Not only did I make it there with some of my favorite pals, but I also got to meet some of my favorite blog pals for the first time. JustJENN invited the Food Librarian, Darlene and her husband Paul, and me to meet up for brunch, along with our longtime pal, Jodi.
A few of us ordered the oh-so-cute Hello Kitty high tea.
The food was super cute, and not bad at all, but I prefer Jin Patisserie's tea.
After brunch, we wandered the art exhibit. I didn't take a ton of photos as all three of the memory cards I brought were FULL (I'm so bad about removing photos). However, I couldn't resist this collection of mini canvases by Plasticgod. And his Tweet sign cracked me up.
We had fun identifying the characters, and luckily there was a nearby curator to confirm our guesses on some of the more obscure ones. Click here to biggify and guess for yourselves.
If they weren't $50 each, I might have picked up one or two. Love them so much, and I think they'd be so cute in Em's room!
The line to get into the Hello Kitty-filled store was at least an hour long, so we didn't head in, but we had a great time regardless.
I also learned something new during the following...
Paul: Why is this exhibit called "Three Apples"? Isn't that how tall a Smurf is?
Me: Yeah, they ARE three apples high!
The Food Librarian: That's how much Hello Kitty weighs.
Paul, Darlene, Jodi and I: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh......
Total tangent, but when I first thought about how tall a Smurf really is, I decided they're probably more creepy than cute in person. Smurfs would be cuter as one apple high. Doesn't three seem more like a giant squirrel or something more menacing?
Just sayin.'
