God, I wish I lived near enough to go to one of you events (generic comment, but true.) Best Coast are sorta my life. I asked my boyfriend out by playing Boyfriend and Crazy For You to him <3
AliceinWonderlandNovember 15th, 20127:22 PM
Really? That’s so adorable! If I were him, I would’ve said yes in a heartbeat. :)
Mary the freakNovember 15th, 20123:30 PM
I cannot believe I am stuck here in Germany and all you beautiful darlings are partying there.
But aw. Those pictures. So much eyeliner and candy and flowercrowns and amazing prints. I love ROOKIE.
And now excuse me, I will go to bed and just listen to Rookie playlists and maybe cry a little bit that I could not be there. And imagine I know all of you awesome girls. <33
I wanna marry rookie.
julalondonNovember 16th, 20121:47 PM
OMG ME TOO!!! Germany sucks… Everytime i look at pictures of the roadtrip or events like this i’m like WHYYYYYYYY this is NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!
laurak-aNovember 15th, 20123:32 PM
If that’s a My Neighbor Totoro rucksack in photo 14 I think my brain is gonna explode.
MaddyNovember 15th, 20123:33 PM
Totoro backpack = so cute! I should probably watch it one day, but the references are just adorable. Tavi, are you a leftie? Lefties are great. I love lefties. I’m a righty. I like to notice which hand people write with—it’s kinda my thing.
KatGirlNovember 15th, 20126:39 PM
I was so excited when I saw that ^^
modaboutyouuNovember 15th, 20123:34 PM
I just want to say… I love when Rookie posts photos of the events. It’s like I’m there, even though I’m not… and everyone has such mad style!
DreamBoatNovember 15th, 20123:35 PM
OMG WHY DON’T I LIVE IN L.A.? This looked so funnn, AND HOLY CRAP ALL THE CANDY JESUS CHRIST! AND BEST COAST! *crying*
ijustreallylikebandsNovember 15th, 20123:48 PM
These photos are great, love the totoro backpack:D Wish there were more rookie events in England though:o
MartinapovoloNovember 15th, 20123:54 PM
Y’all are really lame because I used to live in LA and I was flying back there to visit the next day thanks for ruining my life
raggedyanarchyNovember 15th, 20124:12 PM
Everyone in these pictures is just so adorable! Like, seriously.
ONE DAY I’ll make it to a Rookie meetup. Some day!
Whoever has that Totoro bag, you’re my new spirit animal. The best!
Mnz18November 15th, 20124:43 PM

Sea goddessNovember 15th, 20127:40 PM
awee:( it sucks living so FAR away from all your events Rookie :(…the photos look awesome, I’m pretty sure the party was RAD
rookielauraNovember 15th, 20127:46 PM
that picture of tavi doing the book signing is the cutest thing ive ever seen. she is such an inspiration to all the girls who have been told “you are too young to make a difference in this world.” well, tavi proves them wrong! rookie rocks my world.
MissyNovember 15th, 20127:56 PM
This looks amazing… are you thinking of doing any events on the East Coast soon, namely Washington D.C.?
Ana HinojosaNovember 15th, 20129:15 PM
I wish i was there :c
lacecatNovember 15th, 20129:27 PM
urgh! I live in LA, and I almost went to this event! This just reminds me that I really, really, really need to learn how to drive soon before Rookie stops showing up here.
BenNovember 15th, 20129:38 PM
I love the girl in 8! her hair, and lips, and crown, and shirt!
SpottyNovember 15th, 20129:47 PM
You guys had Payaso lollipops! YAY!

PashupatiNovember 15th, 201210:37 PM
You who are looking straight to the camera in n°25, just wanted to say that you succeeded at looking like a cat or an owl or some other cool animal who look at stuffs that way which makes them look cool and smart.
Also you with the cool outfits in second picture, I wish I had your style!!!
PashupatiNovember 15th, 201210:38 PM
And you with the badges all over your leather jacket over your dress… Well, you’re all amazing.
QuirkyChick13November 15th, 201211:08 PM
OMG!! I can’t believe my picture is on ROOKIE!! I’m so EXCITED/HAPPY right now!! I had so much FUN!! It was AMAZING to meet Tavi and Best Coast Rocked!! So happy to have been part of it!

landlockedbluesNovember 16th, 20127:21 PM
I’m fairly sure that Rookie readers are all infinitely stylish and cool and majestic. These pictures were beautiful, it looks like everyone had such a great time :)
bethleerothNovember 18th, 20127:48 PM
