I'm at #HappyTown #Kpop Cafe.

It's opening week. It is busy and LOUD.

Also they have SOLD OUT of #Seungmin cookies (I asked), what is this INJUSTICE.

Or maybe it's justice because Seungmin deserves to sell out

(They still have cookies for the rest of #skz)

Currently playing a bunch of #ATEEZ videos on a large-ish screen at the back of the cafe.

I'm not feeling bold enough to take any selfies next to the life-size photos of #BangChan & #Felix.

(They have life-size photos of all the Australian idols, and more emphasis on groups that include Australians)

I didn't take any photos of the wall of Australian idols because there were people sitting at tables directly in front of them, and it would've seemed rude I think

Went to their merch store afterwards (on a separate floor). Also very busy & loud. There was an area for social gatherings, and 8 or 10 people were sitting around playing #skz videos, chair dancing, showing each other their precious treasures & squealing a lot.

I bought a skz keychain and a tin with transit card stickers & photo cards in it.

I felt kinda out of place being there on my own, to be honest. And a lot older than most of the clientele.

But! There were a couple of other people considering the #skz tin I'd decided to buy, & wondering about the quality of the photo cards.

So I told them to wait a moment, bought the tin myself, then I opened it and we looked through the cards together.

That was good.

I also seriously considered buying the #skzUno deck, but have not yet done so.

Okay I'm already regretting not buying #skzUno. next time!

@lookitmychicken take up your space chickeny! and whoever judges you, bye. but don't make yourself smaller for people who don't know better!

@yesterdaychild ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't feel judged or unwelcome, not really.

Mostly just like the spaces weren't designed to cater to me personally.

I'm okay with that, I think. I don't have to be centered. As long as they'll let me in & take my money, it's okay. 😊
