We are not unreasonable or intolerant people. We are your neighbors and friends and relatives. We are completely normal people who live completely ordinary lives except for one thing --we cannot understand the attraction or value of sports. Don't misunderstand us -we believe in fitness and staying healthy. There's nothing wrong with a neighborhood softball game or shooting hoops in the driveway. But we think there is something wrong when people base their lives on the outcome of a game. We think there is something wrong when grown men collect baseball cards and are willing to pay for the opportunity to watch other people play and have fun. We think there's something wrong when people think we're unmanly or not a true patriot because we don't follow sports! And we especially think there's something wrong when our favorite show is interrupted for a *&@!^%$#@!! sporting event!!!

Why not buy online stuff?

Is this a "report in" thread on /jp/?

Really?

>/jp/
>Going out

>>6813479
Sweet. Someone in the same neighborhood!
But that's so vague, more details please!

>>6813488
I do. But the shipping and the long wait is annoying.
I enjoy the setting a day to travel out and the whole buying experience. It's fun.

>>6813504
>I enjoy the setting a day to travel out
Get out of /jp/

Don't bother with any nerd-oriented shops. Forbidden Planet seems to get their goods directly from AmiAmi, but have a pretty large manga selection and decent prices. Image Anime is horribly overpriced. Anime Castle in Queens sells bootlegs, apparently.

For manga and art books, Kinokuniya is decent, but slightly overpriced. Go there if you need any language books, but nothing more. Midtown Comics has a smaller selection of manga, but they have a pretty awesome rewards program (for every $100 spent, get $20 free).

Erm... Chinatown Fair Arcade has a Melty Blood: Actress Again machine. That's pretty much everything I can think of.

>>6813507
Can we not me assholes for once /jp/
What's wrong with that.

OP, check out Anime Castle in Flushing.

>>6813508
Thanks man.

Pretty sure there's a figure shop on 33rd or 34th St that doesn't horribly overprice, but I can't remember the name for the life of me.
I used to live in Brooklyn myself, but I moved back home.

I'm going back on the 23rd though. There's going to be a maid cafe show if you want to come.

Here's the address:
Amber Village 432 6th Avenue

It opens at 12. I went last month and it was a lot better than I had expected. Good inexpensive food, too.

>>6813518

>"Please, /jp/, wipe my ass for me"

Yeah, that calls for being an asshole, man.

I'm actually looking for keychains. I ordered a bag the other day that I wish to deck out.

Image related

>>6813508
If you don't go to Kinokuniya for anything else, have some of their tea upstairs. It's fantastic and the view is cute from there.

Also, last time I went to that arcade, the player 1 controls for Melty Blood were busted.

>>6813530
Anon's being fine. He's asking for help.
What's the big deal?

>>6813541
I adore Kinokuniya.
I bought some good curry-pan from there.

>>6813526

Not a problem.

If you ever visit Chinatown, also check out Ajisen Ramen on Mott (right next to the arcade). There are better, more expensive options in the city, but nothing beats having a bowl of noodles and beer before going to the arcade.

Plus, the entirely Chinese staff always greets you with a reluctant, broken "Irasshaimase!"

>>6813537
Is this who I think it is? Good morning.
If not sorry, don't mind me.

Bottom floor of Kinokuniya has a lot, but it's fairly overpriced.
You could always go here: http://www.strapya-world.com/
Might save you some money, but unfortunately a lot of their cuter stuff is sold out.

You're all forgetting Book Off and Elizabeth Center. Both in Manhattan.

>>6813550
That noodle bowl place is sick, dude! So good.

There's also a video game store close to the arcade that has a lot of Japanese titles. It's where I got Idolm@ster for PSP myself.

>>6813529
Wow!!! Brilliant!
Thank you for the info!

>>6813562
I'm going with a friend, see you there possibly and have fun!

>>6813529

Is Cosplay Idol Remi going to be there?

She tends to show up at those things. The way she tries so hard depresses me.

