(You can edit posts, y'know. ^^''

I may start depending on Amazon.com for mangas. Its just annoyingly more expensive. D:
I was under the impresion there were a few more volumes. The Fruits Basket comm on LJ... I read I'm sure it was 25 or 27 or something.

If it is 21 though, I'm not complaining! Not much left to go!

well i know i can edit but i clicked quote instead and i dunno how to delete posts. ><
aaanywho.....
pretty sure there's only 23 volumes.... there aren't that many chapters left for 5 more volumes... O.o

pretty sure there's only 23..... you are gonna cry your eyes out in the very last 2 volumes. seriously. i've only read the fan subs but i was going "waaaaaah! Kyoooooo!!!! Waaaaaaaaah! Tohruuuuu! ....... WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Akito!!!!!!" lol!

Kay my friend Kurt will be a waiter, i'll try and get him to join so he can post.

awesome. ^^

i have some pretty kewl news. ^^ i contacted the head of the Neo magazine facebook group and asked him if they can advertise. they said they can't but he will send a message to all the members of the group to tell them about the cafe. ^^ yay! that's quite a few people! ^^

That is quite good news, let's hope alot of people turn up.
We have enough staff now it seems ^^

OK so I won't be able to make it am flying out on the 12th and not back for a month.

I really hope it goes well though!

Ah sorry to hear that you can't come, enjoy your time away ^^

awwww that sucks but i guess it can't be helped. we'll send you tonnes of photos though! ^^

.....


I wonder.... has anyone thought of maybe poking the Argus about this?

Y'know, getting a little bit of coverage saying that it went on and what it was about...?
Just a thought.

Who is this Argus?

liiiiike a newspaper?
someone on the Grand ball forums (Orihime i think) said to do a mini press release about it.... other than that no. i'm going up to london in the next few days and i'm going to ask Orbital manga and tokyotoys if they'll kindly put a flyer up for us. ^^

Sorry, I forgot. You guys probably don't have the Argus were you are.

The Argus is a local newspaper down here. Covers all the big and little stories in Brighton and Hove.

I could try and get in touch with them and see if they'd be interested in doing a little report or something?

That would be awesome, Silver.

Only a few weeks left, eeeeeii!

yeah and so much to do.
manly baking. for the decorate your own cakes thing we're gonna buy some pre-made cupcakes.
mum says that we're gonna need to have savory stuff too. as it's at lunch time.
she suggested quiches and things. i would love to do riceballs but they'd either HAVE to be cold or not at all, re-heated rice is super dodgy and we can't risk killing someone! O.o
i was thinking about making some adorable mini tea sandwiches wih stuff like cheese and stooff in. (stuff that'll keep in cool conditions as opposed to cold conditions)
looks like we'll need to buy a couple big bags of ice to sit some things on/in....someone close will have to do that as 2 hours in a car won't fare well for the poor ice. XD
speaking of which, who'll be incharge of which drinks. i've got the coffee, tea and hot water covered so we just need fizzy drinks. (coke, lemonade, cream soda, appleade, etc etc)

i'm going up to london in a few days to get the competition prizes and things.

someone needs to print off some anime colouring pages and make up a couple of spot the differences. (i added a few extra activities to our list on the blog page. ^^)

uh..... i have no problem bringing the PS2 and games IF we can borrow a TV from someone close by? (pretty please with a cherry on top?)

i was thinking that if we do that it might be cool to show a couple anime episodes when no one is playing games?

mum said she'd love to take photos of us afterwards.

don't forget to keep reciepts and bring them with you if you spend money on supplies etc (not including money spent on fabric, blah blah)

think that's it for now....

umm hexi this may sound kinda dumb but where is it actualy happening?

oh yeah. you've not been around. right it's at Rox School of Dance and Drama in Hove Buisness Park, Hove is like one stop up from brighton. tis pretty busy. ^^

Hexi, I got the money for the trip so i'm 100% confirmed. Just gimme orders.

bake cakes. and arrive on time. lol!

we also need trays. i bought 2 not too long ago which are really adorable but now we have tonnes of "staff" we're gonna need more.
your pals do know they have to be in cosplay right? ^^ (preferably waiter/waitress based)

I can try and bake some cakes =D
I will arrive before hand, and yes they know its cosplay ma'am.

good good and good. ^^

i'm really worried. i have a horrible feeling we're missing something..... i haven't really set people budgets but as long as we can pay for the room afterwards it should be ok..... it's £20 an hour so it'll be £80 overall..... at least but if we don't make that a: the cafe would have been a failure to it's purpose and b: we won't be able to pay it...... pssshhhh looks like we'll have to bring a bit of money each just in case. hopefully if TokyoToys and Orbital manga let us put flyers up we'll be fine though.

why yes, i am worrier!

You've put so much effort into it, i'll try my very best on the day. So please don't worry

I'd say we could use my TV. But with Gunstar not coming its... not very likely. My mum works funny hours, and my sister is never around on the weekends, and my TV is too cumbersome to take on the bus. >__<;; (Its really big and heavy).

I have plenty of singstars to bring though, a dance mat and a couple of games for that.

I can try and do some baking. Fairy cakes with icing, and maybe some mini merangines (I cannot spell that word. X__X)

I emailed the Argus, but haven't heard anything back yet.

No-one has a portable tv..? Damn I used to have one..=[

i have a stupidly old one but we're already bringing so much with us....

silver: tis spelt Meringues. ^^ and it sounds awesome. meringue is yummy! what are we gonna do about savoury food though?

Damn, I wasn't even close... X_X

By savoury do you mean stuff like chicken legs and sausages and stuff?
Cause it shouldn't be too hard to get some precooked cocktail sausages and just heat them up. Same with stuff like sausage rolls or pork pies. Uhm... sandwiches could be done (cheese, marmite, ham?).
And crisps.
Maybe get some tikka bites and stuff like that from Marks and Spencer or something? I'm just listing stuff off that we have on Christmas Eve and the like...
