Meh, I can't go, its too far!

[Oniko]

I'll be wearing a pair of cat ears to spot me better.  Oh and I'm dragging along a friend!

[winry_rockbell]

Just wondering...do you all know each other? Is your gathering opening to new comers?  I would probably just go as Winry but if it's too cold, I'll go as Arale from Dr. Slump.  What day are you guys going?  It'll be Sunday for me.

It's open to everyone. I think I saw you sunday afternoon at Y-Con, and the lunch gathering is happening Sunday Afternoon, at Osakaya, at 2:30 p.m. I love meeting new people, so if you want to come by and hangout, you can. :3

@Sailormoon1: Thanks for putting the info here, Mari-san :3

LoveFest is on saturday - Aki Matsuri is taking place both on saturday and sunday. By the looks of what everyone else has posted, a majority of the people here are going on sunday (cosplay show is on sunday too)

You had to remind me that Lovefest is on the same day as my brithday D: i wanted to go this year but oh well

21 betches ;D

[rude32]

 was going to go to lovefest, but seeing as I need to take other days off from work this month, I won't be able to go. I'm still going to Aki Matsuri though. It's been a while since I've been to J-town, and I'm finally getting my badge from Ryu, hopefully.

[Oniko]

Just confirming that myself and a friend will be going to the meet.
how many people does that make? XD I managed to make buttons after all

for the lunch, it should be at least like around 15-20. I'm not going to keep my hopes up that all of them are going to show up, but thanks for making them. if you have any leftover, i'll pass them around at the festival.

[shy-cosplayer]

where exactly is the lunch gathering going to be?

Osakaya Restaurant-2:30 p.m, after the cosplay show. 1st restaurant on the left when you enter the restaurant section.

thanks, I'll definately be there!

[BunofGovt]

Hey, you know I'm gonna be there (a little nervous) but I'll be leaving soon after the show since other plans have come up.  (trying to figure out where to put my camera on my outfit while on stage ???)

See y'all tomorrow!

Okay, I'll be there!   I don't think you saw me at Y-Con cause I wasn't there.   I'll go check out the contest, too.  If you spot Winry or Arale (still can't decide!!!!), please tap me on the shoulder or call me name.  Otherwise, I'll make my way to Osakaya!  Mmmmm...ramen!
