Good old Starbucks. This time of year, it's not really that cold, and the coffee definitely causes us to be stupid crazy awesome people. Or just one of those. You pick.

If there is a decent movie launching this day, we will probably go and give it a look, though I never really plan around those.

We will be outside the starbucks, sitting at their little tables with big umbrella's. Look for the group that makes no sense, and is louder than the others.

Set in an apocalyptic future, this re-imagining of one the classic anime television series is now a motion picture. A group of teenage mecha pilots working for NERV must learn to do battle in giant armored mecha known as Evangelions to protect Neo Tokyo from the threat of the invading Angels.

The New Evangelion Movie is finally here in theaters, and will only be playing in the Inland Empire for 1 night. I will obviously be there, due to my unparalleled love for this series. All are welcome.

Don't forget to buy your tickets. Available on the Theater's website.

Heading out to the Starbucks in Corona. All are welcome to join, and its REALLY cold so bring your jacket.

You can tell us by the volume levels in excess of an angry mob. Either that or we just sit around and freeze in the cold.

I hate to say it guys, but this is going to be my busy time for about 3 months, so no more meetups at my place until April, So sorry to disappoint. No, I'm not, I like to disappoint.

This meetup is in conjunction with the Orange County anime meetup group.

Hanamatsuri literally means "flower festival" and is a celebration of Gautama Buddha's birthday. On Saturday, April 18, 2009, the Orange County Buddhist Church will celebrate Hanamatsuri with cultural exhibits, stage programs, food, and carnival games!

Admission for the festival is FREE, so this should be a fairly low-key, wallet-friendly event. However, don't forget to bring some cash for food!

I'm going to be there around 1PM, but folks can always join up later. The festival runs from 1PM to around 8PM.

It seems like there are quite a few things to do and see, though, as you can see below:

* Cultural Exhibits: Koi Fish, Antique Swords, Ikebana (Flower Arrangements), Tea Ceremony, Sumi-E (Ink Drawings), Kimono Display, Kimekomi Dolls, Bonsai, Chigiri-e (Torn Paper Art), Fabric Dyeing, Japanese School, Dharma School
* Stage Performances: Judo, Aikido, Kendo, Karate, Nihon Buyo (Classical Dance), Koto, Shakuhachi (Musical Instruments), Minyo (Folk Song), Taiko Drums
* Food: Chicken Teriyaki, Wonton, Sushi, Udon, Teriyaki Beef, Chow Mein, Corn on the Cob, Teri-Burgers, Dango, Vegetables, Chicken Salad, Snow Cones
* Games: Carnival Games, Gold Fish, Raffle Prizes

Come prepared to wander, socialize with your fellow group members, and enjoy a laid-back Saturday.
