The line<\/h2>\n

I learned about this event from my good friend Aya, who is a super-fan of\u00a0Studio Ghibli<\/strong><\/a>. She even decorated her daughter’s nursery in a Totoro theme, complete with a hand-made mobile! She arrived very early (6:00am) with a baby in tow and was 30th in line (that’s dedication).<\/p>\n

Around 8:30, when I took the pictures below, the line wrapped all way down the block to the residential area.<\/p>\n
