best time for Harajuku girls?

[execute]

Hi, I don't want to miss seeing the Harajuku girls dressed up in cosplay when I visit Tokyo this february. What's the best time of day (and place) to see them?

do they still do that?

I thought it was on Sunday afternoons. Is Yoshi Watanabe back in town? He seems to know where to find these type of people.

They're not out in Harajuku like they used to be. Even Sundays are hit-or-miss.

My new Sunday favorites though are the folks in their 30s-40s who are right at the park entrance near Harajuku, dressed in 1950s American-style clothes, poodle skirts, etc, who do a little West Side Story-esque dance routine.

The rockabillies are very funny - though of course they are deadly serious! Don't forget to check out their shoes - yet another use for gaffer tape!
