I am counting the days until the very first Hello Kitty Convention in the world which is going to be held at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Downtown LA’s Little Tokyo beginning next Thursday, October 30th. The event also coincides with Hello Kitty’s 40th Anniversary. I am super excited and grateful that my fiance surprised me with tickets for the convention as he knows how much I love Hello Kitty and that I’ve been a fan since my childhood days. I’ve also decided to dress up for the event since it’s around the week of Halloween and I’m so excited to wear my costume! 😀 I won’t spill the details about my costume right now but will share my adventures at the convention after the event. There will be a Hello Kitty exhibit at the  Japanese American National Museum (JANM) called Hello! Exploring the Supercute World of Hello Kitty which highlights the history of Hello Kitty and her influence on art and culture. The exhibit also includes rare and unique items from the Sanrio archives.

I am beyond excited to attend this event and can’t wait for next Thursday!

Hello Kitty here I come! 😀