>>6813558
Oh. Tell us more, about these places. Please

>>6813554
Thanks so much. This site is great.

>>6813569
Yeah, she's going to be there.
Why is it depressing? Seeing her work so hard really brightens my day. She's very sweet.

I was kind of quiet/tired after dancing for a bit, so I standing at the back of the room while the music was playing, but she pulled me aside and we had our own silly little dance circle. She's a really awesome person, haha.

>>6813561

That's one block over. I like it, but prefer Video Games New York near Cooper Square. They also rape on prices, but tend to get rare items, do special orders, and have a pretty awesome staff.

>>6813584
*was standing
derp

>>>/soc/

Reported.

>>6813574

Book Off - used books and very low prices. Has a massive selection of manga. Referred to in Persona 3.

Elizabeth Center. Never been.

hot topic ^_^

>>6813611
Hmmm. Sounds golden.
Thanks.

Wow... Some of you go outside to buy things when you have the internet? Why?

Fuck you don't even have to leave the house to get groceries thanks to Amazon Fresh

>>6813635
It's fun to go /jp/ shopping.
Everything else.... not so much.

>>6813635
When I lived in New York, I had no friends. I'd go out by myself, have a smoke, window shop, and play a few games at the arcade. This was how I killed time.
I still ordered all of my figures online. Seeing them in person first is nice too, though.

>>6813635

I love the city since it's so easy to become anonymous. If you're a quiet shut-in, you're considered an ideal neighbor. Nobody gives you a second glace or consideration when you decide to go out. If you tip well, people treat you like a god. Everywhere else, you're judged horribly.

>>6813612
They see me trolling. They hating.

Kinokuniya. The one in the Palisade's mall recently closed down, but I live in the area of the Manhattan one anyway. Just a 15 minute ride on the D.

I actually work there.

Are they any other places beside the ones we've listed?

>>6813763

Are you the hipster-ish register guy that always chats in Japanese with the customers? The few times I've seen, they looked almost slightly taken aback.

>>6813789
I don't usually talk to customers unless they talk to me, and I don't usually talk to them in Japanese unless they specifically ask me something in Japanese, or are a Japanese customer that sounds like they're having a hard time (doesn't happen often).

I'd give more information, but I'd rather not have an anon coming in every day looking at the employees for the one dude that posts on /jp/.

>>6813822
I'm going to stalk you from now on.

>>6813822
What if we bring an adorable high school girl?

Kidding. Kidding.

What I have always longed to find in New York. Is a shop or a block or so that is a small tiny fraction of Akihabara. But it's New York right? Isn't there everything there?

I'm aiming for this kind of look.

>>6813872

No such place that I know of. Your best bet is Koreatown. Half of them pretend to be Japanese to Americans anyway.

>>6813912
Was my link no good, or what gives?

>>6813923
Your link was great. I've actually already ordered some stuff.

I just like to over-shop.

>>6813919
There's a Koreatown in New York?

>>6813855

I've always wanted to buy the Ore no Imouto light novels from Kinokuniya, but after the strange look I received after buying a copy of Shimada Fumikane Art Works, I decided to stick to buying textbooks.

>>6813949
They gave you strange looks? No way.

>>6813949
Dress up as a girl next time. They don't care when girls buy that stuff.

>>6813949
Doesn't Kinokuniya offer a thing where you can place an order online, and then just go pick it up.

>>6813949
They never give me strange looks, and I buy odd stuff there all the time.

>>6813940

It's small, but quite decent. Loads of bars, karaoke, restaurants, various shops, and R and T massage parlors.

>>6813966
What kind of "odd" stuff do they sell?
I've been there twice, only I guess.
I've just bought food.

>>6813957
I'm a girl high school senior. And he's right. They don't say anything to me. They're quite nice.

>>6813988
It's true. I bought okama's "Food Girls" from them and no one blinked an eye, so.

>>6813995
Except the Anime Castle guys.
They're kind of annoying. I don't like buying from them. They make comments on what I buy and it irritates me.

>>6814007
Never been. Guess I'm not missing anything.

