EVENT SCHEDULE

Friday 4PM 105 in the Galleria (near the Art Show and the Cosplay Gallery)- Talking with Team Seven: An Interactive Naruto Panel - This is basically the same as the panel we held at Jacon. We'll be dressed as Team Seven Shippuuden style and we'll let the audience ask any questions theyve been wanting to ask Naruto, Sasuke, or Sakura. I say it'll be the same as Jacon, but since the manga's moved on (meaning SPOILERS) and we're really random in how we answer things and what the audience wants to ask it'll be completely different I'm sure. It's just the same style. We'll be giving the disclaimer of SPOILERS and the rating of PG-13 so not too many people get offended.

Saturday from 10AM-12PM in Kennessaw Room - The Ouran Host Club Challenge - This is going to be a highlight event at the convention and I think everyone should be there to participate. It'll be like a track and field event and there's going to be a ton of games and prizes.

And that's it for our scheduling stuff. We're are likely to change at any given moment and not follow any kind of schedule, so don't hold us to this at all.

We will be found in the company of two wonderful people here, namely Morri-chan and Mo-sensei. Morri-chan will be our lovely Ino and Renge and Mo-sensei will be our faithful sensei, Kakashi, and a few other surprises to go along with our costumes. Can't wait to see you guys there! XOXOXO

See you guys there!

We've been getting this Question a lot.

"Are you guys going to MechaCon?"

Our answer is, "NO!" We will not be attending; seeing as we have changed our residency to Georgia. We know this is the only convention we see some of you at, but we hope we'll be able to make to another one in your schedule.

Hope everyone will make the best of their time there though! And if you see Van/Ai no Shinobi, give him a HUGE twin hug. XD

~The Twins

Everyone should go and subscribe to our youtube account! We are going to be putting up some wonderful and fabulous cosplay things for everyone to see! We're really excited!

Our name is, of course, splitimagecosplay

For now here is our first and wonderful video! Team Seven bakes an OT3 cake! This was to celebrate our ONE YEAR Anniversary!

Soooooo! Got our panels approved now! <3 For any of you guys going to JACON if you wanna attend some of our panels and events we'd adore you forever!!!

Saturday, 4-5PM Pelican D Panel Room

It's All About Teamwork: An Interactive Naruto Panel (13+ suggested)

The Naruto panels are going to loads of fun we're doing Q&A and games! The one on Friday is meant mostly for kids and dub only watchers and innocent questions to young Team Seven (yep, we're going to stay in character......hopefully). The one on Saturday is for all fans, but we're allowing spoilers of the recent manga and anime!!! We'll be in Shippuuden garb here and pretty much any question goes. XDDDD Someone please ask about the OT3!

The other events gotta be kept on the dl for now. ^^;;;; We aren't supposed to give out details, but I promise a good time from these! The lovely girls of Lovely Lady Hunks (some from a part of WeGo4Kyo) are organizing things. ^____________^ We're looking forward to seeing them.

Our cosplay schedule has been changed also:

Friday:

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura (Naruto)

Hikaru, Kaoru, Renge (Ouran High School Host Club)

Saturday:

Hikaru, Kaoru, and Renge (Ouran High School Host Club)

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura (Naruto Shippuuden)

Sunday:

Dunno yet (either Loveless or Doujinshi Naruto or.......XD who knows)

Renge provided by our wonderful friend, Morri-chan. *____* Crystal fit! XD And the reason Loveless isn't definite is because Michele's Natsuo wig won't dye. *laughs* Finally ran into one of those. Oo

We know it’s early, but we’re excited! XD Here’s our tenative schedule for cosplay:

Friday

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura - Naruto Shippuuden

Hitachiin Twins School Uniforms, Renge (if Crystal’s not too fat............yay for borrowing costumes FROM SKINNY PEOPLE)- Ouran High School Host Club

Saturday

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura - Naruto

Hitachiin Twin Cheshire Cats, Renge (again, maybe if Crystal’s not too fat.... NO MORE CHEESE and if she doesn’t eat on Friday. AHAHAHAH) - Ouran High School Host Club

Sunday

Natsuo, Yohji, and Ritsuka - Loveless

We also have our tenative panel schedule. Which is REALLY iffy now since we haven’t gotten word back about our Naruto panels. XD We’ll update more when we actually get word back about doing them.

Ask The Ninjas: An Interactive Naruto Panel (Rated PG)

It’s All About Teamwork: An Interactive Naruto Panel (Rated PG-13)

Miscellaneous Ouran Panels (we’re thinking two)

Hey guys! A lot has been going on recently in our personal lives so we haven't been able to get up any kind of information so you guys can keep track of us.

First off, Crystal has officially moved down to Louisiana and Randi and her are are roommates this semester. Michele has two more semesters alone without them and will then be heading to finish her nursing degree at the same school. Funny how that works, huh?

Secondly, OhayoCon was a lot of fun! We met a load of awesome people! Hopefully we'll get to hang out more with them next year. <3

TENATIVE SCHEDULE:

Jacon - May 16-18

AWA - September 19-21

Oni-Con - October

Why so few conventions? Well, we are trying to budget since we're all in college and we're also putting out a lot more intricate and detailed costumes this year:

COSPLAY

Princess Tutu (Randi), Princess Kraehe (Michele), Mytho (Crystal), and Fakir (Philip) from Princess Tutu

Naruto (Randi), Sasuke (Michele), and Sakura (Crystal) New Year's attire from the Naruto artbook

Yohji (Randi) and Yohji (Michele) from Loveless

There's a few individual pieces we'd like to make, but those aren't certain for this year. There's not too many costumes this year either because of budget. Just for you guys who might want to know Philip is a friend of ours who we asked to be in our Princess Tutu group. The four costumes will be made by us, but we asked Crystal and Philip to wear them.

Hope 2008 is going well for everyone! God bless!

The first convention Split.Image.Cosplay will be attending is OhayoCon which is January 4-6, 2008 in Columbus, Ohio. There's a few people who know we are attending and we are excited about meeting, but if we don't know you're going and will be there drop us a line! We wanna see everyone! <3

We've worked out our tentative cosplay schedule. You'll be surprised to see it only involves Naruto. Why is that, because we're retards and are going to dattebayo-out this con. XDDDD Yay! OT3! Team 7 looooove!
