Is anyone going? I might be. Its in July at the University of Hartford!

(Easy to convince the parents into driving you, if you're a junior or a senior...just say you're interested in U of H. hehe)

I'm probably going, I live near it, so yeah ^.^ still trying to find out who I'm cosplaying as though.

i went last year; it was pretty good, but about average for your small 1st year con. (the school's campus is nice too!) this year they've got big planns to fix things up majorly. i cant wait! I'll be going as songstress Yuna and some of my friends might be joining me, although not all of them know what they'll be cosplaying. one of them is making an original dressphere pirate Paine and another was thinking of doing something as Rikku, but nothing more has been planned.

Wow, not near me, I've never even heard of it, lol

I live in a small town called Terryville, which is located in the city of Waterbury.

Hey, Groton! I work at the movie theater in Stonington, CT! ^_^ If the con is in July I'll definately try to make it, I live in southern RI (like, 10 minutes from the border to CT) so it won't be that far of a drive. Hope I see you guys there! XD

kotoko_52 · Post by **kotoko_52** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 4:20 pm

Awesome!!! I'm cosplaying as Cloud Strife from Kingdom Hearts, so if you see one it might be me ^.^

Laura92 · Post by **Laura92** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 6:56 pm

Regal Cinema???? o.o i go there all the time! and my friend worked there last summer! (His name is Basil)

kotoko_52 · Post by **kotoko_52** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 8:51 am

By the way, are there any girls that are staying the three days and need a roomie? My friend's dad is getting a seperate room for the girls and the guys, but there's three guys and only two girls, so we have an extra spot. If you need a ride or room mate, if you're not too far out of the way, and have the money, we wouldn't mind bringing someone else ^.^

(Note: Yes, I know there's a forum offering this at connecticon.org, but for some reason my server doesn't accept the forums in that site o.o )

Gale · Post by **Gale** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 12:32 pm

if you give me your contact info, i can post there about it for ya

stardancer · Post by **stardancer** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 4:12 pm

I'd like to go, at least for Saturday. It's not too far from me (Southern Hudson Valley, NY). I'm not sure what to cosplay, is anyone starting groups? I'd be up for .hack, Lunar, or Disgaea.

.... Holy shit. I remember him. Ask about the weird projectionist girl who always dressed in black. ^_^ He'll probably remember me, I've been working there for going on 3 years now.

kiarrens-wow....just wow....if i tell my mom i met you through him we can probably go to the con together...lol...unfortunatly, i'll just be there Sat. 'cause i'll be comming straight from summer camp (and yes, Basil goes there too, lol, although he'll be a counciler this year), but we really should meet up there!

kotoko_52-if you want me to post on the CTcon bord for you, saying you have room for someone who needs a room, i can do that and post an e-mail address so they can contact you.

MesariTojo · Post by **MesariTojo** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:07 pm

I am going with a group doing Death Note (me as Mello), Ouran (me as a lady host), and Shaman King (me as Anna).

I am really excited..driving from Pittsburgh to Hartford just to go!

Synnie · Post by **Synnie** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 5:39 pm

Is anyone going as a Sailor Moon Character this year? Nothing's set in stone yet, but I'm uber-hoping to get there Saturday or Sunday this year. It'll be my first Connecticon. I'm interested to see how it compares to Virginia's Nekocon. ^^

Anyway, if I go, seeing as I'm less than an hour away, I'll be going as Sailor Jupiter.

Ian-Loves-Cupcakes · Post by **Ian-Loves-Cupcakes** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:36 am

Anyone have any news for CTcon 2008 this year?

moriwencartel · Post by **moriwencartel** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:05 pm

It's being held in August this year. My friend is the Head of Staff for the video game dept. It's going to be a ton of fun, and I'm real excited.

Ian-Loves-Cupcakes · Post by **Ian-Loves-Cupcakes** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:11 pm

It's August 1st-3rd this year, right? I'm really excited, too. My friend and I just started working on our costume. :3

prince · Post by **prince** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 11:49 am

Yep yep... 1st through the 3rd of August.

