Sanrio’s Hello Kitty 50th Anniversary Pop-up Tour

I must have grown out of Sanrio stuff but when I came here it did bring back memories. Characters are still cute as ever! I really enjoyed all the paintings and original artworks that were displayed all around the room. If only I had some extra cash, I would’ve have bought some prints. At least I got some cute pictures to put on my Iphone!
Minus 2 stars for the small venue and $ 10 parking fee. Hopefully next time they will have more stuff. Not to say that it didn’t already but for $ 10, we had to make our way around the venue a couple of times to get our money’s worth.

This was the coolest event ever!
Where else can you go to be surrounding with Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters in massive form?
Unfortunately things in the Small Gift store are really pricey!
But… once in a while it’s good to splurge!!!

I can’t say this enough… but this was LEGEND– … wait for it… –DARY!!! Really it was.
It was held at the Barker Hanger at the Santa Monica Airport. There were designated lots for the event and it cost $ 10. At the entrance you were greeted by a blown up ‘rainbow’… but as you pass through the doors the sight was amazing. Off the roof were hanging GIANT character heads, mini golf course, ferris wheel, carnival games, food trucks, craft area… OMG I need to breathe! :p
First thing I did was take a tour around… just soaking up the event. Next I stood in line to go into the gift shop. That was awesome… felt like a little girl who was bout to spend all her allowance. After that I took an adorable picture with Badtz Maru… got my face painted… played games… walked around the BESTEST artwork (everything had to do w/​HELLO KITTY)…
Then just took more pictures.
I was so happy… and I think it showed cause my honee (who took me… who got bonus points and a big kiss) said my chinese eyes looked so big… lol… :)

Hello Kitty happiness! Yay! Ever since the day I heard about the Sanrio’s 50^th anniversary pop-​up tour, I knew I wanted to go and check it out. I finally got the chance to go today! Yay!
It was the last day of the Sanrio event at the Barker Hangar and I figured that it may not be as busy as the others since it was the last day. The event opens at 10am and my friend and I got there around 9:50. There were two Smart Cars parked outside and we took photos of those. There was already a line forming in front but it wasn’t too bad. They let us into the venue around 10:10. The first thing that the guy at the front told everyone was that if we wanted to go to the Pop Up Shop, we should go right away because it would get busy later. This was probably the best advice that anyone could have given. Ahh I was actually going to skip the pop up shop because of the stories of 2 hour waits but I guess coming early paid off because we got in line for the pop up store and were in the shop in less than 10 minutes! Being in there brought back memories of my childhood days of visiting the Sanrio store. There were lots of cute items and my basket filled up quickly. I narrowed down my purchase in line though and left happily with some very kawaii Hello Kitty items.
My friend and I then went around and took pictures in the various photo opp places. There were two other Smart Cars, the famous Yogurtland cup and various Sanrio cutouts. Hello Kitty herself was walking around and we luckily got a photo with her.
We then made our way to the Art Gallery. Similar to last year’s Hello Kitty’s 35^th birthday, there were various art pieces featured. It was really awesome. There was an art piece made of jelly beans. There was a picture of My Melody without her hat on. There was a Hello Kitty water cooler. Ahh I was half way afraid my camera would go out from all the photos I took of the art gallery alone :). There were so many great and cute art pieces.
We then decided to check out the food trucks. There were five trucks present this time. You had your choices of Korean, Filipino, Indian, Argentinian and American. My friend and I chose to get food from the Ludo Truck ( Unilocal review coming soon).
The rest of the day consisted of us checking out the rest of the venue. The big Sanrio balloons on the ceiling, the miniature golf course and Ferris wheel were also cute things to see. The carnival games and craft area were cool. Who knew I could knock over 3 milk bottles and win a cute pink hello kitty eraser board. At the craft area, I made myself one of the sand character drawings. I also wanted to get a caricature drawing but the artist wasn’t there that day.
One of my favorite spots was the photo place where we got to dress up as our favorite Sanrio character. I chose to be Hello Kitty of course hehe.
My friend and I were out of there in a 3 ½ hours. It was a truly awesome day! I’m so glad that we got to go around and see everything. My biggest fear was long lines but since we came early, this was not an issue at all.
Yay Hello Kitty. I am definitely one hello kitty happy girl :).

