is there an estimate with how many people are going to the gathering?  I'd like to bring a little something for everyone if I have time to throw it together.

for now count it like 20 people.

I guess i'll have to get there early to put my name instead now with the 20 people added cause i found online that the restaurant doesn't take reservations. so I guess it'll be that way then. Meet me in front of the restaurant between 2:30 p.m-2:45 p.m thanks.

sorry about this. -_-;;

So... cosplay is on sunday and lunch is also on sunday? O_o?

I don't know why I'm asking, I'm a wandering samurai and can never seem to stay at gatherings but I do want to come say hello to some people.

AND! Maybe Kazu-chan and Meli-chan can finally take PURIKURA~! : D

Take BART to the Montgomery Street station. From Union Square, take the No. 38 bus on Geary Street, or the No. 2, 3 or 4 on Sutter Street and get off at Laguna, Buchanan, or Webster.
I myself take the 38, havent used the other 3.

[Lonelykangta]

o ok thanks, one more thing how much is bus fare? lol

$1.50 each way unless you pick up a muni ticket inside the Bart station which gives you .25 cent discount.The ticket machine is inside the station against the wall before you exit the gate.Also if you do get off at Mongomery bart you can save time getting on the 38 bus on Market st close to the stations exit.
