event

Last Friday, May 29, 2009, a cosplay and fashion show event was held at the Prince of Jaipur at the Fort.  The event was called Zyphie Friday 2.0 and probably the first of its kind.  For those who don't know, Prince of Jaipur is a night club with dancing and drinks.  The event was organized by Jabtitude Productions, Team Eventistas and the UE Red Shieldz.

The entrance for the event was suppose to be PhP100.00.  It was even advertised on their website.  But when I got there, I was asked if I was either on the guest list or a cosplayer.  When I said I was neither, they charged me PhP500.00.  You know, that's a lot of money.  It was as if I was paying for a regular entrance.  It appeared to me that only guest listers and cosplayers paid PhP100.00.  I wish they made that clearer because what they said on the website is that it would be PhP100.00 for the entrance plus PhP50.00 if you are joining the Cosplay Competition. 

Ticket prices clearly stated above but was not followed

The night started with a fashion show from Sugar Free and Blue.  They had two themes.  One was inspired by Japanese street fashion and the other was anime inspired with a cutesy feel to it.  I personally like the items they sell because they're different and not something you would usually see in department stores.  And the stuff they sell seem to appeal to the general anime community.   They also featured two dance groups performances from Krumpinoy and ADT (Ama Dance Troupe) before the cosplay contest actually started.
