I posted a post a little while ago asking for a description of Elspeth as I meant to cosplay her at Brisbane Supanova. After Kella messaged me asking if it was possible for a group of Elspeth cosplayers to meet up at supanova, we decided that I would start a post inviting people to join our cosplay group.
So if you would like to come to Supanova and cosplay Elspeth with us, please do!! I am under the impression that Isobelle Carmody will be there to sign books and talk to fans, so hopefully we can get a photo of all of us together with her.
The dates are Friday the 27th to the 29th of November. The tickets go on sale in October I believe.
I can only go one of the three days but it doesn't matter which one it is. If anyone would like to come and cosplay with us, please comment! And if you would like to suggest a meeting spot and times then please do so as well.
So please get a Elspeth cosplay ready and hopefully we will have a group together for Brisbane Supanova!
Woooooo I'd be super keen! I'd also have to do the Sunday because of work. Also tickets go on sale tomorrow, does anyone know if they usually sell out?
I don't think so Kella. You can buy tickets at the door anyway. online tickets just help you get in faster!!

Well, online tickets are supposed to help you get in faster. We always found that the online ticket sales line was much longer/slower moving than the purchase-on-the-day line (but, it has been a year or two since I went to Brisnova, and I haven't been to one since they changed the venue to BCEC).
I wish I could come along for this, and relive the flock-of-Elspeths glory days (what would a collection of Elspeth's be called?) but with a (by then) nearly one-year-old, it's impossible to get value for money out of something like Supanova.
I'm hoping that we'll be able to come in for lunch that day, and catch up with you all at Southbank, or something, but until baby-land calms down I'm afraid I'm out when it comes to day-long meets :(
Also, poapie, this thread might do better/get more attention on the main message board, instead of on theories - do you mind if I move it?
No, I don't mind at all Min. Move away!!!
Hopefully we can meet up with you! That would be awesome. But if not then that's fine too!
How cool! I'm going to Supanova and would love to go on the day Elspeth cosplayers will be there.
Min, don't worry about taking a baby, I took 5 kids a few years ago to meet Isobelle, the youngest was 8 months at the time.
Oh - I'm not worried about taking him to meet Isobelle (she's met him a couple of times already), it's that I don't think he (or I) will get any enjoyment out of Supanova at this time.
Plus, he *will not* nap unless he is at home, in his cot/darkened room, so there would be at least half a day where I was trying to calm down a cranky, tired child who won't stay in his pram when he's tired (plus he's so active/wild, he will want to run about and can't really go wild at Supanova with so many people). It's better for all our sakes if I put off Supanova until he doesn't need a day nap any more, and just come in for a few hours at lunch time this time around. Plus with all the idiots spreading things like measles around Brisbane of late, I'd rather avoid a big public event like that until he's had his MMR immunisation anyway.
so do we want to come up with a time and a place to meet up? and are we sure Isobelle will be there? i haven't heard anything recently to suggest plans have changed but i could have missed something.
