SMASH! Anime Convention [Maid CAFE apps are OPEN]

[Afa ◕‿◕]

ie, 30mins into the convention
"sorry, were booked out.. completely!"

[Noless]

i see Arthur's scenario happening, since it was pretty popular last time,

incidentally i dont think i would be going to the cafe this year, to be honest im slightly put off by the concept of this "service" though perhaps its the connotations that come with the word "service" that i find most offputting. thats my 2 cents anyway, (not that you actually care what i think anyway lydia )

[PenPen-kun]

yup, i can see that happening too.

the thing that concerns me regarding that idea is that town hall indoors is not really a suitable atmosphere for maid cafe from experience from animania ages ago. its dark and dank, almost like a costume party in a basement garage. a cafe should have a good natural lighting, a refreshing  scenery and a very soothing atmosphere, all of which does not exist inside town hall. maybe the roof at dawn, but haven't tried that yet.

the other concern is that if you do package method, you are practically limiting the number of customers you can have in one go. that to me sounded almost like a spell to make the line big. if you want to do this, i would say your idea of doing the restaurant reservation method and ticket them with a timed reservation is most definitely a good system. however it kinda limit the number of people that can try it in general doesnt it? it should prove interesting though, having a private maid for a few minutes. if ppl can get a ticket...

ps. is it outdoors or indoors? i do not know whether i will go or not. it may depend on how many people i know that can drag me into the event will be going. that or if there is something i want i can't get elsewhere... like a domo kun speaker, a giant penpen plushie or a maid costume version Lydia happily serving customers. =P (i wonder if i tease her enough to wear maid costume that she'd eventually do it to shut me up.)

hmmm, i still wonder if i should go or not. i haven't found a good enough reason to go to smash yet. speaking of which, why are you only behind the scenes person? i thought you like dressing up in costumes...? btw, i'm rather slow today but did you just call me otaku?

i dont wanna be entertaining otakus.....................

@ Aether: i hate town hall because its dark, its dank, its old and smells like moldy carpet, i hate animania at carriageworks more, it is at too big a place and its expensive to get in... i want a cake... i made my tiramisu way too alcoholic today, got tipsy from it.

[Tyella]

yay feedback!!!! -happy-

and im not calling anyone an otaku...

idk......i don think it will be booked out....thats why im asking around to see the general concensus? but sankyuuuuuuu -happy-
i think the room we'll be in is next to the courtyard tho....so lightning should be too much a problem...altho i dont wanna freeze on the day T-T

does townhall have heating btw? -only knows it has aircon-

[æther]

the massive amount of ppl would generate enough heat, warmth and stuffiness in the air xD

[PenPen-kun]

penguin huddle style? full of anime fans, huddling for warmth? that is just wrong...

imagine a bunch of ppl doing that in town hall for warmth.

[jeztronik]

Off-topic... how about... Zombie Maid Cafe?

@mrgazpacho: dude that is not right in every sense.

not only shes got the color and texture of gore wrong, and the fact shes got a rosy cheek. that looked nothing like how dead meat should look, or is capable of doing for that matter. I've dealt with some terrible looking wounds but that looks more like shes got some infection that i do not want to touch without gloves on.

its not hard to dress up to look like the dead, but that looked more like they got a perineal infection that migrated to the facial region.

Anyways, things I saw I could answer/respond to.

not going to ask on smash forums.....anything i post there is relfected? in smashs image or something and i;ll probably get told off or something for posting something like that

this year...there cant be any lines..something to do with townhall is squishy

You probably won't get told off. I'm just not sure what kind of response you get... >.>

I hated that place too, so I was really happy when Animania moved out of there.

When I found out that SMASH! was going to be at Town Hall, I was rather annoyed too...but then I found out that Town Hall had just spent the last year of so renovating/updating their building. When I ended up there to have a look at the location to plan our event properly, I was in awe.

You'd be surprised. I was too.

GOOD BYE STINKY, STUFFY, MOUNLDY TOWNHALL! >D

And Maid Cafe is in a great area for cafe setting this year - HEAPS of natural lighting. I just hope it doesn't rain...or be really cloudy... >.>
Can't say much about scenary though...but it can't be worse (or better) than UNSW Roundhouse. *lolz*

[PenPen-kun]

@ mai: what event are you running? are you in maid cafe too???

ps. i hate roundhouse. it smells like what pubs smells like, puke and urine. i really do wish they clean that place up.
