Bariaburu Faita Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Time to plan when and where to meet at the Museum. Me and Hebime plan on getting on the first train and camping out to get our tickets for the seminar. We will set up a tarp and play some Macross Crusade. Feel free to join us esp if you have your own crusade deck. Unless you bring a Yu Yu Hakusho deck:p We will shun and hate those who bring Yu Yu Hakusho decks:) After that we will probably pass the time in DenDen town until the actual seminar starts in the afternoon. And finish the evening at Fire bomBAR. Let us know what time you can make it, and if you have somewhere else you would like to go. Quote
Hebime Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I'm sure arriving at first train is going to be ridiculously early, but what the hell. The cicadas can only make you so deaf. i will indeed be bringing a blue sheet to sit on, and a few crusade decks to pass the time. Would be happy to teach anyone one wants to learn (cause there will be plenty of time). It would be helpful to get a head count to let Okamoto-san know how many will be showing up at Fire BomBAR. Althought he only has a pretty standard bar food menu, it will probably suffice for dinner unless there is something specific anybody wants (i do suggest the ebi-yaki in DenDen for lunch though). I plan to order the Pineapple Salad, but I don't plan bleed out on Claudia's couch... Quote
Tochiro Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 At this stage I can confirm that there are three of us coming down from Tokyo, with three locals (incl. Hebime & bariaburu Faitaa) due to be there as well. The Tokyo gang wont arrive until 08:30 or so (catching the overnight bus down). FYI, the line in the morning is for a Tenjin autograph session. reservations for the talkshow (50 ppl) are separate and have to be booked in advance by calling the museum. I'm thinking merch - exhibit - signing - talkshow - Alto festival and then spending the evening at FirebomBAR. So Hebime if you are down to hang there will be a total of 6 of us dropping by the place. Quote
Tochiro Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 And so, we are 7. Two more and we will have a Fellowship :-) Quote
Hebime Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Nope, 6, you counted me twice Tochiro. Understandable given this is my first post in years. . Quote
Tochiro Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Nope, 6, you counted me twice Tochiro. Understandable given this is my first post in years. . You tricky little monkey you! Quote
*JackBurton* Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I was planning on taking the wife to Japan this winter but after seeing this, I think a solo trip is in order. Quote
Strumvogel Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Isn't winter too late? I thought this thing is over by the end of November. Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 When and where do we meet ? Depends on how early you can get there. We will be in line at the museum for tickets at 7am. Be roaming around DenDen town from 11am. Back at museum at 2pm for seminar. At fire bomBAR around 6pm. Please let us know when and where you can meet us and we will adjust our schedule to find you.

Vepariga Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Found some photos of some exhibits. So much awesome merch...I want one of those mugs. Edited July 26, 2013 by Vepariga Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Are you still in Osaka area? Would you be able to meet us tomorrow? Here's my pics of the museum Quote
Hebime Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 We will be in line at the museum for tickets at 7am. more like 6:20. I just got on the train. Guh, the trainnis air-conditioned but I'm already sweating. this is gonna be a loooong (but fuuuuuun) day. Quote
Tochiro Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Tenjin's talkshow had a very special guest - Shoji Kawamori himself! Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Tenjin's talkshow had a very special guest - Shoji Kawamori himself! That guy seems to have a habit of popping up when you least expect him. Edited July 27, 2013 by VF-15 Banshee Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 A fantastic time was had by all. Consisting of Me, Save, Tochiro, Gubaba, Hebime, Jefferson, and Dyna Gold. The museum was first, with the Hidetaka Tenjin talkshow and signing event blessed by the surprise appearance of Shoji Kawamori himself. For an hour he related surprisingly candid stories of recent and past events. Ever wonder why the original VF-1 is so small relative to contemporary fighter planes? What is the next Macross show going to be like? Will the next life size display model be a Regult? What does he think of the SDCC exclusive Jetfire? Where does Macross II fit in the overall Macross universe? These and many other questions were answered during the talk show. Tune in to a future speaker podcast to hear the answers. We also went to the Marui Alto event, which had some new Alto related merch, and gave many Osaka residents the chance to get left over merch from the various events from the last year, from Musiculture to Crossover live. Finally we went to Fire BomBAR for their Chie Kajiura birthday party event. Quote
Gubaba Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'm back in Tokyo after nearly 36 hours of nonstop darkness, weirdness, fun, Valks, music, Astro Boy, mysteriously missing fish 'n' chips, eyebrows, princesses, "To be fire," and general malaise and sleeplessness More later. For now, I'm crashing. Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wish you could have been there. The others got cold feet and failed to ask Kawamori any questions, I was the only one to ask from the Gaijin Butai. I am curious to what you would have asked. おおきに～。 Quote
sketchley Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wish I could've been there, too. Work... I think I would've tried to shake his hand or something. Maybe ask about lego or how he finds Kansai (I know, rather boring). Quote
Tochiro Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 So, who on earth is this 'Ishter' chick? Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Can't wait to hear about it in the next Speaker-Pod Cast. Quote
Tochiro Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks to Save's expert iPhone photography I made the front page of Kotaku! Lol http://kotaku.com/some-lucky-humans-got-to-sit-in-a-macross-cockpit-946089796 Quote

Strumvogel Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Tochiro is just going "...meh" to the missile storm behind him. Quote
coronadlux Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Awesome. I like the solitare game console. "Ishter" is from Macros II Quote
Tochiro Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Macross The Museum will have a special event on September 21: A talkshow and signing by Haruhiko Mikimoto. The talkshow will be MC'd by Hidetaka Tenjin. Much like the previous Shoji Kawamori talkshow, reservations can be made by calling The Tezuka Osamu Museum directly. Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Ok same plan as before. Everyone is invited to the early morning party. Macross The Museum will have a special event on September 21: A talkshow and signing by Haruhiko Mikimoto. The talkshow will be MC'd by Hidetaka Tenjin. Much like the previous Shoji Kawamori talkshow, reservations can be made by calling The Tezuka Osamu Museum directly. Quote
