along and witness these creations being built or listen in to our
special running commentary and history of the Gundam. Creations will
then be judged – by you, our audience – so builders must be able to
justify, explain (and bonus points for demonstrating) the features they
have invented.

“Scavenger Hunt”
Track those pesky anime
characters throughout the convention for plunder! If you’re up to the
challenge, grab a camera or team up with someone with a camera, pick up
a sheet of who (or what) you’re tracking down and get on the case. When
you’ve spotted everything on the list, head back to where you picked up
the quest brief with photos of the character, location, prop or wild
goose that we have sent you to discover and (if successful and quick),
claim your reward. Please note: you will need a digital camera to join
in the fun. Stay tuned for where lists can be retrieved and reclaimed
and at what times.

How about a mass cosplay exodus to Poppa's pizza? 8D

By **seraphik**. 15/03/10, 01:46 pm

b-but poppa's is soooo expensive ;A; the good thing is, there's a place to get bubble tea right next to the castle complex lmao. 8D

By RainbowMoonDust. 15/03/10, 01:47 pm

But shouldn't there be food being sold at the event anyway like stalls and vendors etc? :think:

By kmlo2. 15/03/10, 01:49 pm

@ seraphik: Formosa bubble tea is kinda lame though...cheap but lame. 509 is better. Plus I get a free add-on with my OUTSA card 8D

@ RainbowMoonDust: I think cos it's a lecture theatre there might be restrictions on food and stuff...but you never know.

By RainbowMoonDust. 15/03/10, 01:51 pm

@Lucy Was food being sold there last year?

By kmlo2. 15/03/10, 01:53 pm

NZAE isn't at the same place as last year. And no there was no food at the town hall either.

By **seraphik**. 15/03/10, 02:06 pm

i think the formosa stuff is better than the rest of dunedin... plus i speak to the owners in chinese. 8Db THEY'RE SHO LOVELY.

yeah like was said above i highly doubt they'll let food in their precious ~*castle theatres*~.

By kmlo2. 15/03/10, 02:07 pm

Whatever floats your boat I guess. And yeah the Castle and Burns folk are real anal when it comes to messing up the theatres....

By IcyRose. 15/03/10, 05:29 pm

Yeah, no food being sold at the venues because well, this year it's at a lecture theatre (I still have no idea how it's going to fit everyone) and last year, it was in a small branch of the town hall. However there are places that sell food not too far from the uni.

I mean, I can count like 4 places that sell food just across the road

By Basaka. 15/03/10, 10:27 pm

Well, its in an uni, and there is ALWAYS food around the campus.

By kmlo2. 16/03/10, 03:10 am

Castle complex probably won't fit a lot of people unless they're sitting in the theatres... But we can always overflow out onto union lawn and possibly the link.

I assume Formosa is the name of the shop? 8(

I just died a little inside when you said it bubble tea was lame... ;A;
