Now that Todd Haberkorn has been announced as a guest for next year, who would be interested in another Team Haberkorn dinner?
The one last year was great and I'd be happy to do it again.

Location: Little Italy's, Sunday at 4:00 P.M. Meet-up at the clock tower at 3:45.

Those attending:

Tsundere Prussian and friend
KyoKyo866
Dignified
Tsukinya and husband
Laura
Himura Kenshin and other half
Eldunari

Sign-ups are now closed. However, if someone has to cancel, one person who's not on the list can take part if they're interested.

Question: would said dinner be at the same location, or possibly somewhere else?

princess_of_zeal · « **Reply #2 on:** October 05, 2012, 01:19:51 am »

Details? I was not aware of the last "Team Haberkorn dinner" but I'm curious now.

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 05, 2012, 12:06:26 pm »

Washougal_Otaku: I plan to do Little Italy's again.

princess_of_zeal: I arrange Team Haberkorn dinners at cons that Todd Haberkorn attends (the first one was called a Greedling dinner).
So far, I've done two of them. One at Kumoricon '11 and the last one at Sakura Con '12.
The Risembool Ranger dinners for Vic Mignogna inspired me to the same thing for Todd. They've been a lot of fun and I look forward to doing them at more conventions.

Here's a clip from the one at Sakura Con:

So, you (and others) host a meal for Todd Haberkorn? *is clueless*

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 05, 2012, 09:55:39 pm »

That's correct. It's for Todd and his fans. I arrange it and make reservations for him and a certain number of people and we have dinner at a restaurant.

i would so join in on this.....

Fuyuko · « **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2012, 10:48:42 pm »

I never got the chance to meet him, and I've been wanting to; so I would love to be a part of this. : DD

princess_of_zeal · « **Reply #8 on:** October 06, 2012, 07:36:38 am »

Depending on the day and location, I am very interested then. ^_^

Do the other attendees pitch in for his meal and/or pay for their own meal? (Just trying to get the other details so I make sure I clearly understand) Pardon my ignorance.

Tsukinya · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2012, 09:39:30 am »

My husband and I would LOVE to partake in this! We're not crazy, squeeing Haberkorn fans; we just respect his would and would be ecstatic to meet him. Sounds like a lot of fun! Count us in

YES!!! I was completely upset that I couldn't have attended the first one, but I should be able to this time. (Is now pondering whether or not to bring ex and new baby to this, too).

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2012, 02:21:31 pm »

princess_of_zeal: No problem. Everyone pays for their own meal and it all goes onto one bill.

Because it's early, I won't make arrangements quiet yet, but I will hold it at Little Italy's. The food there is great and it's fitting, since Todd's the voice of Italy.

veraca · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2012, 02:33:58 pm »

Since it's all in one bill and the location will probably be a Washington location, you should all factor into your meal-bill tax before you even considering tip or no tip.

From the Vic dinners my friends and I have hosted in years past, Tax had always been an issue since the majority were coming from Oregon- some people would bring way too much for tax and some would bring way too little, or the money that was intended for a tip was invested into the tax. Everything did work out, of course.

It's lots of fun to hang with people you don't normally do for an hour or two

If you get the chance and can go, I'd highly suggest going. Also if you know the restaurant in advance, you can usually go in and request to have a copy of their menu to look over prices, or it will be online. Most locations don't go over 10-15$ for a main-course, and most appetizers are 3-7$. Places like the Dragon Fish has a variety of prices, while places like the Cheesecake Factory (both in Seattle) are on the higher end and could top 20$. So, you might want to look into sharing plates.

princess_of_zeal · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2012, 05:13:21 pm »

This certainly sounds awesome, when you have more details, I will let you know if I can commit or not. If you're getting close to reaching the limit of people or needing an answer, let me know and I'll make a solid decision then. I am a fan of Todd Haberkorn but I promise not to go crazy fan girl.

CaptnPoptart · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2012, 06:07:49 pm »

I have heard about this before and this year sounds like a plan! Now that I'm actually getting more "involved" with stuff at conventions xD
Also my friend is a huge Todd fan, so she will PROBABLY force me to go with her to it xD

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 08, 2012, 12:33:43 am »

veraca: That's good advice, I'll be sure to remember.

princess_of_zeal: I'll be sure to do that. Because it's early, it'll be a while before I do a cap limit.

CaptnPoptart: Good for you. I hope to see you and your friend there.

That's just called "poor planning" if it's a constant problem. It's one thing if it's your first time doing it, but repetitively...? Come on now, you should be on top of this. 8.2%. Not hard.

Lylandra76 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2013, 06:28:48 pm »

I would love to go as long as I am not working. Todd is awesome and I can't wait to see him again a t Kumo! I saw him at Sakura last year too.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2013, 01:24:23 pm »

I wouldn't mind going again, even though he wasn't able to make it the last time, it was still a lot of fun

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2013, 02:52:58 am »

Wow how did I not notice this here xD Cha count me in! I go every year~~

Himura Kenshin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2013, 10:33:32 am »

I'm also interested.

