  1. Oh man I hope they put out a cd of the dj battle. I won’t be able to make it but I bet the whole event will be awesome!

  2. I didn’t get to go last year, I really hope I can go this year! & I didn’t know Kozue & Ikura would be there! OMG. Now I really wanna go. But it would probably be really difficult getting their autographs/photographs with them without the $100 donation VIP pass, wouldn’t it? D: & I wanna meet NyanC!

  3. I wish they had Vocaloid-related events on the east coast. Everything seems to be all the way across the country. :<
