Moshi Moshi Gallery will be presenting "The art of Japanese animation" from August 7th - September 3rd - with the opening reception from 6pm-9pm on Thursday August 7th. I have been thinking of curating this exhibition for a while as this is often overlooked as art and totally deserves some attention in a gallery format. There will be some fancy stuff on display (Studio Ghibli, Osamu Tezuka, etc.) from the 1970's to the current decade. Please make it to the opening exhibition (in costume if you like!) or if it is too far away then please come by during KumoriCon weekend. Keep an eye on moshi-moshi.com for more details.

Keewl! Looks really interesting, and the timing couldn't be more perfect. I'll definitely be stopping by sometime this month. ^_^

I will have to drop by, I like to support the industries growth in america.

I want to go. Maybe we could get a group together to go sometime ^_^ It looks really cool

It definitely could make for a fun and educational forumster event. Does anyone think they would actually have down time during the Con weekend to visit it, or should a meetup be in August, before the con? I think I'd probably be too busy during the Con to go, or I'd probably just plumb forget all about it in the craziness of everything.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #5 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:22:53 am »

I think it should be before the con. I already have a lot of plans during the con and I don't think I want to leave the hotel for long periods of time (just once to go ice skating)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #6 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:50:58 am »

I agree with that. Whatever date people decide on, I'd be fine with most likely. I really don't have much going on, unfortunately, haha. As long as it isn't sweltering out, I'd be fine with going downtown.

Does anyone know what animation artwork series they will be showing exactly? If they have some of my fav series' Id like to go check them out since I am a cel collector myself

nikkiolie · « **Reply #8 on:** August 03, 2008, 10:00:47 am »

so does anyone have a date? Maybe we can do it during the early con on the 10th?

My wife and daughter will want to go to this as they have been learning to draw anime and manga style.

If I get bored at the con, I'll be sure to stop by sometime

Sweet, Gegege No Kitaro! I just learned about that today, and it looks super cute! That's a great collection of art to be featured. ^_^

I haven't heard it enough to remember it, lol.

Yo,

The good people at Moshi Moshi are teaming with Kumoricon and we have linked to their site from our main page here: http://www.kumoricon.org/

Anyone want to get together on Thursday night for their opening show?

Or leading up to the con (I see nikkiolie mentioned the 10th)? I agree, at-con may be pretty hectic, but can you imagine a bunch of cosplayers busing it over to Downtown? Awesome (anyone know bus route from Doubletree to Burnside?)

(also, this thread may be moved to the Meetup forum)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2008, 07:50:53 am »

That would be an entertaining sight, haha. I just know, though, for me, I only have a couple hours of down time (not sleeping time) a day during the con, and I really need that down time, heh. I don't think I could spend it on a bus, but who knows? If the weather isn't too punishing outside (i.e. hot and gross), I could be up for making a bus trip. I can't really decide anything until I know the schedule though.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2008, 08:19:09 pm »

I'm planning on going tomorrow no matter what

My decision is in cosplay or not. The only costume I have ready is my PJ Bridget and if I wear that I don't wanna be the only cosplayer there...any one else dressing up?

Spork · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2008, 09:21:49 pm »

I'm cosplaying!

See you kids there!

Also, for those of you wondering how to get there on the bus, you can take the #20 to Powell's and walk East about half a block, or you can take the streetcar to Powell's and do the same.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:22:37 pm »

I mentioned the 10th because we are going to the double tree and will kinda be in the area. If anyone is interest I am willing to go. I don't have to work that day ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:23:30 pm »

I'd be interested in going to this if we wanted to on Sunday, during the Pre-Con Meet. It'd be a good time for me anyway.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:24:51 pm »

I figure it's as good of a time as any. I'll add it to the topic and see if anyone else is interested.

laurifer · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:32:36 pm »

I thought Moshi Moshi was closed on Sundays? Cos last time my friend and I wanted to go but it was closed

nikkiolie · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:33:15 pm »

......wow that would suck. I don't know though I have never been there.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:34:10 pm »

yup it is closed on Sunday.....v.v

laurifer · « **Reply #25 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:38:54 pm »

Yeah...thank goodness we checked on my phone before actually walking there XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #26 on:** August 06, 2008, 11:03:38 pm »

I'll just have to find some other time to go, Lord knows I have the time, lol.

Spork · « **Reply #27 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:19:34 am »

we are closed on Sundays. We're open from 11-6 every other day. I hope to see some of you there tonight.

Kimiski · « **Reply #28 on:** August 10, 2008, 10:36:27 pm »

Weee! I wanna go! Maybe I'll stop by the say before the con and look around, I'm not sure I'll have much free time to stop there during the actual con

Kimiski · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2008, 09:13:07 pm »

Sweet Im going tomorrow, I'll be in Portland then!

Moshi Moshi · « **Reply #30 on:** August 30, 2008, 02:23:17 pm »

Moshi Moshi will be open on Labor day (Monday) from 11 am - 6pm for any out of towners that want to stop in on the way out...
