Who is going to the Akiyume Matsuri festival on Sunday and what are you wearing?
Greetings all,
Ani-magic will be having a Autumn Festival/Akiyume festival on sunday and I'm wondering who is going to show up and what you will be wearing? If I recall correctly Revell said that there would be little booths with Japanese-style games and snacks... but don't quote me on that. I'll be wearing my new yukata and I still need an under kimono tabi and zori but I should be getting those by September From, Joe |

if you're wearing a yukata generally you just wear geta (those wooden shoes that have the 2 teeth on the bottom) and no tabi. I think they'd consider it bad taste or something. Unless it's a kimono then the zori and tabi are right for it.
If I go I'd probably wear my yukata and some geta. Miaka no Baka |

Michi and Sana-chan - You two should get a couple nice kimono's... they would look so nice on you. They would certinly flatter you both. 2 stunningly cute young ladies in a cute kimono would draw a lot of attention.
I'd get one if I were you two. FRom, Joe |

Oh I'd love to wear one.. I just dunno if I'd have the money before the con to get a nice one. ^_^; Maybe if I do my elaborate Mai for AM, I can wear that, but I doubt it. @_x

Annouu... maybe I can kill two birds with one stone if I got a kimono to use both as my Kamatari one for next year and for this festival thingy.
The big question is, just like what Michi-chan said, is how much would it cost?

if you want a decent yukata this company was at AX: http://www.risingsunimports.com/ quality isn't top notch but they are nice.
This is the one I got: http://www.risingsunimports.com/detail.php?itemid=2855 they had a big sale a week ago... I got mine for 25 bucks off... but at AX the same one was only 90 bucks. The really nice Japanese ones can cost about 300 bucks going cheap. FRom, Joe |

yukata shouldn't be that expensive. All they are is cotton. You can find some for 30 bucks or so on ebay just search for yukata. There's a store here in maui that's japanese and they've got a small selection of yukata and their most expensive one is 90 or 120 i think. As far as obi go, you can get a pre-tied obi bow for cheap on ebay too. or even a simple yukata obi for cheap. I paid 54.50 total for my yukata and my obi (pre-tied yellow and red bow) and that included the shipping from japan to here. =D just look around.

I sold my old yukata on ebay, but if i happen to get a new one, then I'll wear it, otherwise, zilcho.
But yeah, Ebay is a great place to find it pretty cheap. |

I was not aware of this......
After Miaka no Baka posted links on the ebay thread. I *wondered* over and looked the yukatas I'm getting the pink flower one. I'm hoping I can attend this. Since I didn't think anything was going on, on Sunday I was planning to drive to Disneyland.

Well I"ll definitely be there, since I'm leaving Monday as well ^^. I don't have any spare money to get a Yukata, so I'll probably just be wearing my Tsukushi outfit.
