I Met Hakuei From Penicillin!
So on the day of 8/9/09 I met Hakuei from the band named PENICILLIN!!! I had won a contest to meet him in San Francisco, so I invited my friend Punch_Samurai to come with me since I could take another person with me.
We got to San Francisco just in time! A few minutes before he started his autograph session. It was in Japantown and a fair was going on at the same time so it wasn't very hard to find. So we were already at the booth about to get lined up. When we noticed that we forgot something important!! Something for him to sign!!
So we quickly went into the "mall" that they had close by and went into a bookstore and looked for anything from PENICILLIN. There were no cds so we ended up getting a Fool's Mate magazine that had an interview of the band inside. We got the magazine and kid of ran to the booth because I was so nervous and excited to be able to see him. ^--^
When we got to the booth there he was signing autographs already!!

So we got our autographs and he signed for his band members and was laughing while he did it!! Then I got my invite to meet him in a party later on.
Yet I noticed that no more people went to get more autographs.

So I bothered my friend to see if we could go get a second autograph! But she wasn't really into getting another one. So we stood right infront of the booth and just looked at him, when I noticed a girl beside me and asked if she was going to the party later on and she said she was. So we talked a bit and became good pals! I told her if we could get another autograph and we went to ask and they said we could and we did!!
Right after we got our contact info from eachother to send eachother pics and stuff. Then we stood there a while and I took pics of him and this is what I got.

There was still some time for the party and we decided to go eat somewhere for the meantime. We went to a restaurant and all of us got okonomiyaki it was a bit expensive but good!
Here's a pic of me excited for eating it for the first time!
