Yesterday was the Japan Block Fair in Astoria Queens!
I haven't been to one of these is about a year. orz
But, It's okay!
So Annie came over my house and after a long while of getting dressed and not wanting to leave my air conditioned house we left. The weather outside was absolutely disgusting. It was hot and humid. I seriously don't understand why the weather gets like this in the first place. What exactly does this benefit?
We got there and the first thing Annie did was go to every jewelry booth and took 10 million years to decide on what exactly it was that she wanted. I normally don't mind but today was super hot so I was slightly irritated. While waiting on Annie to finish purchasing her feathered earrings I ran into Elvis! He was super hot and didn't look too happy. Piyo!! Hot weather makes everyone upset!!!
So Elvis joined me and Annie and we all walked around together. So there was this lemonade stand that was selling lemonade, but it wasn't really lemonade. I totally saw the guy cutting up limes and putting them inside the drinks. Does he think everyone is color blind or something? It's obvious it wasn't a lemon, but being thirsty and only a dollar I bought one. It actually didn't taste all that bad. Kind of bitter but in a nice way!
Look at those cups! Do those look like lemons to you!?
How about he takes some of those nice yellow lemons in that basket and use them!
Elvis also informed me of a Misty cosplayer walking around so after much searching I found her and got her picture!
Misty and her lovely Namine.
Walking around more I finally got to the stage of the Block Fair. Reni did not perform this year which was slightly sad, since I had so much fun doing so last year! There was however the same group that does tricks with a soccer ball there this year so I watched them for a little bit. I wonder how long it takes for them to learn to be able to do stuff like that....
I am not good at taking pictures of the guys with the ball! orz
To make up for it though here are some random pictures from throughout the fair!!
Probably the only good picture I was able to get of the guy with the ball.
This little boy was absolutely adorable.
I wanted to take him hope!
Super balls!
So everyone at the fair was really freaked out by this guy!
But, he was naked for a reason!!
He is from the group Tokyo Circus!

The Tonton stand!! I've been waiting all year to eat this actually!! It was always sold out when I tried to eat it, but this time I got it! It was sooo nice and greasy and fatty. Everything I love in one! I also found out they have a restaurant. I want to go!

Doremon!
This man was painting this throughout the fair. I really like it a lot!
The saddest excuse for bootleg takoyaki I've ever seen/tasted in my life.
"Stuffed dough balls" is a pretty accurate description of the monstrosity of the taste. It was like undercooked pizza dough with flavorless boiled potatoes stuffed inside topped off with teriyaki sauce. The entire thing fell apart as you ate it. These people should be ashamed of themselves serving this to people!!
Serving up lies to an unsuspecting Grandpa.
All in all though I had a great time and saw lots of friends! Afterwards I went to Kumo with Annie, Andrew, and Cindy. The food was really nice but, the waitress was a total snob! I don't think I've ever met someone so rude! I wanted to karate chop her across the room! After a while though she softened up a little (which was more than likely due to our extremely loud comments about her) and gave a slightly more pleasant attitude.
Had so much fun yesterday and hope to do this sometime again!!
