Uwajimaya meet-up anyone? =)

[Zhalfirin]

Hello everyone!

A couple of my buds and I make it a habit to go to Uwajimaya once or twice a month, if not to buy something, to window shop with extreme prejudice. =) We figured, with Kumoricon having just finished, and as we were unable to complete the previous Uwajimaya get together as was previously posted, we thought we'd give it another go, eh? Date and time always subject to change if need be, but what we got thus far is as follows:

Where: Beaverton Uwajimaya (www.Uwajimaya.com)  - Directions and address found on website

When: Sunday, September 16th @ 2:00PM

- Lunch at Sambi's following Uwajimaya @ approx 3:30PM

If I'm missing anything, please let me know. =) I figured we could all just meet out in front of the store, have a bit of introduction time, and proceed to ravage. In addition, there are two Japanese restaurants very close by with reasonable prices. Hakatamon, which is actually in Uwajimaya, and Sambi's, which is just down the street. I believe Hakatamon is closed between 2PM-5PM, but Sambi's should be open. Should peoples be hungry, I thought a late lunch at 3:00/4:00, depending on how long we shop, would be nice.

Anywho, input is welcome if anyone has anything to add. Hope to see you there! ^^


UPDATE

It looks like Festival Japan will be taking place at Uwajimaya this weekend as well. For additional information, please visit http://www.jaso.org/. In addition, I've been informed that a Kumoricon booth, as well as preregistration for 08' at the lowest possible price of $25 will be available. Please visit the thread located at http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=5518.0 for further information. =D

Noice! I probably won't be able to make it this time  but you should post something next time you go! ^.^ I'd love to go there I've never been! *cowers in corner*

[EveofAbyss]

I plan to be there that weekend, both days, because of their festival. I am going to see A-Key Kyo again! w00t. But yeah, I will be there, maybe I will cross paths with you. ^_^

[totemo_oishii]

Ehhhh ~? Festival!?

I'll be in Seattle that weekend. 
Sometime again, okay? 

[melchizedek]

Hey I can be there sunday at 2pm yay!

[BlackjackGabbiani]

I can join in, but I may be a bit late, since I'd probably take the bus there and I'm not sure when it comes.

[MichaelEvans]

It's a bummer working nightshift on many Saturday nights, that weekend I'm even filling in Sunday night too so even though I live near there there's no way I can make it

[SachiNoDa]

Ohhh~  I've been looking for an excuse to head to Uwajimaya again anyway~  :3  Looks like this would be a fun idea~

I'll most likely be there. :3!

[TanisNikana]

Count me in. ^_^

[Black~Rose]

I Love that store!! I went there all the time when I lived in portland  Now I live in salem and I dont go as often. Which meens less seaweed *sniff* (Yes I like seaweed) I got my advent children profiles book there too!! and my vincent figurien !!! VINCENT!!! *fangirl scream* Lol

[superjaz]

seattle? you must go to the uwajimayas there its soooo huge

[Wanganator]

awww... man.... I'm moving back to seattle that weekend... I guess I'm gonna miss out

[EveofAbyss]

Gee, a lot of Seattle action that weekend, eh?

[laurifer]

Ah well I don't think I can go...man the second Uwajimaya meetup attempt and I can't even make it! *wails*

[Zhalfirin]

Gah! So much Seattle and work action. O.o

Well, as I said in my original post, I go with a good sized group of my friends (whom were at k-con, and likely on here in some form) just about twice a month or so... I guess we'll just have to schedule a second coming in a couple weeks, eh? =) Keep your eyes peeled for Uwajimaya - PART DEUX!

I've also got my myspace address in my profile somewheres...feel free to add me if you'd like to join in with all the bulletinley goodness that takes place as well. ^^

EveofAbyss - What festival is going on?

Paul-  Tell me if you are really going then I might consider it!

It's called Festival Japan...this Saturday and Sunday at Uwajimaya: http://www.jaso.org/

[totemo_oishii]

Awww....now I really wish I could go....

[Kaiware]

Rrrrrrrrrrr......

I already really wanted to go to the festival and I can't because of work!  Now I want to go even more!  I got to Uwaji a lot, but Uwaji with fellow con freaks?  Fun!

Frustrating since I work at the new seasons down the street, which is so close, yet not close enough.

You should have one on a thursday or friday!

[misamisa]

I'm thinking of skipping out on work that day, actually.   
I'll let you know if I'm gonna be there.

