In addition to the usual booths, parade, performances and food, there was also a cosplay gathering and fashion show, which I was so lucky to be able to participate in, along with joyce, yuu, and eric(idk if he has a dA lul =w=")
in the morning, i headed over to joyce's house (i went and knocked on the door across the street from her house though... thank god nobody answered LOL). we both put on our makeup and cosplays there, and watched tv while waiting for our ride. my "big brother" eric arrived to pick us up and we got to riverside after a sleepy car ride (everyone in the car pretty much slept at 3).
getting to the event was pretty interesting, we had to walk a couple of blocks from the parking garage to get there (hello windy/hot weather, perfect for long wigs and black outfits). after walking around for a bit (trying to get something to drink), we settled down for a bit in the pagoda and enjoyed the cosplay meetup, snapped a few pictures and ect.

at around 3, the fashion show started, it was a really unique experience... i was pretty nervous when we were standing in line; my tummy was turning, but the time i spent posing was only like 10 seconds LOL.... i feel like i should have stood up there longer, and could have if i didn't go brain dead and run out of poses xux"

| lol i didn't stand in place long enough for people to get decent shots xD |
 |
| all of us derping... DERPUKA IS CONTAGIOUS D: |

 |
| awww hellsss yeaaahhhh :D |
riverside has such wonderful locations for photoshooting... i regret not being able to do more serious ones while there, and i really would like to shoot there later on :<
anywho, a bit after that, we headed back from the event, and bored but still hyper, me, joyce and yuu started making faces at drivers on the freeway. most of the people wouldn't even look over, but this one awesome person kept passing by us and would wave :D
dinner was really good... hot pot at AB shabushabu *Q*
