SMASH! Con Report

Wah, it was a long day, but a very enjoyable one at the SMASH! convention. Our main objective was to sell self-made animanga merchandise, but we cosplayed as well, to attract customers XD (most cosplay photos of us are at the bottom of this entry!)



After getting nearly zero hours' worth of sleep the previous night, the two of us and Meeko woke up at 7am to get ready, so we can arrive at the convention at 9am. Being us though, we still managed to be late by 15 mins. However when we hurriedly rushed up Anzac Parade and towards the Roundhouse, we saw that the line for the entry was already building up, despite doors opening at 9:45am. Crazy! We felt a little dorky in our Death Note cosplay costumes, walking past them with a suitcase, a board display and a huge Myer bag (containing display stands).

At our table, we quickly set up, and was lucky to have the super nice and super cool Kurimja as our neighbour ^_^


Our stall! Your Harmony and Silver are being all IC.


Pin badges.


Hand-made One Piece plushie badges ^.^


While we were setting up (as well as shortly afterwards), we were also visited by [info]ceestar, [info]theprerogative, [info]glorfindel, [info]ravient, [info]souseki_naora, [info]tsubakichan, [info]cattypatra and [info]sunset_swish (and we also met [info]nerdygridbug later on in the day! ♥). Although all of us didn't get to chat much (I guess we were all busy with our respective jobs at the con), it was awesome to meet and talk to you guys.

Pretty soon, doors opened and people started filing in. And boy, did the venue get crowded! There were some really cool cosplays, and this time it was handy as the cosplayers came to us instead of needing to walk around and chase them down for pictures.

[info]rayfy, dressed as himself, who was our unfortunate slave of the day, getting us food and drinks. Thank you so much!!!


As the day wore on, we managed to slip away from our table a few times to check out other stores and such, and make a few purchases of our own :D Eventually, as the cosplay comp finished and the crowds died down a bit, we decided to take a few random pictures of ourselves. Beware of dorkiness 8D


Our Cosplay!

Meeko as Misa Misa, Harmony as Yagami Light and Silver as L :)



In our 'standard' pose. Picture taken by bubby


Reading yaoi doujinshi 8D. Picture taken by [info]ravient.

"Come! Join the investigation!"


Our failed attempt at doing this.


Misa and a very unwilling Light. Really, he likes L.


Um, yes.


Stuff that Silver bought on the day =D Harmony the cheap-ass didn't buy anything.


So after the cosplay results were announced, we decided to start packing up.

Thanks to everyone who came and visited the stall, and said hello, asked us for a picture, posed for a picture, grabbed a business card, snagged a free candy, and bought some of our stuff! You guys are totally awesome ^_^

Also, thank you so much to [info]theprerogative and [info]ceestar and the girls who randomly came by our stall to give us free DN bookmarks for your wonderful gifts ^_^ We love them all so much!


The lovely gifts! ... But only Silver's share, coz Harmony didn't take a photo of hers. XO


All in all, it was a really fun day, and although we're all tired from the ordeal, we can't wait till next year :D


~ Silver and Harmony

ZOMG CUTE!!! Ohhh...and gogo wants that link from last year, when ya'll did the One Piece stuff and did a performance. Gogo wants to show gogod soooo badly. Send link, send link!

((Did you know that Ash, cuz he looks a bit...old...to be Ash. He's kinda scaring gogo and gogod. And the Sailor Moon dude also kinda sorta looks like Karl--think that's his name--from Blood Plus. Especially with that rose! BUT YOU TWO ARE THE CUTEST EVAR. Gogo will have to send you pictures of gogo and gogod's cosplay sometime... lolz))

Ohh thank you! We personally think this was our flimsiest cosplay to date hahaha XD but we're glad you still think we're cute.

The photos of us cosplaying the One Piece characters is here, and the link to the comedy skit that we did is at the bottom of that entry (although you mightn't get it if you haven't watched OP). Also, in case you're interested, we also did a cosplay between the OP one last year and yesterday's cosplay, which is in this entry ~

Haha no we've never met that Ash cosplayer - well, at least he's young at heart, lol. And we haven't watched Blood Plus sadly! It's been on Harmony's list of things-to-check-out for a while. And yes, please do send us pictures of your cosplay! We love cosplay and we love you guys. ♥

ERU!!!! I love you >.< so I'm a bit confused...so this LJ there are two of you? So clueless lol... Unless it's written somewhere and I totally missed it.

