Shameless bump*

Sorry! I'm surprised, no one else is interested in going? :P C'mon its japan town! its a random excuse to dress up and have fun. :D

I know there will be a Lolita meet up because of the Baby Store event, but also a good excuse to get random arts/crafts and good foods from the Japanese culture.

Also the kids carnival zone to test your random game skills and see if you win random fluffy prizes.

Anyone else going? :P or is everyone still broke? no transportation available?

I would offer rides, but my car is already full. I'm going Saturday.

Hope to some more fanime forum friends there!  :)

Darn, I would so want to go to this, but dang it, family plans and birthday parties. D;
Looking from Chinatown in Oakland, its just right across. T___T
I've always wanted to go to these, but oddly enough, there's always something that interferes. D;

I might show up since I don't really have anything else to do this weekend (other than getting a haircut)

I did go briefly during saturday morning for the Baby event sale of their "lucky packs" sadly tho i didnt bring my camera though...

of course im sure there are random pictures of me on random ppls phones, like fanime- i had lots of random UP fans take random pictures of me.

i was there only for a short while from about noon-ish til slightly pass 2pm- then we rushed over to Fentons for lunch and ice cream...

there are more Fenton pictures from the lolita meetup which ill post in that thread if i ever get around to it. :P
