Time: Start meeting at noon

About the themes...
Generally, the first theme is intended to set the "mood" for the shoot, while the second is a prop theme, though you can look at it less literally if it suits your purpose. They are open to interpretation and can be ignored at will. For a more detailed explanation, go to our thread on cosplay.com ("July photoshoot"), or visit our cosspace page (links in my signature and further down in this post).


About GasuKan...
GasuKan is a traveling, themed cosplay photoshoot/social gathering that meets in the Seattle area once a month. Our location changes depending on the theme and expected weather conditions, but our home base is considered to be Gasworks Park. Our name originates from that: a play on "Gas(works) Con" and "gas can". Yes, the founder is a dork.

There is no fee to participate, and anyone is welcome to attend. You don't have to follow the theme if you don't want to, and you don't even have to dress up. As I've said, this is largely a social gathering. A lot of us just happen to cosplay and take pictures at it.
