* Sakura Festival at Uwajimaya, April 21st *
I got this from the Yuuyake Shimbun:
Uwajimaya Plaza, Portland's largest Asian grocery and gift store, holds its Sakura Festival every year. The festival is free and everyone in the community is invited to come and experience the music, entertainment and great food this exciting event offers, so mark April 21st on your calender.
---
I'm planning on going, and possibly wearing my Alice costume. :3
Anyone else going? and is there going to be a K-con booth?
-
Excellent!
Yes, Kumoricon will be there and will have a booth. If anyone wants to help out at the booth, and you haven't talked to Antares yet, please pm her with your info!
We have quite a few people that are going to be there helping out that day, but the more the merrier.
-
I may have to show up if I don't have to work that weekend ^-^
-
*thinks* im unemployed, and have NOTHING but free time on my hands, heck yeah I will be there
-
Darnit! Always a Saturday never a Sunday! Oh well I'm still going on Sunday for the sale!
-
I've got tons of free time on my hands, so I'll definitely (at least) be there just to enjoy the festivities, if not to help out at the table.
-
Oh wow, is it really that time of year again? I think I might take a stab at attending that this year, always wanted to.
-
GAHHHH!!!!
What time would it be over? Prom is the SAME DAY!!! T.T
-
Last year everything died down around 4 or 5 so you should be ok Kimiski alot of the activities really occur in the morning.
I shall definitely be going again this year to help out! And possibly this time in costume ^~
-
GAHHHH!!!!
What time would it be over? Prom is the SAME DAY!!! T.T
Since you are going to the Sakura Festival in your princess Serenity Cosplay your all ready dressed for the prom so you just need to have Darion pick you up at Uwajimaya

Cool. This will be helpful. BTW, most everything I've emailed you, I've cc'd to Chris as well, so you shouldn't be missing anything I've sent. I'm learning.
-
i'm wondering if for some reason i dont get cc e-mail because i'm haveing the same problem with the street team e-mails

Uwajimay is old school for me baby. Me and Leshy ran the booth last year along with so many others like Hawkeye, Darklighter, and the giant banna.... and it was our first promotional event for Kumoricon.
I am so going to be helping with this event too!

Hey I need to work some more on the Spiindrift and Leashy Road Trip movie
-
vondan, can I have a cameo? ^^
-
Yay the Sakura Festival! It's that time again! =3 I'm hoping to go again this year. I'll be going in cosplay, either as Shadow or Matt from Death Note. (Depends on if I can get my Matt costume done or semi-done in time) I'll be bringing some friends too!
-
Ack, I'm going to be gone during that time.
-
Ack, I'm going to be gone during that time.
You'll still be there in spirit! :D
-
Ack, I'm going to be gone during that time.
Gone?
Well you're in Eugene now so technically coming up here would be "Gone" for you wouldn't it?
Or are you ceasing to exist for awhile?
-
ooooo watch out for invisible negima he will snatch yo pocky an you wont even see!!
kowai kowai

I'm going on vacation for awhile to a place where many would probably beat me with their computers should I say where. (In advance: no, not Japan)
ooooo watch out for invisible negima he will snatch yo pocky an you wont even see!!
Ever had one of those moments where you think you dropped a piece of pocky on the ground, look down, and discover nothing is there? That's ME. :twisted:
-

Good point.
When desperate I go for crumbs.
-
i think we should have a photoshoot with all of us from the k-con forums there! how wonderful would that be?
-
I'll bring the camera!
Oh gosh! what am I gonna wear! :oops: I'll hafta buy a new big red shirt for my Mario outfit.
-
are you going as kyoya? then i will have to make my boyfriend act like tamaki
-
Usually a couple of us (20%?) cosplay since it gets the booth more attention.
-
[raises hand]
i'm pretty sure i'll be dressed as alice (with...short brown hair?). i was thinking about wearing my YURA-sama outfit but...
-
:o
If I'm lucky and have enough money to get my Akatsuki cloak at Sakuracon, I'll be cosplaying Itachi.... With short hair o.0
Haha, I'll be looking for you guys...
Is there going to some Kumoricon booth like always? I wanna just hang out at it :I
-
Well I learned today that our plant is going to be shut down on the 21st of April..at least I think he said April..so when the time comes I will probably be there..not sure which cosplay I'll wear, though.
-
Oh mans, I wanna go. >_<
It sounds fun~
...But all my neat outfits/ clothes are in another city.
Yaaay, I'll just run around naked. :D
-
Oh man, not going would be breaking tradition for me. But I may not go in cosplay... it depends on the temperature, Allen's jacket isn't the lightest...
-

*chuckles* now THAT would be quite a sight to see
-

I will probably go dressed as Kairi, with a friend as Sora.
Ashlee, YOU SHOULD COME ;-;
I miss's youu
-
i dont know what i will beable to throw together, been buzzy busy bee lady
tho 5 min cosplays are my secialtiy.....
-
Hmmmm..... I think I'm going to have to go to the cheap T-shirt shop and buy some Red T-shirts. I've been needing to make some Pocky shirsts after all.
-
oh MAN. Being an awesome hobo sucks, and I'm not sure if I'll have my licence by then or not :oops: or if my parents would let me drive that far. I might need to hobo/ninja a ride is anyone going up from the eugene area? X3 I'd bake them a pie :3
-
I'm going to go~
-
woot yay for the neko-chan
-
If Lit can't drive by then, and if someone reminds me, I'll drive a load up from the Ewegene/ Springtucky :lol: area.
-
I think we will go too!! What time does everybody plan to be there?
I'm not sure what I'll cosplay yet. But I'll definitely do something. It's always fun to cosplay~!!
-
I think we will go too!! What time does everybody plan to be there?
I'll be showing up at set up since I'm helping with the booth. Festivities will go from 9-5, so I know I'll be there that whole time, plus some. *L*
-
Beautiful!! We will definitely see you there then!! ^____^ How exciting....!
^_^

