Okay, fellow cosplayers!

Now that the conventions are over how about a nice relaxing cosplay day where we aren't required to spend gratuitous amounts of money and spend hours walking down hot, sweaty convention halls?

I don't know, I think it sounds great to me.

So. As it has been a while, I wanted to know ideas and opinions for gathering locations and dates.

When is everyone free? Where do you want to go?

I know some people have been waiting for a chance to reunite this group so lets have at it.

Hello, everyone,

It's been a while, hasn't it?

The lack of activity from Black Tea Party was not an intentional move, and it wasn't cutting ties with everyone-- or that is not what we wanted. There were issues with schedules, and because of that gatherings and other things were hard to plan. I wanted to continue making gatherings, but it was hard to find others willing to take the reigns for it and I couldn't not arrive to any of them on time because of a job.

However, now that summer is beginning I hope that you all will be interested in meeting up again as we used to.

In order to be able to create gatherings again, we need members who are still interested in being a part of us, and as you know we're quite a lenient group. We don't tell you what you can and cannot cosplay and when you can do it-- so know that anyone is still invited and we would love to have you all once more, as part of our group.

Gathering is at noon!


Black Tea Party is going to have a gathering on the 20th [a Sunday] at SeaPort Village.

It is any cosplay -- it's been a while since we've had a gathering, so we would really enjoy it if you would all come.


Attending:
Leuong / Viryn as Kanda Yuu
Corodo
NoodlesBunz as Ciel
DusExMacina
SoapyKind
JaelinFawkes
UPDATE:
We have the LOVE? question mark for you to include in your video, again, feel free to customize it and add to it as long as the base of it says recognizable. You can change the colours or ad words to it.
Question Mark:

So, I brought up this idea in October for the remake of the Black Eyed Peas video Where is the Love?
The idea hasn't died, and I want people to start planning what they want to do.
There won't be a set script for this video as I want people to decide what they want to do and what parts they want  to recreate.

You are allowed to recreate any part of the video, and you're also allowed to make something up. You can make multiple clips and it can be in any cosplay you want.
We will choose the best out of all of them and put them together.

The requirements are that you have cosplay and a camera [NOT a webcam].

We will soon submit the question mark picture and you are to have it in your video. You are allowed to customize it as long as the original base of it is still recognizable.

Another requirement is that we want everyone to take a close-up of them -- you can be singing the song or you can just have it be a face shot. This has to be a minimum of twenty seconds long so we can cut it where we need to.

You are allowed to have as many people in the video as you want and they do not have to be in Black Tea Party or people we know as long as they are in cosplay.

It does not matter where you live, you are allowed to participate.

You need to have away of sending this video to us. Be it by flashdrive, cd disk, sent computer file, zip, or submitting it to YouTube for us to download [I can do that], in the mail, whatever.

This video is going to go on the Black TeaParty YouTube account. People are going to see your face, take that into account when you're shooting it.
If it is poorly made we will not put it in the video.

If you have not seen the music video here is the link:

Please comment if you are interested and your ideas. If you want to remake part of the video, please inform us so we know who is trying to remake what so we don't have multiple remakes of one scene.

We're in need of photographers for this, so if you can, please come, you're fully welcome.

The first official Black Tea Cafe gathering is located at SeaPort Village, meeting at the carousel at 12:00 Noon on February 19th.

It is IMPORTANT for Black Tea Cafe cosplayers to go but if you absolutely cannot then inform us.
If you have trouble getting your costume on time then inform us of that as well and we will try our best to figure out a solution.

...We will be walking a bit, and probably into downtown.

This gathering/photoshoot is only available to Black Tea Cafe cosplayers as well as anyone willing to take pictures.
If you have to come with someone else [I know parents who prefer it] then they can't be in cosplay, but they can stay and hang out with us.

It would be nice for people to bring props but it is not necessary. Appropriate props would be things found in a cafe or anything that suits your character.
Cafe props:
Food items like chocolate, cupcakes, small cookies, etc.
Serving tray
Teacup
[Nothing you have to sneak out of the house, damnit]

I realize this is something we have come up with ourselves and the characters are all developed by one another, so I leave it up to you to find out how each character would interact with one another.
[AKA. If you haven't read the information on other people's character I highly recommend you do it NOW]