Ohhh~  I've been looking for an excuse to head to Uwajimaya again anyway~  :3  Looks like this would be a fun idea~

I'll most likely be there. :3!

Which Mako were you?  Were you the tall one with the heart-shaped glasses or the shorter one who was a Higurashi fan that I talked to a couple of times?  (I went as Mion and Shion in her school outfit)
I was psyched to see Nerima Daikon Brothers cosplayers!

I was the shorter one.  The one who kept drawing Matt Engarde "Nyoron~s" and asking if you brought the tacos for the fee-aysta!  YAY!  I'll get to see you again!!

[misamisa]

OMG Hi!   You were one of the funnest people I talked to at the con.  I didn't see the Matt Engarde Nyoron~s though.  Too bad, because Matt Engarde is badass.
 I didn't bring any tacos for the fee-aysta, because I'm lactose intolerant and they all have cheese.

(I had to watch that Casey & Friends video again on YouTube because of you.  )  Yay for Pinatas!

[Antares]

WE might have a booth at Festival Japan -- see here:

Waa, you really mean it?  >///< Heee~!!  I had lots of fun talking with you too~~  *A* And I agree with you.  Matt Engarde IS badass.    I'll draw you an Matt Nyorongarde at the festival!

Well, maybe we can play with the pinatas afterwards anyway. X3 X3

[leashy]

Whee, K-con is officially going to be there!! Everyone needs to have run and register ^^

[superjaz]

[sailorspazz]

[TanisNikana]

I'll be at the Kumoricon booth at two on Sunday.

[melchizedek]

Yes, I'm planning on comming, I work saturday night but I can make it after some nappage.

[Shadow]

I'm planning on going to the Japan Festival. =3 I don't know which day yet though. I might cosplay depending on the weather. Either Matt or Shadow. 

[TanisNikana]

As some advice, wear your badges (at least at first) so we can find each other more easily. ^_^

[Black~Rose]

Yayyy!!! I Plan on Going Sunday!! and I'm trying to convince my friend to wear our hojo and (I'm) Lucrecia cosplays!!
We are still working on our cosplays mind you, but they are fairly good. lol.

Either that or I'll just wear the aerith outfit. Oooor I'll wear my tifa cosplay, except with a longer white shirt, (I'll only wear the short white shirt the saukura, and kumoricon convention.) I'll also probably be carrying a vincent plushie (and as lucrecia, a bundled up sephiroth plushy!!

[BlackjackGabbiani]

I'll be in normal clothes, but I'll bring my badge.

[Black~Rose]

I'll be in normal clothes, but I'll bring my badge.

My "normal" clothes arent even that normal, today I went to school looking like the girl version of vincent lol Thats right, I'm Cool

[State Alchemist]

I'd give anything to not work on Saturday. Hopefully I can convince my papa to take me and some homies on Sunday though.

[Manganix78]

I'll also bring my badge, but, I'm hoping the weather does'nt get too hot or cold outside! I'm pretty sure I'll be able to attend both days of the festival. Oh yah, I will also be bringing my camera if there are any cosplayers attending, so let me know if anybody wants to get their picture taken!

 but I might put on what I have of my Lucrecia crescent cospla. I dont have the labcoat and my skirt isnt done but yeah.....I'll be traveling with either a Turk or Hojo, Ooor I might put on my Tifa FFVII with a longer white shirt (I'd be freezing in a sort white shirt lol) It depends on weather and my friend.

I dont know I'll have to talk to my friend about it. We plan to go at like 10:30 (its a fairly long drive from salem) and stay till at the very least, 4:00, or 5:00 It Depends on my mom.

[TanisNikana]

Awesome! Bunches of people are going!

Also, when we get around to Sambi, I recommend the katsu donburi. ^_^

[Black~Rose]

[Shadow]

Ok! All is good. I'll be there at about 11am. =3 I'll be cosplaying as Matt. The furry vest will be hard to miss. LOL. Come up and say hi if you see me! I'd love to meet you all!

[TanisNikana]

You know what's funny? No one from the con recognized me here on the forums. I certainly hope you guys'll recognize me at Uwaji from the forums. >.>

[Black~Rose]

I'll be there, as Aerith, so all the people from the con hopefully will recognize me! Plus its a fairly warm outfit that I wont freeze to death in And All that pink stands out lol.

[Shadow]

I'll be walking around with my friend as Aeris, and my friend wearing her DGM jacket.