XDD? Whaaat.
You make no sense sometimes. She dson't look like any spice girl! I don't even remember what she looks like it's been ten years + sence I've been there.
-
Just a note: I think we have a goodly number of people that have expressed interest in working the booth at this event. Thanks to everyone - Vallie or I will be contacting you soon to nail down details. And we hope to see everyone there (this is a freaking awesome FREE event, and a great store - if you haven't been to Uwajimaya before, this is the time to go!!!) Also, I believe you will be able to register at this event, so stop by if you haven't registered, and you won't be going to SakuraCON in Seattle (where you can also register on-site).
-
I'll probably go to the one in Seattle in a kimono. =)
-
I claim this as the new PockyClubMeetUpThread!!
Garbleyargleugrrrbllllah!!!
So uh, yeah. I'm a little upset but no matter.
I will be there to help at the Kumoricon Booth and this will be the new meeting for Pocky Club this month. I'm going to be giving out forms at the table when I'm there and also making deliveries if any are requested. Please show up in costume* so you can make deliveries too!
It will be like the club has an unlimited supply of Pocky with the store right there! Hopefully they'll have gotten this years shipment of Murasaki Pocky by then!
Someone please bring a digital camera so we can document all of our fun!
*or your loli clothes, which aren't costumes of course. ^_^;
please don't hurt me!
-
Fine be all digital, see if I care, sniff!
I love analog!
-
I like my 35mm camera too! Its a Nikon N8008!
I like my digi cam it don't use film and I can get to incriminating Photoshop work right away
-
I utterly failed at getting my Matt cosplay together in time (and I'll just be getting back from vacation the Monday night before), so I'll be going as Shadow again. ^-^; I'm looking forward to it though!
-

I think I know what I will try and make if i have time
-
I got nothing against real cameras. I really like hard copies.
I'm just less likely to GET copies of film prints.
Then again, I still haven't gotten the pictures I took with Prog's camera at the last con....
-
i'm thinking about stopping at that halloween store sometime before and buying a long blond wig, for my alice cosplay. what do you guys think? or should i keep my hair and be generic maid? :3
(it would be great to have an address for that place too. ;D )
-
An Address for the Halloween store? Hmmmm......
Give me ten minutes with googlemaps and I'll have not just the address but directions from Uwajimaya.
What I tell ya?

Halloween Warehouse
11465 SW Canyon Rd, Beaverton, OR
Open Saturday afternoons
Stage West/Costume Avenue
12760 SW 1st St, Beaverton
Might not be open on weekends but is a very good location for stage type costumes. I got my fake mustache here and some cheap white gloves.
-
thanks tom! i'll see if i can stop by there this weekend. :3

Schedule from the Uwajimaya flier I got!
9:00 am: Issoan Tea Festival
10:00am: Ecole de Budo Raji Martial Arts
10:30am: Obukan Kendo Martial Arts
11:00am: A Key-kyo Japanese Band
12:00am: Monmouth Taiko
1:00pm: Sahomi Tachibana Dancers
1:30pm: Sheridan Japanese School Taiko
2:00pm: Koto Performance by Mitsuki Dazai
2:30pm: US Shisekai Martial Arts
3:00pm: Monmouth Taiko
4:00pm: Japan Traditional Karate-Do
4:30pm: Pacific Martial Arts
I highly suggest staying to watch some of the performances and not just visiting with us at the booth and pigging out on shaved ice. I'm for sure going to watch the Taiko performance at least once.
Also, some of you might remember that A Key-kyo actually performed at Kumoricon last year, so give them a shot too (I wasn't at the concert so I can't say much else).
-
I'm going to be there at about twelve with a bunch of lolita friends. yay.
-
Aaaaagh, I'll be at the coast! X___x
And there's no getting out of it, either 'cause it's church related.
>:
-
Ok you Eugeniuses, what time do we want to be there? Or What time are you willing to go? Getting there for tea sounds like an idea. BUt I am also thinking that going to a Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight, would be a great way to make a day and a night of a trip to Portland.
-
Fine be all digital, see if I care, sniff! I love analog!
Just wait till you see all the 35mm I shot at Sakuracon on my Pentax SLR.
-
mmm I can't wait
I hope I can get a wig in time
-
That graphic cracks me up Fudokage.
I've been looking through some of the Sakuracon pictures to find people on our boards. Mostly because I'm eager to find out what happened to the Pocky Club members that were going to be making deliveries up there. All I have so far is Princess.

