. The sewing of the pants was the hardest because of those damn seams, but other then that the costume is really good. See you all tommorow!!!

[Stax Kazama]

Hah, so I've (at the last minute) decided to scrap my Black Knight costume and actually wear a dress.. I'll have a few hours tommorow to make a gown, lol.I need to get up early to go to the bank so I can buy fabric. I am the master of procrastination and changing minds. XD

Heys! *waves*

As for music, I'd love to hear somethng by Sarah Brightman. ^_^"
Hijo De La Luna, Deliver Me, Figlio Perduto, Captain Nemo, Anytime Anywhere, and La Luna are a few of my faves. (I know I named more than one..I was just throwing out suggestions ^_^").

[Midnight Blaze]

There seem to be at least a few cosplayers here...maybe there should be a cosplay/anime event forum here...or is that too much of a side tangent?

That may be a good idea for the future. The site is still somewhat small right now and its not like a whole lot of people post all the time though. ;_; You could always ask about it in the suggestions forum. ^_^

[Midnight Blaze]

Ok, I will. ^_^

Well, I enjoy , when I'm dancing, some faster beat.... but most of what I would listen too wouldn't fit like, the actual ball room feel I had earlier heard for the ball... but if yer allowing anything... lesse... Neurotic Fish - Velocity, Wolfsheim - Once in a life time (Club Mix), Carl Orff - O Fortuna (Techno/Choral Mix)

I have some weird tastes, but Wolfsheim - Once in a Lifetime even normal would be awesome to hear=)

Thanks, see you all soon! +D

[Bryan]

Hey Chibi, thanks for coming down and posting here. If you ever have more events, I'd be delighted to sponsor them on this site. Hopefully there's going to be a major overhaul within the coming weeks, so PM me if you're interested.

HINT HINT...

[iceymoon]

Hijo De La Luna,


ha, outside of my family you're the only other person that i know of who knows the song. i love the theme of it. :]

as for music i'd like to hear, how about some anime/game themes or j-music? for slow dances i'd especially like malice mizer's "le ciel" and faye wong's "eyes on me" rikki's "suteki da ne" and so on ^_^ for very dancable music i recommend anything by the faint...particularly "glass danse"

[Darius]

I know is.... *chuckle*

I actually very much so enjoy that song, had it introduced to me by my friend lee a while back, but this is completely off topic, so I'll leave it be.

-RyAn =)

[Stax Kazama]

Thats like one of my favorate songs ever. ^_^

I had a miserable time at the ball personally. That was due to a number of different reasons though. I know I wouldn't go to another one.
