romyraSaturday August 2nd 2008 was Club Anime City, and what a day it turned out to be. My parents spent the night with me so that they could carry us to the new venue for the show. I didn't sleep a wink 'cause my dad snores ridiculously loud and I have a one bedroom apartment. We were awakened at midnight for my brother to tell us that he just hit the family van and the tire broke off. It wasn't like the last call when he called to say he flipped the van so my parents didn't panic....but it was hard to go back to sleep after that call. When my alarm rang at 3 am I couldn't believe it. I got ready and laurapetri called at 4.15 am to say that she had now woken up and was getting ready. I was supposed to pick her up at 4.30 am so that was why she called. Lol. wicked_liz called around that same time to say the she couldn't make it as she was feeling nauseated and didn't think she should venture out. It was disappointing but dread understandable. Anyway I got down by laurapetri at about 4.40am and she asked me to wait for a while while she finished getting ready. At about 5.am or so she came back to say that she couldn't find the tickets and asked if I wanted to help. Dread that was a no brainer and together we looked for about 25 - 30 mins. We finally found them after frantic searching and was able to head up the road to Ambassador Hotel. The comedy of errors continued as we made our way to St. James as we got lost (I still can't believe it) and circled around twice before we made it to St. James. I can just hear the Benny Hill music in the background, but I wasn't laughing then at all. I was panicky and annoyed that we got lost. Then to make matters worse when we did reach we didn't go up the hill fast enough and I might have snapped a bit. To make matters even more worse we didn't need to panic as there wasn't a big crowd and we got good positions in the line. We didn't get to clear out the mall like last time but we did get some good stuff.
The playlist was ok not overly great as previous shows but watchable. The highlight of the day was the Naruto Shippudden movie where we swore there was going to be violence when the attendant took off the movie before the credits rolled. She had to put it back on and then she didn't put on the subtitles...oh god the cries of outrage were hilarious and I almost expected chairs to start flying. That made the movie the best part of the day.
We left after 5 pm and decided that we had enough time to go see The Dark Knight again and maybe even get some Sushi. We walked almost all the way back to Port of Spain as we were talking and re-hashing the day. We made it down, traveled to Movietowne bought our tickets for the late show and went for Sushi. The second viewing was just as good as the first and although we were exhausted after 11pm we were also happy. I dropped everyone back home and crawled into bed after 1 am on Sunday morning.
Final Verdict....An exhausting, frantic and yet exhilarating day!
