Saiyuki Gathering 2012

[Ginryuu]

Oh we won't be there...we're aiming for over at the Front Marriott Side this time.

[D001]

Yup! I think we're trying to be where the TB and TK gatherings were last year, if I'm not mistaken. ^_^

So do we all agree on 6p (was it?)

Also, someone mentioned dinner, which we did last year and I'd love to do again (with a little more advance planning XD)  Did we want to try to plan on that as part of the gathering again? Or just do Saiyuki Poker and the Photoshoot for the official gathering?  ^_^

[kimu]

The location for TB by the Mariott side should work well. I'm fine with the time of 6pm, and getting food afterward.
But if we eat Chinese, can we avoid celebrating the Year of the Rabbit?
;)

[Ginryuu]

I'd like it if the dinner could be included for those who want.  It's not like we're an insanely large group...although I agree a little more advanced planning would be good.

[D001]

Awesome.  I went ahead and put 6p in the time slot (and 5:30p for Poker whee~!).  I'll leave the dinner TBD until we get some more details in mind there.  (I'd like to include the dinner as well ^_^)  I figure if we can at least decide where we want to eat, then we should be good to go ^_^ (then no wandering around going whu? XD)

@Kimu - OMG is it really the year of the Rabbit? *g*  I'm going to have to look that up now XD

I'll give it until next weekend, you think? and then submit our gathering request.

[Ginryuu]

Hmm well when we go could depend on how long the gathering goes for and if anybody want's to take care of anything before we go.  I think it'd be best to discuss WHERE we want to go first...although I'm all for going back to the same place as last year.

I think waiting before submitting would work.  That way if anybody has something to say they can say it.  We have everything else set anyways.

[kimu]

It's Saiyuki! Chinese for dinner is a great idea, and that place isn't too far to go and is reasonably priced for the Gokus. Shouldn't put a big burden on Sanzo's gold card? ;D

And yes, it is the Year of the Rabbit, that should make Ukoku giggle.... *twitches*

[Ginryuu]

Updating here.  SabienStrange posted on the cosplay.com forums, she'll be there as Kougaiji.

[SabienStrange]

and i thought i'd make an account to post here also so i could say hi,
and not be that creepy person at the gathering that no one knows because she lurks and never says anything.
butyes, i'll be there as kougaiji so our lirin isn't wandering around getting herself into trouble. B|

[Ginryuu]

Aww you created an account just for us?  I'm touched.  ^_^

[D001]

Yay for Kougaiji! ^_^

Got the first post updated and can't wait to meet you! :)

[Ginryuu]

Thread has been inactive for a while so... *chi revives*

Also!  We have another Lirin joining us, Willow17 on the coscom forums.  So D, when you get the chance if you would be so kind.  ^__^

[SabienStrange]

ginryuu: yes, and then very quickly forgotten i'd even made it lol.
and yay for more lirins ~ !

D: and i can't wait to meet you all either,
i miss this fandom so much. Dx

[D001]

Got the first post updated!  Yay for another Lirin <3  Can't wait to have you Willow17! :)

I swear, I wish I could channel Sanzo at work and not get fired for it.  He's got an awesome boss <3  (and really, my job would be so much easier if I didn't have to be nice XD) /workrant XD

You just say that because you have to put up with me for a week and change come Fanime. :P

Could be, but mostly it's because I think you'd find it entertaining if I went off on attorneys like I'd like to be able to. <3

RE: food.  I'm good with the place we went to last year (that was the place that was on the same street as the Japanese place but a block-ish closer to con, right?)  And if I recall right, they had vegetarian options for me (that would be my only veto).

How is everyone doing?  Thread has been slow (I'm assuming it's because everyone else is just a WTF busy as I am ^^;;; ) I hope everyone is doing well!

Does anyone have any picture requests or ideas for pictures we can make a list of upfront?  Might as well start getting a rough list together of some ideas so we're more likely to hit all of them.  (and if you don't have ideas now, bring your ideas to the gathering itself <3)

I'd like a picture of Hazel trying to take Bunny's soul *g*

[Poof-Aro]

My Lirin cosplay came today! I now have then entire thing! ^^ Can't wait for fanime.

Yay!! That's super exciting!

I can't wait for Fanime and to see everyone either! XD

[SabienStrange]

i haven't been too busy... i haven't done squat lol.
i was going to go grab fabric in LA,
but then it decided to rain epically.
this happens EVERY time i want to get pleather. it's a conspiracy. x_x

as far as suggestions for pictures,
we could always dig through the manga / artbook and find stuff we like from there?

[kimu]

But....but...Bunny doesn't exactly have a youkai soul to take....
:D

Have to go looking through things before con for some photo op ideas, just to add to all the crack stuff I'm sure will spontaneously happen....