-
hey ... he looks eerily familiar. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/seventhsamurai/235393290/in/set-72157594301374555/) lol!
-
Haha I like the other one though. where I'm standing there with my speakerphone all oblivious. I just hate that one, cause I had a paperbag that was WAY TOO BIG
-
ahh, so it's you!
on an unrelated note...
i'd love to know who's wearing what, so i'll recognize you at the festival. i have a bad habit of not recognizing people. x__x
i'll be in my alice in wonderland outfit, and you can see my face in my avatar. XD
-
yep, that's me!
Hmm I'm not positive what I'll be wearing yet.... If it's cold, expect the balzacket I'm known for. Definitely tight black jeans with skelegloves out the back pocket. If it's warm I'll be wearing a t-shirt, not sure what yet. But with that description, it should be easy to find me.
Oh ya, to make things easier, I have like one strip of bleached hair in the front, and the rest of my hair is black.
-

I have no life so I can be there whenever, just tell me the time and place (if we're meeting somewhere) and such and I'll be there :3
-
I also have no life to speak of and would definitely like to meet up, get to know all of you outside the internets.
-
I'm wondering if I should rent a bigger car than what I own. Cram a lot more people comfortably in a SUV than my little Honda. My Little Honda, sounds like a kiddy movie.
Just let me know y'all which events we don't want to miss. I can pick-up anywhere. Especially as Lit lives between me and Eugene, sort of.
Let me know how many will be needing a ride from Eugene and points north, including Salem, etc. Soon. May rent a minivan. Could we look more nerdy?
-
Oooohhhhh..... is Clinton Street doing a live show that Saturday?
Hmmm..... where's that website....
http://www.clintonstreetcabaret.com/
Sweet! Live show! And nothing crazy like "18 and Over Night".
I've been waiting a long time to see Rocky again, and I'm for it at the very least jaybug.
Mustash, tell me you're up for this.
XD
-
Hey, I'd also be up for seeing Rocky Horror. I've never actually seen it in a theater. Does anyone else know all the fun things to yell at the screen?
-
Actually, I've never seen rocky horror...so sounds fun :D
-
I do believe a couple of us down here are under 18, so I don't know what that will do to plans.
Maybe a bunch of gruff geeks will go see a movie of buff Greeks? I'd rather see Rocky again, but what the hey!
-
300?
-
I've already seen it, but if that's what some of you are planning, I'm with you.
TONIGHT WE DINE IN APPLEBEES!
-
I'm up for anything, and I would love to get there as early as possible :3 300 would be GRAND I'll bring the sweedish fish :D
-
The live show at Clinton Street will not be a problem for minors. Seriously. I went and checked their schedule even, when they have an 18-or-older show they let you know. c'mon guys! Pleeeease lets go see Rocky?
I'd rather us switch because it's a midnight show rather than switch because we have minors in the group.
300 is a good alternate though. Maybe I'll bring the book for you guys to look at earlier in the day. We can go see it at the sweet Century theater
Hmm.... What time should Pocky Club have their meeting?
I don't want to conflict with Taiko or Kendo.
Also,
I CURSE OF SWEDISH FISH ON YOU! (http://www.boxofmystery.com/cartoons/ducktalez3.html)
I can't think of Swedish Fish without hearing that.
-
NO DAD DON'T
YOU'LL DESTROY THE ENTIRE PLANET
...or something along those lines.
-
hahaha That was entirely awesome X3
Why don't I have any buttons?
-
i'd love to know who's wearing what, so i'll recognize you at the festival. i have a bad habit of not recognizing people. x__x
i'm bumping this post in case other people haven't seen it. :3
-
I'm torn between Mario and my Pocky Helm.
I'll probably wear my Pocky Helmet since it's a "club meeting" as well.
-
Hey Tom, I wanted to meet up with everyone and do the whole Rocky thing if we do that. Um, can my boyfriend and I come hang out at the meeting even if were not in Pocky club. If not, we'll just go find something to do while you guys do your stuff.
Just curious.

I'll wear...Hmmm I don't know what I'll wear to that ha I'll be the tall Lish looking girl wearing 4 inch heels X3 I might wear these cool very recognizeable leggings if I fix them in time :3
and I'll probably recognize you so you can just pretend to know who I am XD
-
i think i might recognize you lit. :3 that's a maybe!
no matter what i want a picture with you! ♥ (the two devilishly awesome and hot american j-rockaaahs!)
-
that sounds like the long and short of it
So far it seems like just 4 going from down south up north. I know you are all heartbroken about not going up there in a Cadillac. Oh wait I said minivan didn't I? Well, I am so glad we won't need one of those.
But if no one tells me they need a ride from anywhere along the I-5 from Eugene to Uwajimaya real soon, I won't be able to make a reservation for a rental car big enough for all of us.
-

Hey, sure.
Pocky Club Events are partially counting towards volunteer hours so I don't want people thinking that just cuz they go to movie with me and some Clubbers they're racking up a free T-shirt.
All the meeting will be is a few of us taking over a corner of the deli and trying the newest flavors while we go over stuff for our panel. You're welcome to hang out with us and come to whatever movie we go to. Especially if you have a ride. :wink:
We still have room for you if you want to join after all.
-
300?
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
I suppose you also want me to make you a pair of Spartan Speedos, How come no one comes to me to be dressed like Xena
-

-
Are a lot of you wearing cosplay? I think I'll forego it this time, I don't have wigs for either of my two costumes. I had the right hair the first time I wore them.
Might possibly do something schoolgirlish, I wanna whip up a pair of loose socks though. I dunno yet... augh for indecision.
-

-
I and several friends will be in lolita. I can't wait to see you all again, it's been so long!
-
Neko-chan, if I see you guys do you mind if I have a picture with you all? It'll be a dream come true to be surrounded by lolita! ^____^♥
-
Haha, I'm sure it'd be fine. :]
I hope they have that huge hello kitty mascot walking around like they did last year! I want my picture with it again. xD

-
yay, i'm excited!! [absolutely loves excuses to cosplay]
-
Hey, totemo. Question. Your picture seems very familiar. Have I seen you around fari or anything?
-
*sigh* okay well I guess the verdict is in I cannot attend the festival as it conflicts with a jazz festival that I HAVE to attend :c *cries and dies* this sucks >_<
-

I am very sorry! I will take pictures for you though. Jazz ain't bad though
-
Argh I wanna go, but I'm going to a wedding shower, that day. The actual times during the day don't conflict, but I dunno how I'd get to where I needed to go afterwords. Dx
And if I was dressing up, it'd be weird to show up to a wedding shower in Lolita or something, omg. :XD[/size]
-
aww, lit ~ that sucks. D: [hug] i hope i see you some other time then!
fudokage - we were by each other in line for the cosplay competition at last year's kumori-con if that rings a bell. XD that's how i got your picture!
-
I'm going and I'm buying my friend some snackage xP
apparently I owe her.? Haha
Well, she DID buy me ice cream that one time... but she offered. xD
I can't wait~*
I've never been xP
and I get to hang out with thejew if he can persuade his co-worker...
wait... giant hello kitty?!?!?!?

