Someone posted about this last year and I thought I'd bring it up again.  It is a really fun time and also a great place to possibly meetup with friends you made and met at the con.  Good food, games, demos, etc...

So, yeah, I hope to go.  Some people were cosplaying as well.  I just hope the weather is better this year than last year.

This sounds like a fantastic idea. I wish it could have been promoted at the con. I command everyone who read this to attend. Obey me!

Awesooome!  I go there every week!  In fact, I was there earlier today... :shock:

I remember going last year. I liked the little kids games... like catching goldfish.
...reminded me of that one episode of tenchi...

It's funny this should be brought up.
We had a con-friend meet-up last year too. It was really fun. It's just really crowded on those days, and OH THE BEES.

But I will request the days off of work now that I know the dates. XD

I'm usually there every year... discounts on the unagi bento... so good.

Pezzer - Kumoricon better have some freaking posters/flyers or something there for next year.

or someone in a big suit filled with kcon info to compete with Anpanman and Hello Kitty.
