You're not obligated but I'd love it if you would! ^.^

And I'm still unsure of what I'll do. I may just be the manager. I have enough time to figure it out. xD

xD Alright, I read the colour thing. >.> I just had to call purple first, y'know? =^^=

Anyways, it sounds like a good idea. And so is taking money. . >.> We need to somehow pay for it, yes? It wouldn't have to be that much for each person.

Me, Kinkeh, and Sugar are all contributing so far. ^.^

Colleen do you want to be Usui and just let me handle everything important, like applying for a pannel? I've had a bunch of ideas anyways, and I could just be the shadow leader.

You wanna be next Seraph?

A different color for every different name seems like it could be a bit excessive, especially if a bunch of people sign up. You'd run out of colors after awhile

Oh I have a bunch of ideas for all of this... *_*

MiriaRose · « **Reply #56 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:11:39 pm »

Yes, but having the customers pay, what, 3 dollars? to get in isn't a bad idea either.

Awww...but I wanna plan too...>.> And I dunno if you had read it but if I was either Usui or the manager it'd be easier to keep everybody in line and whatnot. And no, we're not gonna have an excessive amount of maids. So we won't have an excessive amount colors. $:-\$

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #58 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:16:36 pm »

And I'm really liking setting up and getting a panel and whatnot...I really liked the thought of doing it...

oslapedo · « **Reply #59 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:17:56 pm »

Colleen- I was just saying that I'll help you with things that you're unsure about, like applying for panelship and whatnot.

Honestly I don't think we should serve food at all. If we did we'd have problems with hotel catering, and we'd be competing with Nekopan, and the Ouran Tea Party. I think that we should have a Maid Cafe minus food.

We could have tons of maid related activities though, like we could do maid pictures with the customers for example. Also, the customers wouldn't have to pay anything, so that'd be more incentive to come.

Also we definitely need to call our customers master, and all that great stuff, so it's more authentic. I'd like to train all of our maid hosts before we have the actual panel

MiriaRose · « **Reply #60 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:19:24 pm »

That makes sense, Osla. Without food, it would be a lot cheaper. xD

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #61 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:19:38 pm »

We could make them get points and then play games to get pictures! Just like Kaichou wa Maid-sama!!! But I'd still like to serve something. I mean, come on. It's a maid CAFE. xD

As for making it ourselves, wouldn't we have a ton of icky legal stuff to sift through? xP

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #64 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:21:39 pm »

I'll be back in a little bit to finish explaining and stuff. Dinna time.

oslapedo · « **Reply #65 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:22:37 pm »

But you're not allowed to buy anything in bulk within a hotel- they want to cater everything which costs a lot of money.

I just think it'd be less stressful and more fun if we just played maid games and stuff.

A point system would be a good idea

Seraph · « **Reply #66 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:33:54 pm »

@Miria
I believe there is something. the nekopan bakery ran into some I think

@Oslapedo
next what?

maybe you should poll people's opinions?

oslapedo · « **Reply #67 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:37:00 pm »

Seraph opinions on what? This is not a democracy, it's a maiducracy, and whatever the maids say goes! Misaki mode strikes again!

MiriaRose · « **Reply #68 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:38:30 pm »

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you have to have a catering liscence or something. Liability, y'know?

oslapedo · « **Reply #69 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:42:49 pm »

So shall we think of fun Maidu activities now? :3

- Take a picture with a Maid! Get your picture taken... with a maid!

There are others that I can't think of but that's a start!

And we need to stay in character, that'll be what makes our Maid Cafe Panel the best ever!

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #70 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:43:36 pm »

I think that we could ask them.

If we can't buy from regular outside stores then we'll ask beforehand if we can buy from the Nekopan Bakery thingie.

Seraph · « **Reply #71 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:44:28 pm »

@oslapedo
on what kind of prices, what kind of drinks and pastries they would want.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #72 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:45:44 pm »

Let's just say this one thing. There ARE going to be some kind of food or drink whether I have to pay out of my pocket and cut down on cosplays or not. That's final on my part.

We're not sure on prices right now. It's not gonna be too high but not too low. We've got almost an entire year to decide.

Seraph · « **Reply #74 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:48:41 pm »

I think allergies are the main thing to worry about. will have to either avoid them or put up a warning.

oslapedo · « **Reply #75 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:49:05 pm »

Colleen if you're going to make decisions like that then I don't know if I'll be able to participate in this.

