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.

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.

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

Or go to Dollectable. I'm going!

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.

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.

Isn't bad pop the best? ;)

I would totally be up for sharing a room.

*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

[rkold.livejournal.com]

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

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;

[ladybrick.livejournal.com]

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

[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
