SMASH 2011

Oh yeah forgot to post this

KARAOKE SIGNUPS ARE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8D

singing karaoke there is gonig to be so embarrassing lol

^so? 8D it's all for fun!!!!!!

IM SINGING OFF-PITCH OWO)/! WOO HOO KAI~
i wonder if stall rego is open yet ><"
i'm interested in helping owo)/
and i'll help for sure this time along with advertising since its gonna be hard for me to stay behidn the desk in my cosplay.

^michelle has already registered for the club's stall and ordered some additional passes. the main problem this time around is that there's going to be bootleg inspectors at the convention, meaning that we can't sell any items that aren't officially affiliated with the anime/manga companies. (according to SMASH's policies) this is troublesome considering we were kind of relying on otoha's lucky dip lol, but now we're not sure whether that's acceptable since those figurines are not official.

home-made products are allowed though, and all we can come up with so far are bookmarks, plushies, key rings, neko hats and magnet headphones. there was some discussion on the chatbox that if the club couldn't come up with more things to sell to break-even, then michelle may withdraw the stall registration. but we still got a month left and hopefully things will go our way! =)

EDIT: oh! and jesse's shirts too!

I can help out at the store!!!

i can sell my shirts for $30 (or more if the other store's shirts are priced higher) to brak even faster

yeah.... We aren't going to break even.... just saying >_>

I don't feel like giving up yet. *determined*
<.< If I sell the magnet headphones for $15-$20, it will break even if I can make enough stock.
I bought the foamboard for one batch to experiment with.

Hmm at that price its possible but i still have low expectations sorry i just do >_>

BUT i would LOOOOVE to be proven wrong! =D

Can i see sample headphones?

^Don't have any yet because I had to combine several tuts together. It took a while to decide which material to use, most were using transparency sheets but it's thin:

(have no idea where to get it other than from officeworks)

Or they just use craft foam with cellophane- http://rorin25cc.deviantart.com/art/Magnet-Tutorial-157308250

My version would probably look like this, except the foamboard base is completely black (but not printed)- http://dadadana.deviantart.com/art/KaitoxMiku-Magnet-Headphones-152748717?q=boost%3Apopular%20magnet%20headphones&qo=33

Handpainted like- http://tala-grey.deviantart.com/#/d25s0ch

Looks cool except the wire coming out looks a little...

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to add any wire in it.
>.< Can't afford to mass-buy headphones so my mum bought about 10 black headbands and I have some other scrap packing foam and paint it black to make "headphones" from scratch.

oh shet! so pretty much our stall like last year without otoha's game.
VOCALOID ISNT ANIME OR MANGA BASED SO I'LL STILL MAKE EM BOOKMARKS!
magnet headphones - isn't that difficult.... ;A;"

hrmm any certain amount of merchandises we're aiming for?

So pretty! O: need any help mish? I'll try to help as much as I can if I'm not working!

We should totally sell QR Badges that rickroll people or link them to FRIDAY FRIDAY =OOOOO

@Danny: It's alright, I can manage! ^.^ That's what templates are for~

@Anna: Whenever you're up for it! Though I'll probably decrease the amount of plushies I'm selling.

Someone else make the felt cat hats?

Found something we can make. Tarot Cards!

http://forum.onemanga.com/showthread.php?t=112770&page=4

First post has all the pics of (One Piece style) Tarot Cards. We can do that, right?

It's possible but do you have an idea who the artist is?

It wasn't mentioned. Tried looking for them but nothing showed up.

Better if I withdraw that idea till I find out who it is

Hi guys,

I really wanna come to SMASH but I don't know anyone who's going.
I've been to Animania once by myself and found it really boring when you're by yourself.
Can I hang with you guys when you're there?

^definitely.

If you can't meet with any of the members beforehand, you'll be able to find some of us at the club stall and we'll figure it out from there. =)

i'll definately help out with the making once my exams are over. We should meet up sometimes in the holiday/break and make things together.

I'm guessing the stall is definately on?

I tried my best to help out last year but I really dunno what's happening this year. If anyone needs help with anything get in touch with me and I shall try my best and help out one more time! =D

July I'm completely free except for a few shifts at work. So I'm prii much up for anything. July 16 is usually my work days but I just need a week's notice to cancel my shift so no probz there =)

Hi Guys,

It was awesome to meet you (some of you again, some for the first time) and hang with u guys! It was heaps of fun and I learnt heaps from sitting in the panel room and checking out what other people are doing like karaoke anime songs, playing Street Fighter, learning ways to build costumes for cosplaying and even seeing some people crossplaying.

Thanks for making my first smash experience really awesome!
Hope to hang out wid u cool peeps again sometime.
