I picked up Krispy at her house somewhere around maybe 12:30 and I drove down to San Jose from there. It took around an hour to get there since there really wasn't any traffic. But when we got off of the exit, I started to get kinda nervous because I don't like getting lost, and I was trying to find parking. We managed to find the hotel, but then found out that the hotel didn't have any parking garage for itself, I parked in one of the public parking lots which wasn't so bad considering that it was only two blocks away.
So when I found a parking lot, I called
yoshikochan to see what room she was staying in so that I could get ready for the Rikkaidai photoshoot. Krispy and I kinda went back and forth from the room until I got my things. But when we finally got back there, the room was filled with yellow. =P
Seven out of the eight of the Rikkaidai members were in the room. Niou(????) was the one who was running late.
We had a photoshoot when everyone was ready, and it was pretty fun. We took a couple pictures in front of the hotel room door, then we went down to the lobby to take more pictures. I think we were imitating drawings from this one Prince of Tennis doujinshi about Sanada's hat. XD;
One by one, while people were taken away so that they can take their pics, a lot of us started messing around and started taking pictures of their own. Like .. there was one where Sanada(
mahoubunnybell) is standing with his arms crossed in front of him while Kirihara(
lucathia_rykatu) is lying down on the bottom of the stairs making it seem like Kirihara was Sanada slapped all the way down the stairs.
There was also a Jirou(
renji_fan1185), Kamio(????), and a Battle Royale Student(
mojotmonkey) that joined our small group and they were part of the reason how we were having fun. :3
There were quite a few Sanada/Yukimura moments too, which was pretty funny, but then there were also times where Yanagi(me) wanted to get in on the action too. >__>;; ... There was one time where Sanada and Yanagi eloped .. and I don't think anyone noticed. Although I think that when they were found, Yukimura(
yoshikochan) wasn't too happy. XD; We took a couple photos outside too, and while doing that, there were quite a few people who passed by asking for a group picture.
*Insert more Sanada/Yukimura, Sanada/Yanagi moments here* ... Sanada was a pYmp. XD;;; Outside, we saw the cute EIJIIIII(
dramaelf)!! X3
I guess the photoshoot was either done or semi-done when the day progressed, so all of the Rikkai peopleses had a dinner together. But while we were walking there, there was an argument between Sanada and Yukimura, so Sanada grabbed Yanagi and put him in between the two of them. Yanagi decided to be the mediator and try and settle the problem ... but the whole problem wasn't settled. (.__.") So while we were all eating (with Sanada and Yanagi sitting together), Sanada kept on looking at Yukimura.
Some other things happened where Yanagi and Eiji got separated from the others, and whenever we would pass by another TeniPuri cosplayer, Eiji would glomp them. =P I didn't really buy anything this day because I didn't see anything of interest. But when we saw a couple of the other Rikkai members, we found out that Sanada and Yukimura got back together.
...
The four of us (Yagyuu(
ayutachan) was with us) talked for a while, and then we retired to our rooms soon after since we heard that that TeniPuri meet was tomorrow at 10:30.
P.S. I DON'T THINK I WROTE DOWN/REMEMBERED EVERYONE'S LIVEJOURNALS. D':
