Kawaii-Kon--what should I bring?

Stan Sakai · Post by **Stan Sakai** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 6:26 -0700

Kawaii-Kon in Honolulu is next week. A few have already PM-ed requests, but I should still start the "what should I bring?" thread.

I sent the organizers a bunch of the Usagi/Ah, My Goddess flip posters which will be on the freebies table. I will bring a few copies of the 25th anniversary posters. If you do not see them on my table, ask me for one. I will stash some aside for Dojo members. I will also have those free Stan Sakai trading cards with a close-up of Usagi on one side, and my bio on the the other.

My schedule:

Friday
10-11 Opening Ceremonies
2-3 Drawing (I don't know what this is about) Rm 312

Saturday
10-11 Usagi panel

Sunday
10-11 Guest Artist Throwdown (?)
6-7 Closing Ceremonies

I will also have a table in the Dealers' Room. I am bringing some original drawings, and copies of Book 1. Let me know if you would like me to bring anything specific.

Hey Mr. Sakai. Other than the two commissioned pieces that we discussed (via PM), I was wondering if you could bring some of the Usagi Sketchbooks and prints to Kawaii-Kon. Also, could you put me down for one of the 25th anniversary posters?

Hey Mr. Sakai. My brothers just called me from Oahu to let me know about Kawaii-Kon. They attended the Usagi panel on Saturday and also got to meet you at your dealer stand. Thank you very much for signing some of our Usagi collection and giving us a 25th anniversary poster! We've been reading Usagi since elementary school and it was a real treat for them to meet you in person. I wish that I could have been there with them, but college life is incredibly busy right now. Anyway, thanks again and we hope that you'll be back in Hawaii soon!

Dang, I couldn't get out there. At the last minute, one of my minions told me he would be there Sunday, but alas he couldn't snag the few hardbacks I am missing. I will cross my fingers and hope you make it again next year. Hope you are enjoying your working vacation :-{D

I'm back from Hawaii. I had a terrific time there. The new convention center looks wonderful--very open and airy.

I had a lot of aloha from the fans there, and I ate a lot of ono food.
