Hey everyone. I work in Downtown LA as a law clerk, and E3's happening down the street. I was thinking of, like the Donuts campaign a while ago, I could bring the ArtPlay and Inticreates staff some pastries from Porto's Bakery, and I'd like to know how. www.portosbakery.comPorto's Bakery is a very popular Cuban bakery here in the LA/OC area, and they also serve really good coffee. I was thinking of buying them some boxes of cheese rolls (the most popular item in the Porto's menu). If anyone wants to pitch in, I can buy even more items, including some of their signatures cakes! (Seriously, check out their tiramisu - it has a pile of chocolate shavings shaped into a cluster). Since I'm coming from Anaheim, I was thinking of dropping by Porto's in Downey to pick up the goods, and then bring them to E3. I don't have an E3 pass, but I'll likely only have time to drop off the stuff anyway, because of work ^^;;;; Twitter handle's over here: mobile.twitter.com/AurelioAngelesThanks a lot, guys! |

I like buying the Bloodstained crew delicious treats. The donuts took the cooperation of Mana and collected money by the forum. With all that is going on at the moment, I don't think it would be easy to arrange while they are in LA. This stuff looks yummy though. |

I understand. I met Mr. Aizu yesterday, and he said the ArtPlay and Inticreates crew will be at Anime Expo (same place, just a few weeks later). Perhaps we can plan for it then? Is it best to contact Mana about this?

Yes, Mana would be the person to talk to. Keep in mind that last time we sent our money directly to Mana and she used it to buy the donuts and deliver them herself. This took over a week to get coordinated and accomplished. In your case it sounds more complicated because money might instead come to you and I'm not sure how people would feel about that. purifyweirdshard presented IntiCreates with a cupcake all on his own, but he used only his own money and talents for that. |

Heh, it was an entire red velvet cake actually, complete with plates, forks and knives.
edit: I didn't make this myself! I had a local bakery do it for me. haha

Whoa, that looks nice O____O Good job on the handiwork! As for the logistics, let me clarify what I was planning: - I was going to buy them some pastries and/or cake out of pocket. 2 dozen cheese rolls are $17 iirc. - I put up the thread if people wanted to pitch in, so I can buy them even more stuff (more cake!). - If people pitched in, I was going to pay for the items out of pocket first, and then ask for reimbursement later, but only part of it (i.e. If the Porto's cost $50, I'd only ask for $30, since I was already planning to spend $20 on pastries) - I'll deliver everything at the LACC at any time is convenient for the staff (well... Maybe after 9:00pm, since Porto's opens at 8:00am... You get the idea XD). I'll try my best to make it as convenient as possible for the Bloodstained admin. Worst case scenario, I'll prolly see if I can bring it at their Anime Expo booth.  |

WOW so this is what the Twitter post on the Porto's was about! I'm so sorry we couldn't contact you in time. This is really nice and thank you so much for the offer!
This E3, we were literally running back and forth through different meetings/interviews so it would have been very difficult to plan out. Since we're going to Anime Expo in a few weeks, I would love help you out.

This E3, we were literally running back and forth through different meetings/interviews so it would have been very difficult to plan out. Since we're going to Anime Expo in a few weeks, I would love help you out. Awesome! Let's go get cake at Anime Expo! I can communicate here on the forums (on this thread or via PM), or I can also give you my email if you would like to talk more privately. I will be at Anime Expo for all four days (since I am vacation the whole time), so it is also more convenient for me. For pastries, I definitely recommend picking up the cheese rolls, as they are a great snack (although be careful, you may finish 3-4 of them fairly quickly!). For the cakes, it largely depends on everyone's preference, but so far, the Opera, Checkers and Tiramisu cakes are all very, very good. Each cake also comes with a sheet of white chocolate that you can ask the Portos staff to write items on! Here's a video showing off the Bakery: |

Good stuff, man! I'm glad it worked out. Next time I do something like this, I'll need to be more specific in my communication I think haha

I got all this because I wanted to both welcome the Bloodstained staff to Los Angeles (I wasn't able to do so last E3), and I wanted to show Igarashi-Sama how much I appreciate all the hard work he's done in making the games we love. Maybe for next time, you can pitch in and we can get everyone something different. Like maybe Suzycakes, whose specialty is petite cupcakes Or maybe we can treat them to an awesome dinner at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles? |
