punk rock flea market + sakura festival
yesterday was super nice. we did a lot of running around and socializing, but it was quite enjoyable
we hit up the punk rock flea market out at the fairgrounds. they were downtown last year, but since the sakura festival was scheduled for the same weekend, i think that's why they got relocated. it was HEAVILY attended - there were a TON of people, which was awesome to see. it was packed because of that, tho, and was a bit more of a challenge to browse. but we bought a couple little things b/c i had some birthday money leftover
the titan a.e. production sketch was an awesome (and very well priced!!) find! there were two, but my budget couldn't swing both lol so i got the one that'll look better framed. also grabbed the men in black cyber-cine litho.
tony scored the biollante clear file and the unleashed pins (sketch, clear file, litho, and pins from art toons), as well as the werewolf patch (from kingguro!!). i got the kitty earrings (from rabbit + rain - also uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh they have rose coffin earrings!!! i didn't see them there) and the knife pin (also from kingguro)
after the flea market, we ran some errands. i picked up a brussels sprouts start and another (different) type of strawberry start at petitti's. picked up some groceries. then headed back home to drop stuff off and grab tony's fursuit. then we headed down to the sakura festival downtown!
(okay this is actually from close to my neighborhood, the trees downtown were a bit past their peak bloom)
it wasn't anything spectacular, but it was decently busy. someone local organized an impromptu furmeet, so we figured we'd at least link up with folks. an old friend, satre, was also coming down to attend and we hadn't seen him in AGES. we also got up with chris and sam and, eventually, after running into a variety of furries, the four of us branched off and we to get food. we struck out at the sushi place, but chris suggested a local brewery that serves food, so we did that and it was a nice way to finish off the day. we chatted and ate (tho half of our food came out really late - it WAS delicious, tho lol) and shit and it was just really nice
i also cleaned the porch up a bit the other day and pulled my bike out. thankfully the tires are still good! i didn't ride it at ALL last year, so i was hoping i wouldn't need to buy new ones x_x
now i've just gotta....commit to getting on it and riding regularly again. the electric scooters have really spoiled me
last weekend was really nice, as well. i took a couple days off vacation b/c i get my birthday off anyhow. my mom came up on saturday and we drove around to see the herons and hit up some of the plant nurserys. we were gonna work on my garden, but i'd torn up quite a bit of it already anyhow and nothing needed to go directly in the ground, so we just got out and enjoyed the nice day
