My suggestion for a more appropriate time would be sometime not during the weekend, as everyone and their dog and the fleas on their dog is going to be online and trying to hold events. Of course, I do realize that this doesn't work for a lot of people, but it sure works better for me.
Also, the event planning forum is by default OOC just to clarify for those who don't know.
edit: besides, "gaijin" means something like "barbarian foreigner". Not even KNF and BD call each other gaijin, despite how much they hate each other. It's the difference between talking to people in your "family" and talking to strangers.
