hhhhhhmmmm sounds good to me... maybe I'll go *ponders*

Shadow · « **Reply #3 on:** March 19, 2006, 07:12:34 pm »

That sounds fun. Since I couldn't go to the festival, maybe I can make it to this.

If I can go, I'll be there in my Shadow cosplay. ^_^

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #4 on:** March 19, 2006, 07:58:46 pm »

I think that there should be a forum Meet-up! >D Everyone should go! And do para para with me!

sukotto · « **Reply #5 on:** March 19, 2006, 08:26:58 pm »

Sounds Good, I will be there with my digital camera.

yukimizu · « **Reply #6 on:** March 19, 2006, 08:45:42 pm »

I'll definately be there! I should dress up too! XDD

Shadow · « **Reply #7 on:** March 19, 2006, 08:52:02 pm »

Yes, everybody should cosplay! Then we can all meet up and take pictures.

yukimizu · « **Reply #8 on:** March 19, 2006, 10:10:13 pm »

I probably won't be able to make my own cosplay, but I will be able to buy a costume by then! Hopefully I'll be able to get everything before the festival!

Eternal Yamcha · « **Reply #9 on:** March 20, 2006, 03:11:53 am »

I'll probably be there with a few friends, haven't been up to Uwajimaya for awhile now.

Indeed, I agree. I'm having debates about whether or not I should go to Kumoricon this year, so I think it'd be fun to meet some people who'd be attending, to make it more worthwhile. I don't know alot of the people who attend Kumoricon, so I'd love to meet more of you guys!

leashy · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2006, 03:33:21 pm »

Ohh that sounds like fun! what is the festival like?!

yukimizu · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2006, 07:32:57 pm »

I've only been to it twice, and both times I missed out on alot because of the people I was with. But it was awesome seeing everything and so much going on. Lots of fun!

Eternal Yamcha · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2006, 09:42:27 pm »

I don't remember if this was the Sakura Fesitival or not, but I hope that it doesn't shower like it did last year. Nice and dry, clouds build up, cold cold downpours follow. It was sad.

Alright alright, I'll try to save up some money, so I can go! I didn't have much fun last year due to a roommate dispute. See my roomie was supposed to pay 1/3 of the room, and ended up only giving me like.. 20$ for the entire weekend. Told me he didn't have enough money. So I'm hoping to avoid that situation again.

Yukimizu I love MiniMoni tooo! ^__^ -hugs- We can hang out a talk about minimoni stuff!

Eternal Yamcha · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2006, 09:50:18 am »

Does anyone know if Sambi's has opened up again? I hope so. If there is a K-Con meet up at the Sakura Fesitival, we MUST go to Sambi's... I don't think they moved that far away from Uwajimaya... Don't remember *looks at clock* Been up all night.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2006, 10:10:10 am »

I've totally gotta be there, if only to show you all my crazy hair.
:wink:

I live in Beaverton now and it should be super easy for me to get over there.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #26 on:** March 24, 2006, 09:32:39 am »

Total Mini Moni fan.
Want to hear my claim to MM fandom?

I imported Mini Moni, The Great Cake Adventure DVD without a zone free DVD player. it took me a week to get the right program on my computer and it still has no english subtitles.

It's an awesome movie though, I just kinda wish I knew what was going on some of the time. (we should probably make a Mini Moni thread....)

I sent out a Pocky Club email to notify everyone of the event. I'm definitely going to be there and if there's enough of us it will become our Post-Sakuracon meeting!

yukimizu · « **Reply #27 on:** March 24, 2006, 09:47:59 am »

OOOH! Is the movie subbed, because I know like..0 Japanese. XD Sorta. We should make a mini moni Strawberry Pie cosplay, because I totally love Aibon/Nono's waitress costumes! Oh and have giant Strawberry plushes. AND APPLES. Yes. Sorry. Cosplay giddy. XD

I'm getting so excited about all this, I think I'll totally go to Kumoricon, because you guys seem like a really fun reason! (before I was really doubtful because of the stress and friends/drama stuff. But you guys are making me have hope in Kumoricon and friends and YAY)

superjaz · « **Reply #28 on:** March 29, 2006, 12:59:05 am »

superjaz is last to know about these things, who is mini mon explain as if i'm a sad newbi living is a cave

yukimizu · « **Reply #29 on:** March 29, 2006, 01:07:07 am »

