I work both days but want to somehow come out and at least try to register for Kumoricon 2012 if possible.

In 2010, the Sakura fest (or Spring fest, if that's what you'd like to call it) was also pretty small and disapointing, but the Festival Japan in 2010 was really fun ^^ There was a ton of things going on.

Well there was at least 5 or 6 food booths (mostly stir fried food and BBQ stuff. Also Taiyaki). There where about 3 game booths for the younger kids. A kumoricon booth. Lots of booths selling things like, buttons, T-shirts, cellphone charms, little decorations, baboo plants, other kinds of plants such as flowers, magazines, and some other things i don't quite remember. Live music. Some sales going on in the actual store. Crafts... And some other stuff i don't remember xD

I'll probably head there one of the days. =3 Anyone know if there will be a kumoricon booth? o.o I usually pre-reg at this event. T.T I'd be real disappointed if there wasn't a booth this time.

I can appear on Sunday as Luigi. Bringing the sounds and maybe snackies.

Riitah~ · « **Reply #41 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:00:14 pm »

sounds awesome to me! Should I cosplay though? My friend wants me to cosplay with her, but I'm not sure. It seems a lot of other people are, but last /I/ heard people at Uwajimaya get anal when people cosplay in the store and stuff. So, I don't know.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:26:10 pm »

For cosplay I would say something comfortable to wear and walk around. Nothing really fragile or large since the area isn't all that big and there will be people walking/running around. And warning that this is Oregon so it may be hot and possibly rain...B/c Oregon's awesome like that and omg I missed you so ;A; (sorry, was in Florida for 2 weeks >>)

I'm gonna wear Riku one day. And maybe do my Hatter if my other Wonderland group wants to come and hang ^^

kylite · « **Reply #43 on:** September 23, 2011, 05:39:50 pm »

Based on the front page. No events listed on the website, no informaiton from the higher ups, and its happening tomorrow, Im gnna guess K-Con has no booth this time around

note: I do hope I am wrong

After trying it for my first time, I'm down for seconds at a future meet.
And if you were planning on marketing it, I say go for it.

And this time I caught at least the last quarter of the festival rather than the last 10th like last year. Hopefully next year I can make it to the whole thing.