I left the event happy that I experienced this while it was here. But unlike many Sanrio fans, memories of my middle school years owning a Kerokerokeroppi pencil case and Pochacco photo wallets didn’t exactly rush back. In fact, my only nostalgic tie to Sanrio is My Melody… it’s my sister’s favorite character. (my sister’s name is Melody) So really, I enjoy Sanrio because it makes me think about one of my most favorite people! :)
Except I was unable to attend this event with said favorite person on the day she decided to go. (damn allergies!) But I was happy to find a friend willing to check it out with me today.
We entered the Barker Hanger and my attention was drawn directly to the giant ballons of Sanrio characters up above our heads. Cool! When my attention went back down to eye level, all I saw was this amazingly long line. Amazingly long! I’m talking wrapping-​almost-​more-​than-​half-​way-​around-​the-​hanger long! It was so long we couldn’t even figure out what the line was for.
We worked the event counter-​clockwise from the entrance. Sand art, screen printing, food trucks, arcade, green screen photo op, ferris wheel, carnival games… we passed thru all of that in about 8 mins. Then we hit the art gallery.
Ahhh, the art gallery! This is where I got picture happy. This is where I saw a lot of interesting works of art which integrated Sanrio characters. I seriously uploaded 21 photos for this event… ALL from the art gallery!
I’d like to give a special mention to the Fight Club inspired posters (
and
) and Fight Club soap (
) «First rule about Sanrio, nobody talks about Sanrio!»
We spent a good 30 – 40 minutes in the gallery then proceeded counter-​clockwise around the hanger. Took a picture in the Hello Kitty Smart Car, then spotted the entrance to the Pop-​Up Shop. Oh snap! That’s what the amazingly long line is for. That is what takes about an hour to get into.
Uh, yeah… no thanks.
We made a quick 2^nd round of the event then headed out. Total time spent at the Sanrio festival = 1 hour and 30 minutes. This includes the 10 minute walk from the parking lot and another 10 walking back to the car.
Final opinion: Cool event! May have been more fun to bring a niece or young relative who can enjoy the carnival games, arts & crafts, mini golf, and such. Not worth my time to wait an hour to shop but even with the $ 10 parking, the price was right to see some really cool things.

«Yes, we are here for the kitty.»
We responded to the parking attendant that ripped us for $ 10. I thought it was worth it though because the entire event was free and they had a lot of interesting, cutesy things inside. My girlfriend’s a big fan of «the kitty» but I only knew a few Sanrio characters. There was a lot of «take-​a-​picture» things with people lining up for it. Even Yogurtland and Beard Papa’s had stands there with cute-​ified Sanrio characters. Lots of food trucks, Ludo Bites was there too. Carnival festivities were small and aimed more at little children. The most interesting thing to do there, in my opinion, was viewing the art gallery, some of which were amazing and very well-​made. I’m a big fan of the oil paintings and wood frames selling anywhere between $ 75 to $ 8,000. I’d purchase one if I had the money to blow. But regardless, Happy 50^th Birthday Hello Kitty!

This definitely brought out the little girl in me! Totally brought back memories of how I used to spend so much $$$$$ in sanrio stores for SUPER CUTE stuff!
There were carnival games and crafts that ranged from $ 2 to $ 10 (1 to 5 tickets). Even if you lose, you still get a consolation prize! The game that is most worth it (if you win) is the Tuxedosam Bowtie game. It’s like Plinko on the Price is Right. The first place prize is a nice plastic tote bag with all the characters on it. After spending around $ 20 on games, I ended up with a plastic tote, a plastic cup, a keychain, a fan, a poster, a miniature character, a coloring book, a marker board.
A man in front of us for the ring toss game won two (yes, not 1 but 2!!) hello kitty «snuggies» because he got the ring around the one orange post on the entire board. I wasn’t even able to get one out of the entire board of posts!
The line to the pop up shop was from one side of the hanger ALL THE WAY to the other side of the hanger, and that’s after it coiled a few times. It didn’t look like it was worth the wait.
The place is kind of small and the games and crafts are more suitable for kids. But if you’re like me and you are a kid at heart, you’ll fit right in!
There’s also photo ops with hello kitty herself and hello kitty smart cars!
The food trucks I saw: Flying Pig, Boba Truck and The Hungry Nomad. Of course, there was also Beard Papas and Yogurtland!
Parking: $ 10. I’m so used to paying for parking in LA that I don’t even notice the how expensive it is until I saw other people complaining in their review.

