Hello everyone--welcome to our fifth anime brunch in Seattle!

As always, we'll meet up outside of Uwajimaya, the big Asian grocery in the middle of the International District (trust me, you can't miss it). We plan to stop at Kinokuniya and Uwajimaya both in order to drool over manga, movies, and delectable goodies. After that--we eat! I welcome any and all suggestions--previous places have included the cafe court, seafood hotpots, and other well-hidden and delicious restaurants. :-D And after that ... who knows? Past excursions have taken us to Chinese bakeries and having a Lion Dance performed for us during lunch, and there's still lots of places to explore!

I know the International District is tough for parking--hopefully the free Sunday parking and new light rail access will help with that. And if anyone wants to attend, but isn't sure of their transportation, feel free to shoot the group an e-mail; carpooling is a great way to meet other members.

So bring yourself and any friends--shopping is more fun with others, after all! I'll be there outside the main entrance of Uwajimaya--look for the girl in the funny monster hat under the big metal dragon sculpture--and I'll have a sign up as well.

If anyone else has any suggestions on where to go or things to do, let us know .... hopefully a fun time will be had by all!

So, Lincoln Square Cinemas in Bellevue is showing the new Christmas Carol film in 3-D and I thought it might be really fun to go watch it - anyone else interested?

Here is the address, if anyone needs that:
700 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004

And there are quite a number of showings as well, which makes for comfortable planning: (Right now we're planning to attend the 6:30 pm showing, but if other members express a preference for a different one, we're flexible!)

Depending on what people want, there's also the option of meeting before or after for dinner--our options abound! Let us know what you think!

Welcome, everyone, to our monthly potluck for October. I apologize for the delay, but now that the weather is getting colder, it's time to get together with some good company and watch some anime!

We'll be continuing with 'Toward the Terra' this month--a gorgeous anime remake of a 1980 sci-fi classic where humans have left a ruined Earth for space, and are ruled by computers--and the psychic outcasts, the Mu, which are hunted and trying to find a way back to humanity's home.

We'll also have Mirage of Blaze and Sohryuden: Legend of the Dragon Kings available, along with any other anime people might want to bring--including Gundam 00, if a certain member attends! *winkwink*

The usual things to remember: we can't watch a whole series in a few hours, so we'll probably only watch a few episodes of any one thing, depending on what people want. So make sure to speak up if you like something--or if you want to bring something of your own. And please feel free to bring snacks to share with your fellow fans, if you want--women cannot live by anime alone, after all! :D

The meetup is at my place again from 3 pm to 8 pm or so--I have enough room for a small horde, at least. :) Be warned: I'm in the wilds of Kent, so my apologies to any of our more northerly folk. As always, if anyone wants to propose an alternate location, I'm always open to new options...

That's it for now--I hope to see you all there!

Welcome, everyone, to our monthly potluck for August--time to get back into the swing of things!

I have discovered a great new anime series--which means, of course, that I need to share it! That series is called 'Toward the Terra'--a gorgeous anime remake of a classic 1980 film. It's a look at a dystopian future where humans have left a ruined Earth for space, and are ruled by computers--and the psychic outcasts, the Mu, which are hunted and trying to find a way back to humanity's home.

We'll also have available Mirage of Blaze and Sohryuden: Legend of the Dragon Kings, along with any other requests people might have.

Welcome to our third Sunday anime brunch in Seattle!

As always, we'll meet up outside of Uwajimaya, the big Asian grocery in the middle of the International District (trust me, you can't miss it). We will stop at Kinokuniya and Uwajimaya both in order to drool over manga and such wonderous things as Pocky, Pocari sweat, rice crackers, and so on! After that--we eat! I welcome suggestions--I know of at least two or three good restaurants within walking distance that we can descend upon. :-D And after that ... who knows?

I know the International District is tough for parking--still, I hope a Sunday get-together will be easier for people driving in terms of free street parking and less traffic. I apologize to any bus-riders, since I know the busses don't run as often.

So bring yourself and any friends--shopping is more fun with others, after all! I'll be there outside the main entrance of Uwajimaya, holding a sign under the big metal dragon sculpture and making myself completely conspicuous so that people can find me!

If anyone else has any suggestions on where to go or things to do, let us know .... hopefully a fun time will be had by all!
