<img src="http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sparkling_hana.jpg" alt="Hana-tan" title="Hana-tan" width="150" height="150" style="margin-right: 10px;" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1102"  /><a href="http://www.abunaicon.nl/" target="_blank">Abunai &#8220;Looking for Group&#8221;</a> is just 3 days away. All the maids are very excited about this weekend and are looking forward to it!<BR><br />
We&#8217;re very busy with preparing all kinds of things. Today our poster were delivered and the menu&#8217;s will be printed too. And in about two days we will shop for our ingredients and we will make home-made delicious sweets.<BR><br />
For the con visitors who dont know us and are curious about our full menu!? Then be sure to visit us during the convention ^__^ Our maid cafe is a relaxing place with nice music, delicious sweets &#038; drinks! Gentle maids will serve you and you can also take a picture with our maids <3<BR><br />
<span>Sparkling&#8217;s slogan:</span> <em>&#8220;Cute, sweet, nice and gentle maids. They will serve you with a lovely smile!&#8221;</em><br />
Your very welcome on friday till saturday!<BR><BR><img src="http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/noir.jpg" alt="Noir" title="Mascotte Royal Roulette Noir" width="150" height="150" style="margin-left: 10px;" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1102"  /></p>

<span>Noir</span> the picture above is the mascotte of Royal Roulette! Again whe want to thank <span>&#8220;Machi&#8221;</span> &#038; <a href="http://superlevenloos.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">&#8220;Nathalie de Graaf/Nafa&#8221;</a> for their artwork!<br />
For more information about Royal Roulette you can visit their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/183873084965903/" target="_blank">Facebook fanpage</a> and in the future there will be a website too!<BR><br />
<em>Royal Roulette says: <span>&#8220;Come with your friends and be spoiled like a princess by our league of gentlemen.&#8221; </em></span> &#8230;.Sounds good!<br />
A lot of our fans were screaming for a butler cafe, so if you&#8217;re one of those fans? be sure to vsit the butler cafe on saturday eve and sunday! <BR><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello fans!<BR><br />
Good news! <a href="">Sparkling Potpourri</a> will be back at <a href="http://www.animecon.nl" target="_blank">Animecon</a> 2011. We hope we can do much more then last year, though last year we had a lot of fun too. We baked hot waffles and served sake at Animecon 2010 ^__^. But this year we hope we can have our full cafe and enjoy the fans and visitors much more! <BR><br />
Today is the day the maids will have a meeting. We&#8217;re going to have some fun with shopping with the girls while our manager Karim is making some nice curry rice for us. When the group is complete we&#8217;re going to enjoy the meal. We also want to serve curry rice at the conventions <strong>IF</strong> we have made an agreement with the hotel. So let&#8217;s hope we can! <BR><br />
During and after the meal we&#8217;re having some chit chat about cafe improvements. We already have made some decisions like: Mascot update by new artist and new flyer&#8217;s. Of course we also have to make an updated menu. Thats one of the things we&#8217;re going to discuss too. It also depends on the hotel. For example, if we cannot serve curry rice >_< we have to think of something else.<BR><br />
For now we have to wait for more answers our self, more up date&#8217;s soon!<BR><br />
x your maid :3</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello maid fans,<BR><br />
Abunai is just a few weeks away and then you can enjoy our cafe again ^_^. <BR><br />
At the moment we are very busy with preparations for this weekend. And of course we are very busy with making improvements too.<BR><BR></p>
<ul>
<li>The things we will improve is the interaction between our customers and our maids. Thats also the reason we will introduce <a>2 new maids</a>. So we have more time for you!</li>
<p><BR></p>
<li>We will have <a>games</a> again, like last year. We also have a special corner for the <a>photos</a> <img src='http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  So you can have a little moment for that.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Abunai 2009 has ended.<BR><br />
And now i will reflect on last weekend.<BR><br />
In my previous post i didn&#8217;t have much good to say, i thought the cafe would be less successful as last year.<br />
But i was wrong! Ok, so we couldn&#8217;t make any home made things and communication was rusty before the con&#8230;but almost everything was solved at the con itself.<BR><br />
The catering people were not that bad, sometimes they were bitchy about the water we needed&#8230;but that&#8217;s it.<BR></p>
<p>The maid cafe was a huge success again!<br />
We received lots of compliments about the food, the new custom made costumes and the service.<span id="more-325"></span><br />
I think they key to this success was our team, 5 maids which had experience at previous con&#8217;s&#8230;and 3 new maids which were very good!<br />
The team as it is now is a very good, enthusiastic and hard working group of motivated people <img src='http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>ALL of the food was sold out the last day of the convention.<br />
The curry rice was sold out after the second day O_O<br />
I didn&#8217;t get any complaints about food or waiting time since we had some house rules this time.</p>
<p>Pictures will be online tonight! I am at school at the moment so i can&#8217;t upload them now <img src='http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I would like to thank all the people that have visited us!<br />
Please keep coming to our cafe at conventions and enjoy our food and service!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actually it&#8217;s the night before Abunai 2009, but I didn&#8217;t really have time before now XD. Anyway, communication was not that well with Abunai at the beginning. But things started to move the last 2 weeks and we could get stuff done!<BR><br />
Unfortunately, thanks to the catering at the location we are restricted in the things we sell. For example, the loved and very wanted home made products are banned. Products that need cooling are banned, we even had some trouble with the whipped cream! Communication and business with the location sucks so to speak <img src='http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  So therefore our maid cafe  will be kinda like last year, but only with some decoration improvements.<BR><br />
<span id="more-321"></span>We were planning on going all out on this con, because the cafe was such a big success last year we had many plans for improvement. But alas, the only real big improvement are our very own custom made maid costumes. (only for the experienced maids) Improvements food wise are nil&#8230;because of the catering and the last minute communication.<BR><br />
I take my hat off for Chibicon&#8230;only 3 years experience and so well organized and professional. After chibicon i hoped that Abunai would treat us the same, but i guess the location just wont work along with them or something.<BR><br />
My sincere apologies for the lacking choice in our products, i hope next time we will have more products&#8230;if they let us. After Abunai I will discuss the future of Sparkling Potpourri held at Abunai! So, stay tuned for my post after Abunai 2009! (and for the pictures ofcourse <img src='http://www.sparklingpotpourri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
