Ran = Reddyne Aya = Yours truly! Shinki = Gandalph (Alice from the pre-con strips) Kyouko/Kogasa = welp
Youmu = Maddy (A New England Touhou fan that doesn't internet much but has been doing AB for years) Mima = Mima-sama Star Sapphire = Sefam Yoshika = The "#2" ofuda would seem to imply it's NOT UK, which tells me it's Project J-Ko, another New England Touhou AB regular. I could've sworn that was UK's seat, though, so maybe he just switched ofuda writings. Waldo = No clue (I saw a Waldo cosplayer on Friday, might've been the same guy) Tsukihi = Yu (as stated in the previous step) Rumia = ...I forget what his internet handle is, but he's been a Patchy cosplayer at AB for several years. Yukari = I forget. Sorry. Momizi = Momiji/Wolftengu
I usually replace almost everyone in my 4-panel strips with Touhou characters, so I think it might be hard to convey, but general seating was a grand spectacle, like a tiered doll stand filled with cosplayers.
Naturally, Mima caught my eye the most and was really on my mind. :-)
Reader-added tags include "Waldo's casually there", "Where's Waldo?", ZomBoobs→205" (An on-purpose misreading of how Mizuki-san wrote "2号"), "ZUN in general" and "Where fantasy and reality switch".
The survey today invites us to take part:
I'd sure like to cosplay... • Mima-sama • Star • Yoshika-chin • Momi-Momi • Is that so?
Yup. That was Mima. Anyway, figure I'll put up the panel setup vid http://youtu.be/URhUP_Nd4As and then see how the comic plays the panel out.
Also, at this point I have a couple of sequences that probably aren't going to match up with anything in comic, namely video of the first photoshoot, and him drawing the 500th comic. Is anybody interested in these, or should I just stick to whatever shows up in the comic?
Let's see, the Rumia's tag was "SONANOKA~", but his handle is Patchouli-Knowledge (don't know if he has another). The Yukari, oddly enough, Gandalph, Reddyne and I ran into at the Boston Cosplay Ice Skating event this winter (where she was actually dressed as Koishi), but we didn't get her internetz name.

I'd say if you know for sure something is past and won't show up, you could post them when they make the most sense. For example, if the photoshoot comes up, you could put up videos of both the photoshoots at that time.
Maybe put up Mizuki-san drawing comic 500 on post #1136936 just for convenience.

The Rumia's name is Kiri, if I'm not mistaken? I remember him because we both attended this Comiket party upstate that turned into 2 straight days of bacon, whiskey, and Grief Syndrome. We had a nice discussion about his button collection.

That's actually about where she was sitting as Koishi last year, as I recall.
Took a brief look through last years videos; I think that was a different Koishi; that's the guy that did ZUN in 2010.

Whoops, you're right. I'm confusing screennames because Kiri also has a Patchy outfit. Man, keeping cosplayers straight is difficult.
Kilga: I think that's J-Ko because I remember sitting on the edge of the left side on the second row. So the #2 would indicate it wasn't me because I only had the Zomboobs ofuda :P
It's primarily because gender in Touhou is different, but, like many similar forms of related games and media, the fandom primarily consists of males. Ultimately, it's a show of humility and good humor. Then again, if I were born with genetics that made me look more like a girl than a boy, a hand for makeup application that would make Michelangelo jealous, and a condition that made me look Photoshopped from tip to tail, you can be sure I'd be cosplaying exclusively the girliest girly-girls in all of Touhou.

Yes, the Rumia is me, Kiri, you are not mistaken. Sometimes Kirip or Kirii because Kiri seems to be a taken handle in most places.
Mima-sama sitting there like a boss; Mizuki-san got him down perfectly. There's quite a few of us there today, and it looks like we were drawn pretty much how we were sitting. (I think Mizuki-san was taking some pictures of us before the panel started.) With so many of us sitting together as we were, I think it was rather surreal, wasn't it?
By the way, what website was it that had everyone get together to raise money for Mizuki in the first place, anyway? I think it was mentioned earlier, but can't remember the specific website. (Seems like the old pooshlmer guys, mostly, though...)

Maidens of the Kaleidoscope, aka the shrinemaiden forums. IIRC, that is.
It's harder trying to figure out who is who when there are different people cosplaying as the same character. I'm not sure if the Momiji is me or wolftengu. I remember I was sitting next to a Yukari cosplayer at the panel, but the Momi drawn has short hair. I'm not sure if Mizuki-san is going to draw each of us with small differences to tell us apart or not (like he did with "#2").
