FIRST ever SPACE USAGI t-shirt

Post by go »

From Stan Sakai Facebook, Nov. 4:
"Our FIRST ever SPACE USAGI t-shirt will be featured at the Little Tokyo Street Fair on Saturday, November 13th in Los Angeles, CA!
Kiosk Boys will be offering a Special Edition series, so follow them on IG @KIOSKBOYS for more information on this collaboration!"

Are any UY Dojo members going?
If so I would be interested in an xxl if possible please.
Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.
Unfortunately I am currently unable to travel.
Best wishes to all.

I am going to see my sister that weekend to start the process of emptying our parents home. If I have time, I will make a stop on my way down. But if not, they should be available online, like Son said. Go, if I make it, I’ll pick you up one. I’ll let you know, either way. Peace, maka

Dear Maka,
Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness.
In the past these very small print run shirts have been bought up by scalpers as soon as they hit their web store.
Please do not go out of your way for me.
I was just hoping someone might already be going.
I think it would be cool to have a Space Usagi shirt, but i have too many Usagi shirts anyway.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Best wishes, as all ways, go

ps i wonder if Stan will ever do something like David Petersen does?:

Hey maka,

I wouldn't mind an XL (Limited Edition) $40 if you're picking up for the group. I understand if you don't want to though.

I can always try online.

Gaffey and Go, if I am able, I’ll pick you up shirts in your size. Alan on the FB group is also on the list. I’ll let you know if I make it and am successful in getting your shirts. Peace, maka

Cool! I have a feeling the Sakai Signature (Limited Edition) are going to be hard to get. Maybe they'll hold some back for the online release.

I left Santa Barbara about 9:30 AM this morning. I got to Little Tokyo around 11:30. Grusagi got there before 11 and pick up shirts for Jabba and him. They had a three shirt limit and only one signature card per buyer. Grusagi parked on the street and because I was so late, we weren’t able to connect. I parked in a parking lot and had to Google where the KIOSK BOYS store was. When I got there I was wearing the latest Usagi Yojimbo limited edition long sleeve shirt (on a hot LA day. But I wanted to look legit 🤣) and my Usagi face mask. I told them I heard there was a three shirt limit. They confirmed that. So I said, "Feel free to say "no" and I will completely understand. But I'm from the Usagi Yojimbo Dojo and I came to buy t-shirts for some of our members who couldn't make it here today." They asked the owner, "He's from the dojo and wants to buy more than 3 shirts, that's okay right?" The owner said, "Yes, how many did you want to buy?" I said six and they approved the transaction. I got the second to the last print of the shirt design signed by Stan. I thanked them again and again for flexing the rules for us and took this photo.


Then I went to the Japanese grocery store and bought some sushi for my sister, mom, and me. I drove to see my mom with my sister. It was another great visit. We cleaned my parents garage for hour and then I started for home. I'm stopped in Oxnard for a break from driving. A good day.

I have shirts for:

Go
Gaffey
Miachan
Steve
Alan (from FB)

Send me your mailing addresses and I'll get them out to you in the future. You can pay me when they arrive.

It felt good to do something for the dojo again. It's been crazy for all of us. Hang in there good people.

Peace, maka