How are some people giving this place 5 stars!!! it makes no sense.
Although i was dragged here against my will, im still able to keep an objective view of how an event is put together.
First of all, i went here on a WED, which there were barely anyone inside. After $ 10 parking across the street, walked over to the hangar…
Looked pretty cool at the start… then you realize how lame and cheap everything is done. There really isnt much to do here. The only cool thing is the artwork gallery… but they had all those at the Royal/​T thing a few months back.
The gift store. tiny, lack of selection… youre better off going to the Sanrio store at the mall.
The games… reminds me of high school fundraisers. Looks like kids made some booths up at the last second, and made games out of them.
The food… beard papa, i love you. Food trucks… meh… they didnt have any of the good ones.
Stuff for the kids to do: Ferris wheel, tiny, squeaks, would not gamble my life on it… hell no you will never find me sitting on that thing. Craftwork… yeh, kids love everything dont they?
In conclusion, I live about 5 minutes from this place… so it was interesting for me to just go and take pics with the lady-​friend. But if i had to wait in line for ANYTHING or pay money for ANYTHING in this event, i would be pissed off.
LIKES: No wait on a weeknight, free event. Art Gallery is pretty cool.
DISLIKES: Looks very amateur. Theres nothing to really do here. Store sucks. The Hello Kitty walking around taking pics with people is as disappointing as when you see a chinese guy playing santa at the mall… the dude is FREAKIN SKINNY… its not even cute… why would anyone want to take a pic with that thing?
VERDICT: If you live close-​by, its something interesting to see. If you live far away, stay FAR AWAY! If you come, come on a weeknight, not friday… I would kill myself if i had to wait in line for anything here.
We spent maybe 15 – 20 minutes total, in and out… no lines, nothing… but there was nothing to do…

So i had bribed dude with a pork belly bun to get the in the car with me for photo op!
Free entrance gets you into a hello kitty extravaganza!!!
But– you have to pay 10 bucks for parking, unless your a cheapie like me and finds street parking a 10 min walk away.
But– you have to wait in line 1 – 2 hours for almost everything and all the activities were not free.
I waited 2 hours patiently (poor dude) with Jenny B for the gift shop. It definitely wasn’t worth the wait, but i had to buy something after wasting 2 hours, so i got a cute red T and cutie lunchbox. Luckily the line to the cashier was short.
I spotted ludo truck but was too late and got there when they were already changing trucks, so we got flying pig. Wanted to try Beard Papa strawberry and Yogurtland RV batter, but figured i could just get them another day, since it wasn’t exclusive to the event.
Fun filled event, but a bigger venue would have been much better suited to spread out all the activities and a bigger shop space to avoid the horrendous lines.
Thanks Greg K for the heads up on the event info and posting all those pics!
also, i came across the most fancy porter potty ever! :
my fave artwork i saw :
*event still going on until ¹¹⁄₂₁
whatever happened to hello daniel?

HK, how do I love thee. Let me count the ways…
I am enjoyed every minute that was there except for the VERY long lines going in the barker (opening) and going in the gift shop. Decent size for an exhibit. Would love to come back again before it ends on the 21^st!

Hello my name is Lily and I am a Sanrio-​aholic. It all started at the ripe age of 5 … with my first Hello Kitty pencil and eraser… which later became a Hello Kitty pen, then I had to get the pencil case and the cute markers to complete my pencil case set! Then Keroppi came into my life and I was hooked… I wore the tshirts, had the PJs… had the jewelry box… notepads, drinking cups, toothbrush, hair accessories. You name it, I most likely had it!
And then I grew up… still had my jewelry box and plush dolls, but all stored in a box. I still have my old school My Melody scissors that I use for my knitting stuff. But I am not as addicted to it like when I was younger. However, when I saw this event listed on Unilocal… I just had to check it out.
I actually went to the pop up tour at UTC in La Jolla and it was awesome! Check out the coolest truck ever:
But the event at the Barker Hanger… A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
All my memories as a kid with Hello Kitty came rushing back to me and I was in «Little Girl Heaven»!! Plus if you’re a dad and your aiming to be the best dad in the world and you have a Hello Kitty Crazed Kid, you should bring them to the event.
From Hello Kitty store to putt putt to carnival games to sand art to shrink-​a-​dinks! It is fun for all ages!
It’s free to get in. It’s free to enter the pop up shop. It’s free to wait in lines that will knock your knees off and it’s free to take pictures with Hello Kitty and friends.
It’s not free to park nearby ($ 10). It’s not free to play putt putt ($ 6 a game/​person). It’s not free to do sand art ($ 2 a person). It’s not free to do shrink-​a-​dink ($ 2). It’s not free to buy stuff from the pop up shop ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$).
Even though the coolest headband ever was not free ($ 30)
Taking a picture with it on was free:
Overall, I had 8 hours of sheer Hello Kitty Happiness! Yes… I was there for 8 hours, don’t judge!

