Fuck it. You get the katsu blogpost tonight.

Thank you to all the anons that came to the meet. I wasn't expecting much of a turnout, so I'm incredibly grateful you all came. It was super cool to finally meet some of the regulars (and you lurkers, too) and spend the day hanging out, talking dolls, taking photos, and generally having a good time. I'm even more grateful we all seemed to get along and enjoy each others, and each others dolls, company. Meeting strangers on the internet can frequently go poorly, but this thread seems to be filled only with decent people. It's a shame some of you couldn't stay for the later meet, but given how well this turned out, there will be another opportunity at Katsucon 2025.

Also thank you to the anon that gave me the cute jacket for Akari. I'll be taking her out for photos next time we have fresh snow where I'm at.

Since this went so well, I will be offering to organizing meets at some other cons in the Virginia, Maryland, PA area.

Next month is Zenkaikon in Lancaster, PA from the 22nd to the 24th (https://zenkaikon.com) . There are no official doll meets or events at this one, so I'm hoping we can have some sort of presence despite the short notice. I'm under no delusions that anyone will show up to this one.

More like an option will be Thy Geekdom Con scheduled for May 24 - 26 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks PA (https://thygeekdomcon.com) . As previously mentioned in the thread, there's already a significant doll community presence there so it will not be out of place for us to have an unofficial (or official) meet there. Plus, we can show our support for the possible mini doll con there.

These are the cons on my horizon. I hope to plan for a doll meet at least a couple times this year, hopefully once every other month at least. If any of you anons have suggestions for other possible meets, feel free to share.
