Back

I can see a stay sitting at a cafe opposite, and a few stay have walked past, but they didn't seem aware of the skz connection.

...

BUT. Met some stay on the tram on the way here, shared my #skzFNF locations map with them, and they just came up as I was writing this ... But one of them is gluten intolerant, and this place only sells gluten foods.

Anyway they said that earlier today there was a line down the block of stay wanting the Channie's bagel place experience. So: I have good timing??

Saw a stay with lots of bead bracelets and danglers, asked them where they go to buy beads, got the advice. #skzFriendshipBracelets

Then they asked who my bias is. I said #Seungmin, but they'd run out of Seungmin items, so they gave me a CHAN bracelet. #BangChan

My first fandom-related friendship bracelet!!

I am far more delighted by it than I expected to be.

I also got: lots of supplies to make beaded items for next week's #skzDominateSydney, some earrings, long rainbow shoelaces for my Timberlands (the current ones are too short), and a bottle of water.

The water bottle is solely to keep the lid, for smuggling in to any future concerts. Because if you buy a bottle of water at the venue, they take the lid off and you're not allowed to keep it. Some of the people around us had come prepared with their own lids.

I don't know why they confiscate the lids. Curious to learn.

had a quick look online and can't figure out if there's somewhere near me that I can buy a bag like this in time to take it to Sydney on Friday. may go out again some time tomorrow, but it's too late and I'm too tired to go out again today.

@lookitmychicken I'm pretty sure I've seen an entire store of ita bags in the Town Hall Station arcade... in case that will be somewhere on your route in Sydney!

@neohysteria no idea, I'm not very familiar with Sydney. but if I'm unable to find anything in Melbourne, I will remember your sage advice

@Musicappreciator7 They're both 13 cm wide. Wolf Chan is 26 cm tall, and PuppyM is a little shorter.

@lookitmychicken this plush is about those same dimensions

@lookitmychicken this bag doesn't have a handle but there is a plastic bit at the top that if you're crafty I think you could feed a piece of ribbon through to make a handle

@Musicappreciator7 oh okay, that could work! I am (relatively) crafty and could probably figure it out

@lookitmychicken we can meet up Wednesday and I can give it to you, or if you prefer I can just bring it to my office tomorrow and you can come by and collect it when you want (during business hours of course)
