I would like to call an interim meeting for Sunday, February 28th at 7pm CST.

Topics will include:

• Finalizing attendance & bugging people to come
  
• Room updates and confirmation (TronPaul's Suite)
  
• Community Fund
  
• Cosplay, group or otherwise
  
• Hofbrauhaus
  
• Any other items to bring forward (please comment below)
  

Attendees:

• If you are attending; or
  
• If you are thinking of possibly, maybe attending
  
• Dongs
  

Location:

• Mumble

Our emphasis at this stage (still early, but not too early) should be on intensifying our recruiting of members, which to my knowledge hasn't really happened. It is never too early to discuss fundraising for the community fund. This is also a good time to talk about cosplays in greater depth, as I perceive that our organization is still nebulous there.

Probably no need to discuss finer logistics (party, events, travel) at this stage--that should be saved for March or April.

uh yeah cosplays, I've finally started working on mine again!
group smash bros still a thing? I know Pixels is making a thing, I am making a thing, Caff is making a thing (?)

I'm not too sure I'm going to do a costume this year. I had initially intended to, but it hasn't happened yet. I had way more fun partying this time, I wanna do that again more.

-chanting- cosplay cosplay cosplay

I'm primarily focusing all my money and attention on my Saturday cosplay at the moment (as it's the biggest and have a shitton of parts to it), but there is stuff happening for the other ones!

Also, I'm interested in learning some more about the party on sat--finally hitting the big 21 in a couple of days!

[HeK]

I really don't have any ideas for any future costumes.

What's a 6" 30 year old white guy who needs glasses and doesn't want to shave to dress as?

And no fur suits.

Surplus military fatigues, do the guy from GATE

New stuff I'll have is Link and Nishiki

[Pixels]

For the tentative Chicago trip on Thursday, what's usually the favored destination? I think a visit to a beercade like the Emporium on Milwaukee would be pretty rad!

I was actually thinking of that yesterday. I won't find the correct fatigues here, maybe online.
Otherwise it's easy stuff to make.


Only problem is the beard and glasses....

Hi my name is whendilin and i'm not dead and i  have cardboard donnie and i will be attending acen this upcoming year i have bought a badge andstuff. On a serious note I will be joining. I edited myself in the attendance excel sheet for Thursday through Sunday, which is when I think i'll be able to high five all y'all. I'm going to try to bring Greg again this year, maybe even Brandon (for those who remember them). Feel free to message me...somehow... and i'll bring whatever is needed + alcohol. I'm going to try to get a bit more active on group me or whatever.