I found out that there were HUGE lines for everything over the weekend so we decided to attend after school on Monday as opposed to waiting till Saturday. So glad we did. We hit pretty much all the games booths, activities, and the store in about an hour and a half. I think it would have taken a good part of the day had we waited till the weekend. Tickets are $ 2 each, most games/​activities cost 1 or 2 tickets. There were not a lot of variety in the store merchandise, I heard the line to get in there was over an hour during the weekend. Would have been nice to not have parking fees, since you spend a LOT inside! Overall a fun time.

My guy friend drove us to the event and when we got to the parking lot, the attendant said, «…What’re you doing here???» (srsly, lol +1star)
The event was what I expected — it reminded me of the Hello Kitty pop-​up event at Royal/​T. Though the event was free, everything else cost money in the form of tickets ($ 2 each!). Everything was so-​and-​so tickets much and there were lines everywhere, especially for the pop-​up store (I heard you can buy all the merch online anyway).
Activities ranged from crafts to midway games, where you could win Sanrio prizes, which I admit were very adorable. As for crafts, I made colored this tag which shrunk half the size and made for a cool souvenir. The art gallery was really cool; it was like Sanrio x MOMA. For food there were snacks (Beard Papa’s, Yogurtland, churros) and rotating food trucks throughout the day.
The event was worth seeing and enjoying with your friends but doesn’t warrant a second visit.

Why hello there gigantic hello kitty balloon head. How do you do?
Why hello there hello kitty smart car #1, 2, and 3. How do you do?
Why hello there gigantic yogurtland cup. How do you do?
OMG this event really made me so excited about being a girl and reliving my childhood. Basically everything that you could want at a Sanrio 50^th event was here.
I think that the most exciting part for my friends and I were all the picture ops located around the hanger. «Hi ma’am, would you mind taking a picture of me and my friend?» Yes… I probably asked around 10 strangers to take my picture. Annoying for you? The answer is yes. But enjoyable for myself? Definitely yes. Now I have like a bazillion pictures of me and every Sanrio memorabilia ever invented in the world. Hahah.
I didn’t do any of the arts & crafts because the lines were too long and at that point I was just not having any more of this waiting in line business. I did however play two booth games to try and win that cute tote bag. Total fail! I did however get some fans & sanrio cups. GRRRR. I totally envy all you people walking around with that 50^th anniversary tote bag. Damn plinko game.
I really enjoyed all of the art work located next to the pop up shop. These pieces really were Ahhhhmaazing. Too bad everything cost +$ 100… I did love that my melody pic with her ears off. Soo sad… but still really adorable ^_​^
The worst part was absolutely that damn line for the pop up gift shop. Seriously people? TWO HOURS!!! That was soooooooooooo SOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO insane!!! I can’t believe I actually stood in line for that long. And in the end I only bought 3 things. Two for my friends & one for myself. I’m not even sure I like the thing I bought for myself that much, but because I stood in line for so long I figured I might as well buy something to justify that line. I don’t know about other people, but I wasn’t impressed by the items in that shop and I could have totally skipped out on it and spent more time trying to win that tote bag. GRRRRR.
Parking is $ 10 but if you want to save money then park outside of the airport and do your body good with a little walk.
All-​in-​all I thought the event was super fun and even more fun whn you’re with Sanrio fanatics. My only qualm was waiting in line for 2 hours and not finding anything that great. And just all the lines in general. I felt like I was in disneyland but here if you’re not careful you could be waiting in a line for something other than that you wanted.
YIPPIE HK!

