Kimono Party

The final fireworks festival of the year was held tonight, and Isabelle gave me a flower bopper for the occasion.

I scanned my Rio amiibo card, and she showed up at the campsite. She asked me to craft a log garden lounge for her, and I was happy to help. That was the third time I’ve crafted something for her, so she was willing to move into town when I asked her. 👍🏼

Rio, at the campsite: For realsies? Live on this island... Yeah! I could jive with that!

As you may remember, I was trying to get Rio back in April when Beardo rudely interrupted the process. But at least one wrong has now been righted. (I still need to get rid of Beardo, though.)

Around 10:45 tonight, I headed over to Sam’s town of Seattle for his Japanese-themed going-away party. Matthew, Nami, Jac, Nicky, Jesse, and Logan were also there, and we all arrived in kimonos (at Sam’s request). We had some fun with ocean sunfish (of course), and we hung out at the plaza for a bit.

Sam asked us to follow him to the sumo ring, but it wasn’t clear who was playing or not. Jesse and Nami were walking over pitfalls (using hacks? I don’t know), and we just kind of stood in the ring for a while. 😂 Eventually Sam said he wanted to sumo against me 1-on-1. We did, and I won.

We played on some musical instruments, and Nicky was 🔥 on the drums.

After a while, we headed up to the Roost for a couple cups of coffee. During the 2nd cup, I was way out of sync…and people weren’t happy with me. 😛 I don’t know what I did, though!

We also took a group photo while in the Roost.

Nicky and Logan left shortly after that, and the rest of us went outside. Except for Jac, that is. He was caught in lag land in the doorways of the museum. We just sat and waited for him.

Nami decided to help out by leaving quietly, which kicked all of us back to the airport. Nami then returned, and we played a 6-player round of sumo. Jesse was the winner; congrats!

It was almost 1 a.m. by this point, and I was about to leave. But Sam wanted to take one last group photo, so I quickly followed him to the photo spot. But along the way, he pitfall’d me. Don’t worry, that clip will be in an upcoming video. 😛 But here’s my last group photo of the night:

I had a good time in Sam’s town; good luck to you, Sam! And it was nice seeing everyone again. Thanks to everyone who was there! 🙂

I’ll be back with another blog entry very soon!
