Welcome to John Ball Zoo(vale)

Alright Listeners, just a few final words on tomorrow afternoon! Remember to keep the Weather in mind when dressing for the day. It may rain. It WILL be hot. Much of the zoo grounds is in open areas, where the sun will be beating down on you. Do not feel like you must come as a Hooded Figure. Just a regular citizen will do too. I myself may be dressed rather lightly. If you are used to seeing me (Kioni) dressed in a shirt and tie and pants and short hair, you'll be lost. I will probably be wearing a skirt and leggings, just to avoid overheating. If we have not met before, just look for the Cecilia type person with purple tentacle gauges, and lip piercings. Black hair. Etc. I plan on getting to the zoo around 1PM, but others are more than welcome to arrive earlier! Admittance is $10, and different attractions inside the park (zipline, ropes course, pudgie exhibit) cost extra. Check the Park website for more details. No photoshoot is currently scheduled. This is a casual meet for people of like minds to gather and have fun. If you arrive later, feel free to shoot me (Kioni) a message either on here, I'll try to check periodically. My phone number is available upon request. We hope to see you soon Nightvale.

Welcome to John Ball Zoo

Hello Listeners.

A few more details about this coming Thursday, July 28.

I plan on meeting at John Ball Zoo at about 1PM. The park is open 9AM to 6PM that day, so feel free to arrive earlier. I will probably wait just inside the park admission gates for about a half hour, just to let people catch up before moving into the park. The zoo website says that it takes about three hours to see the entirety of the park, so there’s plenty of time to see all the creatures!

Admission price for JBZ is $10 for adults (13+) but offers a $1 discount to those with a valid student ID.

Tobacco products are not permitted inside the park. No cigarettes, chewing tobacco, e-cigs, or vapes. Please, leave them at home.

From my experience holding meetups and events in public places, most zoos and parks do not allow masks, full face paint, horns, or similar props inside the park. At JBZ, over the top makeups can startle animals, and it might be a good idea to tone down some of your usual cosplays for this public event. Also, the weather forecast for Thursday in Grand Rapids is rain/thunderstorms and 80+ degrees. Dress accordingly. Be prepared to get wet.

Do not bring food or beverages into the park. 

At this time, no photoshoot is scheduled. This event is just a chance for like minded people to gather together, see some animals, and enjoy each other’s company. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Hey! I just posted a thing about needing cosplayers for a Welcome to Nightvale panel for Youmacon. I think they're planning on hosting the panel off Friday evening. Do you think you could reboot it to here to get the word out, cause we're hoping to get some more cosplayers. thanks!

Absolutely! Just submit a link to this page, or send a link in the ask, and I’ll reblog it for you!

Also, people should investigate!

Thank you to all Shutovale attendees!

It was another successful listening panel, and it was a pleasure to see you all! The Tumblr list should be up within the next couple of days, along with the group photo. Thank you all do much for being an awesome group. <3 Kioni (Cecil)

[kionishine]

Will you be running the shutocon wtnv panel? And do you know which day it will be on if u are? My girlfriend and I are planning on going as cecil and carlos on Saturday and I think it'd be fun to go to

Yes I am! I’m very excited and honoured to be hosting this panel again.

The preliminary schedule given to programming people says it will be Friday night, about 8:30 PM. It should run long enough for two full episodes of WTNV and I’ll announce other activities as well!

I hope to see you there!

[michiganvale]

Two Upcoming Nightvale panels!

Hello listeners! We're pleased to announce two new listening party panels in the next few months! The first will be at Shumatsucon in Columbus, OH The second will be at Shutocon in Lansing, MI Spread the word and we hope to see you soon

[herrbertie-deactivated20160207]

In the first stages of my Earl Harlan cosplay.

I thought I’d try going a little more vintage with the Boy Scout uniform. While I’ll definitely have to make new patches for Night Vale and tailor the shirt a bit, I’m really excited about this cosplay.

Feedback?