Haha at the con I went to, I only saw Kikumaru :( Got a picture of her though ^.^

[info]silverharmony

August 3 2008, 13:46:47 UTC 3 years ago

Ahahaha lol I wrote down that there were two of us sharing this LJ account on the POT friending meme? XD And it's written on our profile page too. :D

I think it might've been because Hidenobu Kiuchi (the voice actor for Oshitari Yuushi) came to this convention as a special guest that all the Tenipuri cosplayers came in huge flocks. There were a LOT more than just the ones that we photographed... we missed a fair few :(

NEXT TIME I'LL BRING SOMETHING FOR YOU HARMONY D;

BTW that Inui you saw? He insists he's a Tezuka, he had a stall behind mine and the Shirley girl was my neighbour. Can you believe she made this pikachu suit?

[info]silverharmony

August 3 2008, 14:01:15 UTC 3 years ago

NO WORRIES <3333 YOUR AWESOME PRESENCE IS ENOUGH FOR HARMONY. XD

We saw the Pikachu suit, I think? Or maybe that was a Pikachu jacket. Not sure. And as for the Inui Tezuka, thanks for letting us know - now edited :P

Thanks for the let-know! That's now been edited. :)

Kehehe it was so much fun seeing you guys, it's always a pleasure of course!! I'm hoping to have a store of my own one day!!

Ohh I must ask, do you have a badgemaker? Or did someone else make them for you? Because my only skill is chibis (if anything ^^;;) and I'd love to sell badges one day... (and bookmarks)...

[info]silverharmony

August 3 2008, 14:23:20 UTC 3 years ago

Likewise, it's a pleasure to meet up with you again too! Thanks again for the presents, we really heart them ~

Silver did the badge-making but I think she's asleep right now, so I'll get her to tell you the specifics when she wakes up. :)

It was great to see you guys again!!! Your DN cosplays were so cute <333
I only realized this morning that I never got a photo of you guys *head-desk* so I'll be stealing some of your pics xD;;
Your badges were awesome and are going straight onto my bag!

[info]silverharmony

August 3 2008, 14:04:28 UTC 3 years ago

Hahahahah the two of us were just chatting today about how we thought this was probably one of the worst cosplays we'd ever done xD but we're so glad you still think we're cute. ♥ We could never ever match up to how cute you guys were though.

Lol sure, feel free to steal! And we really appreciate that you love the badges <3333

Doh!! >_< I can't believe I missed Ash!! But haha, is he still trying to be a Pokemon Master, even at the age of 35?

Oh, I still want to the Ulquiorra and Yamamoto badges. I'll buy them next meeting :)

[info]silverharmony

August 3 2008, 14:43:18 UTC 3 years ago

O_O How do you know he's 35?

And don't worry, we missed so many people too. We were chatting today about how there were so many cosplayers that we saw that we ended up not taking photos of because we were busy with our stall for most of the day :(

Re badges: *thumbs up*. :)

[info]silverharmony

August 4 2008, 01:10:35 UTC 3 years ago

Haha not a worry. We're pretty ashamed ourselves that we couldn't get a picture of you, even though we'd been meaning to D: blame being stuck behind that desk for so long, bwah.

You did such a great cosplay! Congrats again! <33

[info]schweinsty

August 4 2008, 02:28:08 UTC 3 years ago

Oh, you guys make a very cool L and Light :D. Looks like it was lots of fun :).

[info]silverharmony

August 4 2008, 05:33:28 UTC 3 years ago

Lol, not our best cosplay (we have an even better one coming up in less than three weeks), but we're glad you liked. XD

We can't wait to see your cosplay that you've been talking about, too! ♥

August 4 2008, 12:45:51 UTC 3 years ago

asdkgjwodfk I DID NOT SEE THOSE BADGES ;//o//;
I'd have bought those reborn ones if I did >___<;; ahhh..

Thanks for uploading the photos 8DDD
I was the Byakuran with the Mukuro, hehe =3 have been looking everywhere for some photos since we hardly took any with our own camera XD;;

[info]silverharmony

August 4 2008, 13:43:26 UTC 3 years ago Edited:  August 4 2008, 13:47:11 UTC

No worries ^_^ We totally fangirled you guys when you came 'round :3

And lol, well I still have loads of badges left over (that I'm actually planning to try to sell online soon), so if you do want some, I won't mind selling them to you (for a special discount price, of course!).

Edit: Oh, and do you mind if we friend you? Realised you like CG too, and Reborn of course, which we're both obsessing over ^_^ 10069 =D

Aww! You were the cutie? :D You make a great Hitsugaya <3

And thanks so much - this cosplay didn't really match up to our usual work, but we're working pretty hard for Animania! Were you the one who came up to us and recognized us from our CCS cosplay...? Sorry, we talked to so many people that day that we lost track XO

Add as friends? ♥

Lol, I saw you guys while I went to Cosplay Chess. The chibi Hibari caught my attention and I recognised that Hibari cosplayer. He was behind me with Gokudera in the line for the signature. XD