I wish this thread had come up while I still lived in Brooklyn, sigh. I'd make a day trip tomorrow.

>>6813988
Former high school girl here.
When I used to have acquaintances and we went in a group no weird looks either. I miss the old location though, it was definitely cheaper.


To the anon who works there, are you the one that sent his resume in and posted about an interview about a year ago?
Any idea if they're hiring now?

If not, are you that black security guy that doesn't bother chasing shoplifters once they get out of the door? I've always felt thankful to that guy. ;_;

>>6814022
Sorry man.

>>6814007
And agreed, the AC guys are annoying.

>>6814027
Thankful because you've stolen?!
Ahahah
That security guys literally is good for nothing.

You know what I'm really dying for?
Panty and Stocking keychains

>>6814027
I said I don't give information, but I'm definitely not that guy. I haven't checked if there are any openings, but if you really wanna know it doesn't hurt to just ask.

Any places other than kinokuniya/bookoff that sell manga in Japanese? I've really just been going to kinokuniya for that stuff...

Does Strapya only sell phone charms?

>>6814055
Have you ever been inside that store? What is there for a poorfag to do? I've since mended my ways.

>>6814179
No. I understand.
I wish I had balls like you

>>6814131
No. They sell other things too.
Majority is phone charms.

Now: ITT: Where to buy hug pillows

>>6814122
Amazon.jp
But that's only really good if you're buying in a huge bulk order of at least 15-20 volumes to offset the initial shipping cost of 2700Y.

Former NYCfag here. This thread is making me terribly homesick.

>>6814388
Awww, I'm sorry /a/non.
Come back home to visit soon and you can check it out all of these places? :<

I just thought. We should make a map of all of these places.

>>6814337
Bed Bath and Beyond.

Seriously.

>>6814761
Yeah, this. It's where I got the pillow for mine. I had to fill the bottom with a bit of stuffing, because it doesn't quite fill the entire cover by itself, but it's definitely you're cheapest alternative. You'd think it'd be lumpy with the stuffing but it actually works perfectly if you do it correctly.

>>6814388
I feel you, I miss it a little bit too but I'm only an hour away on train so I don't mind that much.

>>6814477
I'd say we should all meet up and have some grand day trip, but I don't think anyone else would be up for that. Too bad.
Next time I'm going to be in the city is on the 23rd for the maid cafe, if anyone is interested, let me know. We'll work something out.

>>6814801
That sounds like a lot of fun actually.

>>6814801

I'll gladly meet up with you. I'm going to the maid cafe as well.
I know there's a big meetup already planned for it.

Also, finish your commission. You're slacking.

>>6814912
Where is the meet up info?
I'm debating the idea.

>>6814912
I have all day tomorrow and I'm 90% done, shhhh. Plus I'm going to bed soon.
>>6814907
Okay, shoot me an email.

Just at the cafe.

There's really no set plans. It originally started on /a/, someone created a thread.

http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=145926198795794&index=1

>>6814912
>>6814907
>>6814801
I wasn't planning to go to the cafe... but this might be interesting as a meet-up.

/jp/ shouldn't do meet ups.

The maid cafe is done in Amber Village? Was it an afternoon thing? Is it crowded?

Alright sweet, can't believe I'm getting more than one response for this.
Listen, if anyone else is interested, send me an email here.

>>6814953
It starts at 12 and ends at 5 I believe. I think we showed up an hour late and they had to set up an extra table for us, so it's better to go early. We plan to be there around 11:30 this time to make sure we get better seats.

>>6814946
Amazing.
Thank you,

>>6814953

Yep, it starts at 12, and the show starts at 1.
It's... not really that crowed, but its a small room. It's a nice set up though.
I would go early though. We came around 12:30 the first time, and had to sit all the way in the back, because all the other seats are taken. We'll be going around 12:00-12:10 this time.

Honestly, If anything I think we should all meet up at the same time so we aren't scattered around.

>>6814946
Thanks for the FB link, I've made up my mind not to go now.

