fangirling ahoy

ATTENTION MINNESOTA FANGIRLS

We did this two years ago and thought it would be fun to have another JE fanmeet at the Como Park Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival. :D

WHERE: Como Zoo Conservatory (directions / map)
WHEN: Sunday, August 15. The gates open at 3:00 pm with the lantern-lighting around sunset.
COST: $5 to enter, plus additional money if you want to buy food or other things

I'm tentatively planning on having everyone meet shortly after it opens, around 3-3:30ish maybe? However, parking that day is insane, so it's a good idea to arrive about a half an hour early. I think the easiest place to meet would be in front of the Visitor's Center (map). I'll be the crazy girl with the Sho uchiwa. :Db The entrance to the festival itself is in front of the conservatory building. If you can't arrive until later in the day, message me. I can give you my cell number so we can connect once you arrive. :)

There will probably be time to just hang out and chat, so bring along any magazines/photobooks/goods to pass around and fangirl over. :D

Comment here or at the Facebook event if you're planning on coming so I can get a rough count on how many people to expect. Or leave a comment if I'm forgetting something because I probably am. XD;

That is the week after I'm visiting the Cities *headdesk* And the friend I'm staying with lives right across the street from the zoo. GAH. It would have been so epic!

Dang! That's exactly five days after I leave the Twin Cities. Knew I should've booked my flight for a later day T.T

How I wish I could go, it was so much fun last time. <3 But alas I'll probably be working and I think its to soon to start asking for time off. >

I might come to this. It would be definite if I actually had my own means of transportation, but I do not. Also I'm not really sure since I only like NEWS/TegoMass and would possibly be out of place.

I'm glad someone decided to do a fan meet though. I tried to a few years ago but never followed through with it.

I would really love to go, but I have the same issue as the person above me.

Plus this would be my first one of these, and I don't know if I'd be comfortable going alone...

Ooh, this sounds so awesome. I wasn't able to go to the first one, but I might be able to come this time around! :D

If people need rides, I have a car and would be willing to help out. I live in the St. Paul area, but am not opposed to driving a bit. :) Send me a PM if you need a ride.

Don't worry if you only follow 1 group. <3 The bank would take my house if I tried to follow all the groups!!

I'm moving to Minnesota a week too late. T___T Lantern Lighting Festival 2011, anybody? :D
