Lale, I still vote you as our lead vocalist...

Ah, the 28th isn't looking too good for me... I'm taking next week Sunday off for the NAMM convention, then Feb.4-5 off for my buddy's wedding... Usually my boss is cool with me taking some weekends off, but I'm about to drop a bomb on him about my availability after Feb.15, so I have to be a top notch hard worker until after then...

So I am available on weekends after Feb.15... If everything works out right... But if the 28th is still on, I'll pick up an extra cheap drum set this week and send it up with Lale... or PARTY AT LALE'S!!!

^ haha don't tell me you're a friend of my brothers? He's getting married on the 4th. XD

I'm free on Thursdays and Saturday(if told a week in advance). The only Saturdays I can't hang out would be the next three.

hey sorry i havent been on for a while guys haha but yeah im definitely down to jam. weekends work well for me, so hopefully we can get something going soon :D and ive got all the bandscores so lemme know in advance what songs youd wanna play specifically so yeah.

also kinda last-minute lol but if anyone is free tonight and wanted to check out the red carpet premier for the new FMA movie, some of us were gonna go check it out. here's a link to the event details: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2011-12-27/funimation-announces-red-carpet-premiere-of-fullmetal-alchemist-the-sacred-star-of-milos

So...I was thinking that we could each post the names of songs that we really want to play or just log into the shoutbox one night and decide there. We can also let each other know what instruments we play. That I know of right now, we are still missing a vocalist....and a bassist, I think. If we have too many guitarists and no bassist, i'm willing to switch over to bass.

I really wanna go to this dude, I dont have my ticket yet because the site seem kinda odd at the moment of reviewing it, is anyone else going? o:

@koi: ill post later which songs I liek and wanna play n_n

@ Lale: eruh, you might be a few days late to that event, but never fear! I finished my flux capacitor so we can do that and relive the AM2 once, twice, and thrice over... HA HA!

other than there's, here's another event that I'll be attending on March 1st:

- LeetUp
- March 1st, Club Nokia Los Angeles
- $15-$20 for Early Bird or General Admission, $50 for VIP (I'm down for VIP!)
- A mash-up event of all things nerd related, hosted by Attack of the Show's Kevin Pereira; Covers gadgets, games, etc., and Candice Bailey!
http://leetup.com


@ Koi: Unless if your last name has been Nguyen all along, then high five on that! HA HA!

As far as song selection goes I like B-Side songs, so I'll throw in Yumemiru Koro..., Haruka (Acoustics), Emotion, or Play Boy P.II... Everybody Say Yeah!!! for the Mainstream selection...

*facepalm* I didnt check the date LOL, I thought I would have more time! D: very sad panda now, im down for leetup tho.

@ Lale: It's alright, I'm pretty much in the dark on a lot of things since I don't have a smartphone, but it's cool living like a caveman... HA HA!

But yeah, LeetUP is gunna be awesome! My sister will be my DD just in case I get hammered at the event... HA HA! It should be just like a mini E3 with tech/gadgets on the side, but I'm looking forward to seeing Felicia Day and the dudes from Epic Meal Time... Oh yes, their meals are epic!

And another heads up! My parents are flying out from LAX on Feb.18, so I should be in the area around noon? Or something like that, but I'll let everyone know exactly what time it is and we can chill out afterwards or something... Iced Earth, Warbringer and Symphony X are playing at Club Nokia that same night as well, so I might catch that show later... "Gotta love METAL!!!" \m/

So my event list for the next month or so:
02.18.12 - Symphony X at C.Nokia
03.01.12 - LeetUP at C.Nokia

^ I'm working on learning Emotion right now since its the easiest out of those(IMO).
lol. Most of the SCANDAL songs I know are A-sides.

Do you guys want to play SCANDAL's theme?

feb 18th seems pretty good so far.. hopefully i dont have a midterm or something on the monday haha. oh and just to give you guys the heads up, were definitely playing taikimi >:D

oh and yeah im down for scandal no theme

Zim, what instruments do you play?
I've seen your covers so I know that you play piano. XD

haha is that right

im pretty all-around so i can fill in since itll be hard to get us all together probably lol.. so guitar and drums, among others. i got a trumpet here i can bring if you guys wanna run some appletachi no dengon

^ Can you do vocals too? I can't. haha

Lale is willing to play Rhythm guitar and bigOeyez plays drums.
I can play either lead/rhythm guitar or bass...although I don't have a bass here. I can rent one or try to save up to buy one though.

haha well i can try i guess but only if lale backs me up! LOL
and yeah i was looking into buying bass at some point but with budokan coming up it wont be for a while haha but one day, so we can jam with a full band

I got your back LOL, do not fear

Also, what about this? http://www.animeconji.org/2012/archives/category/announcements anyone?

just a heads up, i'm going to go watch Nausicaa this saturday in hollywood. it looks like it's a 1 night showing on a new 35mm print. if anyone wants to meet up, i'll be there.

http://discoverlosangeles.com/event.html?event_id=297283

also, i'm 99% sure i'll be watching FMA at the Los Angeles Independent on sunday @ the 5PM showing. This is an open invite to SH-ers as well.

http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/217481

lastly, in regards to Lale's post above, there's Wondercon in Anaheim that same weekend (march 16-18)...
http://www.comic-con.org/wc/wc_reg.shtml

@ Pac: Nausicaa + 35mm = EPIC!!!... Uggh, I'm working 5am on Sunday so I gotta pass... It's gunna be sweet on 35mm though! Kinda makes you feel nostalgic when you think about it... 8->


@ Lale: Well, it looks like we won't be time jumping anytime soon then, you can catch the new FMA still!!! HA HA!!!... See, I told you you'd end up on vocals! Just rage out and turn SCANDAL's lyrics into grunge or something...

And Anime Conji, I'll see you afterwards... With a beer in hand!


@ Koi: Heh, I see my text from earlier was on point!... So yeah, Taylor Guitars is based in El Cajon so the drive to the factory isn't that far away... I think my bud's inlaws can give us a tour sometime, so I'll double check on that and see if I can find a "defective" bass for cheap...


@ ZimBob: I have my violin on hand! Haven't touched it for about a decade and I bet it's still tuned correctly also... HA! I should just throw on some guitar strings and turn it into a ukelele...

^ I don't think they sell electric bass guitars....do they? lol
I've had my eye on these for a while(links go to guitar center):
Modified Jazz bass
Modified Precision Bass
I just can't make up my mind though.

As for Anime Conji, I think I might go just to learn how to make Amigurumis. XD

for now i can just cover the bass part on the keyboard lol

@eyez yeeeah bring it! we can run some namida no regret haha


ALSO just a heads up, some of us were planning on going to universal studios again sometime in the near future and id love for this to be a huge event with as many of us as possible! were probably looking at a saturday, maybe february 11 or the saturday after that?

@Neil: jsyk my and Erich's Universal passes expire on the 12th so we wouldn't be able to go on the Saturday after that lol

thoseguiltyeyes wrote:@Neil: jsyk my and Erich's Universal passes expire on the 12th so we wouldn't be able to go on the Saturday after that lol

LOL 11th it is then

hahah sounds good

I'll ask for a day off that saturday and join you guys

Nice I'll make a FB event so all the details might be a little easier to plan out haha

@ Universal Studios: Heh, I ran this by Neil already but I have to pass... That'll be the final weekend I work for my job (*cross fingers*), so I'll be doing some OT and bringing down the house from the inside... HA HA! Going out in a blaze of glory!!!...

Unless if they manage to take it easy on me and let me out early that day, then I'm game to come meet you guys up mid-day... deal? Cool! I'll keep you guys posted as the date comes closer...
