Angelspit and Lords of Acid at DNA Lounge in San Francisco, Peeping Tom Adventures with Amelia

So I just realized that by making this post today, you’ll see Amelia’s face 3 times on my blog’s homepage, thereby making me a total creeper. Well, I don’t care. Let the creeping begin! These pictures are from when Angelspit played the DNA Lounge in San Francisco.

Q Pop Grand Opening Party, Bar Sinister, Idiot Shoes

Last January, we drove down to LA for the grand opening party at Q Pop, a supercute shop and art gallery that carries the most adorable Japanese clothing, accessories, and handmade goods. The store was so ridiculously packed that it ended up turning into a colorful outdoor street party. So much fun!

Me, Kerli, Tess, Katt and Kaila

With Bebe, Laura, and Kevin. This is my “I’m having fun” face.

Sarah and Matt’s Engagement Party at Bubble Lounge

My sister Sarah got married on Wednesday, so that probably means I should post the pics from her engagement party last December, right? :-D

Matt proposed to Sarah at the Cliff House. It was supposed to be a surprise, but I think she was suspicious when he wore a suit, booked a super nice hotel, and told her to pack her bags for the weekend. (She said yes anyway). Afterward, he took her to the Bubble Lounge, where there was a surprise party waiting. That time, smarty pants was genuinely surprised.

Sisters in birth order: Lisa, Sarah, me

Hella Gay and How to Make Creeps Go Away

It had been ages since we last went out dancing, so Jade, Tess and I decided to make a quick stop at Hella Gay one night. I stay “quick stop” because Jade is a huge grandma who likes to be home and in bed by midnight.

Jessica’s Birthday Party at Cinebar

Jessica came home for her birthday and wanted to celebrate at Dave & Busters in Milpitas. If you grew up in Milpitas like we did, you’ll understand the love/hate relationship we all have with that place. The food is terrible, the drinks are weak and overpriced, it’s located inside of a MALL, and the creepy male to cute female ratio is about 500 to 1. But every few years someone will feel nostalgic (usually Jessica), so we’ll go back for some good old-fashioned ghetto fun.

The only thing sadder than going to Dave & Busters is trying to go to Dave & Busters and not being able to get in. They wouldn’t accept Kevin’s ID because it had JUST expired, which is hilarious because at 41 he was the oldest out of all of us! We crowded around and tried to rally for his age (”Look at his white hair! See? He’s soooo old!”) but that didn’t work. While loitering in the parking lot trying to figure out where to go next, a drunk guy asked Irene if she was Nicki Minaj (being Chinese and all, they look exactly alike), and another guy came up to tell us, “You girls sure are funny looking.” So yeah, that’s a pretty accurate sampling of the type of guys who hang out at Dave & Busters.

We went to Cinebar in downtown San Jose instead.

Sanrio Kitty in Pink ’80s Retro Prom Party!

Sanrio closed their 50th anniversary celebration with one of their best parties yet, “Kitty in Pink” Retro Prom. I love all the Sanrio parties, but this one was especially awesome because everyone went all out with the ridiculous outfits! My friends ain’t afraid to get stoopid silly. Several times throughout the night, I’d be looking at what I thought was the ugliest outfit I’d ever seen. Then an even worse one (not naming names, but Jenny Rae, ahem!) would walk by. I was constantly amazed. And the hair… all the crunchy HAIR! The party reeked of Aquanet, and hugging all those big crunchy heads was no easy task.

Leia, Chrissa, Onch, Stephiee, Liz, Bebe, Laura, Robyn, me, Jenny Rae (No, Jenny Rae, nooooooo!!!). Front: Kimi

Sanrio “I Heart Nerds” 50th Anniversary Loungefly Party

As part of their 50th anniversary celebration, Sanrio threw an “I Heart Nerds” party in collaboration with Bubble Punch, and sponsored by Loungefly. I didn’t have time to plan my outfit beforehand, so we stopped by a Goodwill on the way to the party. I had 15 minutes to grab myself the ugliest pair of pastel purple elastic high-waist pants I could find, a stuffy long-sleeved blouse with a high neck, and a brown tapestry fanny pack.
