Friday, April 30 - Arrival Day
I was so excited to finally arrive to LA. i had seen fan pics from a couple days before and was dying with jealousy. lol! so i arrived in the morning and after all my roommates arrived, we were deciding on what to do. since my roommates had never been to ktown, they wanted to go. i was going to suggest to go on Saturday but then thought that Saturday would be best to wait for the stars at the hotel to leave for the concert so i decided to go to ktown friday. also, since i read on soompi that the music store at ktown plaza had closed, i wanted to check out galleria so we decided to go there. as we were walking up the side of the mall, i saw a cameraman outside and turned to my roommate and told her, "there is a cameraman outside, there must be a star there!" and sped up my walk to see who it was. while i was approaching the door to the mall, i saw yoseob in a bright blue hoodie. i was like "omg! yoseob!" and then i saw doojun near him! we said hello and as they saw us, they headed back into the mall. i decided to follow them because i really wanted their signatures and didn't want to give up this opportunity. at the top floor, since we were still following them, the manager/director decided to have the two interview us for the soccer promo. they asked us if they can interview us and of course we said yes! but we asked for thier autographs first. then doojun shook my hand and omg, it was big and manly. rofl! =D they told us to step back a little and before we knew it, dooseob were beside us. doojun was only an inch away from me! yoseob started to explain to us what they were doing in korean but we didn't really understand so doojun, seeing him struggling, tried to intervene but failed himself. all he said at the end was "wow!" rofl!!! then yoseob tried to explain it in english and it was cute. even doojun was impressed. he said to yoseob "chalhaeda!" which means good job! so i turned to doojun and said "good job right?" and he looked at me so confused. XD anyways, we finally got the gist of it and so yoseob asked if he could take out pics. we said ok. then we asked them to take pics with us. thanks to our other roommates for recording and taking the pics for us! after, my other roommates and i tried to get them to sign and take pics with them too and dooseob were about to but then the manager/director said they had to leave. after that, we headed to the music store a couple doors down and was talking about the experience when the store manager was like "they were here? where?" and we told them just right outside but they had already left. he looked kinda disappointed and said "next time, tell them to come in here and sign my cds". lol! XD

we were too excited to shop after that and left. i decided not to go to rehearsal this year because i was there mainly for Beast and since they were a rookie group, i was afraid they were gonna finish rehearsal early and i'd miss them coming back at the hotel. so we decided to return to the hotel instead and wait for the boys to come back. after waiting awhile, we saw wonder girls walk in. they are so skinny but really pretty. then we saw kara and omg they are so tiny!!!! i was so shocked how small they all looked in real life. after some time, i decided to wait at the hallway towards the elevator on the 1st floor coz i was tired and out came sohee from the elevator. she passed right in front of me because i was in the hallway and wow, she is really pretty in person. i never thought she was pretty until i saw her up close. i also saw some 2pm boys. their bus pulled up but there were so many fans that they stayed in the bus. i saw wooyoung in the bus and sillouettes of the other members but couldn't see clearly who the other ones were. then, the bus left and found another entrance. after awhile, i saw taec and junho walk to the 1st floor elevators and another time, junsu went to the same elevator. after waiting a long time for Beast, their van finally pulled up but the fans crowded around it again so they drove off. one of my roommates and i decided to head to the downstairs lobby because we knew they would find another way in and it would probably be through the minimall that was connected to the hotel. after a short while, i saw hyunseung and then spotted kikwang coming towards me. i followed them to the elevators and the whole time i didn't realize that hyunseung was right in front of me. i was focusing all my attention on kikwang... oh the fail. i didn't even realize it until i looked back on my fancam. XD i also heard screams on the 1st floor and found out later that junhyung, yoseob and doojun went in on the 1st floor elevators. we saw Haha a few times too during the day. he was just walking around since not many fans ran up to him. That night, we were also in the elevator with Leessang but we weren't sure it was them or not until we saw them again the next day. they were drunk and smelled of alcohol and gil pushed the other guy out of the elevator. lol! XD

Saturday, May 01 - Concert Day
we decided to wake up early so that we can catch the stars leaving the hotel. we saw Haha walking around again and this time my roommate and i decided to go ask him for an autograph. we also took pics with him and while we were doing that, gil, who was with him, walked away. afterwards, haha realized he was gone and walked out to look for him. XD then my roommate and i went outside the hotel and saw haha/kim jong kook's dancers at the smoking section and she decided she wanted to take a pic of them. they were really cute. when she asked them, they were like "we're not singers, we're dancers". XD a little fangirling experience for them won't hurt ne? anyways, after that, we were waiting at the curb when we heard screams coming from inside the hotel and all of a sudden, i saw doojun running out the door. then all the other beast boys followed behind. i called out all their names and was really happy that all of them either nodded or waved except for kikwang. he had become my obsession over the weekend. just couldn't get enough of him. XD after they went in the bus, i walked to the smoking section again coz haha and gil were sitting there and i was contemplating if i should ask gil for an autograph when i heard screams from the hotel again. out came kim jong kook and wow, his muscles really were huge. XD eventually, haha, gil and crew went on the bus too and they all left. after waiting a lil more while, some of us outside saw a van pull up with 2pm's driver but then he drove away again and parked a little up ahead the street. my roommate and a couple of fans started walking towards it but i was walking slower coz i was thinking that he couldn't be there to pick up 2pm because the van couldn't fit them all. oh how wrong i was.. all of a sudden, i saw a line of boys running out from the side of the hotel. it was 2pm! i heard fans screaming behind me so i decided to run to the van and got there in time to see nichkhun, junho and junsu get in the van. all the fans were calling out to khun but i was calling for junho and he turned towards us and smiled! =D that made me very happy. lol. after that, my roommates and i decided to head to HB for the concert.

