I met Don and Mikey!

*Raph's Girl* · 08-28-2006, 08:32 PM

On Saturday the Radio Disney Groovy thing (groovy? For god's sake...they were playing N'Sync songs! Ugh!) came to the Tacoma Mall....there I met Don and Mike and uh...a Winx Club girl (Flora) and a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Unfortunatly the darned thing was for members of the mall's fraking kids club. I almost panicked thinking I was at the mall for nothing...but I joined the kids club (I was told that altho the age limit said 12 and under there were members in their 20's meh).

So here's some pics I took:

Don and Mikey posing for me (they started posing as soon as they saw my camera

):

And me with Donatello

I was slightly dissapointed (along with some kids I met in line) that Raph wasn't there (all the kids I talked to were Raph fans..

) but ah well...I've had a crush on Donatello alot longer than my crush on Raph.

Fun part is that as soon as the TMNT appeared all the kids rushed up to hug em, completly ignoring Flora and the Cabbage Patch Kid.

I WANTED to go to that, but I sadly couldn't... of course, resisting the urge to punch out Flora would've tired me.

*discordiatookie* · 08-29-2006, 06:07 PM

and i met mikey, back in the day!

Spawn Guy · 08-29-2006, 06:16 PM

So...can they go in the suits?

**GK Punk** · 08-29-2006, 07:01 PM

The Flora is hot. It just needed to be said.

*cowabunga14* · 08-29-2006, 07:15 PM

Looks like you had a lot o' fun there.

Don and Mikey looked happy to see ya.

Spawn Guy · 08-29-2006, 09:21 PM

Or they could be relieving themselves.

Ok.. here's a pic of Flora I took. This is the Radio Disney person introducing Don with Flora right behind him:

I have several other pics of Flora if ya want me to post em. Even my step-dad was drooling over em..

**Jo Dawn** · 08-30-2006, 06:56 AM

Ok... It may just be me? But it looks like... Don is totally flicking someone off.

Spawn Guy · 08-30-2006, 10:31 AM

Looks more like "To the Batmobile Robin!" to me.

tmnt_girl · 08-30-2006, 10:36 AM

i really want to meet don or any other turtle like u but i can't.

*Drtooth* · 08-30-2006, 02:19 PM

oH... Flora wasn't one of those "Big goofy foam head" type walk around characters... so, retract my "punch her out" comment... she is hot, though... but so isn't any spawn of evil (sorry... the One Piece thing tears me up inside).

Actually... I once worked at a cartoon Network promotion where I almost was one of those guys in suits. I wasn't... I worked at a Hi-C booth promoting a DISGUSTING flavor (some watermelon concoction, I remember). I did however get a chance to put on the head of a Dexter costume... and let me say... I think I dodged a bullet there. Damn thing came down past my chest.

Please do! I was hoping it'd be Stella they put out there, but I get why they didn't. She wears Hot pants and a raver lookin' shirt.

Plus, they'd need security to get me outta there.

I met Raphael and Donnie when the Turtles came to the U.K

Ok.. here's further pics I took at the Feelin Groovy thing:

Mikey posing for the camera:

Flora's introduction (look behind her...the guy introducing her is picking his nose

) :

Flora sitting at her booth (she actually spoke to people):

Don and Mikey walking thru the crowd and waving:

The Fast Forward booth with all the free stuff and other stuff on it (the tv's are available at Wal-Mart):

The Cabbage Patch Kid. I think she scared more kids than anything else:

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2006, 10:35 PM

I want her phone number.

Lady Venus · 09-01-2006, 05:00 PM

Ya'll are lucky dawgs.

*BigApple3AM* · 09-01-2006, 06:58 PM

Looks like you had fun raph's girl, I was tempted to go, but all the locations were way out of the way for me. Like drive across the state out of the way.

Did you get any cool free stuff? I know they advertised saying they'd hand out stuff.

I kind of like these turtle costumes, they still look more old school than anything though.

/QUOTE]

I got lots of free stuff....and not just at the TMNT booth either...

The main problem I had was this event was only for members of the mall's kids club... So here I was in line...I had been at the mall for 4 hours already waiting for this (the line didn't even start forming till 30 min beforehand) and THEN this lady starts walking thru the line asking for kidjit cards....

So here I am looking over at the TMNT booth drooling over the tv set (TMNT tv sets, DVD players, boom box's and Discman/mp3 players all available right now exclusively at Wal-mart! ) and panicking cuz I wouldn't be able to get in.

So I ask the lady what the age limit for the kid's club was....she said that altho it said it was for ages 3 - 12 there are members who are much older. "Yea we have members who are like 22/23...".... So I had to basically pay the kidjit's club fee just to see the TMNT.

Either way I just show the kids club card at any place in the mall and get free stuff... like a free donut at Krispee Kreme

But shoot... $5 a year is totally worth it...I had cash on hand so I just signed the form and gave her the money. *shrugs*

But yea... free stuff....thank the gods there wasn't a line after this...it was basically a first come first serve thing....

I asked the guy behind the booth what stuff was free and I got the Manga, a Fast Forward book mark, a fast forward activity booklet, and a DVD.

The thing with the DVD tho is that you had to answer a trivia question to get it....

So he asks me the trivia question "What are the names of the Ninja Turtles?"....and I like look at him like "Is he serious? That it and I get Vol 3?!" So I answer him super quickly...

They also had a form to fill out where they pick your name out of a bin every 30 min and you get free stuff pertaining to Fast Forward....I didn't feel like staying there THAT long...Im not one with crowds...heck the TMNT were only there for maybe 25 min anyways...

But the whole time I was there I was also thinking "Wow...just a couple months ago there was a shooting here..."

I hate going to malls cuz I can't stand crowds...but for the TMNT I went to the mall....I already know that next time Im at the mall will be in November to meet the Care Bears.

Man...when I was younger my bedroom had a care bears theme....now my room is devided into TMNT and Native American stuff.

But I still have my care bears *hugs her Love-a-lot, Tenderheart, and Noble Heart Penguin plushies*
