I'm gonna (attempt) to go to bed soon since I have to wake up at 3:30AM for my flight.

I'm confident we'll all be able to see each other at some point, but if it helps I think I will be wearing my bright orange Gatas support towel on my shoulder, maybe walk around twirling it or something haha. I'll also be with kjpop there with her guitar. I figure we will both be enthusiastic enough that we will be hard to miss haha.

I'm going to get there around 10 tomorrow morning and wait outside of the panel room, just come up and talk to me or whatever and we can chill in line (I'll be wearing a fez, you can't miss me)

daigong tweeted earlier today that he managed to see her. Apart from that, I'm not sure if anyone else managed to see her at the convention.

^ SO AWESOME MEETING U KJPOP AND NOVA FOREVER!!

CANT WAIT TO SEE U RINA!!!

can't sleep, planning day two!! need some Qs for the Q&A so lay it on me! txt me! here's a quick summary of what went down, gotta go get a few more Zs

RIKA DAY ONE: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Totally laid the

on Rika's Brain

Did the whole convention thing, walked all around.

Saw that the "Bento Box" was just the lunch box so lulz.

Met up with all the Japanese fans again (except Mae-chan ;______________; I txt'd her earlier she was so busy so I send her Rika pix to brighten her day<333) including some new ones we didn't see in Finland. EPIC! And Loser87 came around too.

Then we went to camp at the autograph place and there was already a crowd, then BLAM! It was Rika (in full ANGRY mode already) said jay and as she checked the place, me and Hart totally stalked her as she went back to where ever she was chilling.

AUTOGRAPH TIME

Me and Jay and Hart were checking the same way she came in and BLAM! she appears like behind us catching us off guard ROFL. The thing was she only signed things

Yaz was there giving her selective translation and answering questions for Rika -_-; but when I got up there FUCK!! I just laid it out!

before the autograph signing:

Launching gift after gift from my Oilers bag LMFAO. Rika face glowing the whole time!!!! SO CUTE, gave her tru's Ode to LaLuna sampler CD "Band from Phillipines, they open for hangry & angry!" Beecubed's Rika Guide, Rika totally lit up and ROFFL'd at the eye winking page, then I slammed her a can of Red Bull and she laughed, then I laid out the Red Bulls Jersey!! GODDAMN!!

all the while they made you buy shit at the cash register located to the left of Rika and you had to come back and get her to sign that was complete fail. so here I was flinging my wallet and Yaz had to give my hotel key back to me

but DAMN told Rika overseas fans JPHiP!!!! love her representing.

Then jumped into a big group hug with the Japanese wotas who were all like FUCK YEAH DAIGONG!! high fiving em all and I just collapsed. ONLY RIKA CAN MAKE DAIGONG WEAK!! <333

then they wrapped up early, like 30 minutes so we totally went after her and when she got to the escalator THE FUCK WHOA!! RIKA TURNED AROUND AND WAVED AT US AND WE WERE LIKE WE LOVE YOU!!!! BYEEE!

went to FIT exhibit just before it closed, talked to Sando on the phone! Ate Bon Chon chicken, felt the spicy chicken twice! Thanks Kimmy for recommending!

TO. BE. CONTINUED.

more videos still upping gotta go sleep s'more. and Jay and Ping totally took epic DSLR pix so stay tuned. HOMIES Shit only just begun. This how we do it JPHiP STYLE! gotta wake up super early dinny style CUZ WE HARDCORE!! RIKA <333333333333333333333333

Rina the Robot · « **Reply #69 on:** October 09, 2010, 02:15:01 PM »

Day 2 is decidedly un-epic, I woke up feeling pretty sick and my friends don't want to get up. I guess I'll see you all at the second Rika panel then, if that?

Update from the press room.

Just finished with Day 2. It was Rika ALL DAY!
Had a H&A fashion show, a Rika panel, and another autograph session.

I'll post up some pics of Rika when I get the chance. We all have great pics of her!
Also she loved the Red Bull jersey!

jaysonnj · « **Reply #74 on:** October 10, 2010, 08:27:54 AM »

This reaction is all because of Dai.

LOL WHAT WAS SHE REACTING TO?!?!? OMFG THAT'S HILARIOUS JFWOJEOIFJOIEJ

daigong · « **Reply #76 on:** October 10, 2010, 09:46:54 AM »

ROFL SHIRENU! Rika was saying something about getting friends gifts and mentioned the Red Bulls shirt, and that a fan gave her a Red Bulls jersey and I was like WOOOOOOOO and that led to the reaction shot Jay posted

and then she double face palmed

Tried to REP Finland SHIRENU!!

KIITOS!

DAMN Rina the Robot sorry lost you, in all my Rika crazy-ness. Hope we can meet up tmr if u still in town.

WERD Wolfie = RIKA DAY TWO: MIND BLASTING MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

hit the place up super early, everyone there already for Fashion Show. they had the same music and models walk around. FUCKING we could take pix and video so get ready for plenty of coverage!! HANGRY ANGRY!! <333

THEN BLAM! Rika comes out at the end after the models do their turn on the catwalk SO SEXY!!

GASHICON designer of hangry & angry did a Q&A and to liven the thing up, RIKA CAME OUT TOO!!! and did a fashion demo!! WOW

Onto the Q&A, there was a basic get to know you hosted by Yaz. A summary of Euro trip experience "All fans so nice, ate McDonald's in Finland"

US Tour possibility since there was a Euro Tour - you gotta help promote it! WELL THATS WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR RIKA <333

So much more. RIKA FUCKING OWNED THE SPOTLIGHT!! Was like goofy, cute, and sexy all at the same time. Like at one point, next store there was huge applause and she was like playful "WTF" and we cheered harder and louder until she had to go like okay enough

Gotta upload the videos and audio when I get home - THEY HUGE - and this Hotel INTERNET is suspect lol

LULZ got hANGRY & ANGRY designer GASHICON for h.NAOTO brand to sign my bag:

AUTOGRAPHS PART DEUX!

Went up to Rika and she was like "New York Red Bulls"

Gave Rika the card signed by EVERYONE from Finland to NYC and she was like WHOA! look at the lil pics. lol packed it with an envelope filled with jphip pimp shit: stickers, bidness cards, wu-tang vs snsd pamphlet

Got these items signed, props Ping's buddy Joe for helping out!

Thanks Rika's Manager for carrying Rika's gifts that I bundled in a ghetto Oilers store bag (that formerly held game worn socks) and a Superstore Photo Lab envelope cuz I'm so Asian

SO MESMERIZING SHE SO BEAUTIFUL OH RIKA <333333333333333

Then me and Hart went to stalk Rika one more time and LMFAO almost lost her in the packed hall plus she had a shawl on cuz it was cold? but down the escalator, she took it off and started posing - for her blog I guess!!!!

EPIC!! MIND BLASTED!!! Finally can get some rest and relaxation. Celebrate Ping winning the Fantasy Baseball lol. Pool Party! BUT AHHHH RIKA HIGH TENSION!!! and got some Rika photos, a few from fellow Rika fan from Japan! They were great! KJPOP NOVAFOREVER <333333

Check back http://youtube.com/JPHiP3 - leaving it to upload some videos, gonna sleep! PEACE!