>>6814963
Arghhh. I don't get out of rehearsal till around 2pm.

I guess I'll just stop by and say hi to you guys.

>>6814963

We were only a little late, we came around 12:30.

The event its self doesn't sta-... actually, having a early meet up before the even would be more convenient though. Maybe at Kino's.

Flushing/Queens/NYCFag here, just to report in.

ASL Culture

I like this thread.

I hate the people in it.

Go back to /a/ /c/ /soc/ /r9k/ /fa/.

>>6814973
It's good fun, you coward.

>>6815000
Where do you shop fellow NYCfag?

How many people we have on /jp/? everytime we have a "report in" thread, we suddenly see lots of people from those areas/countries.

>>6815009
You can't like the thread without liking the people in it. The people created the thread.

>>6814974
We're probably heading out to other places after so that's alright, you can still tag along.

/jp/
I'm still waiting for more shops and restaurants.

>>6815027
Lovely, lovely!
How will I know who you guys are?

>>6815028
>shops and restaurants

Go back to /soc/ you trendy normalfag.

>>6815031
Fake email included~
I'm not giving out public information here, so send me something and we'll work it out.

>>6813468

Good question.
I know /a/ is making arm bands that say NTSA. So it'll be easy to tell them apart.

>>6815023

Yes I can.

I'm doing it right now. This thread was probably started with good intentions but I'm not liking the normalfags crowding it.

A link to facebook,emoticons etc etc.

Going out to buy your otaku goods doesn't make you a normalfag but all the majority of people crowding this thread now reek of /a/ /c/ /soc/ /r9k/ /fa/.

>>6814350
If you're shopping online, I'd generally recommend bk1 over amazon JP - unless they don't carry what you're looking for. bk1 offers SAL as well as EMS, and they tend to package their items better. Also: amazon JP has the additional annoyance of shipping through couriers who tack on customs brokerage fees and crap like that.

New Yorkers confirmed for normalfag scum.

>>6815038
/jp/ is more reliable than /soc/
And anyway, this is still otaku culture.

>>6815055
>>6815047

>>6815000 here

>>6815014
Online, mostly. The last thing I buyfagged was a pre-order of KnK Blu-rays. I've been to Anime Castle in Flushing, it's pretty shitty with mostly titles in English and some etc. knick knacks like bags, key chains, some scrolls and some T-shirts. It's also always filled with kids playing Yugioh. Sometimes I go to Kinokuniya to browse or if I'm looking for something in particular. I also visit Midtown Comics, Forbidden Planet and JHU if I feel like looking around.

>>6815047
I just want to know where I can buy fucking KEYCHAINS

>>6815071
JHU?
Is Midtown Comics really that good?
I guess I really hafta go.

I thought that was only the maid that works there? She goes by "Not This Shit Again".

Still no emails, yawnnn. I'm agreeing to help assemble everyone but you guys have to work with me.

Going outside to shop for goods and play arcade games is normalfag? What the hell does that make everyone at Akiba? (old akiba, anyway. Full of tourists lately)

>>6815080
Jim Hanley's Universe, it's a comics store that has a store in Manhattan and Staten Island. They have English stuff although there was a small rack of Japanese language magazines/art books near the back.

also fuckin captcha I keep forgetting to enter it.

>>6815083
I emailed!

>>6815098
Oh. I've been there. I think actually.
The rack in the back does it have those self published zines?

>>6815096
This. I also fail to understand how meeting up at a maid cafe, of all places, is "normalfag shit".

I like the thread, and might go to this maid cafe restaurant sometime, but I don't like meeting people I barely know. I was once [quietly] talking about 4chan in a booth of a pizzaria and a loud, overweight girl was like, "You guys go to 4chan too? I love that place!" The people who visit the site, even those who just visit /jp/, are too diversified on their level of normality and personality.

I've met a /jp/edo by chance at a bookstore once. Was kind of odd.

