Will anybody videotape the panel for the rest of us and put it up on Youtube?
I'll have a camera and I'll try as best I can. Don't know if it's really allowed or not.
It will probably be a One Piece Podcast exclusive thing.

These days, I am not suprised…
SWEEET NEWS. I am a seattle-lite. I will be there. Meeting Kappei last year was awesome. :)
WAIT, Luffy's Voice is from a Woman?? :blink:.

You sure don't know about this.? :blink:

Your world…it has been rocked.
! Goku's Japanese voice was also from a woman.
Ah, fuck, a month away.
I need to finish this blankie, and then start on secret mission: somehow get my niece to cosplay and look fucking adorable doing it.

Any idea on what as?
Take one guess.
@dirt:
She's 5, and I'm gonna crochet her Luffy's hat. Should be done before Sakura-con for her to wear.
Woohoo! First we get Kappei Yamaguchi, and now this! I'm totally gonna get my POP bases signed.
And I'll be going as female Ivankov, and my fiancee will be Kuma! I'll see all you lucky suckers there!
@dirt:
Take one guess.
Lol, put red body paint on her so she'd be in Gear Second.
Mayumi Tanaka Q&A (Panel 2, Room 608-609) – Saturday @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Mayumi Tanaka Autograph Session (Autographs, Room 4B) -- Sunday @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
oh, good, I was worried about which day that would be
Did you tell your niece Mayumi's an OLD lady?
I've yet to tell her mother that I'm kidnapping her for the day and forcing her to go trick or treating without the added bonus of candy.
Well, if you go on Sunday, she'll get something better than candy.
That is, if you're both willing to wait in line.
That's my plan. I'm hoping that I have no interviews that day - if they do give me any, that is.
On top of the hat (and possibly a vest), I'm gonna fold up a blank piece of paper to put behind the ribbon for her to sign.
You know…it's obviously not the same thing, but have you thought about visiting the artist alley to get something signed? Obviously, it's technically "bootleg" merchandise, but you can frame it for her as a nice keepsake, and you'd support local artists with their work.
And though he isn't local, I think e1n might actually attend.
If he's attending, I'd definitely stop by to see what he's got on sale. I just want to see her reaction to a little five-year old with a Luffy hat on with Ace's "Vivre Card" in it.
Wait, she's not five yet, that's … in five days.
must finish hat on time
With the first three episodes of the Dragon Ball Kai dub premiering at Sakura Con I have to wonder if someone will tell Tanaka to check it out. :p
it better not turn out like it did two years ago
Their One Piece dub was supposed to premiere then too, but someone lost the DVD set or something, so we were stuck with their Movie 8 dub instead.
And then I had to go through every One Piece fan's worst fear of APOLOGIZING TO MY FRIENDS ABOUT IT.
Gah, at least you got to go. It's still not looking like I'll be able to go, unless a miracle happens…
Sorry guys, forgot to mention that she has another panel right before her personal Q&A panel–
The Music Behind the Anime with Mayumi Tanaka and Brina Palencia-Saturday, Panels 4 (407) @ 2:30-3:30pm
While I'd like to go, I don't know how big the rooms are or the general attendance record of the convention, so I'd rather just meet up with AP people before her panel and wait in line. Would be awesome to get a bunch of OP fans together near the front.
@Yuugi's:

Are you still worrying about travel options or something? You're further down south, right? Maybe you could crash in my basement - I'm up near Kent which is only 40-50 minutes away.

I wasn't at the opening last year, but the year before they said there were an estimated 14,000 people coming that year. There were more last year since they used more of the convention center instead of just one side, and from the maps, they're using about the same amount of space again.
Yeah, travel is probably my biggest worry (and I'm not too sure if I'd be running up and down the state for the whole weekend). It's an incredible offer on your part, but I'd hate to put you out.
So very, very, tempted to take you up on it, though.
Put me out? I don't live in the basement.
@dirt:

I wasn't meaning to imply you did, but it'd still be incredibly generous. Espicially if the thing is insulated. :blink:
It's usually cooler down there, but we have a good heating system, and the couch is giant and comfy.
In fact, wasn't Sketch and Demon Rin coming? Where are they stationed?

