Dear Petty & Booka: Great "final show" of the tour at Knitting Factory Hollywood! Great party to end it, too. Happy to meet you & hope you like the Sun Records guitar picks! haha. Your new album is fine - I enjoy the harmonies on "Look for the silver lining" very much! Dewa Mata... George Ojisan.
Konnichiwa!! Hajimemashite?? I LOVED your show. It was Shibui!! Ha I loved your cowboy boots too. so cute. Arigato for taking the picture with me. PLEASE COME BACK TO CALIFORNIA!! またあとで会いましょう！
I saw you for the first time in Denver! You were so great and suppa cho cho kawaii!! When you said, "this is our last song of the night" the crowd went "awwwww" like "awwww, no, don't stop playing" It was also funny because one girl in the crowd said, "Oooooh, SO CUTE!!" and the audience laugh because it was funny. She couldn't help herself to say, "So cute". Petty Booka has a lot of appeal!!
This is a photo with my friend Mio: I spoke to the cute girl on the right. She was so nice and sweet!! I said to her, "thank you for coming, and I enjoyed the performance!" I also said, "Sorry my Japanese is not better, I will study Japanese hard so we can talk more next time!" She replied: "I study English hard, too!!" Heh, it was so cute! Oh, and I said "she was cho Kawaii!" And she said, "Thank you!" in her cute Japanese voice. hahaha.
I think I have a big crush on her now! *^^*
I wanted to speak with the other girl, but I became too shy!! ><
Please come back to Denver! I forgot my troubles and let myself go. It was so fun and unforgettable night for me!! I'll never forget it!!
I was sad you had to leave! It reminded me of the time my mother said she wanted to go live with Marry Poppins as a kid. Haha. She saw the movie, and it was so magical to her that she felt sad she couldn't be around Marry Poppins more and live with her! Just like your show was magical to me, I didn't want to leave it!