Talking with various people involved with it, the Ouran Tea Party (which had food from Nekopan and various other sources) came at the expense of Kumoricon itself. Because the food cost so much it almost was unable to come back for '09. You know what my favorite thing about the Tea Party was? It wasn't the food or the tea, it was the hosts and their interactions with each other and the guests.

It'd be more cost efficient and less stressful to have a foodless maid cafe, but if you want to disregard all of that then all I can say is good luck.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:50:11 pm »

We'll have a warning sign. But we will say no to anything peanut related because that's a popular allergen. K?

MiriaRose · « **Reply #77 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:50:55 pm »

Alright, Kameko. I do agree with you about food and drink, it would be cheating if we called it a maid cafe but didn't serve food/drinks.

And about allergies, at the tea party last year I got an allergic reaction 'cause I didn't know the pocky on the pocky cupcakes had almonds in it. D: So we should be specific if we get something like that what the ingredients are, if it's something broad like pocky.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #78 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:52:56 pm »

...so if I say food, you'd leave, and if I said no food, I'd be saying Maid Cafe without the Cafe...good gawd...explain to me again why the Tea Party almost didn't make it this year? Because of cost? Or because you have to buy everything from the hotel. Or what? You're not being very clear on this. Remember, I'm dumb. I need to know these things.

IF we even end up having a maid CAFE. Yes, we would put cautions in a pamphlet or something.

Seraph · « **Reply #80 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:56:46 pm »

personally, trying to serve drinks is the least to try for as a cafe I think

as for the characters, I don't think the characters from maid-sama are quite as appealing to a large auidence then ouran host club is.

as another way of doing it, maybe forgo the cafe and make a delivery similar to pocky club?

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #81 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:57:51 pm »

Yeah, I was thinking that if we had to we'd just go with pocky and some form of drink. But that's only if we HAVE to. We'll of course have pocky anyway. ^.^

Sugarlat · « **Reply #82 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:58:10 pm »

It's VERY hard to deliver at con -_-

MiriaRose · « **Reply #83 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:58:41 pm »

Yeah, we could always just serve drinks. . Like cappucino and soda and the like.

What'd the pocky club do? o.o

oslapedo · « **Reply #84 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:59:11 pm »

It was cost. It cost too much for all of the cupcakes, and it cost too much for the tea and the hot water that had to be catered from the hotel.

The reason I don't think we should have food is because NekoPan Maid Training Panel and the Ouran HHC Tea Party each already have food, so if we did it as well it'd just be more of the same. And if we had food we'd end up wasting most of our hour giving food to the guests instead of playing maidu games, and have a splendid maidu time.

Maid Cafe' doesn't mean it has to be food related. Maid Cafe's are known for the maids, not the food, so highlighting the maid aspect wouldn't neccesarily be a bad thing.

I think something simple like Pocky would be doable, and maybe we could serve Ramune too?

And yeah, delivery is bad O_O

Seraph · « **Reply #85 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:00:08 pm »

@Sugarlat
its just as a random suggestion. I thought it be better to at least throw it out there.

@Miria
gives out pocky grams.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #86 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:00:22 pm »

I never said we had to have complicated foods there that take hours to make. It was a suggestion. That's what this is for. ^.^ So yes, essentials are pocky and drinks. We're just trying to see if more would be possible.

oslapedo · « **Reply #87 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:01:58 pm »

Pocky grams within the panel or pocky grams for all of the con? Because um, pocky grams didn't work out so well last year

Sugarlat · « **Reply #88 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:02:28 pm »

That was sooo hard....
I couldn't deliver at all...

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #89 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:02:29 pm »

Sahara, we'll still be able to do games and whatnot even if we serve some snacks and drinks. It wouldn't be too complicated.

Lawl, Tom recruited me and Kori to help him deliver a pocky gram and the person wasn't even in their room XD

Pre-packaged things like pocky and ramune are okay, but something that needs to be boiled, like tea would be a major hassle.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #91 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:06:07 pm »

Fine. Can we all agree on different flavored pocky and ramune? Or should we decide over the next several months?

in Japan in maid cafes the maids usually play games with the customers XD

Probably not.
Why not have like cold drinks such as lemonaid or ice tea!
OMG ICE TEA!

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #99 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:12:41 pm »

And we'll have that too. We definitely need to have card games like Speed. xD Just as a manga reference.
