BayAnime meetup: New People grand opening!

(49 posts)
  1. At least two us from No-Name Anime are going to come from the South Bay. We probably won't arrive until sometime between 1pm and 2pm. We'll probably walk from BART.

    I met up with the group around 11:45am. Only around 6 members of BayAnime were there. Hopefully I'll get to meet more in the future.

    Everybody was down to earth and easy to get along with. If I ever meet anyone again in future events, I'll drop by and say hello. :)

  3. Sorry we missed meeting up with most of you. We arrived closer to 3pm. We lined up to get in the building a little after 4pm when the wait wasn't too long. We didn't get to see the third floor or some of the second floor because it too crowded. We met lyricaldanichan in the Kinokunia downstairs manga section.

    I took a couple pictures.

    The Japanese-style street festival that I'm most familiar with is the San Jose Obon Festival. I was surprised this festival didn't have an area with gambling booths and if there was sake sold outside, I didn't notice it.

  4. I wasn't able to meetup with you guys cos they already had people lined up for the store. It was badly run and chaotic, but
    at the end a lot people buying especially in BSSB.. you couldn't get into that floor it was so crowded.

  5. I think "Baby, the Stars Shine Bright" was the part of 2nd floor we didn't get into. There was a line of people in front of the shoes and socks area that didn't seem to be moving.

  6. Unfortunately I had to leave pretty early to make a wedding... sorry if I didn't get to meet up with all of you! Sounds like things picked up later when the bands started playing. Thanks for posting your photos, Ed! Anyone else took pictures? There's a pretty short article on sfgate with a few pics... and I spotted Mari/Sailor Moon in it!

  7. It was not a good weekend. I ended up going on vacation. There were too many other things going on that weekend. I am sure the next event will be more popular. I still have to go down there today and see it.

  8. ;_; It was super chaotic that day, I was only able to see ann for like 2 minutes because I was at work. after work I was able to snap a couple of videos and movies ^_^ I posted them in my myspace key word :Usagikam. After the picture that ann posted I was interviewed by mtv japan and I froze I did not know what to say ^_^ so that I don't think they use.

    I was able to take a small interview of the girl who sings the powerpuff girl song in japan and also was able to snap video of the 20th century boys actress and of friend ^_^. I also did some vide of the 6% tokidoki girls who were so sweet.
    but I was so exhausted so after seeing the movie, I was again interviewed and then I went home and fell asleep.
    but I really wanted to meet everyone ;_; well maybe next time.
    usagi
