Cherry Blossom Festival Anime Costume Parade 2008

[BunofGovt]

By the way, sign-up for the Anime Costume Parade is open.  You can sign up for either the Costume Contest & Parade, or just for the Parade.

Sign up at Japan Video in Japantown, San Francisco.  I think the deadline to sign up is April 12th but weren't they allowing people to sign-up (at least for the contest) on the day of the parade also?

The parade will be on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 1:00pm but the contest takes place earlier, around 10:30 am.  Check in by 10:00am.

Of course, the Cherry Blossom Festival begins the week before.

Hope to see you there!   :D

I'll be there with Ohsu.  I'll be in cosplay and participating in the parade, yays!  I'm excited this year. :3

[OniCourseMusha]

I am planning on participating in the parade.  Looking forward to this event and we can gather up some people to hang out.

[Mizuki]

I'll try and make it this time! I've missed out 3 years in a row due to bad events leading up to the event.

[edendreams]

hmm sounds interesting I'll look into it. I've always wanted to do something about cherry blossoms ^-^ heehee would be a great excuse to dress up

[Gatsby]

Omg! This is what I planned to do for my B-day since my b-day is on 4/20! Hehe... glad you posted this.

I suppose as the date comes closer, we can plan out something better...

Like, 10:00 AM on Sun.  Cosplayers in the contest meet in front of City Hall for the contest.  Then the cosplayers for the parade meet in front of city hall at 12:00...

After the parade, restaurants in J-Town get soooo packed, it's hard to eat somewhere.  I'm sure we can try to make things work out.

[Gatsby]

Hehe I was just saying that I was going to be there for my b-day I never thought of making it a real get together. :P That would be so much fun. Once I can make some more solid plans I'll make a topic in the get together forum.

Ah, I'm going to be Kula...  How do we end up doing cosplays form the same series? lol.

Maybe I'll see you there with Ohsu.

[Mr. Wendell]

I missed the first contest in 1999, and haven't missed it since.

I'll be there emceeing it, as well as helping out the judges, as usual.

[ININ]

I'm participating in the parade.  If timing is good, we can eat dinner at my cousin's Japanese restaurant in Pinole.  It's Happy Sashimi at 2718 Pinole Valley Road just off I-80.  Website is http://www.eathappysashimi.com/

Not sure about the parade yet, but will be around in general.  :)

Cool this is the day after the play I am directing and doing tech on closes. So I can actually make it this year.

No cosplay though... I haven't come up with anything yet for Fanime. So I doubt I'll have one by then.

[fanime_lo-ve]

I was thinking about going. I haven't been to the Bay Area in a long time. At least this will also give me a chance to see my Dad again too. ^-^
