Portland Anime

How does one go about affixing a logo to a shirt? It's for a cosplay--I'm going as a Team Rocket agent from Pokémon and I need the giant red R all up ons.

And it needs to look professional, like a standard-issue uniform. And I'd like it if it didn't wear off after a few washings.

I...um...also need advice on styling a wig. It's a very basic style, just brushed over to the side, but I've never worked with a wig before and I hardly do anything to my *own* hair besides pull it back.

Kumoricon Summer Swing Dance

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:32:44 GMT

The information is up and registration is open for Kumoricon's Summer Swing Dance.

The Winter Formal back in February was alot of fun. This time there are going to be games in additional to just dancing.

Mon, 05 May 2008 02:33:45 GMT

So I'm going to an anime convention in two weeks and both my costumes are partially busted. Problems are that a, I can't sew, and b, one of them I think I'd need to wear while someone else sewed it up anyway.

Is there any way one of you could give me a hand with those? On the big one it's ripped seams in both legs (it's a jumpsuit), and the minor one has a rip on the fastener (it's a trenchcoat).

I'm looking to pay maybe 10$/hour, but it shouldn't take more than three hours to do both of them.

Hmm Milk Tea?

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 18:09:08 GMT

Ok, so I've been searchign for awhile, and I figured someone here might know. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a place where I could get strawberry milk tea juice boxes in the Clackamas area. Uwajimaya might carry it, but thats a lil far. =/ I miss my milk tea. /sob I'd also love to know if theres a place to get tayaki, but I think muh chances in that are slim. =o( Thanx for any help! ^_^

Ahaha, so I'm a moron.

There's a manga I've been obsessed with, Imai Yasue's Cinderella Collection, but I lost my copy of the second volume. I think I accidentally sold it to Powell's when I was clearing out the manga I no longer read. This was a while ago, probably, and I only just now noticed... Yesterday I went over to Powell's to see if it was still there, but alas, it's not. D: SO. If I did indeed sell it by accident, and the person who picked it up is by any slim chance in this community... I want it back. ^^;; I'm willing to pay a fair price for it, or trade you a copy of the first volume (I somehow have two of it, I don't know how this happened)... but I really really want it back DDD:

Warning: Blatant Pimpage Ahead

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:39:18 GMT

A while back I posted here looking for people to beta a new website that I am employed by, and the site has long since gone live (albeit still in "beta" mode). So I thought I'd pop in just to let y'all know: animeOnline is now officially the coolest anime news site out there. I know, because I write the majority of the content. Mwahaha.

That said, for those of you who favor not having to leave LiveJournal while still getting your constant stream of anime(/manga/J-pop/game/etc) news, we also have an LJ syndicated feed: animeonlinenews. And hey, our RSS feed no longer sucks! (It used to only show the title of the article, but now it also shows the content of the articles as well.) But here's fair warning - we post a LOT. ;)

So, there you have it. Give us a shot! ♥

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 21:45:05 GMT

All you cosplayers out there, where do you buy wigs? I need a short brunet wig for my JP costume (the boy in my icon), and tying my hair back and pinning it up just isn't cutting it. Also, how much should I expect to pay for a wig like that?

Upcoming Slants shows (Asian rock band)

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 05:40:28 GMT

The Slants, Portland's only Asian rock band is playing throughout July (including our first all ages show).

SHOW coming

Grab some friends and come say hi

Fri, 18 May 2007 08:50:11 GMT

Is anyone else going to Anime Evolution? I know it's a long way, but hey.

Eep: To answer a question,

Mon, 05 Mar 2007 05:21:06 GMT

Eep! I'm never in this forum anymore. To answer motorharp's question from November:

Our fall Japanese Film Series had good films but few people at that late hour.

However, Winter term days have rocked! We've hosted anime meetings twice a week (8 hr of anime!) to meet people's schedules, and have been showing more than a dozen different anime including two current in Japan at both meetings: DEATH NOTE and Naruto: SHIPPUUDEN!

We gather Tuesdays 3:30-8:30, ST 235 (Vandread, Ah My Goddess, Ouran HS Host Club, Mushishi + DN and N:S) and Wednesdays 2:30-5:30, SS 116, through March 14 (Wolf's Rain, Slayers, Jing King of Bandits, Fate Stay Night + DN and N:S).

In addition, we managed to pull together three special afternoon events!
(1) Japanese Popular Films (KAMIKAZE GIRLS and SAMURAI FICTION),
(2) Mamoru Oshii's GHOST IN THE SHELL and GitS 2: INNOCENCE, and
(3) Live Action Anime from Japanese TV (i.e. based on manga/anime) GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA and DEATH NOTE.

Spring term we'll continue regular viewing meetings, probably carrying on most of the anime we're watching now, but the special focus will be on SakuraCon rather than film showings. And classwork. Of course.

New Slants' song up!

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 02:17:55 GMT

My all-asian band, The Slants, posted another song tonight (We Will Never Die).

It's a demo version and still needs live drums/vocals, but it kinda gives you a general idea of what we're going for. More songs coming very soon and shows shortly after that, I promise!

JAPANESE FILM SERIES

Sat, 04 Nov 2006 00:24:14 GMT

So, I was going to go last night, but ended up tripping over a cord and sloshing boiling tea all over my hand, among many other clumsy things I did that day. I thought it would be better if I did not endanger others, or myself, by venturing out in public. How was the first showing?

Is "Read or Die" any good?

Fri, 27 Oct 2006 18:49:55 GMT

Someone just asked me if "Read or Die" is any good. I thought it might be fun to get some of your opinions instead of just giving mine. Whaddaya think of it?

Please tell us whether you are talking about the movie or TV series!

(I don't have a paid account so can't do a cool poll.)
