The @flotsamrivercircus was INCREDIBLE. I’m so happy I went! The aerial/acrobatics were so cool and the story was really interesting!! Everyone did amazing! I really liked all of the audience participation and how cool the ending was 🫶🏻 These guys are so talented!
It was so fulfilling being able to walk down to the river and read my book while waiting for them to start ✨
I’m so happy my hometown is getting so many cool events and things to do! The Renaissance Faire was the same day, and the art gallery and local indie bookstore had events too! 🎨📚🎪

🎡 The sandwich fair this year was so much fun!! I won a giant otter plush (he’s way bigger than he looks!) and a few other small prizes like my capybara 💖 I also got a few necklaces and rings! It was really fun walking around for a few hours and checking out all the booths and games! Also thrifted this dress and I’m OBSESSED 💖

1verse concert!! 💜 @official1verse
This was one of the coolest kpop experiences I’ve ever had!! 🫶🏻 I went to @kpopnarachicago for the first time ever and pulled my bias’s signature and bias line photocards!!
For the concert at @itsanimemagic we got front row for @official1verse and Kenny, Aito, and Nathan were SO GREAT. Kenny soloed Iconic By Mistake from Katseye and Aito did Bad from Ateez and I can’t include the videos because I am SCREAMING 😭 Their cover of Your Idol from Kpop Demon Hunters, Lalalala from Stray Kids, and Halazia from Ateez was insane! Hearing Multiverse in person was so heartwarming and THEY PLAYED THEIR NEW UNRELEASED SONG COMING OUT IN SEPTEMBER!! 💖
The interactions at the end of the concert and their funny interjections through the sound issues was so fun!! Kenny cosplayed Sasuke, Nathan cosplayed Toji from JJK, and Aito cosplayed Doma from Demon Slayer and the group was EATING IT UP whenever he talked about biting us 😭
It was the COOLEST experience ever to happen at a cosplay convention I’m so happy I was able to go because they made the tickets so affordable 🥺🫶🏻💞 Thank you to all my line friends and seat buddies I made!! 💜

Anime Magic Day 2 ✨ @itsanimemagic
I got to meet Anjali and Joshua (Coco and Qifrey’s voice actors from Witch Hat Atelier!) and cosplay Qiao Ling from Link Click for the meet up and Windmaster from Heaven Official’s Blessing. It was so so much fun to get to meet so many other danmei cosplayers and talk to all the VA’s like Hayden Daviau, Stephen Fu, and I got a big hug from Nazeeh Tarsha!
I’ve been a huge fan of Anjali for years, their work in Heaven Official’s Blessing is AMAZING, as well as all the other voices they do is just incredible, I LOVE their efforts as Coco it’s perfect! So lucky to have had such a great weekend!! And doing the 1verse kpop concert at the convention center was awesome 💜 And it was my first con where I went multiple days in a row!!

I’ve been a huge fan of Joshua Waters because of Sasaki and Miyano, Given, HSR, and now him voicing in Witch Hat Atelier. They are the absolute sweetest person ever and talking to them was amazing 🥺 Same for Anjali, their work in Heaven Official’s Blessing is AMAZING, as well as all the other voices they do is just incredible. So lucky to have had such a great weekend!! And doing the 1verse kpop concert at the convention center was awesome 💜 And it was my first con where I went multiple days in a row!!