I'm hoping to attend, with camera in tow, so should be a good chance to put some photo skills to work and give some peeps some free pics. So be on the look out for me! <]

Traveling from Northern MA here (Billerica), should be able to make it an all day think that Saturday.

moriwencartel · Post by **moriwencartel** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:25 pm

Very cool. I'm still struggling to put together a costume that I'll hopefully be able to finish. ::prays to the Cosplay Gods::

kracken29 · Post by **kracken29** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:30 am

Is anyone going as Hellsing characters?

prince · Post by **prince** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 12:32 pm

Not I... just plain ole camera man on this trip.

However, I do love the Hellsing series and characters!

kracken29 · Post by **kracken29** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 10:21 am

I'll look for you then =D Or maybe it would be easier for you to look for my group.. Our Walter is a big black guy.. If you go that Saturday & you see him with Dok, Anderson, and a really short Seras carrying a green messenger bag that's us lol And we'll have an Integra with us off and on.. She has a booth at the con so she'll be coming & going all day.

prince · Post by **prince** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 11:29 am

Sounds groovy... I'll be camera ready and you guys can just pretend to attack me...

Emphasis on the pretend part, it's for the picture... I don't actually want to be mauled. LOL

I'll defintely be there Saturday so I'll keep the eyes peeled. What booth is your friend working?

kracken29 · Post by **kracken29** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:12 pm

Lol alright that sounds fun. =D

The booth she's working is for her business called Rabid Squirrels. They're selling prints of their artwork & stuff.

How's that costume coming? You going to be ready in time?

moriwencartel · Post by **moriwencartel** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 5:54 am

If all goes well, I'm going as Yuuko from Schrödinger's Lion. If all doesn't, I have a base for Robin Sena, all I need to do is make her pendant and get some long ribbons. I just hope I can get everything together for Yuuko... she's just too damn amazing, I can't not go as her.

prince · Post by **prince** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 8:37 am

Any particular design you going for? I'm not 100% up to speed on the Schrödinger's Lion, but I know there are a few outfit options for Yuuko, so wasn't sure what you had in mind or not.

Good luck with either one, hopefully you make it to CTConn and are happy about what you will be wearing!

moriwencartel · Post by **moriwencartel** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:26 am

::squees:: After the near panic attack of trying to find a costume, I came home after staying at the fiance's; to find my mother with a huge grin on her face. She bought me Yuki Cross' Day Class Uniform, so hopefully it arrives in time so I'll be going as her! ::phew::

See you there!! I'll be with a Sailor Saturn, an Urahara and lords only know what my friend Lex will be wearing.

Dokudel · Post by **Dokudel** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 6:47 pm

I'm bringing out for this con Reiko Hinomoto from Rumble Roses, Cammy White Shadowloo from Street Fighter, and Poison from Final Fight. ^_^ Notice a trend there?

moriwencartel · Post by **moriwencartel** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 10:27 pm

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to meet up with you. Just check on the "pictures of you" forum thread and we can meet up there and get tons of photos of the Cammy adorableness!

Dokudel · Post by **Dokudel** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:36 pm

Alrighty I will definently check that out. :3

prince · Post by **prince** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 5:44 am

And I will defintely be camera ready for any photo-ops you two may want.

I made a big post at the conneticon.org forum (under Chatterbox), but basically look for me in the 'buisness T-Shirt', with a camera.

I'll also be handing out cards to let you know where to find your pictures, once I'm able to get them posted.

moriwencartel · Post by **moriwencartel** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 9:03 am

Sounds awesome. Now to finish sanding and painting my Artemis Staff. ^.^

kracken29 · Post by **kracken29** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 5:42 am

Agh my Hellsing group slowly dwindled down to just me (Seras) & Walter.. >.> I don't know about Integra & we haven't heard anything from Anderson.

prince · Post by **prince** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 9:41 am

Ouch... that is quite the Dwindle.

Someone is out to get you.

kracken29 · Post by **kracken29** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:00 pm

Yeah... And now Walter couldn't get a ride there.. So it's just me D:

prince · Post by **prince** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 9:48 am

So.. who was there?
Have fun? I got a ton of pics, lol, but I have to downsize them a little before I overload my website.

kracken29 · Post by **kracken29** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 11:12 am

I was there...Even if I was by myself... >.>
