~12:30pm arrived at go go curry, walked around a bit, it was a nice day outside. after some minutes bitmap arrived and we ate curry and then went to karaoke (got there at around... 1:15? I think. or 1:30)

sang all the love live songs that were on the machine (35 of them I think, and realizing that after like the first ~20, I don't know some of them well enough to actually sing but I tried anyway) and then some other anime and ended at around 8pm with love live s1 ED

10am went with family to visit cemetery. it was raining. played some bravely default on the subway and car rides

2pm arrived at karaoke place, except it turns out everyone was late anyway so I walked over to port authority because I don't know how else to waste time and that is one public place where I would not feel bad about loitering (plus it was raining outside)

~2:45 went back to karaoke and met up with fc. karaoke was good, sang all the Love Live songs I had looked up, and then tried another one that I didn't think would be on the machines (wonderful rush), but it was there. So then I realized the karaoke machine that the place had was the type that had a lot more songs than the one we thought it was. spent time looking up more love live songs with the limited internet access (the place is underground so reception is pretty bad); fc mostly sang kyary songs

at some point hflw arrived with his good 4g and generous wi-fi tethering and all was good. blu also arrived later and bitmap even more later (~6ish?). we were in a small room for 4 people so they didn't charge him. they had the actual videos for the mikakunin songs which was neat. bitmap and I ended it with an improvised version of the love live ED which I very much appreciated. I also forgot to get the stampcard stamped, but not really a big deal since we always do karaoke marathon and rarely have a use for one free hour

~8pm took the subway to a bonchon but it was the wrong one so we walked in the rain. blu stopped at a hotdog stand and we just left him. eventually met up with a bunch of other people at the bonchon near go go curry and it was good (chicken, okonomiyaki, fries). some discussion on kawaii rice cookers and about drinking

subways were pretty annoying, didn't realize R trains weren't going to Jay St. so transferring was weird except then it helped me realize that there was an exit on the 42nd st times square station that was actually not that far away from where I needed to go, so I guess in the future I don't really even need to make any transfers to get up there

arrived at gogocurry at about 1pm, fc and a ton of other people were there. I was expecting barely anyone to be there but I think it ended up being like 15+ people and I don't feel like naming everyone (also I didn't actually know most of them). I guess some of them were here for nycc. anyway later bitmap, lily, and easynam arrived and we all went into the restaurant at the same time and ordered curry and stood outside waiting for everyone.

went over to bryant park and ate there. bitmap easynam and I drew for a bit. also those pigeons are barely afraid of anything, even compared to most other pigeons I have seen. then we all headed over to a starbucks and sat around for a while and then went to nintendo world where a lot of them bought the new pokemon game. there was also some free stuff (foldable pokemon visor hat things with pictures of the starter pokemon, and some posters). hflw arrived when we were heading out.

walked over to book off and looked around for a while. they moved some things around since last time, I had no idea where the old CDs section used to be (or if it even existed)

sat down at a place near book-off and josh and some other people went back to nintendo world to exchange his x version for y because he didn't like the deer legendary. drew a bit (other people played their pokemon) and then

went to new wonjo for dinner. actually saw someone from college at the entrance though I don't think he remembered my name but that's fine. ate food and then bitmap easynam and I went to port authority where bitmap took his bus (except actually he missed it and waited for the next one) and easynam and I walked around to find a place to sit and draw and ended up going to the nearby starbucks.

work. a lot of people were out today. 3 of us went to glaze for lunch

noon, met with @yuyushikis (aka bitmapchaos and many other names) @yuyuko_saigyoji and @nazrinufo at port authority and then went to go go curry as usual

went to starbucks, looked through yuyu's pixiv artbook purchased from kinokuniya, then did some draws.

we decided to go to karaoke duet (nazrinufo had to leave), but I didn't look up new songs beforehand nor did I bring my kindle with most of the lyrics on it so I mostly sang old songs. @daughterofnai arrived at some point

went to menkui-tei (midtown) and got mabo ramen. it was gooooooood

we stopped by halal guys and bitmap got some food to bring home

all the trains at the 50th st station were uptown only so I walked over to the times square station

watched oreshura ep7, gj-bu ep6

browsed stackoverflow

12pm took subway to manhattan, played some more eo4 demo. Mostly airship stuff

1pm met with @ephshi @catplanetcuties (formerly @8bmp or @bitmapchaos or... whatever it was previously) @hflw @lilypichu

after eating, walked over to karaoke duet 53, got there at like 2pm

I sang a ton of vocaloid songs pretty much. @equinoxrocks and chris arrived at some later time (I think at about 6:30?). Ended with Last Night Good Night, after which it felt like my voice was dying

we went to ny beer company for dinner; the chicken flatbread thing I ordered was huge (didn't get beer though because I don't drink). A bunch of other people showed up including @zzgzzpop @afrostevekun @yyr_ @mattostrofsky and uhh I don't remember everyone. There was also some collaborative drawing times in my sketchbook