Came here two days in a row, Saturday (with Michelle T) and Sunday (with Lily A & Zeela). Thanks to Greg K, I learnt that you could park on the street, a bit of walk about 10mins, but I think it’s worth saving $ 10, unless you’re carpooling with 3 – 4 people. Entrance is free, but everything else you got to pay, except taking pictures with characters and photo ops location.
I got in around 1pm on Saturday, the lines to the gift shop was horrendous, 2 hours waiting, and when I thought that was bad, when I got there on Sunday, I pitied those people who were waiting in line outside the hangar, it would at least take them 2.5hours, possibly more, just to get to the pricey «small gift» shop.
Some items in the store actually can be found at regular Sanrio stores, but there are some collectibles items that maybe not be available at the store. As you know, collectibles means money, so most of the items are at least $ 30 and up for those. The great thing about this shop, if you live in my era, they brought back the older characters such as Maroon Cream, Tuxedosam, Zashiki buta, Kerokerokeroppi, Pochaco, My Melody, Shinkansen, and Little Twin Star. I was bummed that I didn’t see Minna no Tabo.
Anyhow, some of the activities were ranges from $ 2 (1ticket) to $ 10 (5tickets). The best souvenir you can get was the sand drawing of Hello Kitty, but the line for that was the same as gift shop, average 2−3hours, but I guess for $ 2, you can understand why, it’s the cheapest one other than penny press machine (51cents). The most expensive one was the caricature for 5 tickets.
The art displays were great, there were so many cute graphics that you would wish you own them at home, such as the Last Supper Sanrio style, or the old classic sanrio characters drawing of Hello Kitty and Keroppi.
My tip to those who are going there: ALWAYS line up for the gift shop first if you intend to buy anything for souvenir or collection, then you can continue with other things. If you’re hungry, get to the back of the hangar to get some food from the food trucks that are assigned that day and then line up. When you see the line reaches the back of the hangar, that means it would take u at least 2.5hours, from the point where you saw pink Hello Kitty smart car, it would take at least 1.5hours, so you could estimate when you see it for yourself.
I’m surprised to see lots of Mommies with strollers in this event, I think they’re reminiscing their days when they were so into these Sanrio characters. Many people also dressed up with Hello Kitty shirts and costumes. Pretty cute.
All in all, I think I’m very satisfied with what they have, but not really deserving 5 stars in the sense that they should limit on how long a person spends in the sand-​drawing, but since they didn’t, people can take more than 15−30mins just finish the drawing and the allocation capacity was for 18 people, so a lot of people were pretty worn out to wait in total of at least 4 hours just to do 2 activities. Otherwise, this event was really great, especially for Hello Kitty and Sanrio lovers.

«Are you here for the Kitty?»
That comment from the parking guy threw me off so much, I felt obligated to pay the $ 10. This was probably the biggest downer of the day, but at least the event is FREE!
Once you enter the Barker Hanger, you’re greeted by crowds and crowds of HK fans, giant floating heads of beloved Sanrio characters, and attractions galore. Okay, so it’s not very big (my dear, slightly tortured-​looking boyfriend and I made a few rounds before we decided to go home), but it was full of fun for all ages. The games were tempting, but I had a feeling those prizes would gather dust in my apartment (plus there were just so many little kids in line!). We spent most of our time perusing the gallery. Loved it! I had no idea there was so much HK-​inspired art out there. If I had the money, I would’ve snatched up a piece or two.
Bring cash if you’re planning to play the games or eat at the food trucks (LudoBites was there at the time, along with Mighty Boba and Flying Pig). You’ll even need quarters if you want those penny press souvenirs — there’s no change machine in sight. We weren’t brave enough to wait in the Gift Shop entrance line — it looked pretty horrendous.
So having paid $ 11.02 for the whole event (parking + 2 penny presses!), I’m definitely a fan. BIG props to my bf for accompanying me despite my kid-​in-​a-​candy-​store enthusiasm that afternoon.

Hello!!! Kitty!!! I guess Kitty is her first name? Well, she looks amazing for someone who is 50 years old.
I was shocked by the number of people at the event. We went at 6pm on Sunday evening, on our way to dinner and the place was packed. We were determined to leave with some sort of Sanrio stuff but the line to get into the gift shop was 2 hours long. What? You want me to wait 2 hours just to pay money?
We resorted to buying tickets for the various games and activities. At $ 2 per ticket, it was definitely overpriced. We ended up playing plinko and I got a Badtz Maru fan. We then colored our own Sanrio shrinky dinks and made keychains out of them.
The art show section was pretty incredible. Some of that art is really legit.
This is definitely a must do for any Hello Kitty fan. Ok, I’m not even that into her but just for being Asian, I felt obligated to go. It was a a lot of fun but I would recommend trying to go as early as possible on a week day in order to avoid the insane lines.

