Also known as the weekend I got to sit in a classic Impala, eat to my heart's content and get the worst sunburn I've had in a while. But before that!

Friday, May 31st
My friend's band, leyline, had a show at Milkyway in Shibuya. I had to leave a little bit early but I'm really glad I got to see Rocobitch before I left! I'm normally not big on female vocalists but there's something I really like about her voice.

I was invited to sever black paranoia's event as well so after that I headed a whopping 30 seconds away to Cyclone. It was packed and incredibly hot but a really good show.

Unfortunately I'm shit at taking photos in Cyclone; I don't know if it's the lighting or what but it never seems to work out for me. I'll have a mini-live report up on trick/rock. when I get the photos :)

On Saturday night I found out by complete chance that the first Saturday of every month is "low rider night". Which essentially means, classic car night.

ALL OF THE HAPPY.

Alright then.

My interest in classic cars has absolutely, everything positively nothing to do with Deano and that damn '67 Impala. Maybe.

We were supposed to meet in Tachikawa around 11:00 so I dragged my reluctant ass out of bed and armed myself with my All Stars and beloved iced caramel macchiato. I should also probably mention that I'd downloaded the Gatsby soundtrack the previous day and had No Church in the Wild on heavy rotation. But I was still tired. 

This will be my very Converse summer

Avocado burger!

And a coronet ♡

The most authentic melon soda you will ever have.

Kazuki, me, Lisa. Oh, and Pou-chan the Piggy.

I'd never been to Tachikawa before and it's a liiittle far away from my house buuuut...so much food 8D About 450 yen to get in and then you pay per item as you go around. Unfortunately it was supposed to be cooler and somewhat cloudy so I skipped on the sunscreen. So much regret, so much pain. At least my shoulders aren't lobster red anymore.

Still have a few weekends/events to catch up on! Until next time. ♫

penny lane

So seeing as how we're already halfway through 2013 and I've written one entry, I've decided it's probably a good idea to break my posts up into smaller more manageable entries. I have a lot to write about but I'll do my best to play catch up! :)

For starters we'll go with mine and Lisa's fancy date in Omotesando last weekend ♡

Herbal chicken salad

"If you can't stay, take me away!"

Dressed up for club night!

Is this Holly Madison?! I swear it looks just like her.

 We were supposed to go to a Swedish club event but after dinner at this really cute little restaurant--that I totally just realized I lost the business card for--we quickly decided dessert was much more important than clubbing.

Keep in mine my current goal is trying to get ready for bikini season.
Details, really.

Being that both of us are entirely too driven by our sweet tooth, we found a sign indicating a nearby restaurant offered pancakes and waffles. After walking around for, well probably much longer than two girls should be looking for desert, we finally finally found Penny Lane!

One day I want to live somewhere like this D:

Literally just realized this was a kid with a mask!

Really cute interior and wifi!

Cute sign is cute.

Tiny Lisa! Big couch.

The most amazing pancakes you've ever seen. 

A rare day when I won "Battle of the Bangs"

Even though we blew off the club, it was actually really, really nice to get dressed up for once. I spend the majority of my time either in work clothes or in my beloved All Stars when I'm at shows so putting on strappy sandals and a flowy dress was a nice change.

That's all for now! Going to attempt curing my headache with lights out and some Big Bang Theory ♡