-
Oh! I get to go to this now, since my hiking partner for the weekend is out of commission with some kind of back trouble! Yay! Maybe I'll get to meet some peeps there!
~Wait... I didn't see it was the Portland Uwajimaya... Maybe I can still make it. Anyone have some directions from I-5 S, or good bus routes?
-
I'm going for the first time this year. It sounds fun!
-
It's at the Beaverton Uwajimaya. :3 It's fun! I hope lots of people come in cosplay - if you're thinking about it, go for it! You won't be the only one. ;D
as for directions, I took the max & bus there once (took a while). I don't remember exactly though. ;; check the tri-met site perhaps?
-
Lol, I'm from Tacoma, so if I don't get to borrow a car, it's Amtrak to Portland, then bus from there... Unless anyone else is coming from this far north and wants lots of love and gas monies!

Well, it looks like it'll cost me almost $60 round trip, plus it'll be close to two hours each way... so I probably won't make it if I can't get the car for the day, so I'll try my best on that option! Y'all cross your fingers for me!

Will do! Hope you can make it!

i'd love to know who's wearing what, so i'll recognize you at the festival. i have a bad habit of not recognizing people. x__x
i'm bumping this post in case other people haven't seen it. :3
We will be there in our maid gear. I hope we run into each other--!! ^_^
-
YAAAAY, I PROBABLY GET TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL.
Yaaaaaay.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. >: D
Haha, sorry. I'm just so overjoyed. XD
I thought I was never going to get to go to a Sakura festival. ;_;
[/size]
-
I will probably go. Ill wear my FINISHED Renji costume since it was only half done for SC >_<
-
For those of you thinking of coming from the Sea-tac area, while I don't want to discourage you from coming out here, I had always assumed that the Seattle Uwajimaya would have a similar event at the same time. Anyone know?

i am pretty sure they do
-
Never mind. Judging from their site apparantly Beaverton is the only one. Check it out at www.uwajimaya.com they have a schedule of events at the Sakura Festival.
-
awesome! if anyone's in cosplay, expect a short haired alice (in wonderland) cosplayer to ask for a picture of/with you. ♥♥♥
-
I won't be in cosplay, but I'll probably ask to get a picture with you none the less.
-
I might be persuaded to wear my neko ears.
-
^ pi, WEAR THEM! :3!! ♥
-
Ok I'm officially going now! X3 I'll be going with State Alchemist, my other friend I went to K-con with, and my friend who's an exchange student from Taiwan. (She's really looking forward to this!) I'm really excited! From what I understand we'll be getting there pretty early.
Isn't it going to be rainy this weekend? I hope not though. ;-; I don't know whether or not I'll cosplay if it is.
-
I hear it's supposed to rain. YAY! You're going, shadow!
I'm getting excited.
-
I'll be wearing my Pocky Helmet. So I'll be really hard to miss.
If it's raining I'll have to bring an umbrella to keep the boxes dry.
-
If I go, I'm going as my Hige/Blue offspring (which I have named Kaji for the heck of it) With hige's clothes, collar, and a black tail. 8D Totemo has already seen my tail XD
-
i still don't know what i'll wear either some sort of costume or GIR gear, but i've started making cute hair things so i might wear some of those
-
I wish I could go in full cosplay.
I mean, I dress weird/ out of the ordinarily usually, but it would be weird going as Toboe or Lolita or something, and then showing up like that to the Wedding Shower I'm going to afterwords. ♥
Haha, they'd think I was a freak~
:P[/size]
-
I should totally pull together a Shadowrun-style Street Samurai.
-
ack, rain. *___* [prepares umbrella]
-
It turns out it'll just be Alice and I~ I believe we'll both be in red tohugh~
I'm having one of our friends Victoria (Who is also doing a lolita sewing panel for all your seamstress/seamstressers out there!) make a replica of this skirt;
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv701%2Fcarolineacree%2Fred12.jpg&hash=e552d73f3fce1931081db6daf54341393ace1597)
SO SAY HAAAY IF YOU SEE MEEE.
-
Hmmm.... so if Neko and friends aren't having a big lolita party then we can move the Pocky Club up a little bit.
Let's say our meeting will be at 1:00pm, just after the Taiko drums.
Neko I have the forms that you'll need for the panel and a budget request form. Do you guys need more than one of them?
-
Mm. I dunno. I think that we'll be making all the food and unless you want to re-emburse us again for gift bags (door prizes and outfit prizes) and food stuff, I think we'll be okay.
Is it possible to have a projector hooked up in the lolita how to? I'd want to show examples and have pictures running the length of the panel.
-
Projector and screen and computer will be items that you need to list on the form itself. I'm pretty sure that we have them, I just don't know if they'll be in your panel room.
That is something for me to discuss with the Programming officials. If we're lucky we won't have to run the gear all over the con like we did last year.

