[Prinny Squad]

We need to practice our wota chants too before the concert, don't forget that!

[Pflaume]

I will have a job by then. Less chance of me getting trampled, I guess.

[kuhaiyaazi]

I'm definitely going. I'll probably be rooming with someone from Hello!Online, but I'd like to see you guys. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />

[Pucchi-Mo]

Well damn, If I ended up going, I'd probably go more for the BBS interaction than MM.



Bring along some elder club chicks and then we'll talk. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />

...or invite Maki, She likes LA. These are my conditions UFA. Take it or leave it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Melon]

OMGASM END OF MM CONFIRMED



Why couldn't this happen when the lineup were people I liked? D:



I feel obligated to go, as years of fandom dreams testify. (And if it's well received, will the groups I like now come? COMEONCOMEON) It's so far away though, and expensive. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' /> Meeting the BBS folk would provide more entertainment, I'm sure.

[Gypchan]

I'd be more for the MMBBS meet-up, but if Madara doesn't take the trip too, I am going to feel so damn old.



Who are the MMBBS people already IN California?

[Joel]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG



I... Uh... OMG

[Pflaume]

So wait, when does online pre-registration begin? General admission includes concerts, right? We need to start a planning thread, for serious.

It's Morning Musume, even if Geof doesn't go, there's bound to be plenty of old men surrounding them.

(he came to mind because he's in California AND old, both at the same time) <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />

[wramos14]

Well I guess I'm changing my plans to BBQ this Fourth of July weekend and fly down to Socal.

[kuze]

Make a sticky in Members Territory.

[Special Needs Tricycle]

We have 6 months, you guys. Stop freaking out over planning are start freaking out that MORNING FUCKING MUSUME IS COMING TO AMERICA.

[kuze]

Set List predictions, GO!

JUN JUN! LIN LIN! I get to see them all! (Hopefully!) Does anyone know if there is gonna be like a handshake/signing? OMG

I forgot about Geof!



Okay, I just text messaged him ("Hey, MM is coming to AX in July. Can I crash at your place? LOL") and he replied:

"You've got to be kidding. Why the FUCK couldn't they have done this when I cared? Stupid Aika."

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



Well, I IM'd the husband with a link to the announcement and the message: "Hey! Let's take a family trip for 4th of July weekend to LA!"

He LOL'd, of course, and then asked me if I knew anyone going.

Now I am not sure if he is serious or what! It's like trying to figure out when people on here are being sarcastic or not!

You have clearly never been to big conventions. All the decent hotel rooms will be gone months out, and trying to pre-register late is not only expensive but a royal pain. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />



I want to get this planned and set and stone YESTERDAY so I don't get a migraine over it in June.

Plus, LA is expensive as FUCK compared to some other places.

I'd say it will cost at least as much as 3 Dragon*Cons to explain it in terms you would be familiar with. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[Pflaume]

I know. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />

[Ap2000]

I wouldn't go to an anime/manga convention, even if MM AND X Japan would show up and hide would be revived somehow.



Maybe you guys haven't seen enough Conventioneers Episodes to know what kind of people are on such things... unless... you are actually part of those people.

Yeah, I'm going to miss a once in a lifetime opportunity because I don't like anime. Good logic there, bro.

Well, I guess if you're never getting to Japan, then it is actually your only opportunity.

[Cyrene]

I'm moving next month into a single apt like...15 minutes on foot to the convention center. Fuck. Yes.



So if anyone wants to sleep on my couch, go for it! Hahaha.



I forgot to add to add that the area is still Ghetto, no matter how nice they say it's getting. Downtown LA has Skid-Row! Be careful at night <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />.

[Pflaume]

I am allergic to anime con goers for the most part, but I'm still going. A ton of BBS buddies + Marning Musmey? Yes please.

[Sugoi Sama]

LOST ANGLES HERE I COME!!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />
