PMX 2009
was fun!
Friday: 1st day
Friday, I went to classical...where we had another pop quiz (...i'm just assuming we have quizzes on fridays from now on dammit >< )
Went with Chi to Ralphs and then to get boba before she left and i bummed in front of my class till it started.
Poetry class went on forever...20 minutes overtime again in fact =-='
Kevin said he'd be there at 5...but called at 5 saying he hadn't even left yet =_=''' Molly called and said she'd arrived so I rushed back so I could at least dump stuff in bags. We ate korean sushi she'd brought for dinner, and waited till Kevin finally arrived (with the duffel bag I needed). I shoved everything in and we were off!
Took forever to get to the LAX Hilton but we made it...at like 8 >.o' Met up with Derainna who helped us pick up badges and then rushed over to the concert hall (luckily only 1 band had played i think?) We managed to catch Rusika perform (yay Natz! :D). After Natz was a Hangry&Angry mini fashion show. Then this girl duo called Papillon played. They were actually pretty good! (considering the high pitched-ness of them). After their set, was another Hangry&Angry fashion show (...or...well...the same people and stuff X_X ).
Once that was over with, Uchuu Sentai NOIZ came out! They have new members from when they came in 2006, but I thought the new ones(Yamato and Kotaro) fit in really well. Their set was full of energy as usual...and Angel Taka was...pervy as usual *sigh* "My pikachu is happy! Are your pokemon happy? CHUU CHUU *hip thrusts* 8D" orz.
I...can never again look at pokemon the same way again T_T
Anyways, after the performance, we went out to the hall, and I ended up buying their Great R&R Heroes cd and a t-shirt. Because it was over $40, and I was within the 1st 50 people, (as was Molly who bought the cd too), we filled out these raffle ticket things for the next day. After that we went back to the room and talked and stuff till almost 2 when we finally retired for the night ><'
Saturday: 2nd day
Everyone woke up and got ready, and headed down to the exhibition hall for a bit before heading to the Uchuu Sentai NOIZ panel :D I'd forgotten my cd upstairs so Kevin and I had to go back and get it, and when I came back, I'd realized i'd dropped my raffle ticket thing, so we once again had to go back and get it while Molly waited for us ><
On the way back down, Kyo from NOIZ was behind us in the elevator, and ran off at the 4th floor. He wasn't dressed yet, so I guess he was racing to get ready since he only had like 15 minutes heh.
There were a lot of interesting responses to questions. I felt so sorry to the translator because she had to translate some of the ...special... answers they gave heh! Like, someone asked the usual what superpower would you have? And Kotaro answered ...he would make sushi rain from the sky -_-'
Angel Taka said that he wished people would have more "feelings down there" because it would contribute to world peace D;
Angel Taka kept doing/saying stupid/pervy things and yamato had to keep calming him down lol!
...until they got to the which is your fave pokemon question. Kyo said Raichu, Masato said squirtle i think? and Kotaro, Angel Taka, and Yamato all said pikachu. ...when Angel Taka said pikachu, he started doing pervy hip thrusts haha! and Yamato had to calm him down...and then Yamato did the exact same thing and they both started doing their little "dance" >.>' lulz.
Poor Masato had this look of "i'm surrounded by IDIOTS!" lol! It's nice to see the band has really good interaction with the new members =D
After the panel, Kevin ran off to get lunch from the Kogi truck, and Molly and I got in line to get our cds autographed. That went quickly, and then we got back in line to have a pic taken with the whole band :D I put my glasses on the chair before I sat down but had knocked them down so I had to be like *turn around squint at stupid patterned floor* aughhh megane(glasses) DD: and Kyo found and gave me back my glasses before I rushed out with a big arigatouuuu :D
After we were done, Molly got onigiri and I got a sushi bento before we went to meet Kevin...who was only halfway through the Kogi truck. Ran into a bunch of people while waiting! Got foodz and ate with Derainna while Molly tried to get to the AP boutique.
When it was time, we wandered back into the concert room to find spots for the 2nd mini NOIZ set. We we right up front, but really close to the speakers (OW). There was this lady and a kid in front of us (er...who we let in front). I've seen the kid at other cons. He's cute, but i think he's also a little "special". During the concert I felt kind of bad because since there was no VIP section this time around, all the really enthusiastic fans were in the middle front and dancing really crazily. Poor lady got knocked into a lot while trying to protect the poor kid from getting bashed too much. I got knocked into a lot to so... I learned to move awayyy everytime the members came closer heh! It was so cute though! the kid was rocking out and Masato came right up to him and gave him a huge smile and patted him on the head ^^
And later on Angel Taka saw him too and kind of let the kid almost touch him and did a" can't touch this" pulling away motion before giving him another huge smile and a hair ruffle ^^ So nice to see :D
It's always cool seeing younger kids/older people having fun (and hopefully staying safe) at the concerts, there was a wee one in front of me at the Lin Clover concert, and watching the little granny rock out at the GLAY concert was cool too :)
After the concert, we went to go wait in line for the raffle thing. The paper at the booth said first 50 people would get a picture, but apparently the band said it was a raffle where they'd pick out 10 tickets out of the 50 for a picture. Luckily, the band agreed to let everyone have pics. They still called out only about 15 people though (which included me and molly! :D) for the original deal. Everyone else got to take a picture with their own camera with one band member. Kevin and Derainna didn't have tickets, but sooo many people didn't show up, that they didn't check tickets and they both got pics (with my camera) with Taka Angel.
Those of us with the magical winning tickets, got to do the same thing, as well as have a polaroid taken that would be autographed. I picked Yamato for my personal camera picture, and Angel Taka for the polaroid. Sadly, I got distracted by something so when they took the picture, I'm not looking at the camera -_-' *sigh* There was this japanese girl that was in a wheelchair that got her pic taken with them, and I guess she wanted to stand up so they helped hold her up~! <3
Afterwards, there wasn't anything left to do so we ended up going back to the room for the rest of the night (with a small venture out for carls jr for dinner). We ended up watching My Sassy Girl before deciding to go to sleep.
Sunday: 3rd Day
Packed up everything and checked out. (Thanks again to Molly for funding the room and driving! :DDD). We dumped our stuff in her car, and then went and stood in line for the Angelic Pretty, Takuya Angel, and Hangry&Angry Fashion Show. It was interesting! And we saw Patty as one of the Angelic Pretty models! After the fashion show, we all stood in line to get into the AP boutique because Molly wanted a picture with them. That line was...slow and long =-=' Kevin and I took off to the exhibition hall to snag any last things. I ended up buying a pink fat rabbit shirt (...that's my 3rd fat rabbit farm shirt ><; ) and NOIZ's Brand New World cd (featuring the new members). I also bought a poopy horse, and a piece of bread. That is not bread. It looks and feels and looks like milk bread, but it's just a little foam thing. Useless, but awesome XD And Kevin also bought me a little rat keychain from Fruits Basket :D
We came back and finally got into the AP boutique. Looked around while Molly got her picture, and went to the Takuya Angel boutique (ugh, everything at those boutiques were insanely expensive >.o; ). We took one last look around the exhibit hall, and said goodbye to PMX2009.
Molly dropped us off, and we ended up walking to Acapulco's for dinner (I had a coupon) On the way back we got boba, and once we returned Kevin headed off for home.
anyways, now for some picspam :D
Natz! :D

Angel Taka messing with his hair (one of the last pics i got of the panel before they said no photography >< )