So, Victoria is the one doing that pannel? n____n
Oh, and Caroline~You still need help with your pannel, correct?
I know I said I could help, like, months ago, but just to let you know, I still can. ♥
Just tell me when and I should be able to come help~ : }
I only have classes three days a week this term, so I have some free time~
And you have my phonenumber, so just give the word when you need help! ♥♥
Eek this makes me want to buy special things for the pannels to help out~~[/size]
-
Only a 30% change of rain on Sat. Everyone wish really hard so it won't rain!
-
Excellent!
Yes, Kumoricon will be there and will have a booth. If anyone wants to help out at the booth, and you haven't talked to Antares yet, please pm her with your info!
We have quite a few people that are going to be there helping out that day, but the more the merrier.
Well, how old do you have to be to help out?
-
Well, 18 and over can be staff.
I think anyone can be a volunteer, you're not going to be able to do much if your under 13 but I haven't seen any age restrictions on volunteers, just what they're allowed to do. Heck, 5 year olds could technically do street team with adult supervision.

Ah okay, well I am 13 so I might help out, I think it'd be fun to do. ^^
-
[crosses fingers] let it not rain! ♥
-
After today's weather I have a really good feeling about Saturday.
-
^ Me too. I'm really hoping it'll be nice. *crosses fingers* ^^;
-
Don't anyone go wash their car tomorrow!
-
Yeee! I'm getting really exited! It will be neat to see all the con people who are going.
Maybe being in that kind of environment will help me magically gain the energy and the will to make the time to start working on my con costumes. xD
-
Yay! I am so excited. : }
My mother four my long-lost robin's egg blue coloured mary jane shoes, so it looks as if I can dress up in Lolita to the festival, after all~
(I refused to go if anything was miss-matching. n___n;;; )
I'm so happy! ♥ ♥ ♥[/size]

I'm excited to see everyone again omggggg ahhhh.

I'm planning to go in order to meet Pocky Club people for the first time, as I'm pretty sure I'll be around these parts come September. Well, not neccessarily meeting all of them for the first time, as I already know Tom.
But anyways, I'll be there to hang out/meet people/etc., as I might be heading over to Halloween Outlet at some point to look for a costume piece. I'd come in cosplay, but my options are limited to: a) Excel Saga's Pedro, which isn't all that much cosplay. or b) Generic You're Under Arrest-inspired police officer.
Regardless, I shall be there!

My boyfriend is coming as well. He's not a dandy or anything tho~
He's normal. : }
Eek, what should I wear, Caroline?
I want to dress all antique-ish like I normally do, but I wanna fit in with you alll. So I might wear baby pastel colours. ♥ ♥ ♥
Soso, what time are you guys going?
I wanna makesure we're there at the same time.
I think I'll be borrowing my boyfriend's camera. ♥ [/size]
-
Yay! It looks like I get to come! I don't really have much in the way of cosplay atm... I guess I'll wear my Seigaku tennis uniform.
-
yeah yeah yeah,
You haven't gotten to "postive thinking" and "Consensual Reality" in your psych classes yet have you?
It's not going to rain us out.
BTW, I want to get some pictures for my next Pocky Article. Think you can bring your camera to help me out Mustash?
(I guess you were bringing your camera anyway, but could you specifically help me out with this project?)
-
rain + ururu costume=jaz with cold....
-
I'm going to be doing an article on Pocky and there's some things that I just can't scan. Namely the Pocky itself. Just come prepared and you'll see what I mean. :wink:
-
I'll be coming in with Jaz and Chris around 9 o'clock. I don't have a bus pass to ride in with Vallie.
that is, if Chris will still give me a ride.
*big watery puppy dog eyes*
-
I'll be sure to be there. First-time too, so I'm looking forward to it. And I'll be seeing you guys, at the booth, or just around. :D
-
[hops] i'm looking forward to this!!
i'll be there around noon. :3 (hopefully)
i will most likely ask for pictures with other cosplayers - watch out! ♥
-
Hi there,
I'm here to pass on a message from VonDan. He says that he can't make it to the Sakura festival on Saturday.
This is because he is still moving shop, and his entire shop is currently in the back of a truck, unable to be unpacked. He is also without phone or internet until he gets moved in. He sends his apologies.
-
I'm confused, did Vondan need to be there for any reason? Was he volunteering to watch the table?
-
Whoo! I got my Allen Jacket so I'll be going as him.
So, if you see an idiot girl walking around looking like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/Rikkus_soul/Fun/D%20Gray%20Man/koki.png), it's me! Say Hi okay, just call me SA or State Alchemist. ^w^
-
okay so chris and i coming to get you around 9 ish, ae we taking vallie too or is she getting a ride with meg?
-
I'm not sure what time I'll be there now, but we'll be wandering around. I won't be cosplaying but I'm still kinda dressing up. If you see the girl in the blindingly pink outfit (inspired by the Strawberry Chocolate cell phone and in homage to the incredibly awesome Hello Kitty) come over and say hi.
I just wish I had some cat ears to complete it.
-
okay so chris and i coming to get you around 9 ish, ae we taking vallie too or is she getting a ride with meg?
I thought it started at 10.
We'll (Me + 3 others including Shadow) be there at about 11 or so.