>>6815142
I'm nervous due to the fact I'm a girl
I hope you guys don't expect a beautiful asian girl. I'm not overweight. But I'm pretty plain jane.

>>6815153
Tell us!

>>6815116
I can't remember, to be honest. All I remember is the K-ON Newtypes.

>>6815153
how can you tell. unless you talked to him.

>>6815155
Hmmm were you the one that emailed me by chance?

>>6815155

You're not alone, my friend.

>>6815182
Yes indeed.
Also, OP here.
Interesting how this all started.

>>6815189
Forever plain janes. ;_;
Well, at least we're not ugly.

Pygmalion will show up, get ready.

To switch gears back to the original topic for a moment: For those who go to Kinokuniya, do you know how current they are with their selection? Like if an artbook or manga gets released in Japan, will I be able to find it in the NY store on the same day/week?

>>6815155
>>6815204
A plain jane is fine too.

>>6815218
True true. Back on topic.

I've been to both AC and Kino.
I have to say, AC manga is cheaper. I save atleast a buck or two whenever I buy from AC.
I know that doesn't answer your question Anon. But I'm just saying.

>>6815211
And what would you do if I told you I was hosting it?
Absolutely nothing.

>>6815211

watch as moot shows up out of nowhere.

>>6815245
I would laugh

>>6815278
>>6815245

Why the fuck would moot show up? Are you guys fucking stupid?

>>6815301
He was joking.
Can we get back on topic, please?

>>6815304
When is /jp/ ever on topic.
Seriously?

>>6815304

>/jp/
>Staying on topic

>>6815317
....
Valid.
But damn, I really want this information /jp/!

If this meetup doesn't involve /jp/ dressing up in girl's clothing and dicking each other than I'm not interested.

>>6815332
What information?

/jp/ meetup

>>6815232
AC is actually a bit closer to where I live, but Kinokuniya is more interesting to browse for me (though I've only been there once or twice the last few years, I'm thinking of going more often). Japanese stuff is more interesting than the translated/American products that you can find on amazon.

>>6815338

I'm dressing up in girls clothing.

>>6815340
Where to buy weeaboo shit in NYC.

>>6815338
We'll all be in girl's clothing.
You better join us.

>>6815341

Me with the black skin.

>>6815344
I have my current school uniform.
The skirt is a gray pleated one. But the shirt's just a polo. I was wondering if I could use that to get in. I don't know if they'll let us.

>>6815358

You don't have to be in cosplay.

It's $12 to get in without cosplay, and $10 with.
There's only a $2 difference. You don't need to dress up to get in.

>>6815358
That's pretty much what we're using to get in for a discount, so.

>>6815344
>>6815351
>>6815358
Did you even read? The girl's clothing is the necessary but not sufficient condition.

>>6815367

That $2 is going to get me...

There's nothing in the city for two bucks, is there.

>>6815376
I think I'll pass on the dicking part, but we'll still be in girl's clothing.
Come on bro.

>>6815382
Two water bottles
Two bags of candy
Two bags of chips
Almost a subway/metro ride.
2 dollars is a lot if you know how to stretch it!

>>6815382
Actually it could get you one ride on the subway, which we'll need anyway~

>>6815376
Of course I read, but it's still fun to dress up.
I mean let us in using the discount.

>>6815406
Technically it's 2.25....but yeah pretty much

>>6815395
Don't be a homophobe.

>>6815417
If they don't have a quarter I will give them one.

>>6815421
Not a homophobe, I'm afraid the main reason I have to pass on the dicking is because I don't have a dick.

>>6815423
Helping people is grand

>>6815436
Damn how many female /jp/ers do we have!

You don't have a penis. That's great. Stop announcing it.

No, announcing it in spoiler tags doesn't make it any better.

This is motherfucking /jp/ etiquette 101.

So btw:
Can anybody make a master list of all these NYC Shopping heavens?

>>6815454
Chill bro.

>>6815454

>>6815454
But none of us have one. How could that possibly be /jp/ 101?

>>6815471
It's idiotic to announce the obvious, isn't it?

