SAY WHAT? I had been expecting this for a while, but am bummed that the dates just can't work for me this year. The big news is that UMEZZ CARNIVAL 2009 dates have been set! UMEZZ CARNIVAL is an annual event/show/revue hosted by Kazuo Umezu and his assistants and friends, a mini UmezuCon. Like the last few years, this event is sponsored by the toy marker ArtStorm and some of the festivities are being hosted at STAR PINE'S CAFE (location noted on the SHGTE). Unlike last year, the event is being split over two weekends in September.
Here are the details, taken from Umezu's blog:
UMEZU CARNIVAL SPECIAL TALK SHOW
Sunday, September 13: Live onstage event at Kudanshita's Scientific Museum's SCIENCE HALL, featuring dancing, an interview with Kazuo Umezu, limited edition commemorative goodies, photographs, figurines and rare works exhibit, and signing opportunities.
Doors at 3PM, Event starts at 4PM. For more details go here.

UMEZU CARNIVAL 09 SPECIAL ROCK LIVE EVENT

If the description wasn't enough to get everyone psyched/jealous, here's photo recap from a previous Umezz Carnival I posted last year. So... anyone over in Japan going to attend this thing? Do you want to write a field report for Same Hat?
