Also, I'd like to draw HnK sketches for you for attending this gathering as a token of thanks! Please let me know which character from Houseki no Kuni you'd like a sketch of below, so I know what to draw and for who by Sunday, May 20th.
Yay, Houshi no Kuni love! I will be Diamond, most likely on Friday or Sunday - CLAMP gathering will be on Saturday. If this gathering date changes - would love to attend! ;D
ooh~ I'm same with Lakari.
I'm cosing Houseki on Sunday, since there's a Fate gathering on Saturday :)
I'll keep my eyes peeled~
Alright, awesome, thanks for letting me know! We'll see what day most people can be free on as the date approaches.
Since Saturday seems to be of interest, I might be able to push it to a Sunday afternoon; the Fire Emblem gathering is on Sunday.
Would anyone be interested in a poll?
I am down for Sunday afternoon for Houseki no Kuni gathering! Any day other than Saturday works for me honestly.
Yea~ we can poll just to gauge what works best for everyone :)
But Sunday afternoon looks good to me too~
Hello Everyone, thank you all so much for your feedback!
I've set up a google form survey/poll to see where everyone is and what you'd all prefer. Getting a general headcount of how many people are interested and what time is most convenient for everyone will really help!

I'd like to close this survey by this Friday, March 30th, so that I can submit our gathering to be official.
Happy Spring, everyone! :)
Realized I never updated this thread with a link to the Facebook page! Here it is! :

Hello all!
Reminder to fill out the poll if you haven't done so yet!
Thank you so much for your insight thus far; thank you to whoever brought up the Studio Ghibli concert at 2pm to my attention. I know that putting the gathering at 1pm might put a strain on your schedule, but as the SJ Center for Performing Arts is across the street from the con, perhaps attending the first 30 minutes of the gathering might still be possible. I'll keep you updated as soon as I can!
UPDATE: I'm also considering making little Houseki no Kuni art sketches to hand out to everyone as a token of thanks for attending this gathering! Let me know if you're interested in a sketch and which HnK character you'd want a sketch of by Sunday, May 20th so I know how many sketches to draw and for who! You can PM me your preferred name/username if it doesn't match your forum username and you'd like to keep it private.
Aww that's so sweet! If its not too much would love a Padparadscha one <3
Thanks for coordinating~~
Sounds good! I have Paparadscha noted down! Please let me know if you haven't yet what gems you all would like a sketch of!
UPDATE: Our official gathering time will be on Sunday, at 1pm at G8 Location! UnlimitedThaiTea and I have been talking to each other and have decided to co-host! I will be waiting at the Art Sculpture in front of the convention center at 12:50pm for those who are lost, and will take you to the gathering location. Hopefully everything works out; let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Also: If you are debating whether or not to cosplay or don't have a cosplay for this gathering yet, I am selling a Houseki Gems' Black Uniform/Jumpsuit! I ordered the wrong size and this one was a bit too small for me; it would best fit someone under 5'3", bust 34 inches, waist 26 inches. Looking to sell it for $30, pick up at con, but am willing to negotiate! Please private message me for more details.
Hello! I'll be coming to the meetup as either Diamond or Ghost Quartz. I'd love a sketch of Ghost Quartz if it isn't too much trouble! Thank you for coordinating!
No worries! I've got ghost quartz noted down! Hope to see you soon!
Heyas, thanks for putting this gathering together! I will definitely be there Sunday as Diamond.
For the sketch, I would like to request for Diamond =). Looking forward to seeing everyone next month!
Hello! I'm so happy someone actually made a HnK meetup and I am very excited to see everyone! However, I unfortunately won't be cosplaying as any of the gems, but I still would love to attend and take pictures XD I'm wondering if you'll still be offering drawings to non-houseki no Kuni cosplayers as well? But I understand if it's primarily for the cosplayers and it's totally fine by me!! I'll see all you lovelies there ;))
Of course! I've put Diamond down for a sketch.
And @tora-hentai, definitely! Let me know who you'd like a drawing of!
Also, reminder that I am still selling a Houseki Gem's jumpsuit cosplay! DM me on instagram @thecrazycyborggirl or email me if interested!
[email protected]
Yaay thank you thank you!!! I'd like a pic of my baby antarc please ^^ I'll be cosplaying as a bird-mascot thing lol I'm sure you'll notice me XD
Phos! My costume was put together last-minute for another con, and I'll probably leaving all the fixups for the last-minute again because that's how I do things, but unless things go horribly wrong I'll be there :)
Alright sounds awesome, I have Phos and Antarcticite noted down! Looking forward to seeing you both there!
Fanime is now officially less than one month away! Posting this update to bump this thread in case some people haven't seen it.
Please note the photography order so that we can all be prepared and make this gathering efficient!
I will be making small drawings of the gems for anyone who wants one! Please reply to this thread with the gem of your choice!
I am also still selling an Asian size M (small) Houseki gems' black jumpsuit for anyone who is interested or still needs a cosplay for this gathering! I ordered the wrong size, it was too small for me. Pick up at con is an option! Price is negotiable. Message me or DM me on instagram (@thecrazycyborggirl) if you're interested!
Hey! Sorry for late reply but me and my sis confirmed we're going to the gathering. :.)
I'll be Cairngorm and she'll be post winter Phos.
Isitalrighttogetdrawingsofourcharacters?:.C

Definitely!! I've got you down for Cairngorm and Phos. Looking forward to seeing you two there!!

My friend Chris (@chrisphamtasy on instagram) and I took photos and videos during the gathering, but I don't know how to share them on the forum. I will make a slideshow of them for my vlog videos!
