I woke up at 10:00 in the morning to get ready but I still managed to be slightly late... <br><br> <a href="http://www.mana-sama.net/dsectshibuyasarah.jpg"><img src="http://www.mana-sama.net/dsectshibuyasarah.jpg" width="300" height="225"></a> <p>As you can imagine, it took me forever to get my hair the way it was, which was one reason for being late. Another was that as SOON as I was about to leave, I put on my big Moi-meme-Moitie shoes and they broke... Then it got worse... <p>As I was changing shoes as fast as I could, my skirt ripped, but I knew I'd miss out on the session if I changed then, so I put on a Moitie cape (not in the picture) that I wore to cover up the skirt. <p>If that isn't bad enough, when I got to the subway the ticket machine wouldn't take my money so I had to sit there forever and find loose change for the machine to take... <p>Long story short, I made it but the staff seemed a little disorganized. They had already started telling people where to go when I was only about 3 minutes late. They already called my number, but I didn't know what to do, so I asked a staff and they had me wait on the first floor (The event was in the basement floor). <p>I went up to the first floor but realized everyone's number was higher than mine, so I tried to get out of the first floor but another staff started yelling at me... <p>I didn't understand why I couldn't leave, but suddenly I hear KLUNK KLUNK KLUNK up the stairs. I looked out the glass door and there was Mana walking up to the floor above where I was... <p>After he got up I could leave but since I got to the basement floor after they called my number I had to go further back in line. However, it turned out to be okay because I was standing right infront of where Moi dix Mois was sitting the whole time, so in a way I got extra time to see them!! <p>However, as soon as the event started it went really fast the staff was literally shoving us... <p>I got to shake hands with all the band members. Sugiya and Hayato seemed really shy, but after them came Seth, who made me laugh so much!! <p>All the band members thanked us when we got up to them and shook their hands, but Seth just had to say "THANK YOU!!" out loud to me in English. I thought to myself "Its because I'm white, isn't it?!" HAHAHAHA! Although, I thought it jokingly. <p>K seemed nice and then of course there was Mana who is as always Mana. I think he said something to me but I couldn't quite hear him, so I'm not sure...I tried to say "arigatou" but I know I was wayyy too quiet when I said it myself... <p>So that was the end of the event for me. See what I mean by it went really fast? </div> </div> </div> <div class="c5"> <div class="c2"> <div class="c6"><strong>-</strong></div><br><br> <br><br> </div> </div> <div class="c7"><br> <br> Disclaimer: Mana-Sama.net is a fansite devoted to the Japanese artist Mana.
