ive booked the Lilo warehouse for 10:30 tomorrow!!
the address is
342 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills. Suite 204 on the second floor
we would have a quick meet up at 10:00 at Central Station (infront of Easyway near Eddy avenue?? i guess that's the easiest for everyone??)
i would need to be at the studio by 10:30. so if you think u cant make it by 10:20, let me know. we would simply meet u at the studio.
the place shouldnt be that hard to get to!! heres a link for the map XD
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&cl
we are able to stay at the warehouse till 6pm. since we have more time, if u have any other costume (even other than Gintama) that u want to cosplay feel free to bring it!! ( but i do want to have a group shot of us all in Gintama outfit!!! XD
so yeh...im sorry if i was stressing u all out coz of the lack of organisation...>A<;;;;
and thanx heaps to straw, she has booked us a table at kasumi for dinner at 7pm!!! (so ravient mayb meet us there? or somewhere else?)
arh!!! cya all at Central or at the studio!!!!
and guys plz bring cash!!!! ill organise the payment for the hire at the space like last week.
yes!! finally the venue for the gintama bday event has decided!!!
as most know, ive searched, and called many places that we could possibly do this. (auburn garden was such a pain...i called them but they were very rude...-"- i dont wanna call them anymore...)
after i hear how hot Saturday is on the news, i have started looking at indoor studio space that we could use. (i hate heat...im sorry. heat + cosplay = death)
and i found this
http://www.lilowarehouse.com.au/lilo/Li
this is not a very....gintama like place...but its indoors, we could possibly get out from the heat (ive asked him on email if theres aircon...*cross fingers*) close to city (it says 1min walk from central! yay!) and yeh it looks awesome!!! :D
the deal is, its $300 + GST for the large room. (he said that the space is free during the day. he didnt specify the time...)
so far on the list theres 20 people. i would like to know who would still be interested in joining in!! (it would b $16.50 per person if its divided by 20people)
im sorry how this is not a free event again...but its so hard to find other places that we could cosplay in a large number of people in sydney for free... ;_; plz forgive ginchan...
ill put up more details when its decided....
ps
this is not a photography studio...(like the one for reborn event) i dont think theres backdrops or studio lights. so people who have speedlight could you plz bring it on the day??? thanx!!!
pps
for gintama fans. have u guys watched the SAW episode? (ive only briefly kno. but its when gintama parodies the SAW movie lol.) we were thinking of doing cosplays of that also...XDD think its ep 148, 149??? watch it wen u have time!!
plz check su's lj
http://lunarfish.livejournal.com/2936.ht
she has kindly organised a meet up at central station in the morning.
good luck for your journey. cya all at the studio!
i hired for 5 hrs, from 11a.m. till 4p.m.
she made us a nice deal too! its $300 in total. (but she wants us to pay in cash)
so people plz bring cash on the day!!!!
so far theres 17 confirmed. so its $17.60 per person.
also one more thing...
yuki have been hinting me very obviously (lol) that she wants the giant cupcake from the cupcake bakery for her birthday.
http://www.thecupcakebakery.com.au/
(its under maxi cupcake)
the giant cake is $55. i cannot force u all, but it would b great if everyone could chip in for it as well. (so mayb if every one could pay $21 in total?? )
PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO THE STUDIO:
Get off at bus stop 201926 Botany Road/Chelmsford Ave. Walk across to the other side of Botany Road
and walk down McFadyen Street and at the end turn left and that is Folkestone Parade. Its number 28 is an old
DIRECTIONS BY CAR TO THE STUDIO:
I would need to be there earlier than 11 to have a chat with the lady about the equipments. So i think it would be the best to meet u all at the studio. Theres a kitchen in the studio so i think it would b a good idea if we all bring food to share.
bday event on 21st is still being organised. ill post another entry with details laters.
im exhausted. stupid grad show. @A@
Gintama themed joint bday event (nad, ita, mine)
Location
if everyone is happy to travel...mayb at the Auburn Botanic Gardens?
theres a Japanese garden that might b nice for Gintama theme...
heres some link:
http://www.auburn.nsw.gov.au/page.aspx?i
http://ev.erything.com/auburn-botanic-ga
i havnt really planned for dinner either...what would everyone like to eat?
im kinda interested at this place. never been here tho XD apparently theres a room upstairs thats good for parties.
http://samuraidining.com/index.html
but coz they r located in Darlinghurst or Balmain, it might b annoying to travel from Auburn....do anyone know good places around there??
14th Nov
Reborn themed bday event (yukis)
me and yuki was discussing about the location for this too...we were saying how it would b cool if theres a place that looks semi-futuristic like the 10yrs later arc
we were saying mayb at darling hbr. the platform-ish area at the exhibition center. (but then we were also ranting how that area is a bit over used, slight chance of us getting kicked out, traumatised of wet weather (coz yuki calles herself the "rain girl") etc
i then suggested her if we could possibly hire a studio....
this is the place ive wanted to use since like...the start of the year lol
http://www.globalsanctuary.biz/page6/pag
if everyone is happy for chipping in for the fee, traveling to there, happy with the studio itself lol, and if theres still a vacancy with the studio, we could possibly use it for our reborn photoshoot!
i did a calculation to get the approx cost per person.
its $65 per hr + 10% saturday surcharge + GST. last time i contacted them they told me theres student discount (10%)
so say if we hired for 5hrs, and if all of us (20people) could chip in it would b less than $20 per person. ($17.85) (am i correct?? LOL)
so yeh it would b great to get response from u guys asap so i could start giving calls to studios and restaurants etc XD
ps
for people who likes to drink and go clubbing keep the night of 28th free!!! (≧▽≦)人(≧▽≦)ノ

