where the hell is this? is it just down the way from New Minny's (or whatever that old Dennys was called). Sounds interesting.

Yea, I'm curious to check it out this weekend.
It's that building w/ all glass walls in front that they've been building up.
I heard there's going to be a maid cafe.

hey... ain't nothing wrong with having someone to play rock, paper, scissors with before a meal!

i didn't think the maid cafes in akihabara had rock paper scissors games, but that does sound like good clean fun

well.. the one i went to, the played PS3, some game with a man in the barrel that you stick swords in, rock paper scissors, etc. they also had a bell you could ring to summon the maids. very bizarre experience (especially since i don't know what the hell they were saying)

Wow! Im super excited for this! Ill be in SF Sat anyway, Ill definetly have to stop by New People and check it out.

was it this version of the sword game? yoHoooooooooo!!

and a short video of the toy

Is this the building where the old bowling alley used to be? Post and Webster

it's directly across from the Benihana...a few doors down from the old bowling alley.

Sounds interesting. I think we're going to try and hit the theater for some 20th Century Boys on Friday the 21st.

I don't think I'd go on the opening day of this place. There's going to be way too many kids which should be perfect for rhino
still...the building itself looks pretty cool and i'm pretty anxious to see what it all looks like when it is completed.

Does rhino prefer cosplay or tokidoki?

hmmmm, aside from the New People Store on the mezzanine and the gallery, i'm not sure I would ever want to return to this place.

cosplay. got to get my sailormoon on

aw man... have to check out the gallery there. has the dude that does the vampire hunter D and final fantasy artwork!

Baby The Stars Shine Bright was in a movie a few years ago called Kamikaze Girls. It stars Kyoko Fukada and Anna Tsuchiya. I kinda enjoyed that movie. I will definitely be checking out the gallery:

I'd probably only go for the Viz Cinema depending on what's showing. Still, cool to see.

I like how 'street fashion' eventually has flagship stores

I'm going to be up in the Bay this weekend. Me and the family will have to check this place out on Sunday.

I drove past today. holy crap, the building isn't even finished yet let alone ready for visitors on Sat.

maybe they were going for the structural hazard look. i hear its the new thing in japanese architecture

purdy

Actually what I meant was "does rhino like cosplay or tokidoki girls" but I probably shouldn't say that because the misunderstood version is much funnier.

so...what time are people going to show up?
