Friday Con is on a Saturday.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Considering I'll be in the area on that day, and I'll actually have money I'll hit it up. I won't be able to get there until about 430, but better late than never.
I won't be able to sorry

As in japanese translation of "Kin-Yoobi" = Friday
when the actualy day of the con is Saturday?...
Is that suppose to be an inside joke? I dont get it.
EDIT-
Well after reading their website, theyre keeping their original name from its humble beginings, but it looks like they are big enough to take up a whole day = Saturday.
Seein how their sponsored by some reputable comapnies (ie, wizards & Viz) and give out free food/lunch and the option of the auction dating (interesting and yet slight disturbing at the same time...)
It actually looks worth while. too bad ill be busy moving in my new sexy roommate :P
maybe next year.
I'll be going to this. Been plannin on going for a couple of weeks.
It's a baby con! Looks like it could be fun, I'll have to see what my plans are for Saturday.

More like Mini-con (its looks like a respectable size) because it actually has some good sponsors :)
Too short notice for me to want to attend, I didn't even know there was a con in Hayward. But I always like going to local events.

Neither did I and I live here. Can't go either. I'll call Bun if she wants to do lunch or something later on lol.
I'll go for a while, I have to work at 3:30 that day so I'll go early, check out what's what, and split for work when I need to.
i'd like to go to this but prolly wont make it.
Could you have a Con report and take plenty of pictures for us pretty please
K Thanks Bye! ;D
I'm terrible at reporting but I'll do my best *salutes* and take what pics I can. Dunno if I'll make it there by 9 (WHAA-AAT!) but hopefully I'll get there in time for panels and such. :D Ryu - sorry I missed your call, I'll try and reach you sometime Friday between working and working
I'll be there sometime in the afternoon, look for the guy with massive hair wearing a black Tokyo In Tulsa MINION shirt, first person to say something fanime related gets a prize!
SOOOo I spent to much at the club now, so I'm a no show.
Well, I didn't get there until almost 11 (late night almost did me in :-\) and left early before 4. Had fun though and finally made it to Gilles Poitras' panel after missing it at previous Fanimes. Didn't take many pics, easily distracted - several vendors (bought buttons and toys), video gaming, several tables for gaming, bands and continuous music. Free pizza for attendees! I could easily make this an annual event. Actually made it to a few panels, something I didn't do enough of at Fanime.
This year's event appeared to be nearly triple the size in terms of events and attendees, from the few hours I was there. I've had such a rough week, I'm glad I had a con to look forward to, for the weekend :D
it was.... i went through it pretty quick, offered corn to the storm troopers..
yeah. If i'd remembered to grab my bleach cards before leaving the house, i probably would have stayed longer.
I was there. It was awesome. Way more people then last year. Let's see.. I show up, first thing that happens, I hear "RENO!!!" and I'm thinking "oh shit, RUN" now I'm running with liek 10 girls and 1 dude chasing me I'm like "WTF" LOL. So anyways I finely get to regestration, pay, go in and had a good time xD. Oh and that first band that played was AWESOME. Oh and I think it was the 3rd band that played(I remember their guitarist played with a band there last year) that didn't have a drummer... Well if there looking for one, I happen to be a drummer who is looking for a band xD.
Reno, bad corn experience?

LOL no.. I just don't suport yaoi..
I was there, it was quite fun. I enjoyed playing video games, doing karaoke and checking out all the cool stuff with the dealers had at their stands. I was satisfied, I just hated having to leave early to go to work. But I enjoyed the time I was at Kinyoobi.
Some pics, not much, but remembered the new rule (okay so it's posted right there in the corner jeepers)
Me and the "pizza-pizza" guy - can't believe this guy, and the cosplayers in the next two pics wearing full outfits like that. I know I'd get overheated and pass out.

And this is a pic of one of the table games. Not even sure what this is, but I love all the little pieces and stuff. Reminds me of when I used to have a train set ...

_insert 'pizza pizza!' guy costume_
i have a feeling he used to work for little ceasars (or still does) and just randomly wanted a reason to wear the costume...
that or he wanted to pick up chicks with free pizza.
genius idea. :P

I think little ceasars delivered pizza to the con.
Edited my other post. Holy pepperoni, just looked at the pizza box behind us, Little Ceasar's it is. ;D
here's pics I took from the con: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v444/cherryteagirl/Kinyoobi%2008/ (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v444/cherryteagirl/Kinyoobi%2008/)
I had a LOT of fun at Kin-YoobiCon, and I felt it was well worth the price.
One of the only complaints I had was the fact that the Cosplay Date Auction never happened! I was going to be in it, and hopefully have a date with a girl to...stupid staff...
I was the tall (6' 4") person with long natural orangish red hair, in the Pink Lolita dress ^_^
