Kumoricon will have an exhibitor table at the Uwajimaya Sakura Festival 2009, on Saturday, April 25, at the Beaverton location. We have increased our space and will have a larger table this year, and we'll be selling registrations. This is one of our most popular outreach events!

This is a great volunteer opportunity to help out Kumoricon by manning the table, helping with registrations, and answering questions. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact publicity@kumoricon.org or reply in this thread.

I need to ask for that day off.

Silence · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:15:51 pm »

Oohh~ I"ll be going to this :DD But I won't be going as Misa *shock*

I'm gonna wear my new Lolita dress I bought

its cute and has a flower-theme so i deemed it appropriate for a sakura festival XD If you guys need extra help, I'm willing to do so~

Either that or I'll just be roaming around....I hope it's not too hot that day though like it was for the last event at uwajimaya @_@:;; the lolita dress has a lot of layers ;; But i will suffer through it!! Long live lolita! XD

Hazuza · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:20:42 pm »

The schedule says it'll be around 60 that day, but little chance of rain... Though, that may change :x A few days ago it said it would rain that day |D;

... Does Uwajimaya sell batteries? BD

Hazuza · « **Reply #20 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:38:31 pm »

WOT. EVERY GROCERY STORE SELLS BATTERIES D:

I needa pick some up on the way then >.<

nyahaha · « **Reply #21 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:13:41 pm »

oh noez! I don't think I can go DX my friend that I never get to see 'cause we go to different schools is having a party...maybe I can come early, then go to her house, but I doubt it.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #22 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:27:48 pm »

Yay, A-Key Kyo! Everyone come out in cosplay and support!

Silence · « **Reply #23 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:29:42 pm »

oho~ well, i hope it doesn't rain, but i'm glad its going to be cool ^_^ curses..i do'nt own a lolita jacket....yet. i'd go on an ordering spree, but it won't get here in time for the festivale lol ;p even though my dress came really fast O o; but i'll be warm. NONETHELESS. Yea, i'm not sure if they sell batteries..i've never looked XD i'm too busy drooling over the food to look at other things lol ;p but sometimes i look at their bath salts

they're so nice :3 But I hope there's a good turnout for this

I want lots of ppl to hang out with!

(plus none of my friend can make it, i want to make some new ones that day then ;; lol )

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #24 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:33:14 pm »

If they don't sell batteries, Uwajimaya is in the middle of many blocks of stores, I'm sure there's a convenience store somewhere nearby.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #25 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:35:36 pm »

I was thinking about it. Depends on the weather, but if anything I'll come out as Barret...again, lol. (I feel like I've worn that costume out, but it's okay, haha).

Who will you be, Dana?

Silence · « **Reply #26 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:35:36 pm »

oho i never even looked at the other stores around uwajimaya XD as soon as i get there i feel like i'm all hypnotized @_@; heh!

I'll be Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier if my wig comes in time. If not...then I'll figure something out. xD;

...Hopefully, it comes in time though. P:

Ah, well good luck! Where'd you order it from?

And on the bright side, it's not hard to cosplay for Uwajimaya stuff, haha. Nekomimi and you're good.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #28 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:41:36 pm »

Ok I was thinking that this was only going to be one day but apparently it will be Saturday through Monday. Will anyone else be going Sunday?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #29 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:45:10 pm »

I may go on Sunday. My main incentive is seeing A-Key Kyo, but even if they aren't there on Sunday, Kahlan and I may come out.

Ah, I didn't know that... Sorry, I'll only be saturday though.

@Silence- Bodyline has some decent lolita stuff. Not totally sure about jackets... But their shipping is fast. I got a package from them 3 days after I placed the order! And normal cardigans and short jackets work pretty well with lolita... Try looking around some local stores~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** April 20, 2009, 10:07:29 pm »

I really want to go but I am busy all day Saturday. Is the Kumoricon booth going to be there? And I don't want to go if I don't have anyone to go with =/

Yes, we will be there. ^_^

One change from the information in the original post (which has now been edited): We won't be able to print badges on the spot, however, we will still be taking registrations at the table, and as usual, you can choose between mail-out and will call.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:06:46 pm »

What I was trying to ask is if you guys were going to be there only Saturday or Saturday and Sunday?

JeffT · « **Reply #34 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:09:21 pm »

To my knowledge, the event is only Saturday. That is when we're scheduled to be there. The Uwajimaya Festival Japan usually held in September is two days.

EDIT: I read the earlier posts in this thread saying it will be more days... perhaps the exhibitors are only on Saturday? Anyway, Saturday, Apr. 25 is the day we're scheduled for.

Trumby · « **Reply #35 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:24:15 pm »

Even if the event is more than just Saturday I don't see us being there on Sunday, considering the general meeting is that day.

I'm thinking about going out there.

As long as there is shaved iced im there! I wish Blue Sky didn't close down =(. I miss my boba.

Sad times. I just went to Uwajimaya homepage and there was some sort of event going on for three days that weekend. I could be wrong though =/

Hazuza · « **Reply #38 on:** April 21, 2009, 12:07:43 am »

I just saw that in the calendar too, but dang, their "schedule" is so hard to read o_o;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #39 on:** April 21, 2009, 09:12:33 am »

Yeah it is really hard to follow.

Higuma · « **Reply #40 on:** April 21, 2009, 04:33:12 pm »

It is only on the 25th. If you click on the link on the calendar for that weekend and when the window pops-up scroll all the way down to beaverton.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** April 21, 2009, 04:35:57 pm »

I see....well they make it hard to read. Sorry for the confusion ^_^;; I wont be able to go

Silence · « **Reply #42 on:** April 21, 2009, 05:37:21 pm »

@ Hazusa Wow!! thanks so much for the site

It's a nice break, seeing those prices XD My Baby, the stars shine bright dress i just got was a nice dent in my wallet XD (but completely worth it, don't get me wrongXD) but I"m really happy with the site!!

I"ll try some local stores tomorrow, and if nothin' comes up, i'll try the site ^_^ thanks so much

Hazuza · « **Reply #43 on:** April 21, 2009, 06:36:43 pm »

No prob

The prices seem low, but the shipping is usually about the price of the item you buy xD; Well, depending on how much/what you order. It still totals pretty fair though! Have fun oUo

That's a shame you won't be there, Nikki >: We'll miss you *-*

Silence · « **Reply #44 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:09:17 pm »

actually, i just bought a whole bunch of stuff from it XD (well not that much, just 5 items XD) and the shipping wasn't that bad,really

I"m so excited!! <3 new stuff~~! i got a sweater, shoes, two pairs of socks and a headband

woo!!! i'm so pumped

yayay!!! *had too much candy today*

Hazuza · « **Reply #45 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:12:21 pm »

:'D I wish I had that money...

You know, you could host a group order sometime >u> If the total order is over $500, there's free shipping~ I'd join

Sorry, sorry, I'm getting off-topic xD

@ Hazuza heeeeeyyy that group order thing isn't a bad idea!! (making it quick, don't wana get too off topic XD) next time i order stuff (it'll be soon, my birthday party's comin' up) i'll let you know ^_^ I'll post something in general topics :3 But nonetheless, i'm' glad it'll be here in time for the festival ^_^ I think they'll have those fish pancake type thingies, right? does anyone know what i'm talking about> XD i convinced one of my friends to go, and i'm winnin her over by describing the food that'lll be there XDD!!

Hazuza · « **Reply #48 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:46:22 pm »

Taiyaki? They had it last time, and at the last Sakura festival, so I don't see why they wouldn't this year |3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #49 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:48:25 pm »

OH GOD! I want some so badly but I wont get any ;-;