>>6815454
Glad you're not coming then, you sound like a premium douchebag for flipping the fuck out over a vagina.

Grow up, /jp/.

/jp/ girls desperate for attention? Shocking!

He's probably just having a rough night.

>>6815436
Well don't be a prude then. The magic of modern polymer products can still allow you to participate.

Can we not make this into a typical "Oh my god there are girls on the internet??" thread.

>>6815481
You can have the vagina all you like if you don't feel the need to talk about it. I hope you get all the camwhore and meetup threads you seem to so desperately desire, though.

>>6815497
....
Ya done?

>>6815497
Pretty sure you brought up your dick the same number of times in this thread and no one is screaming "attention whore!!!!"

Keychains? Where?

>>6815502
It depends on the replies, Anon-kun.

>>6815503
Nobody is calling me an attention whore because I brought it up zero times.

>>6815515
Funny.
I'll give you that one.

>>6815524
It doesn't fucking matter, you guys are premium misogynists, and now that I brought up my gender in passing, it doesn't matter what I say.
Telling you I don't have a dick to participate in your offer for dickings automatically makes me an attention whore.
That's fucking fascinating.

Nevermind the fact that two of the girls here admitted to being boring plain-janes, and I can tell you right now I'm downright unattractive. I don't give a shit, dude.

>>6815046
No? Not all of /a/. Just me, because I -am- a maid there. It stands for Not This Shit Again.

Tighten up your facts so people don't get the wrong idea, please!

Anyway, for people coming to the Cafe - thanks for your interest. I'll be waiting!

>>6815567

Holy shit, you butt hurt enough about this?

Sage, report, then hide the thread and go on with your day.

>>6815571
I clarified it too, actually. Read the rest of the thread.

>>6815000 here again.
I'm kind of interested in this meet up at a cafe thing. Tell me more.

>>6815577
Asshole.
Can we just continue on our conversation? Enough sexism.

>>6815578
Yeah, I saw it afterwards. Thanks for remembering me, I appreciate it!

>>6815582
If you're interested, send me an email here and I'll tell you the details.
Looks like it will just be four of us so far.

>>6815582
Email mockemail90@gmail.
He'll send you the information.
I might be going. Sounds a lot of fun. Especially since I could use some otaku friends

>>6815567
For now it seems that there's only one bitter, misogynist asshole in here, and that's me. On a personal level, I don't give a shit that much that you happen to be female or even that you mentioned that you were female. It's more of the fact that when people do make posts of the type I described, posting vaguely associated with ideas like: >>6815496 and >>6815447 tends to slowly creep on the board like a insidious infestation.

It's more actually the case that >>6815447 set me off like a firework and has less to do with you in particular. Upon review I realized that I was even more of a tremendous douchebag to you and the other femanons than I had planned on initially being, and that I shouldn't take it out on you in particular simply because various elements of /jp/ (hypocrisy general) tend to make it this thing over time.

I would like to go but i am ashamed since i have slight burn scars from a cooking accident ;_;

>>6815597
I'm confused.
Why are you bitching out on our female /jp/ers?

Tl;dr

>>6815603
Moe~

>>6815603
make up
It'll be fun if a lot of people show up.
And less awkward!
Haven't you see episode 2 of My little sister can't be this cute?!

>>6815590
Aaa it's actually mockemail90@yahoo.com ! Not gmail.
Regardless, it's there for anyone interested, god knows I've advertised it enough.

>>6815603

Moe~

>>6815612
Wow. Major fuck up on my part. My apologies.

>>6815608
I'm Saori. Confirmed.

>>6813508
Overpriced when it comes to localized manga, you mean? I think Kinokuniya's prices for stuff in their original Japanese form are pretty reasonable. Beats ordering from bk1 or amazon.co.jp, at least.

>>6815597

I... did... how do I respond to that?
What just happened?

