General
I'll be in the San Mateo area from Jan. 22nd to Feb. 9th. I hope to have a fun time at the con, got my table next to the Clubstripes crew, that will be fun. I'll be doin my usual, sellin CDs, drawing in sketchbooks if people would like and muh $1 badges!
I will have something new too at the table, will keep mum on it til closer to the con.
But more importantly wanna get to hang in the bay area during my stay, hit any art jams, any Kinokuniya book stores are always cool since really don't have any back East. And as you all know I love collecting toys, Japanese imports, GI Joe, Transformers, etc. Any recommendations of cool toy stores, collectible stores, import toy shops, lemme know! ^_^
Any cool places to see, hang out, eat at, also drop a note here, love to experience cool local eateries, Mom & Pop places or anything cool. I really love to get some good Mexican and Asian food when in Cali as well. And any cool Japanese teppanyaki/steakhouses love to hear bout em!

I'll definitely be comin by to see ya!
San Mateo and the area around is full of awesome Asian places - for amazing dumplings, the Shanghai Dumpling Shop in Millbrae is downright amazing (http://www.yelp.com/biz/shanghai-dumpling-shop-millbrae) and The Ramen Club in Burlingame does great bento lunches and, obviously, ramen (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ramen-club-burlingame-2). If you want to keep in San Mateo itself, the "down town" (1st-6th street-ish) has some great places, especially the Vietnamese/Pho places - not sure I've ever eaten in a bad one. Also, given the large Hispanic population, the Mexican places are pretty good too. Japanese food in the area is excellent but 'spensive.
Erm, last but not least, there's a great Japanese-focus (but they do have GI Joe and other similar stuff) in San Francisco, if you make it up there - Heroes Club (http://www.yelp.com/biz/heroes-club-art-of-toys-san-francisco) - which happens to be right across the street from an excellent (but ugly) dim sum place called Happy Garden (http://www.yelp.com/biz/happy-garden-san-francisco).
Uuugh, I am a foodie.
Lots of good food places, thank you I hope to attend at least some of them!! Thanks!
I haven't been to TFAW recently, but a lot of what was in the Metreon is... not as exciting as they want you to believe. They just didn't get the flood of folks coming through that they thought they would, and the businesses suffered. You may want to call TFAW to make sure they're still there before you make the trip! I will vouch for Heroes, though - they're small but carry a lot of fun stuff at good prices.
Enjoy the area! I'm going to try to make it by your table to commish you for some sketchbook love at con.
so, anyone in particular you're hanging out with anyway? (I've seen countless BBF furcon video's, so even though I've never been to a con, I practically already know all the fursuiters x3)
and japanese book stores but im sure you already know that ^^
I'll bonk you and Miu's head together when i get there. :)
If there's anything you need to know about GUNPLA model kits of GUNDAMS just ask... I got a lot of em ^_^b
And I know where to find the best deals... and how to make the kits look awesome!
During con, I'll be running my little ottery ass off as Hotel Lead on staff but catch me there and I can give you some totally awesome suggestions.