I'm leaving Tacoma (hopefully) at 7. So I should be there by tenish, as long as I actually wake my butt up early enough.
-
I'm so excited!! X33 Be sure to come up and say hi if you see someone wearing funky boots and a black dress with a fur trim on it! I'd love to meet everyone! X3 I'll also be with the dork cosplaying as Allen. XD *points up a few posts*
-
I'll probably be there around 11:30-12..not sure if I'm going to cosplay yet. Will decide that tomorrow morning.
-
I might be there around 1 or two.
I'm slow. : D[/size]
-
I was going to cosplay but now I think I will just do my fav anime shirt. See you all there!
-
I'll be there around 1 as well.
I wish I could drive.
Or better yet, I wish my cousin could drive. D:
She's freaking seventeen.
-
I will b there too. At first I didnt want wear my Renji costume cuz I thought itd be a little wierd and was instead going to wear my Yukata, but common sense in this weather is saying my costume is ab it more practical.
-

I live in Portland. I don't NEED to drive. I'll probably stay a worthless un-driving hippie for years to come.

I'm excited! ♥
My friends and I are taking the tri-met and max home afterwards. >w<
-
PLanned on cosplaying, but won't sadly :( I couldn't get ahold of an akatsuki cloak at sakuracon.
I'll be wearing a blue kitty hat though o3o
Be there 11-ish!
-
Whee! Finally back home, even though I left the fest 3 hours ago... I hate having to drive long distances T.T Anyway, it was lots of fun meeting everyone, even though it was so rainy! Funny story... I was still wearing my Prince of Tennis cosplay, and stopped in BK on the way home for a bite to eat. The girl at the register looked at me, and she asked "Did you just go jogging?" I just told her no and ordered my food...

So everything went great! Accept that I never got Totemo her t-shirt...
But I got tons of Pictures!!!
Here they are! The good, the bad and the ugly (but mostly bad. lol)! = http://s130.photobucket.com/albums/p270/Mr_Mustash/
If you want the bigger/better version of a certain pic for some reason, just ask and i'll send one to you!
Edit: Its 6:05 right now and there still uploading, if you don't see them all, just give it more time!
I MET YOU! AND SUPERJAZ!
::if you don't remember i was the kid who yelled Mr. Mustash::
-
Lawl. Like 50 people took pictures of me and Sora. :]
Gave me a good excuse to huggle her more
<3
-
So, who saw me?
I was the guy in the bright yellow shirt, with the wolf's tail and the Hige collar on. >.> Hard not to miss. XD
-
Mr_Mustash, i didn't see you after we lamented about the strawberry pocky... D:
i wanted to take pictures of other cosplayers ... but alas, i was too shy. >x< ~sigh~
-
Pi and Jaybug looked most awesome in their dress clothes....I was quit impressed. :) You guys almost make us seem reputable. :D
I got some pics, too, but mine will go into the gallery. If any of you would like your pictures to go into the main page gallery, let Jeff know. He'd be happy to have the extra photos to beef up the site. :)
Huge thanks to Vallie and the Registration Crew for their efforts today. We were able to secure 21 registrations in the pouring rain. Our outreach is really paying off! Total pre-reg count (apx. 400) is now nearly the same as the number of attendees in 2003, with near a quarter of registrants signing up at events! Keep up the good work, everyone.
I can't wait to throw this party. :)
-
I was there, but only for a few minutes. I was with a friend and my parents, and they (my parents especially) wanted me to hurry due to the rain.
-
That Sora cosplay was super cool! Especially for such a small event! It was a nice surprise to see fairly elaborate cosplay.
-

So I noticed! I wouldn't have figured you for the shy type, Totemo. However, I figure you might feel at a disadvantage with more of us being able to recognize you than vice versa.
It was very nice to meet you, and I hope you like the little bunny!
-
How'd you KH kids like that bag of wrappers :lol:
-
I was there, but with the Sakura con group. I dont think I ran into any of you.
I was in my half-assed Renji costume. I didnt bring the whole thing because the only reason I cosplaid at all is because the shinigami outfits are traditional enough and i didnt want to wear anything too outragious.
Im really glad I went. I had a lot of fun even if the weather is STILL crappy and depressing Im convined were not going to get a summer this year)
Also, I got the band Bless Main to autograph my Ramen card. ^^ Im not turning it in now.
-
How'd you KH kids like that bag of wrappers :lol:
...XD
Oh my god I had such a fun time! X33 I got to see my Kumoricon friends as well as meet some new ones! I also bought two books, a little plushie kitty, and an L pin. (which was freakishly expensive... >>') I had such a blast despite the rain, and it was awesome meeting some of you!

It was awesome talking to people from the forums n stuff I had some good laughs with the guys I talked with lol that and I got my soul stole... Mr. Mustash has the pic
again nice meeting you guys its not often I get to have some good laughs about anime with my buddies (since I am the only one who really watches anime)
-
...I slept in until 7:00 PM (I HATE DOING THAT!!!) I also had no way to get there and forgot about the event until 5 hours or so before it. Sucks too since it would have been nice to see some of you more familiar people and meet a few new ones.
There definitely needs to be more events that the K-Con people can get together at... Especially in Portland considering the vast scope of cultural events that happen here.

