E-mail Sent to USC Fanmeet Participants (Just incase)

Hey Arashians/MatsuJun fans!

Destini here with the second mass e-mail for you all joining us at the Hidden Fortress Premiere Event!

This will most likely be the most comprehensive e-mail I'll send, so please read it through and keep all this information in mind. It might be to your benefit to print it and bring it with you if you're traveling out of state.

I will be addressing several important topics here - most of some of you may know but I'm sure there will be new information for you all. If you have any questions after reading this mail, you can reply to it directly or use any of the other contact methods that will be listed here.

Scheduling Changes
Nothing drastic. The meet up time has been adjusted from 8AM to 9:30-10AM. This time is still tentative however, since I will be contacting USC to ensure we can be on the campus that early. So, keep your eye on my Vox (Chesto) or the main site (Arasick.net) for the up-to-date schedule.

Lining Up/Meeting The Group
I realize that University of Southern California is a HUGE campus. So I can only give you brief tips because I've never been there but I have a small inkling that there will be someone on campus to assist us.

For Drivers: Use the available maps on the main site, as well as in the USC re-conformation e-mail and try to drive as close to the theatre as possible to avoid walking aimlessly.

Taxi Riders/Those Getting Dropped Off (somewhere random): Maps/directories will be your best friend most likely. You can call me if needed and give me an idea of your surroundings and I can probably lead you there.

Once you arrive, come see me for your badge. Just state your name or whatever and I'll hand it off. Then you can hang around with us until show time, essentially.

Passing Time
I understand for those who are coming early, while with the amount of fans coming, we can probably talk for ages, but if you want or can, bring a laptop! Me and Kao-chan will have ours but they'll only last so long. Also, bring media! CD's, DVD's, whatever. We'd might as well make the wait a fun one, right?

I do have a surprise for you all though - すぐろく! (If you can't read that then it'll be a bigger surprise! XD)

Night Party
With the amount of fans attending, we will be giving you all more concise information regarding the Night Party at the event itself.

Badge Images
I realize a handful of you all have sent me your images already but something has occurred to me: Since we aren't allowed to make signs with Jun's face on it, I am not sure if our badges can have Jun/other members of Arashi (or Johnny's Entertainment) on them. I doubt that Jun will see the badges and then proceed to freak out so I will add the image if you want but I am leaving it up to you - since my badge will have my picture on it.

IF YOU WANT TO RESEND YOUR IMAGE TO BE SAFE, YOU MAY.

Also, another fan gave me the idea of having those who do send images of themselves doing the 'himitsu' pose. You know, the 'shhh!' face. It's up to you, however. You do not have to! I will make it either way - it's YOUR badge. I do need them sent to me by tomorrow night - Thursday April 24th - at the LATEST.

Dress Code
Kaoruko e-mailed USC in regards to this. Their reply?

"There is no dress code, so t-shirts and jeans will be fine."

So, unless you just want to dress nice then go for it.

Cellular Phones with Cameras / Digital Cameras
Those of you who have gotten the re-confirmation e-mail from SCA know that camera phones and digicams are NOT to be in the theatre. However, it's obvious that some people's camera phone is their only means of communication with their rides home/family/etc. Also - like myself - a lot of you may want to photograph/film the madness pre-premiere!

With that, Kao-chan e-mailed USC and their reply to that was:

"USC will provide a box for cameras and phones!"

Problem solved. Go on, bring your cellphone and camera and they will hold it for you.

Catered Reception
Some people are still wondering if anyone can attend. As per USC:

"The reception is for everyone who attends the premiere."

Okay! Things are looking good!

Flowers for Jun Project
Liz has started a wonderful project to present Jun with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers after the premiere! Please visit her post here for more details!

Contact Information
For online contact, our e-mail's on the main web page, but here it is again:
Destini - dakedohappy[@]gmail[.]com
Kaoruko - Please PM her on her Vox account.

For offline contact - as in the day of the event, here is my cell phone number.
702-672-9591. Ask for Destini. :)

For Verizon Users: I can contact you back and forth through text messaging for free. Feel free to let me know if you are a Verizon user to make contact a bit more speedy and efficient.

For non-Verizon Users: If you don't mention you have Verizon and wish to text message me, I will call you as soon as I receive the text and reply/answer your question.

In any sense, you can call instead of text and we'll discuss whatever it may be that way.

Important Posts To Review
A few very important posts have sprung up on Vox and I'd appreciate it if you all took the time to look them over.

Thanks you all for participating in this. I'll be honest - I wasn't sure how many people we'd get to be into the idea but I think Arashians love meeting other Arashians so it was to be expected. Me and Kao-chan are truly thankful for all your support and we cannot WAIT to meet you all this Sunday! So lets get in high spirits! See you all Sunday!

- Destini and Kaoruko
Arasick since...a long time.

Aww, thank you very much, hehe! <33

ooo yay! im a verizon userrrrrr :D :D :D

Kyaaaa I'm so excited! XDDD

3 days, 10 hours, and 4 minutes left, yay.

I don't think my laptop battery can last very long, but I'll definitely bring some CDs/DVDs/magazines/concert pamphlets/whatever else I can fit in my bag without toppling over. Although, I have a feeling I'll be hiding in the bushes when you guys pull out the すごろく. Nooooooo~

heyy i was just wondering what time you'll be leaving the hotel...cause i don't wanna walk to USC alone since it's kind of a bad area. i'll be staying the same hotel too so i'd like to meet up in the morning and leave together!

i also realized that the hotel isn't exactly right across the street from usc...i think it's like 2 blocks away? o.o

I'm leaving around 11:30-Noonish but I'm getting a ride to the airport. We can walk back to USC though! It'll be easier for my ride, actually. We'll go together though! Call me if you need to as well. ^.^

Yeah, it's not DIRECTLY across the street. I had to re-word that because I realized that's not that case. XDDDD

oo i actually meant leaving the hotel to go to USC the morning of the premiere, but then i just realized you might be flying down on sunday and then going to USC straight from the airport, right?

do you know anyone who will be staying at the hotel on saturday?

OHHHHH! I'm flying to LA tomorrow! I'm staying with my grandparents though until Sunday - then I'm flying home Monday. I'd stay in the hotel the whole time but I can't afford it. XD

Want me to stop at the hotel first and we'll walk to USC in the AM? I don't mind doing that at all. :D