okay for the dinner on 22nd nov (sat) is at JUJU!!!
I gave a call to Juju today to cancel our reservation (cos there was only seats available for 12 people max), but then the dude told me that there was another cancellation and so theres space for 15-16 people!!! woohoo
I chose Juju instead of Kasumi since Ive never been there before, and wanted to see the izakaya style place. (so im sorry for the people who wanted to go to Kasumi. We could go there next time ;)
So here are the details:
Juju
居酒屋ジュジュ
Shop 320, Kingsgate Shopping Centre, Cnr Darlinghurst & Bayswater Rds., Kings Cross NSW 2011
93577100
Time: 7:00~
For people who dont know where the place is, (and doesnt want to get lost in the cross...) We could all meet up at Town Hall Steps at 6:30 and then we would all go together to the restaurant.
AWESOME!!!! see you all tomoz!!!! ;) *excitement*
People coming:
Suri's sister
UPDATE ON DINNER THING ON THIS SAT NIGHT
I called Wagaya today, but unfortunately it is fully booked. The room would only be available from 10:30. ;_; mayb next time then!!! (unless we go there after for the drinks lol)
So i decided to call other restaurants in City.
First place I called is JUJU
Ive never been but I hear good stuff. The interior looks like a typical Japanese Izakaya, you take off shoes before you enter! (so make sure u wont wear sox with a hole LOL)
Juju

Its near the big coke sign. We could all meet up before?? perhaps at Townhall steps???
The only problem with this is that they only had room for 10. They said it would fit up to 12 if we squish. So far on the list theres 11 people attending for sure.

http://web.jams.tv/kasumi/view/id-9663 Japanese site but it has pretty pictures of the place. on the right, it shows what menu they have!
BOTH of the places are being reserved under my name at the moment. I feel like a total bitch taking up all the space. >_> ill need to cancel either one.
So ill need help from you guys.
I really need to know how many of you are attending this awesome night A.S.A.P!!!!!!

So what we are planning to do to celebrate our extra, super, marvellous, special bday is to have a dinner out on the night of 22nd Nov (Saturday)
I know its kiiiiinda soon but it would be great to see most of you guys!
Venue : Wagaya Japanese Restaurant
Level 1, 78-86 Harbour St
Haymarket NSW 2000
9212 6068
Time: 7p.m.
Ive been to this place before and I had a great time. Had awesome fun using the touch screen operating system at the desk. Many cute drinks both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. It was about $25 (which includes drink that was $9?) per person that time.
I would like to know approximately how many people would be attending A.S.A.P. so that i could reserve our seats.
I remember seeing special Japanese rooms at the place too...but I'll need to check how much it would cost (plus if its available on that night too.) The comment on this page says it was $30 for the room. But they didnt seem to enjoy it...>_> http://www.eatability.com.au/au/sydney/w
They dont seem to have their own website....but I found a Japanese site that talks about them. http://www.cheers.com.au/contents/eat/sp
Gundam00 photoshoot people are to be confirmed