I'm coming from Arizona, and I'm only able to go because my Friend Laura is offering to put me up, she wants to come to the con too, so here fiancee is probably gonna give us a ride.
I don't know what the exact plan is though, I should e-mail her again.
Maybe we should all chat on Skype sometime soon … It is fast approaching.
Shit, I might have to change my days. I definitely wanna get her autograph but I was planning on Friday-Saturday.. guess we'll see. Ichnob, are you staying in a hotel up here?

Sorry for the double post. Anyways, they have both small and large rooms at the trade&convention center. The one that Kappei did his Q&A in was enormous, and we might have filled about 1/3 of it. So I would assume they'd give her the same size room, and that it won't be that crowded during her panels. Kappei's signing had a huge line though (I think his Q&A was placed at a bad time in competition with something else. I can't remember.)
I'm down to wait in line for her signing though- I can't imagine this particular music panel will be anything special.
@dirt- Yeah, skype sounds good.
@dirt:

Said program name's on my profile if/when you wanna throw one together.
Sorry eerie. My GF has family still based in Seattle, so we're staying at her mom's place. Normally, anything outside LA warrants me getting a hotel. But with a lot of financial problems along with other conventions and cosplay costs, I gotta cut corners since I can barely afford this trip as is. I'm just glad we have a free room and marginal driving expenses.
Good to hear about her panel situation, bad to hear about the autographs. I was hoping that I could fall in line twice for that because I have more than 1 thing I'd like to get her to sign, along with something a friend needs. =/ If I can get 1 autograph and 1 group photo with her and my friends, I'll be extremely happy.
Yeah, I've never tried to get an autograph before, but I have seen the lines, and lines for the bigger concerts or what have you can be horrific.
I was just curious what you were doing for board. No apologies needed.
Going by what they did for Kappei again, she'll probably just be sitting down signing autographs and there will be some one up there designated to take a picture for you. So you'll probably crowd around the front of the table while she sits/stands behind. Who knows, though.
@Thousand:
Oh my fucking God!!!
LUFFY!!!!!!!!!
GAH!!! Damn you lucky Americans.
+1 :(
…........................
This is amazing. For some reason I'm really surprised the Japanese VAs would go to an American convention, but hey, Kappei's already been apparently! You guys are very lucky and should take pics~
/slowpoke
So who is all coming to Sakura-con?
Not me, got Anime Boston the same weekend.
@dirt:
So who is all coming to Sakura-con?
Not sure if my costume is going to be finished, but I'm going.
I'm going. I don't think I'm going to join in the OP cosplay gathering, but I will be waiting in line a few hours before her panel on Saturday, and definitely waiting in line for her autograph signing. I'll be in the Usopp costume, with my profile picture hanging as my custom badge image.
Oh, shit, Ryo Horikawa (VEGETA) is coming now too.
I'll definitely be in line for autographs with a little Water 7 Nami, and an Unlimited Adventure Luffy. Maybe a Zoro too depending on whether I finish the Luffy costume in time.
@dirt:
Oh, shit, Ryo Horikawa
NO WAY.
NO.
I am going to die. Is it just a Q&A or something? When?
Awww, I'll be going but I'll only be able to attend on Sunday, so the best I can probably hope for is an autograph… ooooh I do hope some one records her Q&A panel I hate that I'm going to be landing in Seattle as her's is starting. I don't even have enough time to prepare a decent cosplay either, oh well.
falls over and dies
Washington….I can't get there....
NO WAY.
NO.
I am going to die. Is it just a Q&A or something? When?
The schedule hasn't been updated yet …
Alright, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an unlimited adventure luffy and a Usopp? Gotcha.
Seems that the Ryo Horikawa Q&A is on Sunday 11:00 am which … would bump into my plans at 12:00 to get autographs from Mayumi Tanaka. Damn it.

Well, dammit! My friend is going to be with me in the autograph line - maybe if you want to give her whatever you want signed, we can get it signed for you. You probably wanna see Ryo more than I do, anyway.
