Post Puddle 2015

Apparently Puddle is always something of a mess... We didn't get any notifications about when everything started and ended this year... which was a pain but we got everything figured out.  Mom was a mess cus some creepy car noise started when we got to Chicago, luckily it wasn't a big deal, she took it to an auto center while the sis and I watched the booth.  They had a really cool "mingling" activity this year, we designed a doll with a group of people while in line for our door prize, which was fun, the doll we designed was pretty cool.  I would have liked to see what everyone had done though... so yea.  We won the item from the raffle I wanted so I'm pretty stoked.

I always have a hard time with the attitudes, the desire to continually have the newest and the greatest doll pisses me off.  It really flies in the face of my desire to be creative and do stuff with my dolls.  There is such a big deal about keeping this doll exactly like it was... and I'm just not into that.  It's one of the reasons the Mega meet is way more my speed.  And since it went later this time, I was really tired of it by the time it was done.  I really feel that having it be shorter would be way better.... but they just -milk- it.  But whatever.  Friday was a blast... We all had a blast, I got to do some swimming and there was an Indian wedding party staying at the hotel so there was so much pretty stuff to look at.  I sold a necklace and we sold 6 coats, plus the outfit with Keely, so that was awesome.  All in all.  Good times.  Not super sure what we'll do about next year, sounds like we wanna drive up that day, do puddle, then chill the next day rather than the day we drive in... we'll see when we get closer to the day.

The mega meetup is in Chicago this year and I'm both irritated and happy about that.  Bad news:  It's in Chicago.  This means that the trip is going to be long, we're going to have to deal with the damn construction again, and we have to deal with the Friggin toll ways.  I hate toll ways.  Good News:  We can go to Mitsuwa again.  IDK, I really like going there, I didn't enjoy myself as much this time cus I was really wound up. So, at least I get another chance at their fud.  Cus god damn their food is good.  But that's not for another month and some time.  So we'll have to see how that goes.
