Sing your hearts out

[rkold]

Sometimes, I can be a bit slow on the uptake, thus saying, I've only just discovered Karaoke Revolution. In my defense, I don't actually own a PS2 and I'm not a gamer. However, I've now discovered it and must get myself a PS2. lol Fortunately, with the release of the PS3 the PS2 is come down rather a lot in price. Sadly enough, I am going to need Volumes 1-3, since they all have songs I like. How can I resist getting graded on singing It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine) or Hey Jealousy? It's just too temptatious for me.

What drops of Yaoicon I made it to were fun. I discovered my first day that on week ends, I'm more than 1 1/2 hours away from the con, which made getting there early on a second day most unappealling. In fact, I barely made it there for the BJD Tea Party. ^^;;; I did make it though, and it was fun meeting a lot of the northern California doll people from DoA. I was invited to give a panel at Dollectable. o_O I also got to meet some anime people as well, and got my picture taken with the incredibly adorable Yuuta cosplayer. It was rather a surprise someone was cosplaying as Yuuta, since y'know he's not one of those characters it is popular to cosplay as and he isn't exactly easy to cosplay as either. I also ran across the amusing Ouran cosplayers who fed me yummy cookies and tea. lol

I was also incredibly late to meet my sister for lunch. ^^;;; something she was not exactly pleased about to say the least.

Yesterday, we went on a tour of the Scharffen Berger chocolate factory. It's odd to think we are leaving and returning to the colds of New York. Secretly, I'm a bit pleased though as I miss my cats.

I also want Karaoke Revolution, esp the Party one. And I still want to get DDR too. I got my PS2 in Jan though, right before they came down in price :/

I am thinking I will prob go to Dollectable... sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

I am still thinking about Dollectable, but now I feel a lot more positive about it.

I don't remember which permutation I bought, it was the only one I saw for sale other than Country. I do want the others though cause I like bad pop.

I have a DDR pad and DDR for the PS1, but I don't actually like most of the songs so I don't like playing it. The Karaoke games mostly have songs I like, so I am much more likely to try them, though this new one has DDR and Karaoke.

Isn't bad pop the best? ;)

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it is, though not everyone agrees on this.

Sounds like Yaoi-con was fun, despite the long drive! How was the chocolate factory?

Will you be going to Dollectable? I haven't been paying attention to the various BJD cons, since I'm unsure of our travel plans next year.

Actually, it wasn't a drive, I took the train. ^o^ I think it would have been longer via car since then I would have had to go over the Bay Bridge, which always seemed trafficy.

The chocolate factory was a mixed bag. The introduction part where we got to hear about the chocolate and sample stuff was great. The factory walk through part was super fast though.

I would do it again. If you have a rental car the Jelly Belly factory tour is cool too.

I'm considering going to Dollectable particularly if I can find people to stay with me at the Clarion, cause the commute is just too far.

I would totally be up for sharing a room.

Ohhhh hmmm this is a thought though my first choice is still being cheap and staying with my sister if I can, since she is actually in San Fran. But definitely an idea. XD;

I actually can't afford to go unless I'm sharing a room with people, so keep me updated ^^

Now you need to head south and visit me. Like, now.

Or go to Dollectable. I'm going!

*hugs*

I want to meet you, but I have no family in SoCal as an excuse vs. a sister and sister-in-law in San Fran. I was so sad when Volks announced a tea party AFTER I bought my California tickets cause I would have planned for this week, and bought a cheap flight to LA >.<

But ohhh you're going to Dollectable? Would you go to my panel :P

[thundermew.livejournal.com]

Yes, but only if I'm allowed to make faces at you.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Sure, though be warned I might make some back :P

If I am going, I might need to borrow a video camera next trip to Japan. lol
