Sakura Con 2014: Better Late Than Never!

Hello! Japan here! SomeGuy is busy with cosplay workshop right now so here I am posting in his stead. Sorry for taking so long to make this post but as the title says, better late than never!

For those of us that are coming for the first time, here is a little recap from previous years. We've always met up in this location in the map below: (First floor entrance in the lounge area.)

We always have fun. There are games, sometimes prizes and of course the annual video! So who will be coming? When do you want to meet up? Comment with your ideas. Once we agree with a time and day I or SomeGuy will be making another post with the official time for the meeting. I'm excited for this weekend and I hope to see a lot of you there!

Anime Vegas 09

Hey theres! We have two cons coming up for Labor Day weekend!

One of them is Animefest in Dallas, Texas.
The other is Anime Vegas in Vegas, Nevada.

I'm mostly interested in those who are going to be at Anime Vegas, since that's the one I'll be at, but if someone going to Animefest wants to plan a meetup too, that would be fun

So onward...

Anime Vegas
Labor Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) Sept 5-7
Cashman Center

I'll be there Saturday and Monday if anyone else will be there and wants a meetup, a schedule should be up on the site this week, so we'll be able to better plan accordingly ^.~

A-Kon '09: This Weekend!

Well the time is almost here! I'll be arriving in Texas tomorrow, just in time for a Con full o' fun! Remember we're having our initial TheO meetup 10am Saturday in the Press Room.

This year, the room next door to Pearl 5 (the home of A-Kon Cosplay for many years now...) has been annexed in the name of costuming and photography!

Looks like there's only one room next to said Pearl 5, so the meet-up will be round-abouts there~

Here's the schedule of panels, signings, etc. So if you can't make the meet-up, you can still discuss events to meet-up at so just mention and we'll find out who's planning on being where-when ^^
