COSPLAY CAFE at Auckgeddon 2011?
Post By sakuramiyabi. 15/11/10, 05:32 pm

Hi Guys,

While I am beginning to organize the Cosplay Cafe for Doujin Overload 2011 once again. I would like to know what people think of a Cosplay Cafe at Auckland Armageddon next year.

Do you think it will succeed? Which of the 4 days would be best? Would you be willing to help out? Would you visit? Should there be a theme? If so what theme? Etc.

Any opinions all of them are welcome ★'.・.LOVE~(^▽^(^▽^*)~LOVE.・.・:☆

I think it would be pretty expensive to set it up? Though if you got it on the weekend and your prices were better than that of the convention you'd be pretty set up X3
I'd of course be willing to help 8D

Suggestions hmmm, way more food range than doujin overload (it was nice but limited) and maybe you could offer cold drinks in a fair range too like apple juice and stuff because that would sell pretty well I think X3

I think it would be hard to keep up with the demand of customers and would probably need tighter/more security. :O It's a biggggg project to take on though.
I'm more worried about your sanity, Alena! D:

Unlike at Overload, there's going to be a lot of immature people who only go to mess up our fun. A theme would be great too.

Maybe after Auckgeddon one day? You know, not during the event. So less idiots are invited.

But if it does go ahead, I'd ttly love to be a waiter. XD

A cosplay cafe would be awesome! thumbsup I didn't go to DO last year so I missed out on it and have never been to one. sad I think Comp day would be a good day as many cosplayers like myself will be exhausted from working on their comp cosplays all night and could really use a break with some good coffee and service! nodnod As for themes ... hmm ... Ouran High Host Club? COSPLAY CAFE at Auckgeddon 2011?  352708 That would be awesome! chuu~! whee

Id say go for it, but as it has been mentioned, it may compromise your sanity, and that of your helpers.
You do remember what the floor was like during geddon right? If even 0.1% of those numbers come through the cafes doors so to speak, the numbers will not be small.

This will require a LOT of planning. If you went the whole cafe route, you will need quite a bit of space for tables and chairs for people to sit, and then of course you are looking at location, setup, food, competition with the generic food court.

Speak to Bill/Angela/[cant spell her name who judges and is impressive] and see what they say...

As cool as it would be, it would be so stressful. You would have to make/buy in so much food that you would need a heap of money coming up to it. The food areas are packed all day, every day. I wonder about their hygiene regulations there as well, if they will actually allow you to bring anything in from a non-commercial kitchen. Would you be running it as a stall? I can't see the centre letting you in the actual food areas, they make way too much money off that.

If you're confident, you may as well talk to Bill and co. about it. It will definitely go down well and you will get a TON of people, but the set up costs and the stress level are going to be crazy.

Post By Aikome. 17/11/10, 05:36 am

Chyeah, as almost everyone has mentioned it'd mean more stress and work for such a project but I think it'd be a great idea :`3 especially since Geddon is a way bigger event and that means waaaaay more demand from customers. Also the whole making and buying of the food/drinks, sounds expensive 8`l to arrange; although I daresay they'd be more attractive than the food provided there~ especially if you factor in the whole.. novelty I guess, of it being a cosplay cafe.

A theme would be cute~ animals? (like bunnies, cats, blehbleh) 'cause the whole maid/butler is kinda a given. Or some fandom that is easily recognised.
I reckon comp day would be nice but I guess whatever day has the least events for cosplayers? = more time for cosplayers to help/attend.

I would like to add that it may be very stressful for volunteer cosplayers with little or no waiting experience....

I know I certainly would. D:

You know I've got your back. Though yes, I fear for your sanity.

I reckon the food need upgrading as well, cold drinks will be definitely be appreciated and I suggest finger food such as cookies, onigiri and club sandwiches as

1, there are no competition for these foods and
2, they are not greasy and will pose less danger to cosplays.

The pricing you need to be careful with as well, as there are alot of ambiguity when it comes to small portioned foods.

Security will be a betch because think about it. CHAIRS AND TABLES. AND SUN UMBRELLAS.
yes people will hog them. especially people who want to be stupid.

I make mean cookies though so will be willing to contribute. Sure lots of CNZers will be happy to do the same, as the prices for venue and equipment will be hefty.

This is why I sign as just M. so often ;) In the SCA I have an equally annoying name (Willemyne van Nymegen now try and say that with a proper dutch accent ;) ) and I'm pretty much just known as Mina. M. mdb or Mina, I usually answer to them all ;)

Anyway, yes, a lot of work and it may need some site managerial wrangling but Bill is aware of the issues of the event next year and asked me last night if there were any other activities that could be offered for the cosplayers. So email him and let him know of your idea.

We spoke of the taste of Japan show and how they were able to have sellers of food outside and also the tea ceremony inside (which I loved but I love green tea and moochi). So it may be possible to do, just get an idea of logistics sorted and see it there are compromises able to be made seeing as the target market is not the same target as the general cafe.

Thank you so much for all the opinions and fears for my sanity guys <3 I have half the worries worked out (and my sanity has never been a question Very Happy ). I think ...

Also keep them coming guys! This project is (as everyone has said) is going to be HUGE. Okay not quite so huge but it will be a feat undertaking and I'm BOUND to miss 2 or 3 key points that I should consider. ★'.・.LOVE~(^▽^(^▽^*)~LOVE.・.・:☆

Lol. I just tried to say "Willemyne van Nymegen" with a dutch accent. I think I swallowed my tongue.
