:panic: :panic: :panic: YAY AREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY FELLOW BAY AREA H!P FANS AT??? That's right, all 3 of you. :P

Seriously, though...I've been wondering for a long time when Up Front was finally gonna send someone my way! I never thought J-Pop Summit would be the place considering Kylee has been their biggest act so far...but I guess with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu coming this year I should've raised my expectations. Sure, it isn't technically H!P, but OMG IT'S REINA!

TANASATAAAAAAAN!

OTSUKAREEEEIIIINAAAAAA!

It's kinda funny...to be honest I was secretly hoping nobody H!P-related would come to America this year simply because I wouldn't be able to afford to travel to their location. But as it turns out all I'll have to do is struggle with parking!

Time to catch up on some LovendoЯ material!

Are you kidding me!!! I was in San Fran for school and now that I'm away for the summer, everything good is happening while I'm not there!

Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya's movie "Platina Data" is showing in SF in Aug. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is performing a free show in SF in July. And now Lovendor is going to be there in July! I won't be back in SF til Sep.  :(

I should have stayed on-campus for the summer.  :badluck:

I wish I could but I can't :( Maybe next summer I should just stay in San Fran in case something like this happens again.

Wtf? How did I just see this now????

This actually gives me an EXCUSE to go visit my mom in the bay area! I can see Reina too!!!! ...maybe it'll make me feel better after not being able to go to her grad concert T_T I promised at the time (though maybe hollowly since I promised the grad too >_<) that I'd be able to still see her in LoVendoЯ, and now she's coming to almost my own back yard (though I don't live there now, I've had residency there before since my mom lives there, and I go at least once a year)!!!!!

Finally I'll be able to see one of these acts in a place I'm familiar with too :lol: My old Japantown stomping grounds... Union Square too, wow...

So if the message hadn't come across, count me in!! Looking forward to seeing you all again too! :D (and maybe finally meeting rndy???)

It also seems to say the autograph session on Saturday will be limited to the first 30 people... they are totally gonna have a riot on their hands.

Edit: Oh wait, UpFrontLink tweeted it'll be the first 50 on Saturday and the first 50 on Sunday too. Still, that's pretty restricted. XD Those Japanese wota on Sunday who'll be happy to just skip the Union Square live to stand in line...

I'll be going both days, and probably all day both days.
On Saturday, will be wearing a yellow shirt and grey short sleeve hoodie, faded-black patchwork cap.
On Sunday, will be wearing a red shirt, grey jacket, with faux-cornrows on one side. (a la Gekikara, but with short hair. So more like Berryz's Saki's hair in Special Generation)
Large brown over-the-shoulder bag.

So what's the plans for the weekend? Lunch between/before shows? Saturday night gatherings?

It's only a few days away and I'm still not quite ready; the blessing and curse of living right next door to the whole thing. :lol: Gotta make sure to wake up extra early on Saturday. I might be able to give folks a ride between Daly City and Japantown if need be.

Flights coming in from Japan to SFO on Friday will be arriving mostly in the morning, with a couple in the afternoon...just saying...

Looks like it's rokun, Rayle, J-Triumf, chibs, and myself at the least. Anybody else? Step right up!

Today is such a great day to stop in South San Francisco! (hah.) I'm betting my time on the 11:00 am flights.

I can be pretty nondescriptive, but have every intention to wear the Masaki-birthday t-shirt so that'll be pretty distinctive.  Depending on the weather, I'll have my dark kelly green snoopy jacket (you'll notice the snoopy logo on the back) as much as possible, but if it's too cold I'll just have a navy blue fleece.

The other distinction is my Mission Workshop Sanction black rucksack, which stands out a bit due to its back metal buckles, and I'll probably be riding my bike at least on Saturday, so look out for the white helmet hanging at my side. 

PM me if you'd like my phone number to plan out any weekend or hangouts, as Geary Boulevard (out towards the Avenues) and Fillmore Street have some pretty nice places to eat.
