hey everyone!

Since it rained last Sunday, we’ve moved the shoot to this Saturday. Same location and time, just Saturday the 31st instead of Sunday the before now.

Remember to bring your costumes and your cameras! It’s gonna be fun.

If you’d love to cosplay in a Parade, this is your chance! Anime @ Large (us) has been invited to join Hal-Con on their walk through the Natal Day Parade in Halifax.

Here’s all the information you’ll need to join in!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HAL-CON is entered into the 2010 Pepsi/Chronicle-Herald Natal Day PARADE and we want to make it memorable! We have the use of a Parade Vehicle donated from Steele Ford Halifax for those who cannot walk a long way (The Parade Route is just over 3 miles, or about 4 km long), and we will have water on hand. We need as many people in costume as we can get! — any costume style genre age, and no minimum or maximum amount of costume n…eeded – we assume Rain or Shine! Scheduled / Official Start Time is for 10.00 am.

Entries and Participants to “gather in Marshalling area of Duffus Street and Novalea Avenue not before 8.00 am and not after 9.00 am” — We will want to be there for 8.00 am pretty pls!, in order to assemble in our parade lineup Order-Of-Go Spot and dress up the Truck – can anyone bring along green, white, black balloons and string??? These are HAL-CON’s color scheme and would really spruce up our Entry, and make for better pictures! If you can’t make it, please tell others who live close to the Event who may be able to.

As per HRM Parade Event Safety / Liability Regulations — pretty much the usual cover-our-butts kind of stuff — No one can get on or off a Vehicle or Float while in motion. No Candy or other objects to be thrown from floats or vehicles. Items can only be handed out by walkers. No balloons to be released; no water balloons or pistols, etc.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE LOOKING YOUR SCI-FI FANTASY BEST!!!!

Shoot #7: Dartmouth Harbourview Walkway

So here’s how we do this thing. Every month we meet at a different location within the HRM. You can come dressed in cosplay or not, or you can come with a camera or not, it’s your choosing. Once there, those with cameras take pictures of those in cosplay and afterwards, they post them on Facebook. Once there, the pictures can be voted on. What for you may ask? We’re doing a group calendar for 2011, w00t! Sound like fun?

Sometime probably late December 2010 we will be putting out the Calendar to be ready for the new year Awesome huh?

Location this month: DARTMOUTH HARBOURVIEW WALKWAY. We’re meeting near the main entrance of the NSCC Waterfront Campus, then making our way down to the trail which is down the hill on the other side of the campus facing the harbour. For those traveling by bus, just like last month, take the #60 from the Bridge Terminal, only this time get off on Pleasant Street at the stop for the campus (which you’ll see on your right).

Here’s the map: map!

If you think you might be late, we’ll be waiting at the meeting place from 1:00 PM until 1:45 PM before we start the shoot. If you’ll be later than that, please contact Marsha or Trevor so we can give your our phone number and so you don’t get lost.
