Yeah, I just had inari the other day, which surely primed my tastebuds, heh.

Oh, and speaking of Uwajimaya, Kahlan-gf and I went there today, but first we ate at Hakatamon (The restaurant connected to Uwajimaya). That is an awesome place! We actually were greeted with "Irassiyaimase" as we walked in. That made my day, lol. And the staff were awesome there, the atmosphere was cozy and nice. And the food......well, the food was "priscilla" (think about it, think about it...) ^_^

I've never heard of the multi-cultural festival...is it their first?

Actually, it is. It's the 10th anniversary of the Beaverton store, but the first time for the May festival.

I love that place, kendo boyfriend and I go there all when ever we can, I recomend the butashogoyaki (ginger pork) and onigiri temusu,(has tempura shrimp in it)
If we can't stay to eat I'll get a tempura onigiri to go and the lady knows me by sight, its like this
cashier: "usual? temusu onigiri?"
me :"yes please"
cashier :"10 mins and 2.75$"

haha, that's awesome. That's the feeling I got from the moment I walked in; it seemed like the kind of place where one could become a "regular", and have a very familial feel. Good times. ^_^ And I will have to remember those dishes. I had some yakiudon (I don't remember which kind), but it was very delicious.

Just my luck, I lost my wallet.
It had all my money in it - all the cash was accumulated birthday presents.

Sooo.
Now I'm basically broke 'cause my debit card was in there too.

I don't know if I'll be able to go unless this all gets sorted out. D:

New one's getting here in 7-10 days, so says my dad. (After canceling the one I lost)
Time to learn about ATMs

I don't have it through a local bank. :[

...I thank my school for printing off two IDs for me by accident this year.

Otherwise I'd have to pay for a replacement.

if it does snow it will just save us money on shaved ice!

tho if it really snowed i would so buy some anyway, just think it wouldnt melt fast!!
and i bet it would make the taiyaki taste better

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #73 on:** April 17, 2008, 03:26:19 pm »

i think i might make cupcakes for all the forums-ers for satruday... be prepared for a berries and cream "lad" holding a tray of cupcakes... perhaps while trying to dance... o.O

@ Laurifer

Ah, ok. Yush, bring the Death Note! >3

@ Kahlan

Seriously?? That is a definite WIN. Serious epic win.

Yay I can't wait! As it stands now I'll be there with two of my friends. Don't know if my friend will go as Aeris again or not. I'll have to ask.

Manganix78 · « **Reply #81 on:** April 17, 2008, 06:21:49 pm »

Provided that it DOESN'T SNOW on Saturday, I'll definately be there...but as L, unfortunately I don't have the black eyeliner or the spiky hair that makes him so recognizable...

maybe I'll just show up in either a Megatokyo or Inuyasha shirt wearing cat-ears instead. Also, I'm planning to invite some people to eat at the restaurant in Uwajimaya, what was called...Hakatamon or something? (but I don't know if they have some sort of menu there so that I can prepare what I'm going to order or how much everything is....) and I will be taking lots of pictures, so show up in your best cosplay!!

Shadow · « **Reply #82 on:** April 17, 2008, 06:24:22 pm »

What is that? It looks like some sort of ball (octopus balls? shrimp shumai?), or is it taiyaki?

Oh, and I will definitely be bringing my camera with me this time. I haven't decided if I want to cosplay or not. I'm kind of not feeling like going all out with Barret this weekend, and I have nothing else that I can reasonably do. So, yeah, I might just go as Obvious Otaku No. 16 (out of 79, mind you!).......and yes I just made all that up.

Sushiland has a pre-made takoyaki, but it isn't anywhere near as good as the stuff made from scratch

It's kind of like cheap Nissin Ramen compared to the most absolutely fresh stuff you can buy in a real soup base.

I'm sure no matter what it'll still be fun. ^^ Today I'll be getting my cosplay stuff ready to go, and I need to find out when my friends and I are going. XD

I can't wait to get some takoyaki again! *-* (tried it for the first time at the Japan Festival last year)
