I'll most likely attend this... maybe with a friend(s)

Whether I meet up with fanime peeps will depend on luck. XP

I'm glad some of you out there are expressing interest in attending Nikkei Matsuri.  Your attendance will be much appreciated... If you choose to attend in cosplay, I thank you in advance for helping our festival to be brighter.

Planning on having a contest, but waiting for approval... ;D

I might go but I can't be 100% sure since I'm in SF.

Would it be alright if I post this on the Nor-Cal Conventions Facebook? We have over 160 members and I'm sure those who are in the SJ area would like to know about this. That is if it's alright, I won't post it otherwise.

CherryTeaGirl-sama,
Thank you for supporting SJ Nihonmachi and thank you again for volunteering as a maid during last year's 'Spirit of japantown' Maid Cafe... :D

Well despite the fact that I'm a total flake when it comes to Forum Gathering, I am totally down to go to this.

I know this short notice to all of you out there, but it's been approved!!!

I can now confirm that there will be a special raffle for those of you who come to SJ Nihonmachi - Nikkei Matsuri in cosplay... Please refer to the initial posting for details...

Remember, it dosen't have to be "New" cosplay... Save that for Fanime in May.
We're just looking for cosplayers to brighten the festival.

I hope to see you there.

Change of plans! I'll still be attending, but I will PROBABLY be wearing Toradora instead of Ranma 1/2?
I'm glad Nichi Bei Bussan is having a raffle for cosplayers, they're my favorite store~

A fan of NB Store...  ;D...
???... have we met before?
If not, we probably will during the festival... ;D

Yes, the managers and staff of Nichi Bei Bussan are very supportive of my plans for cosplay at SJ Nihonmachi. They are allowing me to use their name and facility to conduct this little test, and I'm very greatful to them all.
