What a uniquely cool spot to hang out at. I was in the area during Easter visiting family, so I…read morefigured I'd explore and see what was out here. I looked up "records" on Yelp since I've been looking to rebuild my music collection with the termination of Spotify. It's got this old school arcade vibe, but there's a small rack with CDs, a section for records, another section for manga, merch and t-shirts in the back, and old school video games, consoles, and other stuff you can buy. There are two cabinets that allow you to pick games that you want to play, but don't take too long or you'll lose your credit. These games take quarters, so that's my gripe and what the minus one star is for. The workers here are cool and chill. There's a vending machine for snacks. I'll probably come by again one day when I'm in the area. It reminds of of the small arcades back in the day, so it's a nice trip to Nostalgia Town. There were two buddies who came in and got what sounded like was $20 worth of quarters to play. That was really awesome to hear a big chunk of quarters get dispensed. Have fun if you go!

On my last visit, Liz helped me out, and she was awesome. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to make some excellent recommendations based on what I was looking for.

I'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by if you're a record collector or just looking to discover something new!

I came here for a signing with the Alain Whyte band, which consists of musicians who played with…read moreMorrissey but made an incredible record in their own right! The line was absolutely biblical but undeterred I decided to wait and wait some more. Yes, I regret nothing. Located after downtown Covina, Kaos Records is in a large strip mall with what on a regular day would be plenty of parking. Once inside I found a good medium sized record store that specializes in 80s new wave and punk. There's lot of posters, clothing and other memorabilia here. On a regular day I'd be digging through the bins for sure. The signing was handled really well. The boys of the Alain Whyte band were super friendly and personable, which was part of the problem. Everyone wanted to chat them up while us latecomers were sweating it up outside lol. But once inside all the heat was forgotten. All the employees were super cool and kept us updated every step of the way. 40 years in business so they're definitely doing something right. I'll definitely be returning to check out what they have. There's a few holes in my collection I think they could definitely fill. Great store! Highly recommended!!!

As soon as we walked in, there was a live stream going on, and the cashier came across pretty loud and a bit intimidating, at least from my teenager's perspective. To keep things simple, I just told him to grab what he was looking for and we'd head out. While he browsed, I ended up finding a couple of records for myself too. The shop itself is really cool and has a unique vibe, different from other record stores I've visited. It's not your typical setup, which makes it stand out in a good way. I also noticed the building is a historic landmark. All in all, it was a unique experience, and I'm glad we stopped in.

Located in Expo Hall 7, this K-pop convention was full of cute booths, dancing, kawaii merch and more. The best part for me however at this year's K-Play Fest was a Sanrio Hello Kitty and Friends booth. It was a full on section that had plenty of photo ops, a giveaway wheel and lots of super cute Sanrio snacks for purchase! Being a Hello Kitty fan, this specific booth at the festival was a true delight! Aside from the Hello Kitty booth, I also appreciated the different creative vendor booths. I loved seeing all the cute and creative items. I spotted beautiful origami, unique K-pop photo cards and lots of stickers! Overall K-Play! Fest was such a kawaii experience this past weekend!

Fest! The energy was so high, and everyone was incredibly welcoming--it felt like one big family reunion for K-Pop fans. I loved seeing everyone's amazing outfits and the talent at the Random Play Dance was unreal! Plus, the vendors and food stalls had so much variety. I'm definitely going to make sure I get there earlier next time because there's just so much to see and do. I'm probably gonna go again in August!
