It still hasn't kicked in that it's August already! Yesterday, I went to
Mitsuwa Marketplace in Chicago for their
summer festival~ It was super fun since I live about 2 hours away so it's always a trip full of spending money on stuff! I think the exchange rate is not so good right now *sobs* (according to google, 1 Japanese yen = 0.0127 US dollars) so I spent a lot of money in the bookstore. To add to the pain, Chicago has like the highest sales tax in the USA: 9.5%!!!
(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) But I love buying manga and Japanese magazines and such in person so it was totally worth it! (I think) It was super hot from 1pm to 4pm but then there was a severe weather alert! So we went to a nearby mall (with the help of a local friend) to chill until it the storminess was over. I don't trust myself to drive back home in that weather. And we ended up just hanging out there until we had to leave~
(〜￣▽￣)〜
Here are some pics from the festival!

Do you know about
Guilt | Pleasure? This is a BL group that does yaoi manga. It consists of Jo Chen/TogaQ (one of my favorite artists of all time! Check out her Buffy comic cover illustrations!) and Kichiku Neko (writer). You have to show your ID in order to buy BL/yaoi manga magazines since they're 18+! Otherwise, stick to buying your guy on guy manga online...
