***December 28th bump*** It’s better late than never to wrangle this sort of thing, so what the heck: if you’re reading this and you’re going to be at the Tokyo Big Sight on Saturday, December 29th, why not stop by the coin lockers near the Big Sight entrance at 3:00 PM? The plan at this point is simply to meet up, exchange a round of introductions, and figure out what to do next (if anything); I’m not going to put in reservations anywhere as I have no clue how many people will show, and I know many of us (myself included) might not want to drop 3,000 yen on food when there’s doujin to be had instead. If you’d like to meet a few fellow Comiketting gaijin though this could be a good chance, and if you’re up for something afterwards I’m sure some of us will be too. Meeting spot details below:
If you’ve never been to the Big Sight it can be a bit confusing to figure out the exact location of the meeting point, but the two images below should hopefully help. The first image shows the outside of the main entrance to the Big Sight (the lettering underlined in red is just above the main doors). If you enter those doors and take an immediate right, you’ll see a bank of coin lockers and some low benches tucked into a sizable space just off the entryway and off the body of the main entrance hall.

The map below has the “main entrance” arrow pointing to the same set of doors depicted in the photo, and the “meeting spot” arrow pointing just to the right of the entrance at the alcove with the coin lockers, benches, and elevator. If that’s at all confusing please let me know and I can try to clarify it for you.

I’ll post again on Friday with final details. Hope to see you there! Oh – and if you do think you’ll try to make it, if you could post to comments here and let me know that would totally rock.
count me in!!!
Hello Shingo. I’ll be going with DarkMirage and 2 others. We’ll try to find you if we don’t get lost heh.
aw…wish i could count myself in too :(
Count me in with a friend!
One of these days…
I’ll be there unless I get carried out on a stretcher, passed out because of trying to go to comiket 12 hours after I touch down in NRT!
I won’t miss it this year! Bringing 1 or 2 friends.
I heard it’s gonna rain this weekend though (T_T)
Cya then. I will try my best to be there…. but you know, I could always be stuck in a queue. Haha
Might make it! Should be a lot better than Summer Comiket which I did for the first time this year… alone. T_T
I should be able to be there ^_~
Whew! This is going to be a big group. :3 Here’s a current tally:
CMWilly
kwok, DarkMirage, +2
aiHD +1
kransom
EvoSpace +1/+2
Hectic3
forestsprite
Blitzwing01
me
For a maximum total of… 15, at this point. It’ll be great to meet everyone, I hope you all can make it!
im coming too
Greetings, I’m a Comiket veteran who would like to join you. I may already have caught sight of 1 or more of you at past Comikets. Look forward to seeing you there!
>>mightygerm, Ernie
Great, hope to see both of you tomorrow!
My spirit will be there!
Hi there, I’ve just moved to Tokyo and will be going today for my first-ever Comiket! Assuming I don’t get trampled in the teeming hordes, I’ll do my best to find the meeting point….
I should make it as well.
so just a little over 6 hours to go eh? Have fun!
Hey didn’t see anyone there. But a lot of gaijin. Had to leave prematurely at 1545 because last night’s rain is eating my feet.
I’m sorry if we somehow missed you, the best laid plans often go awry (and this one wasn’t even particularly well-laid).
orz
Hope to get the chance to see those who didn’t make it on the third day.
Admittedly my attendance hinges on whether or not I get into my Japan exchange program or not, but can you put me down as a “probable maybe”? It’d be my first Comiket and I’d rather be with people who know what they’re doing than on my own ^^
Wow, I’m an idiot. Wrong year.