All I really know about Mini Moni is that it was formed by Mari Yaguchi, and was girls who were under 150cm tall. It originally was Mari Yaguchi, Ai Kago, Tsuji Nozomi, & Mika Todd. In 2003 Mari Yaguchi left Mini Moni and was replaced with Ai Takahashi, lifting the under 150cm rule a bit, as Takahashi was 153cm. Mika Todd was replaced Mari Yaguchi as the leader. In May of 2004, Mika graduated to study music in America. Ai Kago & Nozomi Tsuji graduated from Morning Musume, and formed w(double you), and Ai Takahashi remains in Morning Musume.
For the time being. Mini Moni is disbanded.

Currently, Ai Kago is under indefinate suspension for being caught smoking underaged. W's latest single/album releases have been cancelled.
Tsuji Nozomi has possibly been placed in another sub group of Morning Musume, to remind fans that she isn't "Just the other half of W"

Information gathered from various sources, but mostly from
http://wiki.theppn.org/Mini_Moni

Hope that helped a bit.

Oh crap, it's the same weekend as the Sakuracon elections! Are they going to have one at the Seattle Uwajimaya?

Sorry to revive this thread again, but I was wondering how many people were going to the festival in cosplay? I'm planning to, but I don't want to be the only one. ^^;

Big News

Kumoricon is going to have a Booth at Sakura Festival.

[/i] People can register, sign up the new monthy email newsletter, and get friendly with our staff by volunteering. Come and visit us we are going to have lots of fun!

Eternal Yamcha · « **Reply #35 on:** April 07, 2006, 03:20:20 am »

That there is some big news. Well, odds are, I'll be up there with a few of my friends for the event.

I know that there is a K-Con meet up there, but I'd like to take it one step further and start gathering people now to head out to either the new restaurant there (can't remember it's name, I JUST went for the first time in a few months earlier today) or, if Sambi's is open again (shouldn't be too far from Uwajimaya) sometime during the festival... Either during or right after. I've been CRAVING some good ol' Cali Rolls.

superjaz · « **Reply #36 on:** April 07, 2006, 11:04:03 am »

yay this is gonna be fun!! i can't wait!! should i wear my proto type sakaki cosplay? or just some good old fashioned cat ears?

Either one you prefer. Personally I love seeing cosplay anywhere, and everywhere, so I'd vote for cosplay over just kitty ears. But I love kitties, and kitty ears would make me squee. XD (I'm really indecisive, so I'm prohbably the WORST person to ask for advice..lol)

ok so what happens at this festival? what are the hours there is a kc booth? i work in eugene 630a to noon, but depending on what else is going on in my life at the time, i would consider going up after that, to help at the kc booth and otherwise network, especially if anyone else could give me a ride up from eugene....anyone?

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #40 on:** April 07, 2006, 06:29:37 pm »

I'm not gonna cosplay. I need a new Obi and under garments for the 4+ Kimonos I own. I have a really awesome red/pink one that would be perfect, but it's hung up on my wall. XD My gold/yellow/white one looks sooo good with the Gold obi, but I don't have the understuff or the socks (I lost my tobi socks and my zori hurt my feet). Lol, Complain.

I'll just be in regular clothing like a looser. :/ I'll have my Totoro backpack? -shrugs- I'll try and bring Pocky for you guys. <3

superjaz · « **Reply #41 on:** April 07, 2006, 07:29:46 pm »

well and then theres anime clothing i could wear my vash tri gun tee shirt with my kuro neko hoodie and black cat earrings or my GIR shirt
i dont know i might bring the sakaki just to show you neko then if a lot of people are cosplaying i might change into it (cuz i'm a chicken)
and i'll be bringing a birthday gift for everyones fave otaku and the heart of pocky club neko chan
@ rem

Anyway, I'm trying to organize ANOTHEr get together in the Portland Area on Friday night because Silent hill premieres this week!
