While I'm still v. sad that
rabbitattack couldn't come (;__;) I found a few friends that were willing to brave the cold with me to meet...
SE7EN!
The line in front of us. We got there at 10:30 am. THIS THING WASN'T SUPPOSED TO START UNTIL 2PM. My friends and I were planning to brunch and then wait in line. Ended up just waiting in line D: I heard the first girl was there at 6:30 am OMG WAI.
While waiting, I was saying how I hoped SE7EN came in a hat. Preferably a fedora...
HELLO SE7EN. CAN YOU SEE HIM? ME NEITHER! BUT OMG FEDORA! I TOTALLY CALLED IT Y/Y?
Inside!! FEDORA!!
He's like a happy little boy ♥
He shook everyone's hand :)
He also signed everyone's name! It was cute because as you spelled out your name, he would repeat after you XDDDD; So precious.
The best picture of the day, IMO ♥
From what I read on the poster, this fan is Vincent XD
Unfortunately, he didn't stay long enough for everyone to get an autograph :(
But they did give out some pre-signed posters to the people at the end of the line.
This photo was when he was leaving... it was like one of those psycho Korean fangirl mobs NO JOKE. My foot was stepped on many, many times D: I'm thankful it was so cold my foot was numb. It wasn't that painful, lol.
I HAVE AN AWESOME FANCAM OF THIS!
AND BY AWESOME I MEAN V. SHAKY!
I'll figure out how to upload it to YT or something later... XD
Finally added the SHAKY CAM. YouTube fails D:
SE7EN - [Fancam] 2008.05.24 Verizon Wireless in Daly City
Purple security man was blocking my way :(
To sum up (for when I decide to go back to this post and reminisce...)
- His skin is like... flawless. He didn't rush the signing (his security peoples did, though D<), and he took the time to look at you in the eyes and ask your name as he signed. His smile is so genuine! Overall an amazing, amazing guy.
- He spelled my name TO me XDDD; I didn't really say much, I was in shock :( Fail.
- In addition to meeting up with high school friends (♥!), I FINALLY MET kimbles! HELLO. She's so much fun!
- Apparently everyone in line went to the Hollywood Bowl last week XD
- People who donated an old phone (what the signing was really about, WHICH NO ONE DECIDES TO MENTION PREVIOUSLY) or were a Verizon customer got a red-star-stamp on their hand and went in before us. I had to settle with a blue "X" :(
- FEDORA!
- Before I went in, someone tried to ask me a question? I couldn't hear because they were also pulling the next group of people inside... If this was you, I'M SORRY! :(
- I COULDN'T DECIDE WHAT TO GET SIGNED. I AM SO INDECISIVE. In the end, went for his 24/7 album~
- 24/7 is my favorite of his ♥ Got the last copies for firefly_wish and myself from DVDHeaven, and now 'tis sold out :D
- Since all the pages were black, I brought a silver Sharpie... 8DDD HE USED MY SHARPIE ♥
- As I went up to get him to sign, he put down his pen and reached out for mine... and almost forgot to give it back to me XDDDDDDDD
- They only allowed ONE autograph :( I tried to get back in line for another, but he left... sadface. My friend got an autographed poster for me, though aksjdfkljasdf. THANK YOU.
- They also said no photos >>; Pretty sure they meant no photos with him (arg), but understandable since the line was RIDICULOUS. Pictures of him shall have to do :3
- The MC entertaining us before and after the signing wins. Prease to be pretend-lip-syncing in Korean more often. XD
- I'm actually looking forward to his American debut. I didn't care much for Them Girls at first, but after hearing it a few times during the wait... I've grown to like it. I just ignore the lyrics, like I do with all the other songs I listen to.
Conclusion: A blurry, awesome day.
Fin.