TsunderePrussian · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2013, 03:40:32 am »

Definitely want to go again. c:

dagsmajags123 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 29, 2013, 09:07:04 am »

I'd be more then happy to join, this is my first time going to Kumoricon and I want to get the best out of it~!

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 23, 2013, 11:28:53 pm »

I'll start a mock sign-up now and open a real one on May 15th. For the moment, I'll take up to ten people. If there are more than that who'd like to be involved, then I'll increase it by at least five. Around late May or early June, we'll discuss a time and day.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2013, 11:02:43 pm »

I call spot on this fake list

And for a friend of mine too (the Austria who usually follows me around to these :3)

Fuyuko · « **Reply #25 on:** April 25, 2013, 01:45:07 pm »

I wouldn't mind getting in on this! I've been wanting to meet Todd anyway; so this might be my chance! c:

Tsukinya · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2013, 04:53:31 pm »

Count me and my hubby in for two!

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #27 on:** April 26, 2013, 01:20:09 am »

Dont forget me! The last one was a lot of fun!!

Fuyuko · « **Reply #28 on:** May 01, 2013, 07:06:06 pm »

You can take me off the list. I won't be going to Kcon. :C

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 02, 2013, 11:08:25 am »

I know we aint talkin dates yet but personal opinion, probably Day 1 would be good since the ball is Day 2 ;w; (and i made sure the make the world meetings much earlier so we dont have to put up with the time drama)

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #30 on:** May 03, 2013, 09:39:13 am »

Well, last time it was on Day 0, and he wasn't there as I understand. Perhaps Day 1 would be best, but the safest way to make sure he can be there is to work things out with Relations.

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 15, 2013, 02:48:15 am »

The official sign-up is now open. I'll take 15 people and if anyone chooses to cancel if the limit is reached, someone else can take their place. (If it gets close to that number quick enough, I'll change it to 20) Sign-ups will close on the 31st and around that time at the latest, we should discuss a time and place.

TsunderePrussian · « **Reply #32 on:** May 15, 2013, 07:46:41 am »

Count me in. c:
I'll be going for sure. c:

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #35 on:** May 16, 2013, 02:59:48 pm »

Me and Dignfiied (the Austria that was around me a lot) :3 same as always

Tsukinya · « **Reply #36 on:** May 16, 2013, 04:49:18 pm »

Myself and my husband, still in for two

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #37 on:** May 16, 2013, 09:13:12 pm »

Ah! Also I'm asking for a spot for my friend Laura, she doesnt have a kc account so she asked me to tell ya for her ;w;

TsunderePrussian · « **Reply #38 on:** May 16, 2013, 10:20:57 pm »

Oh! Also reserve a spot for my friend as well. (She doesn't have an account.)

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #39 on:** May 20, 2013, 01:47:06 pm »

Please go ahead and put Chan_Highwind and I down on the list. (Chances are that our infant son would be coming, too).

Himura Kenshin · « **Reply #40 on:** May 31, 2013, 04:50:28 am »

If it's not too late I'd like a spot on that list also, and one for my other half as well.

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #41 on:** May 31, 2013, 03:42:59 pm »

Today's the final day for sign-ups. They close at midnight.

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 01, 2013, 12:14:44 am »

Sign-ups are now closed.
Since the con's a little closer, we should start discussing a time and place.
Since we had the first one at Little Italy's, I was thinking of holding it there again.
But this time, I'd like to do it after day zero. The turnout was great, but this time, I'd like to try for a time that'd work better for Todd.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #43 on:** June 02, 2013, 12:24:30 am »

I would honestly recommend getting in touch with the Relations department, since guests fall under that domain. Aiming for Saturday might be a good start, though.

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 02, 2013, 01:02:08 am »

I have been e-mailing Todd about it and in his last reply, he recommended that I contact his social media manager. I did, but haven't gotten a response yet.
It might be best to schedule it on Sunday night instead, since the guest reception is held on Saturday.

KyoKyo866 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 02, 2013, 09:00:17 am »

But isnt sunday night the night of the ball??? We need to take that into consideration. (i know a few of us have been looking forward to that for a long time ;n; )

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #46 on:** June 02, 2013, 02:27:18 pm »

^ & ^^ These are why I suggest the Relations department, as the Programming department might be a smart idea, as well. We are talking about working around Kumoricon's schedule, which Todd is part of it.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #47 on:** June 02, 2013, 04:50:58 pm »

The Ball is at 8, so we could do the dinner at 430-5, get out at like 600-630 to get ready for the ball.

PaladinCecil79 · « **Reply #48 on:** June 05, 2013, 01:46:10 am »

4:30 to 5:00 sounds pretty good to me and I sent an e-mail to the Relations department about getting Todd involved.

TsunderePrussian · « **Reply #49 on:** June 06, 2013, 11:39:34 am »

I agree, 4:30 - 5:00 also works for me.
