⭐ F.A.Q.

Q: What counts for the cosplay/apparel freebie?
A. You do not need to be in full cosplay - a t-shirt, beret, ita bag etc will count!Q: Is there an entry fee?
A. It is free :)Q: when, and how are you announcing the cardboard cutout winners?
A: LA location: You will need to be present to pick up, but not at the event itself during the time, please feel free to explore around Little Tokyo and surrounding areas! I will collect emails and/or phone numbers (whichever is more comfortable) and notifying through that, to allow for participants to walk around freely. A winner will be selected around 4:45 PM January 4th. Please pick up before 5:15 pm.Q: Will leftovers be available online?
Some items may be available, but not all since a variety of artists participated and we would need to confirm their permission for orders after the event. we will update accordingly!

gacha prints

how it works:
♡ on January 3-4, these prints will be available for gacha roll purchases at the participating cafes.
♡ there are two methods to roll: in person, where your print will be revealed in a gachapon ball, and online, where you can experience a virtual roll. Virtual rolls are available for everyone and are free; but please note that you need to be in person to purchase and claim the physical prints.
♡ leftovers may be sold online afterwards.