>>6815605
My original intention was to express the idea that announcing that you are female without any particular reason to do so (for example, if it is required to put a situation you are relating into context) is bad posting because it's either attention whoring or it looks like attention whoring because there is close to never a good reason to ever bring it up. Along the way I was a huge asshole to a fair number of other /jp/ posters.

Upon reevaluation of this thread, it seems like technically the reason gender was brought up in this thread is because apparently some people were considering organizing some sort of meetup and hence effectively making the gender issue irrelevant. This meetup-planning situation is so absurdly rare on /jp/ that consideration of this context did not make it into my evaluation and subsequent condemnation of what I had initially considered gratuitous information and bad posting.

>>6815620

Every time I go into Kino, I can't help but spend a lot.
Its just the way it goes for me for some reason...

>>6815622
>gender issue relevant
I speak English.

>>6815622
Wow.
Uh...
Thank you.

>>6815597
>>6815622
Don't apologize, she's still pussing-out on the dickings. You can't have a /jp/ meetup without dickings, everyone knows that. Normalfag dickings don't count, either.

>>6815622
I don't see what the big deal is. If any of you actually show up, you're going to find out that some of us are female anyway.
I NEVER bring up my gender. Ever. I've seen what happens when other females post, and they practically get their heads bashed in whether it's relevant or not.
Posters like you have made me ashamed of my own gender.
A few years ago I actually used to wish I had just been born male simply because it would be easier with my lifestyle.
I get that you're trying to retract your statement and be respectful but it doesn't make a difference because there are so many other people just like you.

Sage for unrelated shit, this is retarded.

So is it safe to assume there are no more asian-orientated shops in NYC?

>>6815603
Where are your burn scars located on your body? If I see them at the Cafe and recognize you, I'll give you a hug after the show.

>>6815643
The /jp/ users that would show up to a meetup and the type that are probably the less bitter and more tolerant variety of /jp/ anyway. I'm actually surprised that this may actually be getting off the ground because the last time somebody made a meetup thread it was a universally reviled clusterfuck, although that may have something to do with the fact that it was a thread dedicated to that purpose, started by one Satorin !KOMEijI/Jg.

Well, I don't live within a thousand miles of New York, so you all go and have your fun.

>>6815652
On both sides of my face, it sux

>>6815626
Ditto. Last purchase was about $200 worth of light novels and art books. Still haven't gone through any of them yet because I'm still going through stuff from the purchase before that.

I guess one could call this a slight addiction of sorts.

>>6815664
I'll look out for you, if you decide to come. I bet you still look fine. But no matter what, it's what's inside that counts, right?

>>6815664
Again:
moe~

Oh, this thread.

>>6815769
Yeah.
>/jp/ giving serious thought to organizing a small オフ会
One of the better threads on /jp/ lately

>>6815911
Can't tell if you're poking fun at us or if you're interested. Ho hum.

>>6815923
I'm being completely serious. /jp/ getting stuff done is a thousand times better than /jp/ trolling/getting trolled or whining 24/7

>>6815929
Well sweet, I guess that's good.
If you're in the NY area you should join us, I got about 6 people together so far.

>>6815977
For the Cafe? That's fantastic.

If there are any more questions about the Cafe, feel free to ask away.

You're a very helpful meido, thank you~

>>6816019
You're very welcome! I do my best. I'm actually still considered "in-training" and don't get much attention at the cafe, so I've been answering questions in the /a/ threads and now here so I can feel more useful.

long island here, is anyone else from around here :3

>>6815643
Not who you're replying to, but.
Initially I felt that the tendency to ostracize any self-professed female was a helpful counterbalance to those who fawned over such posters. It also helped to discourage any who were merely seeking attention. I would tend to blame a particular tripfag for really fanning the flames and making it all get quite out of hand. Now it's just some knee-jerk reaction... but I don't believe it is a practice that needs to be so completely maligned.

In any case, I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that you have it tough because of your gender; I hope you've reconsidered that opinion. If you're going to be ashamed of being a woman, be ashamed because of things that fellow women do; not because someone is yelling at you for being one.

>>6816045
Hi~
I'm a long islander.
