First Nico Viewing Party:


Second Nico Live Viewing Party:

Breakfast....

of CHAMPIONS! (Strawberries not pictured)

Ready for comment spamming

Enjoying the show

Thanks for coming out guys!

---------------------------------------------

As for tomorrow, this is also a good opportunity to pick up the CD&DL magazines, if you ordered through me.

Protein Powder? HA HA!

I nominate Neil's place for after hours! If anyone wants to chill out a bit after the festival, I'll be sticking around his place to rest up before my drive back home... Heh, yes it was approved by the man of the house... HA HA!

After hours is still open to ideas, but Neil's place might be the final stop before the end of the night?

@wat you guys are hardcore lol

oh wow, hardcore is right! looks like each party is getting more elaborate.

LOL dude i didnt even notice you take pictures, you can even tell how absorbed we are haha so thats not surprising

and that picture with the 5 screens in it looks INTENSE hahahah gotta go big if we hope to get our comments through to them! lol

oh and just noticed the cameo appearances by our Canta and Doraemon heads in some of the pictures

Mark your calendars kids, we're going to Universal Studios Hollywood next week! The fabled land of DAI-CHAN!



WHERE
Universal Studios Hollywood
http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/

WHEN
Friday, August 12
Time TBD (but plan on being free for the whole day)
Dinner: 8:00PM @ Universal City Walk

PRICE:
General Admission: $77
12 Month "Value Pass": $79
6 Month "Summer Special": $69 (online only)

Might as well get some form of pass, and there are almost NO blackout dates (yes they are really hurting for money). If YOU are hurting for money, but are available that day, don't let that stop you -- please PM me.

Wear your SH Shirt, we will be hunting down some DAI-CHANS to get a picture and for purchase if you choose to do so (i know i am )

If you're interested in going please post or PM. If you can't make it, don't worry there's always next time!

If you can't go to the park but want to come for dinner, we can meet at 8:00PM at Universal City Walk (restaurant TBD).

THANKS!

definitely going, gotta find me a wild Dai-chan for myself! :onionrider:

and im also getting an all-you-can-eat day pass muahahah

lol I hope they're stocked up on Dai-chans for you guys

lol I wonder if I'll regret suggesting this in the first place... :P haha kidding; I'm down!

a kid down the block from my house was playing with Dai-chan in his front yard last week. its funny how it now symbolizes Rina!

I'm down for dinner at the end, if you guys are going out of the park for it, if you're eating inside then its no point. I cant afford a ticket right now.

AAAAARRRRGG!!! I'm available the week after on Tue, Wed, Thur. Fri are my busy days! Maybe I can meet fri night after work. But I'll try to swing something with my overlords.

You can put me down as a maybe. I'm doing some fine tuning on my car so I can take the old gal on some long trips. I'll be sure to let you guys know if I can as soon as possible.

It sure would be nice to have one last hurrah before my semester begins again .sweat.

why so soon?... I was planning on being "sick" for work next week to finish off some errands, so I don't think my boss will let me play hooky too much in one sitting... HA HA! We'll see the outcome of that though! A random act of "injury" should send me home quite well...

But seriously if I don't make it, I'll spend that night with Lale and help him practice some headstands... .rage. "BWAH HA HA!"

@Lale: How many copies of "Baby Action" did you preorder that would make you broke so fast?

@Glenn: So... Should we be "sick", "injured", or "other" for the U.S. trip?

@jade thats right this was your genius idea after all

@lale that's a good idea actually; ok if you can't make it to the park for the day, we can also plan to meet up for dinner at Universal City Walk at around 8PM.

also if you can't afford a ticket right now but are free on that friday, PM me.

wow, universal studios... sounds fun! i wish i had the money to go lol have u guys been to the socal fair already?

DAMNIT WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS EARLIER, I cant make it anymore sorry .waaa.

so i went to Universal Studios today and got a Dai-chan.
and yes the whole time there, thats all i thought about was getting him because of the Scandal connection.

btw, hes expensive! $33! also hes much bigger than i thought.

another other takers? there's gotta be more people that have a free friday! remember that it's THIS FRIDAY.

..not last friday like lale thought...

i'm probably gonna go. not sure whether i want to buy a full year's pass though. although i am aware that you can get a ticket for half the price (just not sure how).

Nissei Week is here!

WOO! If I had met you sooner, you would have seen me showcasing with some buddies at the car show... HA HA! As for this weekend, I can shoot for Sunday since I get off work at 3.00, but you know how timing is a big issue with me, so I'll be a little late if I do make it in...

Next week though, I can take the weekend off, but there's dubious plans awaiting me then... HA HA! The Taiko Drum demonstration is a must on that Sunday though, so I'll be available next week...


@Wat: There's a higher percentage of me coming to U.S. this Friday, so motivate me to clear out some trash around the house ASAP today... HA HA!

It's a bit of a ways off but you'll need to order tickets ASAP to ensure good seating...

so how was the trip to universals studio guys?

haha it was a lot of fun. The rides/shows there are actually really good, or at least better than we remembered them to be when we had last gone there 5+ years ago haha. And of course we found and got our own respective Dai-chans:

Sorry for looking disheveled; we had just gotten off of Jurassic Park where we had gotten whacked in the face by a lot of water. :P

Oh, and when we bought them, the saleslady said, "You're going to make some little kids happy!"

Yeah, us. XD

Afterward, we met up with Glenn and went to eat at Tony Roma's, where the main course for our Dai-chans was Erich himself!
