You know thinking about what Shadow Saber said in the DragonCon thread I think we should have a few Pack members dress up and have a parade here too!!
I am so having a costume for A-kon

Scott Gardener · Post by **Scott Gardener** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 8:37 pm

I'm game. Shadowsaber's making my costume for A-Kon.

It's the first and largest Anime convention in North America.

Silver, the screenplay writer for Freeborn, is one of the high ranking staff members under president and founder Meri Davis, and as such she and her husband, our resident celebrity Anthony Brownrigg, appear there annually and get to make a big splash. Last year, Red Victoria premiered there, and was even finished there on the spur of the moment, on the spot, when a scene turned up missing. Brownrigg and Silver (who technically is also Brownrigg, since the two are married) have a booth station for Cashel Entertainment, where they show off among other things the Freeborn teaser. The year before, it premiered there at their station around the same time as it first appeared online. Their station also has been a central meeting point for Pack members. Figarou lived there. I think he still owes the Brownriggs some rent.

I remember first going to A-Kon back in 1993, when it had about 500 people attending. Now it's got over 10,000 registered attendees and occupies the largest hotel and convention center in Texas, a state known for bigness. It's a huge production, and it's a lot of fun.

Are you serious Scott? I have tried to contact Shadow Saber on this and she never says anything to me

Well it doesn't matter I am going to make my own. It's probably cheaper if I make it anyways

I had to pester her for about two weeks, but after that, lines of communication were pretty good. Try sending a note via DeviantArt. Here's her site:

Word of warning: be ready to spend money. She's a Cadillac of the fursuiting world, and she's priced accordingly.

You..in a werewolf costume?

WHOA!!!

More duckies, I will bring!!!

I'm soooooo going to toss them at you!!!

Sure wish I didn't sweat so much. I'd be wearing a custom made "Figarou" costume myself. (Gotta have it made 1st.)

I was wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt and STILL managed to work up a sweat in an air conditioned building!!! There is to much going on and lots to see there. Its possible I can get heat stroke if I wore a costume there.

No need to bring water because they provide plenty of it. And I DO exercise. So does my brother. He lifts weights and works up a big sweat.

Yeah, I learned the fun way that the nice people bring you water when you colapse on their floor!

Yeah surprisingly I have noted her twice already on DA and also I have PM'ed her and then I wrote twice to her on the front page of her DA and still nothing..

I am going to do what Pariah is doing.Like I said it would be cheaper. She showed me a great fursuit making website so I am going to go for it

I am looking for materials now so I can make sure I'm ready for next year

PariahPoet · Post by **PariahPoet** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 2:50 pm

Yep, yep,I can show you a few tricks for making it.

Here's the sad news. I'm not sure if I'm going next year or not. I WANT to. But last year was nearly a total fiasco as I almost got fired for my antics to get five days off in a row. (One to many late days, so I was a hair away from termination.) I fear that I might end up with a costly plane ticket, and get stuck at work. Total waste. Until I'm sure that I can get the time off next year, I'm not buying the A-Kon 18 admission ticket. *sigh*

My plans are to have two more Halo props finished, and have me and two buddies dress up like marines. Easy and comfortable costume, with a detailed prop. Nice combo. Even if I don't attend, I'll still finish those props.

Scott Gardener · Post by **Scott Gardener** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 7:39 pm

I really hope you can make it.

Kaebora · Post by **Kaebora** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 7:42 pm

Thanks Scott. I hope so too.

Teh_DarkJokerWolf · Post by **Teh_DarkJokerWolf** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 1:07 pm

Ditto Scott. You just gotta be there!! It's terrible how some Bosses are

I'd love to see them props too

Teh_DarkJokerWolf · Post by **Teh_DarkJokerWolf** » Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:23 am

Last day to get a 3 day registration for A-kon!! If you haven't gotten it yet do it guys!!

Unless you want to pay $35 everyday at the door

Also who is intersted in me bringing this next year?

http://www.entoutlet.com/getproduct.asp ... 0000696301

The price has dropped more since then so I can get it and the Gamecube by then I believe