I would’ve probably given 5 stars if they didn’t try to so put so many booths in one area. Each booth had a large line, so you had to cut through each line or swerve like crazy to get to your destination. The lines were long and slow moving. The line for purchasing tickets was about 20 min. Tickets were 2 dollars for one ticket. Each booth took 1 – 3 tickets with mediocre prizes, but at least there was always a prize. I wanted to wait in the tremendously long line for the store, but a staff member said it would be a 2 hour wait. At least almost all funds go to a children’s charity.

I loved this! I’m a total Hello Kitty fan so after going to this my life was pretty much complete.
I got the penny embossed quarter things, which was the cheapest thing in the whole place. I would have gotten more if I wasn’t a broke teenager, but oh well.
I went inside the Hello Kitty car and took pictures. There are two Hello Kitty cars, red and pink. So cute!
My favorite thing about the fair was the art. They had a lot of amazing Hello Kitty art. It combined two things I love: art and Hello Kitty. Amazing stuff.
They had a mini Ferris wheel that I didn’t go on, a little golf course, caricatures, sand painting (whatever that is) and Hello Kitty face paint.
This thing is also FREE which is amazing. It’s worth it to go.
But parking is $ 10. I got pissed off and told the parking person that was too much and they just said «okay, go around.» and I kinda got free parking and saved 10 bucks. It might not work for other people, but just try!
When my friend and I were there the border grill truck was there. She had some of the food and it was pretty good. It’s a nice idea to have food trucks. They also had Beard Papa’s creampuffs and Yogurtland for 5 bucks. Great place to go to, I had tons of fun!

I thought this event was pretty amazing, but then again I love Hello Kitty enough to overcome the cons of the event.
Parking is $ 10, so carpool!
Entrance is free, but you’ll spend money at the food trucks, pop-​up shop, and for tickets for the various activities they have. If you’re on a budget, I suggest you bring the amount of cash you want to limit yourself to spending and leave the credit cards at home.
There’s usually 4 food trucks at any time — I saw the South Philly Experience, Vizzi, KO Taco Truck, and Ludo Truck in the early afternoon; Flying Pig, Mighty Boba Truck, Hungry Nomad, and Me So Hungry trucks during the second shift. There are 3 rows of picnic tables and benches inside for people to sit down and eat at. You have to hover around until someone leaves to grab a seat though!
Tickets for activities are $ 2 each. The activities are 1, 2, or 3 tickets (mini-​golf). All of the activities have a small prize — poster, plastic tote bag, water bottle, plastic cup, etc. The Japanese sand art was pretty cool; you peel off portions of the picture to reveal sticky portions that you pour sand over to create a sand picture. I made a magic shrinking tag — you can choose a tag to color in then they put it in an oven to shrink. The end result is a key chain.
Expect lines lines lines! The booths are pretty close together, resulting in a mess of lines; you have to ask around make sure you’re in the right one. I feel like they could regulate the lines a little better… The line for the pop-​up shop is HUGE; it’s about a 2 hour wait, so don’t leave this to do until the end of the day!
I really liked the interior décor. There are huge balloons on the ceiling of Sanrio characters. Around the hangar are several several Sanrio character pop-​ups you can take pictures next to; a couple of them have a backdrop too. There are also 2 Hello Kitty Smartcars at the event that you can pose inside of or next to. Taking pictures can be a little tricky… sometimes you’ll get little kids running into your picture… watch out for line cutters too. Sanrio characters will come out from time to time in front of the pop-​up shop, so catch them when you can!
The art exhibit was pretty cool too; lots of different styles — paintings, sculptures, unique items. JapanLA sells prints of some of the pieces of art.
Placed around the event are exhibits of Sanrio character products too. Sephora has a new line of exclusive products!
For me, the event was worth checking out. The event was pretty exciting overall, it was the long lines and little kids running into me/​my pictures that got on my nerves. I plan to bring some other friends back for them to enjoy the event =)
