S'up guys? This is going to be really boring for most of you because I tend to ramble about nothing in particular. I write this sort of thing for myself, so I can remember as much as possible.
First, I want to get negative stuff out of my system so then I can just be a gleeful little fangirl the rest of the way through, okay? And I don't really want to dwell on the negative, because I did have a really good time at the concert. It's probably the most fun I've had in a long time.
Negative Point 1: GOOD GOD, IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE. Waiting in that line felt like hell to me, because at first we didn't know where we were supposed to go, and then we had to stand in the sun for forever. I thought I was going to pass out or something. :\ But I'm sending out awesome-thank-you-waves to the girls who were in line in front of me and my sister for saving my spot when I left the line to sit down under some shade.
Negative Point 2: I feel ripped off about the VIP tickets. My main purpose for that was so I could get things signed for both me and my friends living outside of the US who can't see these shows, and they didn't allow autographs. I'd... much prefer an autograph over taking a picture with the groups, to be honest, because I'm not very photogenic. lol. The tour gift wasn't really much, either. So, yeah... disappointed. At least now I know better.

Yup, now I'm gonna spaz. :D When we got to 2PM in the VIP line, I still felt sick, but it was soon overpowered with awesome. My sister asked where we were supposed to stand, and Khun went, "8D Anywhere you want!" and basically sparkled and emitted angelic shoujo manga-like beams because wow he is even more good-looking in person. Okay he didn't sparkle, but you totally know what I mean, don't you? Since we couldn't get anything signed, I was determined to get something awesome out of this to make up for it, so I turned around to Junho. "Um... can I have a hug...?"
"Oh, sure!" and he said something else but my brain blocked it out with a enormous mental "YAY!" because I am dumb and fangirly. Aakjfhsgg his arms ahhh. I love hugs. I love Junho-hugs. I couldn't even look at him after I hugged him lol. Why am I like this, ugh. *Slaps self*
Walking away slightly brain-dead and full of hug-induced joy, I followed my sister back up the stairs from which we came. The first thing that happened once we got to the top was this man and a woman stopping us to ask if he could interview us. My sister said sure, but idk why because she isn't a kpop fan and that just meant I would have to talk. They asked me who I came to see (2PM), who my favorite member was (Junho), what my favorite song of theirs was (Tik Tok)... umm. I was asked how I got into 2PM, and the guy interviewing me genuinely seemed surprised when I said it was because I saw them on a variety show. He got even more surprised when he asked if I listened to any other Korean singers, and I told him my other favorites were Big Bang and Wheesung.
I forgot to ask what they were going to use that interview for, and when I realized that, it was too late to go back and ask. Derp.
Another good point about VIP was we got to get our spots first, so we were in the first row up on the balcony, almost in the middle. We ended up chilling in our seats until the show started. :T I made conversation with an older guy and his wife sitting next to us, and tweeted with some friends while I waited.
A bit after 8:00 is when the show finally started. +___+ fuuuu so loud and glorious. You can pretty much see their entire part of the show on my youtube account, so I don't think there's much for me to explain.
Khun: ANGELIC BEAMS PEW PEW. I know he doesn't like it when people say this, but he is so pretty. You totally loved his bodywaves in 10 out of 10, Sarah, don't deny it. He said they'd come back to ATL... I'm holding you to that, Mr. Khun.
Taecyeon: Very tall, gorgeous dorky dork. I love it. :D Khun asked what we wanted them to talk about, so Taec went, "Yeah, seriously..." and held out the mic to the audience. "Alright, obviously you guys want us to scream 'AaAaAahh'!"
Wooyoung: Woodong, I love your dancing and how you paid a lot of attention to us up in the balcony. You couldn't see me, but I waved a lot to you. o/ hay
Junho: Asjkahfsd I'm still extremely sad that Junsu couldn't come, but I'll try to look on a small bright side because that means you got to sing the most. Woo~. Please speak English more, it's adorable. I know you know how to say more than "thank you" and "enjoy the show"!
Chansung: Fuuuu you were really tall. What's with you guys and looking even better in person? I poke fun at him for not singing well live kinda often, but he sounded pretty good there.
And that's it! I actually went mostly for 2PM, and I don't know much about the Wonder Girls at all, but I had a blast watching them. :D I love Yoobin~. She's really cool.
And I said this over on tumblr, but I think Yenny was really nervous. She accidentally called us "DC" instead of Atlanta, her sunglasses(?) broke, and she tripped and fell during a song. ;_; She still sang her ass off and sounded wonderful though. I hope she's okay and the next show goes better for her.
Also, Lim seems like a really sweet girl. Do people just hate on her because she's new? idgi.
SORRY FOR RAMBLING omfg. If you read that, I am impressed with you.
For the tl;dr crowd: Nearly passed out from the heat, I am deaf, my throat hurts... and it was so worth it. The End. *bows*
