Manifest proves to be a success and we have a decent time at mini-AV Con as well and after that it was time to get the store started for real, unfortunately it wasn't going to be that easy, with numerous and multiple delays on the store launch, the budget blowing out, things were proving to be a nightmare to deal with and in a sense, each week that passed, was another week of rent to pay and there was no store to sell anything, it was going to be a tough time.
Then came me and Susannah's 8 month anniversary, by far my least favourite anniversary in any relationship since the past has always proven that this is where all relationships end up going to shit and well this wasn't any different. There was insane amounts of stress on both ends, the store was looking borderline to happen, I had an insane amount to deal with and we struggled to come to get along in our relationship this week as our lives ended up suffering and suffering.
Somehow in the end, we managed to sort it all out and got opening on the 29th of October, to a huge crowd which ended up packing up and filling up the whole store filled with frilly lolitas, it was quite a sight, to finally get this open was a huge relief and a massive step forward for us and the start of a new future.
With that said, it changed things a lot, my working week was now averaging 50-60 hours a week and I wasn't taking any money from Neko Nation or Tokyo Hardcore, so it was going to be a lot of work and very little to come off it but we head into Christmas hoping for bigger and better things to come.
