That Blogger-hobbyist dinner thing Coffeebugg was rambling about
Well guess what peeps, Seems like it's time to finally roll this out! I know some of you guys have been waiting for this.
I've finally made the arrangements, Venue and all. While it is no where near the size of Danny's Tokyo CGM nights, With out further ado.. Take it away girls!
*Edit thought I'd change the article title as it seems none of the curious ones caught it.

We cordially invite you to ECCHI's NIGHT!!
Enthusiasts,
Collectors
Character,
Hobbyist and
Ink-slingers' Night
A humble gathering of people who share the same interests to share good stories over good food.
And since most of us will be meeting for the first time, be prepared to introduce yourself, your blog or if you want, your favorite figure to us.
We also humbly request that you bring your calling cards. Who knows, You might get lucky and bring a new friend home!
We've reserved a small area for about 20-30 people, so if you want to go, let us know. Comment, IM or email us. And if you're sure, be sure.
See you there!
Venue: Dec. 18, 2009, 1800H, Gloria Maris Dimsum Kitchen, Club Filipino Ave., Greenhills Shopping Complex
San Juan
Budget: Php300-500
*edit: Me thinks the girls forgot to mention, since the area is quite small, for those who wish to bring a companion, please limit it to one, and be sure to let them know what they'll be in for. Just as well, I wouldn't recommend going in cosplay, if you really, and I mean REALLY want to go in cosplay, keep it simple. We're there to eat and chat after all.

And there you have it guys.. Mark your calendars.












Worst date..sigh..do gonna attend if i have time.
If non-DC but they know you..it's ok?
o_O? eh? Well.. they don't have to necessarily be a member of DC.
wait.. are you asking if you could bring other people over?
Will be present in this event. Guys, don't forget to bring some cards (business/id cards) so that we can exchange contacts.
Its times like this I wish I still lived in the motherland.
Hey, If this turns up successful enough, it might not be the last time we'd hear about it. ^_^. who knows, you might be here for one of those.
That would be awesome ! Id def. go to the next one !
Gloria-Maris huh? Can't go wrong with that! Service is horribly slow when it comes to the drinks as of late though. Menu all set? I would like to put my vote in for some yummy hot prawn salad.
he he.. you read my mind. Yup, We got the menu set. ^_^
weee~ i'm so glad i'll be able to make it! :) thanks sensei!
though i know i can't make it, a concern of mine is what if more than 30 people show up coffee?
hmm.. good question, but I spoke to the restaurant manager and they believe they can accommodate some spill over of people. Guess I better come up with a something for that on my end though I'd appreciate people notifying me here or by other means.
*jaw drops*
wow, this event has STRANGE timing. that happens to be the night of the Lantern Parade at UP and I think I'm supposed to be going.
Well, I'll go and see how my schedule works but put me down for a tentative "yes" on the guest list.
(I approve of the venue! I just ate at the Gloria Maris in Gateway this morning - good grub!)
UP LANTERN PARADE?! Oh Shi~!.. I miss going to that T-T
I don't know if free on that day (damn make-up classes) but I'll try to go.
BTW how does one go there from, let's say, DLSU?
Take the LRT to EDSA, transfer to the MRT station, get off at annapolis station and take any one of the jeeps that take you Greenhills shopping centre. It should be right in front of Annapolis carpark and Unimart.
Uwaaaaah. This is what I hate about not being in the city... not being able to go to gatherings like this ;A;
Have fun guys! Gloria Maris in Greenhills has yummy food! I recommend their fried mantao or malaiko as dessert :D
Where might you be comrade?
I live in Pampanga ^^;
Well, this is your chance to make a trip North. :D
LOL. You mean south ^^; I live in the North (of Manila)
It's not like I've never been to Manila... just that I need to get back home... and last trips of the buses usually leave before 8pm ^^;
maybe next time if it's a lunch date or something XD
What you said.. Lol..
