^ werd up holmes, what time you getting in alo? lol yeah. buy all the CDs and Photos at the Sakura Con cuz that's where you get your autograph tickets

THANKS GUYS! Keep dem messages coming

I'm thinking of some message for them, or like a Red Cross cheque, would that be too pompous? I dunno. Just wanna show that extra appreciation we have for them coming out despite these unbelievable circumstances the Japanese nation is in.

Which booth for Hangry and Angry did you get the autograph tickets? The Japan Files booth our the booth they had there?
I know if you buy autograph tickets you can get into the priority line, right?
And if you don't have them, you can go into the general admission line?
I'm not planning on getting autographs, but I'll still try for them.

For H&A I remember having to buy anything at the Japanfiles booth. I think it was like buy a certain dollar amount of goods per autograph ticket. Not sure if that's the case this time. Yes, if you get autograph ticket you get first dibs at signing. If it's anything like the H&A signing you can probably get away with going 2 or 3 times over (like I did) without any issue and get lots of stuff signed.

Again no guarantees on that.

This year the booths are #'s 610, 612, 711. I plan to attempt to clean them all out.

I would be good for a ball game, never been to a live one so it would be interesting to see how it differs from TV. Anyway, found my Miya gift:

Might just raid the Oilers shop for simple (a.k.a. cheaper) gifts for the other members. Unless someone is willing to make a sock puppet for Risako & save me some cash.

Message

I have no particular message that I can think of for the group other than thank you for coming over & please come to Canada one day.

Very nice, Ops!

Isn't the sock puppet just a sock w/ buttons for eyes...or am I TOTALLY missing something.

Any idea when ya coming in to Seattle,Ops.

Hmm, the autograph tickets might be like MM at AX09, they have some at the Japanfiles booth & they have some at the HP Goods Booth.

Dai, I will be in Seattle by at least 9:00am on the 21. Any idea about what you gonna do because the KMF is the week after?

You're not missing anything. Think the sock puppet wouldn't go over well without a lengthy explanation of Risako's nickname. That would just hold up the line.

I'll arrive in Seattle on the 21st at noon. Plenty of time to do pre-reg & all that I think.

I can't pick up my badge till Friday.

I'm getting up at 5 and should be in line at around 7.

You think I'll be okay?

I'm expecting at the MOST a 3 hour wait.

For food I'm just gonna make a sandwich the day before and eat it with some snack and I know there's a Tully's on the 4th floor, right?

For those who have pick up their badges on Friday at Sakura-Con before... how long was the wait?

That's 7 AM? If you can get into the line up early maybe an hour long wait or less? If you get stuck in the middle or at the end 3 hrs sounds about right. In that case bring a fully charged gaming system/phone/tablet & food to help kill the time.

Ah I'm glad to hear about the merchandise being available! Gonna have to find out when the booths open so I can make sure to get there for a Berryz 7 PB... That's really the thing I want to take to get signed.

I suppose I should check the schedule for everything actually

Thanks much Rick. Gonna put that all into my phone now.

I have to pick up my badges on Friday. If I get in line at around 7, how long do you think I'll have to wait. Will it most likely be over 3 hours?

TheBlackCatsLuck · « **Reply #93 on:** March 25, 2011, 09:06:03 AM »

I missed PreReg due to being not being sure if I was going. As long as my passport troubles are sorted out, I'll be going.

So the way I read this a person with lots of money or a group of people
with pooled money could go to a merch booth & buy an entire box of CD's for a shot at the banner. In theory of course.

Something to think about...

PM me which of your past artwork you want included, I wanna shock!!

I plan like a duo-page per Berryz when inserting messages. Think I got enough JPH!P T-shirts in stock (3 Medium unisex, 4 ladies small, "berryz" colored) for them.

DOPE RICK props for the heads up. hmm, Q&A first eh? I got a few questions that'll throw em off

BUT YO! HiPstaz throw in some questions you want asked and I'll do it up.

NOICE OPS! 1 over Paajarvi!! Reppin da Oilers old school. what size did you get?

aww SakuraTheShadow. well if it's 7 am shouldn't be too bad. There's also a Subway? My homie Za_Wolf got in on a Friday and was in line for 6 hrs and missed the afternoon autograph session. :/

no doubt rokun. I'd probably go for one of these big booklets and a bunch of photos so I can hook peeps up who couldn't make it

also, you got your accomodations set? Me and BigFreaky still looking for room

IT BE FUN! we gonna handle this the way dinny trained us. WE MAKE U PROUD GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL!!

daigong · « **Reply #98 on:** March 31, 2011, 06:29:10 AM »

FUCK YES. Hotel booked. I'm a be at Sheraton with The Freaky and Taiwan wotas lol

who down for some $18 M's game? It's Ichiro vs Godzilla!

The next-best value for your view dollar comes in the View Box seats ($25 single game). You’re only a couple of rows off the top-deck rail, so you’re significantly above the action, but you’re not really that far back at all. These are really good deals between first-and-third (~section 321 all the way across to ~339).

Keeping going from there: close tickets in the View Reserved section at $18 and the View Box seats further down the line are both equally good.

and here's my message, probably put it in the back

Dear Berryz:

Thank you for coming to Sakura-Con (c) 2011 in Seattle! Hope you went to get some Starbucks Coffee and seafood!

Inside are messages and artwork from your fans from around the world, hoping to see you perform at a city near them soon! We are JPHiP.com, a website for overseas fans of Hello! Project.

We are very thankful that you are here to entertain us despite what happened on March 11 Earthquake and Tsunami. Our hearts and prayers are with you and Japan.

Your music helps bring the world closer together with events like Sakura-Con. Please enjoy!
