My Friday morning's gonna be hectic, with possible hotel reservation issues, needing to pick up my badge, and rushing for merchandise.
I don't see any info on these in this thread yet, so here's some things going on Friday night:
At 9:30pm, the people who brought us Hello! Party are throwing another gathering called
Hello! Disco several blocks away at the House of Dereon Media Center (2204 Crawford Street):

But for those of you who don't feel like leaving the comforting confines of the convention, there's also a panel at 10pm covering the
history of Hello! Project:
http://animematsurix2016.sched.org/event/5wi7/all-for-one-one-for-all-a-history-of-hello-projectI just attended this panel at a local convention this past weekend, and the hosts, who have also done intro panels on visual kei and the general idol world, are pretty informative (although they tend to sidetrack easily
).
Also
WE NEED A GREEN OCEAN AT THE CONCERT! GET YOUR GLOWSTICKS AND KING BLADES PRIMED FOR GREEN! WE NEED TO GIVE ZUKKI ONE LAST HUGE SIGN OF SUPPORT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL FANBASE THAT LOVES HER!I also hear Miki will for sure be joining the rest of the girls in Houston; she obviously can't perform at the concert but there's really nothing stopping her from still showing up for other stuff. Nothing is set in stone, of course...although I can think of one girl who would be perfect to replace her if she still can't make it...
Is there anything you think American music can learn from MM's music?
I'm actually more interested in the opposite question: what can Momusu and H!P learn from western music...but that's just my own wishful thinking regarding genre exploration and tackling hip-hop/R&B-style songs for A-sides again.
