I want to give you all a little INFO about how the Penguin Party. So here is a brief summary of where we came from and what we are about.
A make-shift gathering of last years I-CON (26) caused a Sunday night bash that was one to remember. Three separate parties combined to one. With the Naruto cosplay group along with the Kingdom Hearts cosplay group combining for a jam fest in the middle of the Javits center, it all came to an uproar with the arrival of the mighty penguin. With only Retro Optimus Prime’s Boombox and the Penguin’s borrowed Hello Kitty boombox, the dance party began and slowly grew. The party grew to over 80 Dancing cosplayers , enjoying the random party.
Getting bored of just dancing, the group decided to play a messed up game of Hot potato and used a gaara plushi, Hence the new game of “HOT GAARAâ€. A joker was among the midst and decided to steal the gaara. This is where the group’s unity gathered. Under the supervision of the penguin, the party sent out to find this thief. Finally finding the plushi, it was said that “Hot Gaara†would be a set game to play for any repeat party.
Seeing the happiness this random party gave to many I-CON goers, the penguin contacted I-CON staff and requested to make this an official event. Combining all of the randomness along with a set list of events, the penguin gathered the 80+ group into a myspace forum and began planning the next year’s event.
The Penguin, and all of the groups that joined him to make this amazing event, focus their party on those that are outgoing and want to explore different aspects of I-CON with other members. It allows for members to get to know each other and make friendships that could last a life time. Thousands of people attend I-CON each and every year, and the Penguin Party is here to unite those members using games, events and just an all around great time.