Agreed! The fest was pretty sweet. I saw quite a few people who I suspected were from the forums, but I only actually talked to Pieisexactly three. But, despite that, it was still cool to be in the same place as others you know are from the forums. I'm not sure if there are any events coming up, other than monthly meetings, but we should attempt at more "meet n greets".

it was real nice meeting you too! (i love the bunny!!!)
i was also there with friends (who aren't on the forums) and i felt like i was taking their time by talking to other people ... ;; ah ~
and i agree, we should have another meet-up .... but in nicer weather. please!
-
I too agree on this nice weather meetup.
-
It was really cool seeing you all there! I was the girl in the Serenity Sweatshirt freezing her fingers off. ^_^
The huge mobs of people surrounding the booth really got us noticed by Uwajimaya. One of their people organizing the event came up to talk to me towards the end to just let me know how suprized they were at how many people were gathered at our little tent through out the event.
Just goes to show you. Bad weather cannot stop fandom.
-
*sadface* I ended up having a lot that I needed to get done yesterday so I ended up not being able to go. And I agree, we need to have a meetup sometime...but where? <.<
-
I went to the festival!!! It' was sooo much fun!I got to see and Ikebana demo, A-Key-Kyo (I'm such a fan now!), and got lots of Ramune!!! I also pre reg'ed for K-con!!! I'll be cosplaying as Lulu and I hope to see you all there!!!
-
Totemo, I'm so sorry we didn't have a cookie for you!!! I brought one specifically for you too.... :( I think one of the other girls gave it away on accident. :oops: Your costume was lovely..I wish I would have asked for a picture, but it looked like you were busy.... It was so nice to meet people from the forums-- I also met Pieisexactlythree, and Mr. Mustash (briefly), so friendly!
-
It was great to meet everyone from the forums. I had a really good time.

It was nice to see everyone again. XD

It was good to see all you people, even if I didn't come up and say hello, or do cosplay, unless Battou in a suit would be what you'd call me, except I haven't broken my nose.
Figures the picture of me is rotten! I have no patience for digital!
Was in a bit of paradise wandering around the grocery store. I wish I knew how to cook Asian dishes more than I do. That and live too far away to go home with that nice seafood.
I like a general meet-up in nice weather. I hope we don't have to wait until August. Rose Festival anyone, or is that a little late?
-
ruriko - it's okay! thanks for saying hello, it was very nice to meet the future neko-pan people! ♥
jaybug - i apologize for not recognizing you the first time! x___x i need to work on that...anyway, you looked impressive in that suit. :3
as for a general meet-up (perhaps we should start a thread for this), how about a picnic/potluck at a park...? :)
-
We should totally do a cosplay meetup.
Any excuse I get to dress up is fine with me. 8D
-
meetup sounds cool. park meetup sounds awesome. Especially since it will be summer soon. Anyone got any location ideas?
-
Hmm. I think Jantzen beach would be real fun.
-
So, who saw me?
I was the guy in the bright yellow shirt, with the wolf's tail and the Hige collar on. >.> Hard not to miss. XD
I saw you!! I really wanted to get your picture but then it started pouring and I didn't see you again ;-; I <3 the tail!!
Anyway so I am sure most everyone saw me because I kept making people stop for pictures and if you didn't see me I probably still saw you and got some candid shots >D I shall post tomorrow I promise!
-
I forgot to get my poster from you Leashy before I left. ;-; I realized that on the way home.

My super-small collection of pics.
My camera had low battery power, and kept dying.

kendo boyfriend was like "whaa?"

Try now.
I missed AkyKyo. :(
-
Twas so good seeing you all!
-
I'm really glad I got to see all of you guys! It was a lot of fun!
If the weather had been better we might've all gotten to socialize more at the booth instead of running for cover all the time.
Pocky Club managed to actually get a couple things planned! Yay!
FYI, the next Pocky Club Meeting will be at noon on May 6th. This is the day of the Envelope Stuffing at the hotel and will basically be our lunch break time.
It'll be a quick meeting for me to show people the hotel space and make sure you guys know how to maneuver the halls. If we get a camera there it will also be a glomping primer so I can get some pictures for my upcoming article on glomping.
-
sweet it works
yay meetings it funny how these event like sakura fest seem almost like a family reunion in a way
cuz just like those events you have the family (or friends) you reconize
"hi havent seen you in a few weeks"
the family you kinda know
"hi yes great auntie of course i remember you from that time i was 3.."
and the family who knows you but you just don't know
"hi wait who are you and why are you hugging me?

This pic turned out exactly like I expected. It's a good pic of Hawkeye and I look crazy.
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/leashy513/slideshow?.dir=/4c8dscd&.src=ph
I wasn't expecting the shocked look from makichan though, that was just perfect.
Edit: That was you Makichan, right? The only thing I hate more than not knowing a name is when I get a name wrong.
-
YAY! Thank you much for posting pics Leashy!! It was so awesome to see everyone again! I can't wait for Kumoricon now!!
*excited*
Seriously! We need to get NekoPan there, because those cookies were awesome!
Oh! And we need a taiyaki booth too! And crepes!
-
Thank you so much for posting your pics Leashy! ^-^ I didn't even know you took the last two. o.O Candid pics FTW!

haha, i remember when i saw you at mochitsuki and asked "is that kendo boyfriend?"
it's just something we need to know. XD

