Heeeey

If you're under 35, you can try this hostel: http://www.aijparis.com/ which is reaaaaaaly cheap and you can book a private room (it will cost a little more)
If you're older or, in any case, are worried about ensuite bathrooms, shared rooms and such... well we're staying at the hotel Armstrong: http://armstrong-paris-hotel.com/ , which is near the Expo and is sufficiently clean There the rooms cost right now 80 eur. per night (double, that is 40 eur. per person).

Thanks elgie! We were only going to go for one day, but now we might just spend the entire weekend there *so excited* We found a couple of hostels that are really cheap and close to the event, so we're just making the final decisions now

Random question, assuming there will be an autograph session, what do you guys recommend bringing for them to sign?
I have all of Yossie's photobooks and Pucchi Moni/ Biyuuden/ MoMusu stuff but I heard that they only sign their names as "hangry" and "angry" so not sure if it would be worth it. I would love for them to sign my old school H!P stuff, I even have all of the Gatas "Sals" magazines , but I guess they will only be able to sign a couple of things

Having been through the autograph process in both Seattle and L.A., the biggest requirement that they emphasize is that it has to be official merchandise only. I think you're limited to one autograph (I didn't try more than that so someone else may have to pipe up on that but I only saw one in the few people I paid attention to.)

The other thing that they did in Seattle was have you purchase priority tickets (like a minimum of x amount, I think it was US $15 which was the price of the CD) but you can still get in line and wait longer without it. In LA you had to actually purchase an H&A CD to get an autograph ticket, which I believe sold out. Don't know what system they're going to do in CJE even though the official website promotes two autograph signing methods used at the Expo: lining up as early as possible and raffle draw (bad flashbacks on that last one for Sakura Con folks.) Of course, don't know what that ultimately means as the H&A method.

And yes, they're officially supposed to sign as H&A.

Supposed to... yes. But unless I'm going crazy, I thought I read fan reports from AX about Yossy signing stuff as Hitomi. KRISTIN!!! Didn't YOU write about having Yossy sign that old UFA pic and her actually putting her name on it? LOL

Linna2040 · « **Reply #164 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:32:35 AM »

Well, I was trying not to brag and/or raise hopes because that episode was extremely circumstantial. But I know others who have been successful, at least with Y at AX. Don't recall if I heard any real-name signage happening at Sakura Con, but they were brand new to the whole H&A persona then and the "rules" were still being defined.

But for those of you who didn't know that story, the link is http://pkristen.livejournal.com/6341.html to my lj page. (Hmmm. Methinks I should add this HH...)

Kimuuu · « **Reply #165 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:38:38 AM »

Ooh, by all means, go ahead.

I made a new CJE planning thread since the original one seemed to have died. *kicks hosting company*

I'm hoping the rules will be lax in Paris. SO jealous of people who were able to get pictures WITH Yossy! I HATE YOU.

j/k

Sort of.

lol hey!! dun worry, I'm a Rika fan more

I still

you Kimmy

!! super-vitaminized pop-rock concert! LMAO y'all gonna be growing 10 inches from all the mad jumping!! FUCK!!

That's true, rev2hd aka Dinny brought her GATAS jersey and they still signed H&A lol. I'd say get some photos, slip in some goods underneath. They really really admire and take notice what the fans have, even my free H&A poster they were like "Rockstar Energy drink Yum!" LOL

We gotta whip up some shit. I'm gonna commit to doing some stuff this week and next. How long did that package get sent, Kristen? Fuck, there's just not enough time to tweak the shirts...hmm.

Linna2040 · « **Reply #167 on:** October 07, 2009, 06:09:58 PM »

Big Announcement, Folks: JPH!P GOT PRESS ACCESS!!!!
It was a team of at least half a dozen people across three countries (and three languages) to put together the proposal that was approved.

I just HAD to brag because I'm very proud of everyone!

Don't yet know what extra information we'll be able to provide until we get there, but expect some good stuff!

I definitely concur. My experiences were all about seeing their reaction, regardless of what they sign. (Though the last bit is a very nice to have in my mind.) After all, the point is for them to see their fans, as well as an opportunity for you to meet them and show your support.

Dude, how many t-shirts are you planning to send me? Now that I have to go press-mode, I may have to double my wardrobe on a couple of days. My suitcase spaces is getting tight.

Mmm I'll probably just stick with my H&A cd, I don't really want to travel with too much stuff anyway. I hope its just a line up and not a raffle draw :/ Thanks for the info

OMG How exciting!
Damn I wish I could go *cries*. I should really avoid this thread in order not to get too upset

But then again I want to know all the details =P.
But a BIG CONGRATS to you guys!! JPH!P gets to represent yet once again!!!

Are you guys allow to videotape? You're going to get to interview them right?
I wonder when the schedule is coming out too.

As for the autographs, I think what matters is that they signed it right in front of you and that you get to see them face to face. That experience alone is satisfying. But it doesnt hurt to ask for their real signature =D. Oh and dont forget to shake their hands <3.

Linna2040 · « **Reply #171 on:** October 08, 2009, 04:44:40 AM »

Current press status (that we can make public right now -- yes, sneaky stuff is still in the works that I'll announce later. TEASER!!!)

As for the actual interview itself, we do not have it confirmed yet that we have a one on one interview with them. That confirmation is in process. We may not know for certain until we get there. But we want to put in the request as soon as possible so they know we're serious. At the least, we know if they hold general press conferences and other things that require special press access, we should be able to attend and give a report out on it.

For other people who'd like to come in as press, unfortunately, I'm going to have to say 'no'. Our request was based on being as professional as possible -- two of the three person team actually have official media affiliations so we could beef up our credibility that we're not only drooling fans (and yes, that includes me -- I really do have a press pass with a magazine). There are other things depending on our producing professional level coverage of them from this event, but I do believe in having as much fun as possible if we're able to have a sit down with them.

(Those of you who didn't know, there were experiences of fansites being turned down for direct interviews with MM at AX and we did not want to have the same experience happen here.)

And wow, I do believe I'm eating my own words and happily so:

You know, I really wasn't planning to do a con report. (Unless there's something magical that happens -- and I honestly don't think I can top my Y at AX story.)

No, this thread would be the "CJE" thread, if you will. I was talking about the CJE planning thread at HH.

H!O's Puppetmaster posted this on their board today that was apparently a direct response from CJE:
"The whole schedule of the artists will be online this Friday.
The Hangry&Angry concert is on Saturday and the autographsessions on Saturday and Sunday."

Yatta! Now I don't need to be afraid of missing those

congrats for the press pass!!!

as far as i know (which is derived from some soft evidence from SC), you can take footage but be subtle... like just put the cam on the table as if it's just lying there... when in fact... you are capturing the awesomeness...

but it's cool to have all sorts of hidden gadgets in case...

after this tour thing, we'll all be as equipped as FBI agents

or maybe like CIA

... don't forget to namedrop all of us here

IKR? I'll be like, so yeah, any plans/desire to tour the rest of Asia and abroad? Philippines? Thailand? Australia?

Might have to take a trip to the spy shop in DC...

So it seems CJE has started to post a couple of pages that look like schedules of things that H&A are listed on. I won't bother with translation tools, I'll let our bilingual folks explain them.
