18+ Cosplay event talk.

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 29/01/09, 04:40 am

This is for the discussion of planning a cosplay related 18+ event for those of us who always cater for the younger ones and what they are allowed to do.

So no under 18's in this thread please.

Wanna throw around Ideas guy/gals? It doesn't have to be anytime soon =D So we get a break.

Oh yes. I was thinking maybe a rave? :) Apparently Rain rents out their upstairs room for free (but there might be a drinks minimum or somthing, I have no idea, I've only seen the sign) - Rain is on Lambton, it's exactly the kind of place I usually avoid. I was thinking maybe organising for 'Geddon Friday/Saturday, so we get more folks? Having it at an existing club means more expensive drinks for those that want em, but no-ne has to be in charge of it. And built in Secuity. Would totally need more investigation though.

Having a rave or similar at con's overseas seems to be pretty standard. I'm not interested in going to the VA dinner anyway, though I know lots of people do. I'm undecided about which night would be better - Friday people are still arrving and no time for last minute plugging on Sat, Sat night I am usually still finishing costume (NOT THIS YEAR PLEASE!) and the VA dinner and the judging is probably moved to 10am on Sunday. Urk.

Anyway, thats my two cents.

Sounds like it would be a great idea, though I'm not sure if I would come cos I'm not really into the whole rave sort of thing sweatdrop

I might be up for it, depends on what ends up getting organised. Razz

I turn 18 in 7 days, am I okay to join this discussion? ^^
I'd be keen for a rave or something, in saying that any cosplays worn would have to be super light or it'd be waaay too hot!

It doesn't have to be a rave xD I opened this thread to find out what we'd want to do as a group.

Yeah, should be fine Tahlee-Rae we'll let it slide ;D

Maybe we could do a karaoke bar thing? That could be fun, and I've never done it before?

I havn't done karaoke since I was 15. :) Awesome idea!

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 30/01/09, 11:20 am

Yeah, I mean we want something fun to do, that is for us older ones, but we don't want the main focus to be drinks. We want it to be fun =D

By kyokyogirl. 30/01/09, 12:54 pm

oooo karaoke sounds like fun!

By rayjin. 30/01/09, 02:24 pm

yay go the karaoke lol (breaks out the bon jovi) hell i got the hair for it lol

By iwuvanime. 30/01/09, 02:26 pm

Boya I vote Karaoke....I am so bad at Karaoke (cos I wanna sing all the songs with male artists....*cough*Bon Jovi*cough* but it is too much fun.

I like the idea of an 18+ gathering......it would be interesting.

It's also just fun to go into a bar, get Id'ed and then order non-alcoholic drinks XD (hell yeah no alcohol for Abby for the 3rd year running)

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 31/01/09, 05:51 am

I'm the same Abby xD

Haha~ I do that all the time, you should have competitions to see how many clubs you can get into and then finish the night with as many stamps on your arms as possible... believe me, you'll look ridiculous! Razz

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 05/02/09, 02:52 am

So anyone know of any good Karaoke places?

**Guest** Guest

I know where there are some karaoke places but dunno whats a good one. There's one next to Cuba end Arty Bees, and one at Cuba/Vivian st corner, opposite peaches and cream. I'm sure there are others.

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 07/02/09, 09:58 am

Hmmmm.... Maybe me, you and Shane should investigate ;D

I am reawakening this thread because I know just the place for karaoke, cosplay style.

My sister, me and friends have been going to Taste Of Korea for karaoke for years now because they have Japanese and anime songs as well as English and Korean songs. They've got private rooms and one of them could fit a good 15 people, maybe more.

I remember on my birthday we went there and sung 'Never Gonna Give You Up' so loudly we must have Rick-Roll'd the entire place! ^^

Also, last time I checked, the more people you have, the cheaper it is. It's total win. (Dare I say epic?)

It's on Willis street, so its way easy to get to. Let me know what you think! (But seriously, check it out. It's the best.)

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 02/03/09, 08:26 am

Sounds good, might have to check that out next I'm in town then =D

By LithiumCrystal. 02/03/09, 09:42 am

It really is awesome. It's the only thing in Wellington close to being anything like the Karaoke in Japan.

By Doughtnut_Bandit. 02/03/09, 11:54 am

Sweet, will check it out tomorrow after work!

By jjjawbreakersss. 05/03/09, 11:05 am

YAY! I'm down with that.
OH AND HEY SIAN, ITS RANDY :DDDD

By LithiumCrystal. 05/03/09, 12:19 pm

Yo-ho~ ^_^ I'll see you at course tomorrow!

TK is really awesome. You've got to check out the rooms. They glow in the dark.
