Only a month until the Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event 2013! It will take place on June 15, 2013, at the Elk Grove Village Holiday Inn in the suburbs of Chicago. The theme is owls. Come join us!

The base cost for attending the 2013 Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event is $16 per person ($20 at the door) and includes a premium gift bag for the earliest attendees. Registration fees are not refundable but are carried forward to the next event. Fees help cover the cost of the meeting room and other PUDDLE expenses.

You can enter the dress like your doll costume parade and customization contests. Swap your items with other collectors, or buy new things for your dolls. Vendors will be selling dolls, wigs, clothing, and accessories.

The Willowbrook Wildlife Center (located about 10 miles from the PUDDLE hotel) will be our charity group in 2013; the website can be found here.

Groove Inc. will be represented at the event by Yosuke Oba of Jun Planning/Groove USA. In 2012 he brought upcoming releases and sample prototype dolls from Groove creative artist Mango Park. He also auctioned retired dolls and sold nude dolls at a great price. Who knows what he will bring in 2013?

Feel like so!
