| JANUARY 22, 2006 Well, after you thought we were dead and gone, I got a creative hair up my butt and brought to you several new pictures and a new layout. As it has become more and more difficult to keep up with all the pictures we take, I've simplified the images page a bit as far as the page content. Sooo, everything has a little something new in it. Some of the "profile" pics have new images and the photo shoot page has new stuff from Sakura-con 2004 and 2005 that have needed to be posted for quite some time! I apologize greatly for the long wait...provided you've waited for this at all. As it stands, we aren't sure how the group is going to go at this year's Sakura-con. Some of us will be in the process of creating new Suikoden costumes, others will have completed them. So, we aren't quite sure just how big a turn-out we'll be expecting. As usual, though, I'm sure there will be several cosplayers we run into throughout the duration of the con, so perhaps you can expect some random shots! Sakura-con 2006 will be held at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center on March 23-26. Group photo shoot information as it becomes available provided we have one. See ya there! APRIL 14, 2004 Greetings, viewers! It's already been a whole year since our first group appearance. Now it's a new year and the 108 Stars are ready for Sakura-con 2004! We might be missing a few original members this year, but rumor has it there will be more cosplayers joining us at this year's photoshoot! I hope so, anyway! ^^ From what I understand, this year's photoshoot will take place Saturday, April 24th, at 12:30pm in the main lobby of the Hilton hotel. It's NOT at the Marriott, just to clear any confusion, as Sakura-con is being held in 2 hotels. More info to come as it becomes available. Stay tuned! AUGUST 20, 2003 After a long hiatus (actually, jobs are murder on your freetime...), I've decided to update the page! I rearranged a few things and added some others. So now, we have a new link in the Cosplayer Bios page that will take you to our new photo shoot page. I moved all the Sakura-con photo shoot pics there and added a few others, too. Also, a new and recent photo of Hero is now posted on the Hero page! It was good to have her home for awhile! That's about it! Hope to post again, soon! Sorry it took me so long! APRIL 08, 2003 The 108 Stars are back from our debut at Sakura-con 2003! We had 11 cosplayers and more are on the way for future cons. Our 3pm photo session went very well and we had more people come to it than we expected! Thanks to those who made it to our big debut! If you missed it, don't worry, because we'll be back and we'll be better than ever! Our group debuted with: Kinnison Ted Jowy Atreides Sierra Mikain Eilie Richmond Seed Culgan Agares Blight Viktor Klaus Windamier Great job, guys! We had an incredible group this year! MARCH 31, 2003 NEWS: Sakura-con 2003 is this Friday, April 4, 2003. The cosplayers at 108 Stars are getting their last minute preperations completed in hopes of a good turnout for Suikoden cosplayers. Unfortunately, there have a been a few setbacks in our roster due to circumstances WAY beyond our control. Our Viki and Suiko III Fire Hero/Hero Genkaku are unable to attend the convention with us. The group will go on, though, and we'll just have to make a more exciting tape with which to show them! So far, the rest of the group seems to be going well. I believe the group will be in costume on Saturday, April 5th for those attending who want to know. I haven't heard any confirmations, but I understand a group photo op. will be taking place at 3pm in the Hilton's lobby on Saturday? Not positive. Anyway, the cosplayers that will be attending that I am now aware of are: Kinnison Ted Jowy Atreides Sierra Viktor Seed Culgan Eilie Any other Suikoden cosplayers at the con will definitely be a good addition, we just don't know them is all. 8 of our cosplayers is not bad at all. That's minus our Viki, Fire Hero, Hero Genkaku, and Gremio. The other slated cosplayers I have no information for. My apologies! Anyway, we're doing pretty well! Not a bad group at all! See ya at the con! FEBRUARY 18, 2003 NEWS: A new Jowy Atreides will be joining the 108 Stars at Sakura-con 2003. Our original Jowy is away with the military, but he'll be back eventually. The costume is almost 100% completed! A few alterations and it'll be done! Pics coming soon! Our Viktor is just about completed as well. He should be at Sakura-con 2003, too. Not much else is known, yet. And do we have an Agares Blight on the way? That's what I've been told! His debut date is to be determined. We also have over 1000 hits! Yay! Thanks, all! ^.^/ FEBRUARY 02, 2003 SITE UPDATE: The Cosplayers' Notebook (guestbook) has been redone. Archiving my entries through Geocities is just too tedious. I'd rather it just be signed and be left at that. So, check out the new book and give it a good signing, okay? ^.^v JANUARY 31, 2003 NEWS: Just informed that our Viki will be attending Sakura-con 2003 with us!! Yay! JANUARY 27, 2003 SITE UPDATE: New layout and new pages to visit. NEWS: Right now, as it stands, our Gremio will not be attending Sakura-con 2003. She'll actually be in Japan during that weekend. Our Flik will also not be attending due to personal issues. Our Viki is "iffy" right now due to financial issues. Our Eilie/Oulan is also "iffy". Our Jowy is now stationed in Japan with the marines, so he, too, can't attend. Our Hero, who is also stationed there, will make it this year and will be debuting a Suikoden III Fire Hero costume as well as her Hero Genkaku one! Our McDohl, Seed, Culgan, and Klaus are in the works right now. We may have a new Jowy (Atreides/Blight?) this year depending on whether or not she attends the convention. Our Sierra is half completed last I heard. So, Ted, Fire Hero/Hero Genkaku, Sierra, McDohl, and I (Kinnison) are definitely confirmed for the convention. I'm very, very positive about Seed & Culgan, but I don't wanna jump to conclusions just yet. Also, some members of 108 Stars are planning to possibly make it to Anime Expo 2003. Keep your fingers crossed! |
