3rd Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair 2008 production note 2

Time now for another update, and this is a very long update for everyone.

I got in time for the event briefing and I fired up my laptop inside and get ready to finish those layout designs for the newpaper print ad, tarps and event ad boards to be posted in Megamall. I connected myself to have a hidden meeting with my colleagues inside the conference center, so while they are having the briefing for the booth exhibitors, we just stayed at the back of the room and discuss everything some updates and plan for the activities that we will be co-producing for the event. And glad that Alma of Jujuuri J Culture is there to assist me every time I have an event, RG was there too..for I gave him some updates about the cosplay program we are preparing, Mark Santos and Mark Cerbo is also there representing each other's toy group, Lace is there also fixing some blog layout for Mark Santos.

So here are some updates that might help you on what's going on.

Cosplay Christmas Catwalk Show
the program for the cosplay show is not a contest, its an exhibition of all kinds of costumes and cosplay models blended with Christmas theme, the catwalk show will start at 4:00pm in the stage of Manila Toys and Gift Show inside Megatrade Hall 2. The main audience will be kids from the Bantay Bata 163, and also events visitors and cosplay fans. There's also a foot parade before the catwalk show, and it will be leaded by Santa Clause walking from the ground floor and up to the top floor of the Megamall, the foot parade is an activity for the event and also raise awareness of the program. Cosplay models are invited to join the foot parade with Santa Clause, I suggest that light weight costumes must not join, because the foot parade will use the mall stairs only and not the escalator.

There will be items to be given away to lucky selected cosplay models who has an attractive cosplay theme for Christmas, so better armed your costume with Santa Hats, Christmas decor and funny signs, maybe that will work for having a Christmas theme.

Toy Auctions
there will be a toy auction and I know that everyone is waiting for this, the auction will be for two days only, December 19-20 only, items for auctions will be available for viewing online and will be posted here in my blog, the ToyCon multiply site and our mailing list. For exhibitors of the event who likes to join the live auction, please send me the details of the items to my email at AZRAEL at GMAIL dot com, with the image, details, and bidding price of the item. A partial 10% of the final bid price will be donated to the Bantay Bata 163, ( but will double check if it is 10% )
just coordinate or ask Vic Yap about the live auction, you can email him at VIMYPH at YAHOO dot com.
