Well all the recovery and clean up is done now and I'm ready to greet a new year of preparation for the next Kumoricon!

First, thanks again to everyone that helped us this year by giving donations and signing up for deliveries, and a special thanks to all the cosplayers we recruited!

Pocky Club got over 40 delivery requests this year and only a few of them went unanswered. To those of you who never received your pocky, I apologize. I'm working on a new centralized organizational system that should not just streamline the process of oputing an order in, but also make it get to your friend faster!

Thanks to the generosity of the convention goers and the hard work of our members (especially Princess Ruki and Neko_Chan) the club was able to raise over $100 in donations! Had there been more Pocky at the vendors tables we would have been able to buy plenty more. as it was, that balanced out the cost of our Pocky expenses going into the convention and enabled us to have some for ourselves even!

After all, if we don't get Pocky, we can't share with everyone else!

Now, on to new business!
Once again I've set my sights on Sakuracon.
The Pocky Club has long awaited a chance to make our presence felt up North and this may be the year it happens. We've got new members who may be going but we need to be prepared. I myself won't be able to attend until the club raises enough profits (that's money left after we buy Pocky) for me to afford admission. Even if I did go it wouldn't be enough to have just me there.

So if any of you are Pocky club members and will be at Sakuracon; or if you'd be interested in joining the Club and representing us there; let us know! you can either respond to this thread or email us at pockyclub@gmail.com

Finally, as the Club has grown in membership and ability over the last few years, I feel that we may be able to finally branch out of the convention scene and actually make deliveries at the meetings as well! If you'd like a n official Pocky club delivery made to a friend at an upcoming Kumoricon meeting then email us at pockyclub@gmail.com

Visit our website (Vallie has promised to work on it soon!) and eat more Pocky!

*salutes* once I know for sure if I will be attending sakuracon I will sign up for that division!

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #3 on:** September 09, 2006, 05:24:36 pm »

Wow! An awesome response already!

Since this thread is here I thought I'd call out to a couple of people that already signed up with Pocky Club but we had bad emails.

First of all, Shayna O'Dee, please email us at pockyclub@gmail.com

Secondly, the yojimbo in the fedora who gave me their email on a scrap of paper. If you could email us as well that'd help. I don'twant to leave people out after all!

Wolfwood, are you on our mailing list yet?

now that the con is over and I'm catchng up with my mudane work I hope to get back to some Pocky Props to donate to the club as shamless self promotion. I might be going to Sakura Con I was asked to do my class there and run the repair station but it depends on a lot of things.

I'll try to bring something to the next meeting

I'd like to help out this time if I do decide to go to Sakuracon. I still feel bad about missing that meeting on Saturday and want to make up for it.

valliegirl · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2006, 09:33:47 am »

If we found a way of going to Sakuracon, I'd totally be helping with Pocky Club up there.

And yes, I will eventually update the website.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #17 on:** September 10, 2006, 11:40:23 am »

Hey, there's an idea.
If you guys could please link any photos of club members to this thread? I want to get copies on our website for the records.

I've been compiling the galleries I've seen on the forums. Theyr'e all linked on this post;
http://www.kumoricon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=55975#55975

We'll make sure and credit photographers of course.

I want everyone to be able to know what the members of Pocky club look like so we're easier to get in touch with. Heh, it's something I've been telling the Con staff to do for awhile now.

A lot of people have been asking us to get a cosplay catalog together so that'll be something for us to work on as well.

hm~ here's a really cute picture of neko-chan and princess i took.
