Mayamada Manga: Hot Lunch Part 2

mayamada November 7, 2011 No Comments

We’re back with the next episode of Hot Lunch, showing the story of a slick team of food thieves led by Taishi – a tiger on a mission for revenge.

A few years have passed since Taishi was booted out from the Circle of Flavour apprenticeship and he is now looking to recruit his team members to help with his plan to take down the chef cartel.

The first on the list is Tancho: A smart-mouthed strategist who has outgrown his current crew and is looking for his next big opportunity.

Enjoy ^_^

Mayamada At MCM Expo Recap

Nigel November 1, 2011 2 Comments

This weekend saw our first appearance at the MCM Expo in East London.  For those that don’t know about it, MCM is the biggest celebration of all things gaming sci-fi anime, manga, cosplay and general geekiness in the UK.

MCM is about the same as the New York Comic Con, but the cost of travel is much cheaper for us 🙂

We took the mayamada team down for three days of non stop standing on your feet, but it was so worth the lower back damage because we had an amazing time talking to loads of friendly and passionate people as well as make new friends and fans along the way.

Here are some of the best moments from the show…

We visited MCM in May but now that we had a stall we got to skip the lines.

Even though the area was massive, it didn’t take too long to find our spot.

 

 

Once we set up our stall we were off and running!

Thankfully umbrellas weren’t needed all day!


Everyone got stuck into the cakes as soon as they came out.

Everyone waited in anticipation for the t-shirt giveaway

We’ll have to do another next summer.  Check out our Facebook page for all the photos.

Mayamda Super Fun (and Only Slightly Damp) Picnic Time!

Nigel August 22, 2011 No Comments

There are a few things we at mayamada learned over the weekend.

  • Don’t trust British weather or weathermen.
  • Touchscreen phones don’t work too well in a downpour.
  • Good people will come through whatever the weather.

This past Saturday saw the first mayamada picnic this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen.  It started off well when we got to the park and unpacked everything in the middle of Hyde Park…and then came the rain!

After getting very wet, buying a few emergency umbrellas, a shower curtain and deck chairs for an improvised tent…we decided that we couldn’t wait out the rain and found nearby cover.

But the great thing is people still turned up, and once the rain cleared we went from this….

To this.

A really great turn out considering the early downpour.

Of course, we had mayamada cupcakes on show again…

…and things turned out well in the end – high five!

For all the planning you do beforehand for an event, it’s highly likely things will not go to, well, plan. Don’t let that fact put you off planning though. Just remember to stay flexible and positive so when things go a little off the rails you can still have a good time – and we did! A big thanks to everyone that came down to make it a super fun time 🙂

Look our for more pictures on our Facebook page.  If you were there on the day be sure to let us know what you though too.

Super Fun Picnic Time!

It’s now only a few weeks until our picnic in Hyde Park and the excitement is building.

We’ll be in Hyde Park on the 20th of August for a fun day out to celebrate the end of summer, mayamada style.  We’ll have FREE food and drink, a t-shirt giveaway and a few other surprises too 🙂

We recently got a bunch flyers printed to hand out and we’re putting together the menu and plans for entertainment.  You keep up with our plans for the day on the event page.