It was my first time sitting in pool circle and i must say it was a fun experience. i could see the artists entrance on the side and saw doojun come out. some of the fans saw too and started screaming so the directors pushed them back into the backstage room but Haha was announcing them already so they came out. they started singing Easy and walking towards the extended stage. i was ecstatic coz they have never sang that song on stage before, only at radio stations. It was really great to hear it live but since i only could see their backs and butts, i decided not to fancam. they then performed Mystery and Shock(my two fave songs! =D) and when they were exiting on our side, i reached out and dongwoon touched my hand! =D
after some more performances, it was intermission so i decided to go out for a drink. pool circle had a different exit, it went to the back of the stage and when i got out, i saw a door opened on the side of the stage and when i looked in, i saw nichkhun and taec in red shirts!! i called out to khun and saw him turning around but then the guard closed the door. >_< after that, i knew they were coming out soon for something. when intermission ended, Haha and Nicole came out wearing red shirts and i knew 2pm would be out soon so i kept staring at the side stage and soon enough, 2pm came out!! =D i got to touch chansung's hand when they exited. after a few more performances, it was finally 2pm's turn to perform. they came out all in black and sang a few songs. i got to touch chansung(again) and junho's hands!! at the end, the boys came our way again and i got to touch junho(again), taec and junsu's hands. i was a very happy fan. XD
Kara and Wonder Girls came out for their performances after and i was really enjoying their performances. but it really disappointed me that kara lip-synced to all their songs. i was by the speakers so i could tell. none the less, they did a good job performing. when i saw wonder girls, i was totally in love with yubin. loved her in her reddish, short, curly hair. but i was surprised at how thin she was. i always thought she had a healthy weight but seeing her in person, she was super thin. and poor sunye slipped. it looked like it hurt but like a pro, she continued on. while they exited, i got to touch nicole's and ye eun's hands. XD
after that, all the stars minus 2pm came back on stage to say goodbye(2pm had already left for the airport). i saw doojun coming out with a camcorder, recording the audience. i also saw kikwang take a couple of fans' cameras and did selca shots with himself and junhyung. omg, those fans are sooooo lucky!! after that, they came our way to exit again and i got to touch dongwoon, yoseob, kikwang and hyunseung's hands. i was totally spazzing over hyunseung for awhile because he didn't just tap my hand, he actually put his whole hand in it like a handshake. XD (yes, i'm such a fangirl. lol!)
other memorable performances were Haha's and Kim Jong Kook's performances. Haha's performances were so entertaining. and omg, Jong Kook did a couple of his old songs and Haha joined him on stage. love them. XD i even got to touch kim jong kook's hand when he left the stage. assa! XD and Haha attempting to speak in english was hilarious!! When a lady came onstage to announce the winner of the raffle, he just kept repeating her english because he didn't know how to say it. so cute of Haha. XD
Sunday, May 02 - Goodbye Day
unfortunately, we didn't beat Beast back to the hotel(but got to see Lizzy from WG) so my roommate and i hoped to be able to say goodbye to them in the morning. we woke up early and as we went downstairs, we saw two vans waiting outside and knew they were for Beast so we waited outside. after a short while, my roommate saw Beast's reflection but didn't know where they were coming from so she turned around and ran to the other side of the van. when i turned around, i saw Beast coming out from the side of the hotel. saw yoseob arrive to the door but it was closed so a staff told him to come around to our side to get in so he did. then someone opened up that side of the door and the other guys got in. they all seemed very cheerful that morning and waved bye to all of us from the van windows. yoseob was holding a fansign of his name and kept waving it at us and doojun kept looking out at us and waving and smiling. ^^ then their van eventually pulled away and as i saw the second van pull closer, i saw junhyung in there! i called his name and said bye. he just stared at us. he didn't seem happy but i guess he was just tired? i didn't even realize he wasn't with the other Beast members. i thought the second van were for the staff. XD

overall, i have to say it was a great weekend. i met alot of Beast fans and i was surprised there were so many Beast fans. i felt like there were more Beast fans than 2pm fans there that weekend. and the concert was much better this year because they had given almost all equal time slots for all the artists. even the older ones were interesting this year. The only thing that i was sad about was not being able to get Kikwang's attention. he was the only one! lol!! i'm such a fangirl for him. XD
Below are some fancam of performances at the concert.
