Sakura Con: New Friends!

During the weekend at Sakura Con, Michi, Hana, and I frequented the Angelic Pretty booth. We were looking for clothes and to spend all of our money and we succeeded. What we didn't expect was to make such cute and wonderful friends!

The first day, after the booth finally opened after a VIP event, the three of us stopped by to at least touch and lust after the garments. Immediately Hana was stopped by three of the girls, workers from the San Francisco store, who loudly gushed about her Cecil McBee purse. The four laughed and shouted in Japanese so I pulled out the camera to get their picture for her.

I hadn't intended at all to be pulled in for a picture myself and before I knew what was happening Michi was there too and the lot of us were playing musical pictures between the racks and swapping contact information.

For the rest of the week we visited the girls, talking music and fashion and the cute boys next door. Natsu's... obsession with Michi's boobs and how good she is at hiding things in the top of her dress. (Lolita's don't need pockets!) We brought marble cake from Uwajimaya and on Saturday found out that Natsuki wanted to see Moi dix Mois as much as we did. So we invited her along.

Sadly Hana had to go before the show but Shelby, Michi and I managed to make it about three rows back in the pit. (Thank you priority passes!) We waited and held some space for Natsu while we waited for her to get off work. Somehow, while none of us were paying attention she ninja'd her way through fifteen rows worth of people and popped up with a wave. The four of us couldn't stand still while we waited for the show and did even worse when it started.

Afterwards, exhausted, we stumbled back towards our hotels learning we had way too much in common. Seattle really didn't need to know how scary we wanted our men or our plans to use Michi's boobs to get them but by the time we had to part ways it felt like we had been friends for years. Natsu apparently felt the same way and cried and hugged us for being so nice to her. We sent her along and reminded her we would see her tomorrow, a promise we of course kept.

On the last night we ran into Natsu again after she had gotten her CD signed by Moi dix Mois and quickly made plans to get dinner on her way back to work. After the Con finished our friend came to pick us up and we grabbed a table at Blue C Sushi. The girls were stuck working for way longer than we expected but we were happy to wait. We thought it was only going to be Natsu but Aki and Mayo came along too! The only real bump came when Michi's phone died and we had no way to get ahold of anyone. So Michi ventured out to find their hotel and eventually brought them back. Easter Dinner consisted of sushi and super yummy drinks with old and new friends.

We ended up accidentally staying past close but we spent so much money I don't think they minded all that much. We stayed for hours, yelling and laughing and eating and having drinks. Apparently two was a little too much for me but they all sounded so good! I don't remember exactly what my first one was but most of us finished with a melonaid. Sort of a midori lemonaid drink. Earlier on Michi had a midori sour with cucumber that was different than I've ever tasted before. We stayed way too late and I felt guilty but Adolfo and Justin said it was okay, the girls would be going back to San Fransisco and we wouldn't see them in a while. The three hours of sleep and hangover at work the next day were worth it. I love those girls and it was so hard to say goodbye. But you don't click with people like that for no reason. Now this means we just have to go down to Cali to see them :P

If only I really could go see LM.C with Natsu!!
