I dont post there very ofter, but when I do, I post under the screen name of usagigoya. Today was the first time in a month or two that I even stopped in at the CBR forum. Once in a while I post a reply to a Usagi topic or occassionally even start one, I only have a post count of about 30 there.

I have been a member over there since 2004 (just before the most recent big crash) I started out at the Hellboy forum which was my introduction to all things forum and posting related, and stayed put for years. I do visit the community forum sporadically - mostly Rita's just to chat. There are some great Usagi fans over there - A couple of the guys were instrumental in getting Gary and I started on our current Usagi oddessy. Check out my art thread if you want to see what I make

Wow. I was thoroughly enjoying your fresh and dream-stimulating art before I even realized it was glasswork. I went through about five pages, and I intend to check out the rest. Exceptional!

By the way, I'm shaxper over at CBR (could you guess?). I post a lot, but usually just because I ran out of things to say at the Dojo

Thanks man! I guess that's why your username sounds familiar! What forum do you hang out in? - indies?

oops I think we're derailing this thread

Yes I'm looking forward to meeting you guys. So Saturday at three still stands - kool!

Nope. I do my Usagi talk here, and I don't passionately follow any other indie titles. You'll usually find me hanging around Classic Comics and the DC boards.

oops I think we're derailing this thread

and I would agree

Yes I'm looking forward to meeting you guys. So Saturday at three still stands - kool!

Cool. So what are we doing when we meet up at 3? Are we all still meeting up for dinner too?

well I guess we introduce ourselves and stuff... take a few piccies... chat - stuff like that (buy tons of stuff from Stan)

Are we all still meeting up for dinner too?

Sounds like the dinner list so far includes:
Morna-san & husband (Gary)
Shaxper & wife (Kiera)
David Petersen
Stan Sakai
Myself & nephew (Nick) - finally confirmed that my nephew can go
MikeM & wife ( ? ) - still pending final confirmation

Looking like a perfectly sized group for a hibachi style table, if I remember correctly how big they are.

Dinner will probably include more pictures, more chatting, more stuff like that, (no pestering Stan and David mercilessly), etc.

Has everyone checked out the web-site for Benihana's?

Benihana's is fantastic! I've eaten there quite a few times.

I just hope we get one of the more skilled chefs there. You can tell how advanced the chef is by the color hat he wears. I can't remember what the highest hat is, but I believe that blue was for "new guy"

Petersen · Post by **Petersen** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 20:47 -0700

I beleive my good friend Jeremy Bastian (www.jeremybastian.com) and his girlfriend will be joining us as well!

Fanfan · Post by **Fanfan** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 5:36 -0700

Enjoy your time ! and take some photos for the unlucky guys we are... (you know how we can be curious...)

Dude, I would love to have made it. I wish the timing was better, cuz I would have. The last time we did a real Dojo Dinner Party was way back in 2000 at Fanime Con. San Diego simply doesn't allow Stan the opportunity to do something cool like that.

Damn, that's a nice cover to own. Congrats.

MikeM

I was trying to be secretive, but it's OK now! Yes I am going to pick this amazing gorgeous piece up at MCCC. I am just so excited. It's my favorite cover in the whole roster of wonderful Stan covers. I like a lot of them but this one really speaks to me.
PS Glad you can (hopefully) make it to the dinner now Mike
