| Cosplay panelists wanted for Anime North! |
[15 Feb 2011|09:53pm] |
We're looking for people to share knowledge, talk about various cosplay techniques, run demos, etc. Some past panels have been on wigs, cosplaying in a group, cosplaying on a budget, working with electronics, making props, performing onstage, posing for photography, dyeing fabric, and the list goes on. If you have expertise on a particular topic and would like to help run a panel, please sign up! If you know someone who would be perfect for a panel, direct them to the signup page!
To sign up and suggest panel topics, go to the panelist registration form (http://www.anpanels.com). If you lost your password from last year, just follow the directions there.
The full thread on panelist info is here.
Please note that not all panel suggestions will automatically become panels (if there's not enough people to run a panel, it gets dropped, but this usually happens fairly soon before the convention).

| Moderated Membership |
[08 Jan 2011|11:58pm] |
|
So, the spammers on LJ are getting obnoxious. As such, I'm switching the membership of this comm to moderated (meaning I'll approve applicants) to stem the tide. Should fix most if not all of the issue for us.

[08 Jan 2011|05:27pm] |
Can we get couple more maintainers/moderators going on in here and set it to moderated posts to try and regulate things a bit better?
This community has been spammed at least 3 times in the last week and it's getting a bit out of control since we now have porn showing up.
While this community isn't officially run by Anime North, I'm sure it doesn't reflect well on the con to have these posts showing up as frequent as they are.

| Please Help Con-G Bring w00tstock to Guelph/KW! |

Con-G has a chance to bring w00tstock to the Guelph/Kitchener-Waterloo area, but we need your help to do it!
To help out, simply "Like" our Facebook Page here!
What is w00tstock? Billed as "3 hours of geeks and music", it’s a fun-filled evening hosted by television host/special-effects artist Adam Savage ("MythBusters"), actor/author/blogger Wil Wheaton ("Star Trek: TNG", "Stand By Me") and music-comedy duo Paul & Storm (The Internet, Da Vinci’s Notebook) with additional guests based on location! These guys are awesome.
Songs, readings, comedy, short films, it’s the best parts of the huge US conventions all distilled into 3 hours.
Planning is in the early stages, and nothing is guaranteed, but you can help make a difference! We have been told that we need to show there are enough people who would attend a w00tstock performance held in Guelph/KW before planning can continue. Until now, they have only done performances in the USA, and all on the West Coast. We need to show them that it would be worth their while to come all the way to Canada! If we can show that at least 750-1000 people (the size of a US show) in the area want to attend, they will consider coming to Con-G!
If you would like to attend a w00tstock performance in Guelph/KW, please "Like" our Facebook Page to show your support, and pass the link on to anyone else you know that would attend!
If you do not have a Facebook account, please leave a comment on our blog indicating your support.
To learn more about w00tstock visit w00tstock.net.
To learn more about Con-G visit Con-G.com.

Hey gang! Hope you all had a great AN, sad to see it over for another year!
Like a dunce, I forgot to bring my camera this year so I was wondering if anyone could help me out by sharing some pictures with me. I am looking for specifically:
A) Pictures of me, I was dressed in a green/rainbow colourscheme including rainbow tail, green ears and green hair (similar to my icon *points*) if you could post them or email them to me (hawklion at hotmail dot com) that would be fantastic :D
B) Pictures of my "bitey bandanas" (white teeth on triangular bandanas, black was most popular choice of colour) as worn by you or your friends (with their permission to share the photos, of course) - I am looking for some decent shots to put on my website to showcase the bandanas, I would give you full credit on the picture page :)
Thanks!

We have a whole bunch of wigs that need to go to a good home. so many infact we can't even put up a short list here. We are willing to meet people at the con to give them their wigs and exchange payment of course.To see all the wigs we are selling you can Check it out here!

Last year at AN I bought a Vampire Knight day class uniform from the Dealer's Room. They only had one size and it didn't fit me, so I'm looking to sell it.
This is my CosCom marketplace ad. It includes the sizing, price and quality details. Since the pictures of it just hanging kind of suck, I can put it on my dressform for pictures tomorrow if you'd like a better idea of what it would look like while worn.
I'm hoping to sell it to someone in the Toronto/Maple/Woodbridge area, and I'd prefer to meet in person for payment/delivery. If you'd like to buy it, I can meet you before AN or at the con.