@tetomo
Haha, I would have said hi but I didn't see you.
I recognized superjaz from her Gir earrings.
I was with a medium-sized group of friends there for my b-day! XD
We danced hare-hare-yukai at my house and videotaped it...yes, it will find its way to youtube! XD
EDIT: And I also met Hazusa!
-
Hooray!!! Leashy liked our cookies!!! Would you mind if we posted your pictures of us on our webpage?
Of course you can! They are for everyone to enjoy!
Ok seriously guys, we need to see if we can get the Taiyaki people to come to Kumoricon! It probably violates some fire code but they would make a killing if they came!
-
I think they were associated with the Japanese restaurant, I saw a poster on front of the Taikyaki cooker that had the same name as the restaurant anyway.
-
It would be amazing if we could get them to come... even if we had to put them out in front of the hotel somewhere I'm sure they'd have a continual line.
-
I agree, I just feel that unless they bring reinforcements then there will be such a long line it would kinda stink
-
Yeah, as it was I ended up waiting 15 minutes after they ran out at one point... Hey, I didn't know I was in any pictures... Pretty sneaky :lol:
-
I know, I rock ^^
Yay, so many costumes that I didn't even notice, and there's my Rinoa! Great pics, Leashy!
Thank you very much!! :D
-
Just a reminder, if you think that any of the people who were at Sakurafest should be at Kumoricon then email your ideas to relations@kumoricon.org since that is the person in charge of such things.
-
It would be cool if they were there, but there would probably have to be like three different stations so as the same two people wouldn't get completely swamped every second of the weekend.
A positive idea though.
-
I'm imagining a wall of takiyaki, with like two booths per flavor.
Since it's begun to be an issue on at least four different fronts I think that next year the convention should look into gettingthe insurance and permits for having cooking on site as an official part of the convention. Like Nekopan Bakery and the cooking panel and a waffo cart.
If only we could get a convention space with some open air room for people to operate. Cooks in the vendor area would lack ventilation and that's not right. Hmmmm..... waht a puzzle.
-
Hooray!! Thank you guys for being so awesome to us this weekend!! All the people at the con-booth were so nice. ^__^ We'll be in touch with Eric soon to hopefully get things hashed out so we can be a part of the Con this upcoming year.... *excited*

*sniff i want taiyaki***
whaaaaaaa :(
big giant tears

Ah, did you not have any, or just having withdrawels? Either way, I feel your pain.

Learned a Japanese pun last night watching Urasei Yatsura. Taiyaki, can be mistaken for Taya Ki, which would be a tire tree!

It looks like someone was staaaalking you guys. >_<[/size]

Bah! the taiyaki were sooooo good! *wants more*
Dood! They had Taiyaki!? I totally missed them! I swear I could live off of those things.
My friend has Taiyaki pan. I love experimentin with all differant kinds.
Thus far my fave that I made was plain with butter, maple syrup and and sugar mixed into the batter. But I really wanna try a custard one....ooh..nao I really want on.
-
the taiyaki stand was left, right next to the entrance. then again it was always crowded and maybe hard to notice they were selling taiyaki...
-
You know, if the stand was owned by the people at the restaurant AT Uwajimaya then it probably means that you can actually get the taiyaki at the restaurant itself.
This is a good reason for people to give the place a try when they're in the area.
-

They had a huge line the whole time I'm surprised you didn't see what they were all waiting for :D
-
Pi and Jaybug looked most awesome in their dress clothes....I was quit impressed. :) You guys almost make us seem reputable. :D
I got some pics, too, but mine will go into the gallery. If any of you would like your pictures to go into the main page gallery, let Jeff know. He'd be happy to have the extra photos to beef up the site. :)
Huge thanks to Vallie and the Registration Crew for their efforts today. We were able to secure 21 registrations in the pouring rain. Our outreach is really paying off! Total pre-reg count (apx. 400) is now nearly the same as the number of attendees in 2003, with near a quarter of registrants signing up at events! Keep up the good work, everyone.
I can't wait to throw this party. :)
Woot! Woot! Woot!!!!
Nice meeting y'all! What a fun "family reunion" type event!
-

I checked the menu, and Hakatamon doesn't serve taiyaki at the restaurant. They just make it for the festivals, which means they won't make it again until the Hawaiian festival in August (there's a couple small festivals before then, but I don't think they usually cook it at the small ones).
I'm sure they could make a killing if they had it on their regular menu, though. I wanted to get some at the festival, but the line was always too long....sure, I probably could have used my sway as an Uwajimaya employee to have some set aside that I could pick up later, but that would feel unfair, especially with all the people waiting out in the rain.
-
They're on the menu at No Fish Go Fish on Hawthorne.

Oooh! Good to know!
Too bad I never get into Portland proper that often.
And that I'm allergic to sushi. :/
-
Ah, allergic to sushi. That's near tragic. Well, when one is craving it, it would be tragic.
But good to know anyway, for the Taiyaki.
-
Now if only they had a branch in the Tacoma/Seattle area...
-
i was at uwajimaya last niht and they had frozen taiyaki!!!
i dont know how good they are but in a pinch...
they had singles with swet bean paste and a bag of minis filled with vannila
they were spendy tho

Ewww...

ick, lol
"I know, let's take a fish-pastry and fill it with nasty meat..."
"Johnson, that's gross......get to work on it."
-
Frozen taiyaki? How do you cook it, in the oven? I .. guess that could be ok.. ok who has a waffle iron? Let's make our own I'm sure it can't be that hard!
-

frozen Taiyaki is HORRIBLE. I hated Taiyaki at first becuase Id only had a frozen one.
My friend has a Taiyaki pan and we made a whole bunch of differant types...now Im suffering from withdrawl.
-
it was really spendy, i wonder how much the molds go for online
-
I'm pretty sure I've come across some in the past, in various stores, for not much more than a regular frying pan.
-
I dont remember where my friend baught it. Somehwere online and I think he said it was like $35..with or without shipping; I dunno.
-
Wow I can't find one anywhere, google, froogle, amazon, ebay.. weird I have tried several names: taiyaki, fish waffle, dessert fish, fish pan, who knows
hmm I wonder if you could use this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-Mountain-Cast-Iron-Perch-Pan-Fish-Bread-Pan-Great_W0QQitemZ190102375094QQihZ009QQcategoryZ976QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

That looks just like what they used at Uwajimaya. I think, after you put the filling into one half, you take another half, not quite completely cooked, and put it onto the half still cooking, letting the uncooked dough act as the glue. Just hope you have the correct half lined up. Otherwise you end up with a mixed up Pisces!
