What is Uki Uki?
Fumiko says: When I say I am “Uki Uki shiteiru”, that means I am excited, animated, kind of high, feel bouncy, bubbly….. definitely a sense of expectation makes you “uki uki”!  E.G. You are “Uki Uki” when you are going to have a long-awaited date with someone.

Join us for a fun evening of drinking, dancing and art. Come dressed as your favorite character (or yourself). Featuring free admission to our current exhibition, Bye Bye Kitty!!!, a trivia contest, a cosplay parade and helpful maids who will keep the night rocking. We’ll be giving away tons of prizes, too! Including gift certificates to Kinokuniya, toys from Kidrobot, anime blu-rays and tickets to the New York Comic Con.
