OK, I think everyone is going to be at G-Fest Sat, so how does getting together after the costume contest for some Pizza! There is a Gino's East about 1.9 miles away. Me and Mary can fit 3 people in the car. So sound off if this sounds like a plan, this is all tentative, I don't know the burbs that well, I know that the pizza place is on the way to the theater for anyone going to the movie. If anyone knows a place better to eat around the convention center, I'm all ears. Address for Pizza 8725 W Higgins Rd Chicago, Illinois 60631
i put my thumb up for your plan. the costume parade is half the reason i go to g-fest. but it seems like linda and v are planning on going to the roto yo-yo after party instead there will always be more snyboras, but you can only experience the monster costumes in person!
OK, so yo yo thing and everything. Whoever is planning on going to G-fest and staying for the costume contest, we will go to dinner between 6-8. Or play it by ear, or whatever. I plan on seeing everyone through the day at least on Sat.
HIYA We (Chibi Goji Toys) will be in the Dealers room until 5pm when it closes. eTr Wolf has offered us a ride to the YoYo after-party at Rotofugi 6-8pm. I am looking forward to picking up the new Lake Monster Synbora. Be sure to ask for a Skullbrain discount if you want to purchase anything. Linda/GG and Noel Danger
i'm torn as to what to do... (and honestly, i may end up unable to either!) m and i are headed out to batavia saturday for my nephew's first birthday part, and since we don't have a car between us, we're depending on a ride from some friends. (but i did get my nephew the most awesome super grover cape, ever... so it's not a total wash. =p)
Hopefully you can make it Chris! But that's understandable. A grover cape is awesome! Great present! I've been debating seeing the cosyume show.. But I figured I would see some people walking around in costume, and the others, hopefully someone will record the costume parade on video and I can see it later on you tube or whatever... Plus, there's always next year to see another G-Fest costume parade I figure. Hope to see everyone there on Saturday! A few people have my phone number in case you need to reach me. On another note, will the CASK/G-Fest get together happen once on Saturday or twice? I see that you are planning an evening get together, but I probably won't be there for that one (trying to make it to Roto later on), but maybe some of us can also get together for a luch or one of the events? Oh, and I'll try my best to be there some time before noon. I'll text Bryan and Bill when I get there.
Word thanks for the info. I haven't really determined when and where we get together, it's kind of fly by the seat of your pants deal, especially since no one knows what the plans are. The reason I do the putt putt is because it's hot through the day, and the course is just awesome at night! I'll be posting video of the costume contest on youtube and my blog.
I have in-laws in town so I'm really not sure what's up with me. If I'm not working I'm dealing with people related to me on paper. Always on the griiiiiiiind.
I will most likely be there on Saturday (by myself, unfortunately), have to leave by 4, and wouldn't be much fun for any sort of lunch trips (vegan). So... yeah. But feel free to say "Hi!"
If my in laws were in town I would be anywhere but with them. Maybe I would tell them to bike in Englewood!
Well it's not like "sitcom in-laws" they're OK. I just want to go to GFest more. Don't know what I can pull off yet.
Well these are my wife's siblings, they're ok. Her mom is (literally, and I'm not misusing that word or over exaggerating, literally) insane. Like I say that and people are like "oh yeah mine too haha" and I'm like "No...no...this isn't a sitcom, I'm being literal, clinically insane, chemically imbalanced." So I know about nutty in-laws At least the insanity is an excuse for her behavior though, not just being an ass like some.
well, technically it's bryan's ass, if i remember correctly... but yeah. one of my mom's cousins has got some mental health issues. he's close to 60 years old, yet he's got the mental capabilities (and attitude) of, say, a 16 year old. nothing like being trapped in a conversation where no matter what he says, he's absolutely certain he's right.
Oh yeah, that's right, she has my booty on her desktop! I always forget about that, my ass comes out all the time, so I assume everyone has a picture of my ass on thier desktop.
If you ever come to one of Minh's party you'll see. That sucks Jeff you missed a good time! Special thanks to Linda awesome toys and now she's got me into M1go, so maybe I shouldn't be thanking her. Ultra and his better half for showing around a G-Fest newbie, it was super fun and I'm looking forward to G-fest expanding and being even more amazing. I will post a link when I get the costume contest up!
looking forward to some video, bryan. i didn't make it back from batavia until almost 8:30, so i ended up missing everything. oh well, them's the breaks... at least the super grover cape went over like a charm!
Alrighty, you can go right to my blog and enjoy the video or the Youtube link is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDjIY60ODuI
i didn't realize they had a filming set this year, too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW7e7tqn998 missed it completely looks like that's why jd said he'd been in his gfantis costume in the middle of the day. also, before they showed gamera, they showcased some faux trailers made by fans. one of my gfest buddies was in it, hamming it up good times, good times.
