soo after packing all this stuff in the bags we went to my friends house to pick up some more chairs and to get her ticket..which she had forgoten..as i stared at the bags.. i realized dies bag said happy birthday XD (it was shiny so i didnt notice when i grabbed it) So we made another run to the store to get another red bag..that didnt say happy birthday hahaha. we made it to protland at around..1 i think and we set up our stuff and sat and waited saw some hobbos some scary people..you know the usual portland crowd lol
tons of people kept asking us why we were waiting and for who.
mooore waiting lol
we had a funny bathroom hunting expirience ahaha while searching for a..clean bathroom the person next to us suggested we go across the street to the bak tower place..so we did and we asked the sucuruty guard if there was a bathroom he said there was one on the 30th floor so up we went. we didnt know it was a resturant so when we got up to the 30th floor these waitresses greated us and asked if we were here for happy hour Hahha we said..suuure..and also asked if there was a bathroom. but alas we couldnt stay for happy hour.. since we were under the drinking age hahah (were all 19)
we went down and back to the line and waited some more
around 5:30 we went to pack up the chairs and such around maybe 6:40? or something some guys came out to check I.D's and tickets >.< i was getting super excited and a tad bit wierd since my other friend and i were the onlyones with gift bags hhahah, i did notice a couple of people had letter though. so we waited again lol and nora came down to get us a brought us up and put us to one side in a big group and haded out the poster and the..thingy carbiner? something like that lol
she then went of to get the guys
im actually suprised there wasnt alot of screaming and stuff...also i was suprised i dint freak out ahhahah ive been a fan for 6 years and this was definetly something ive always dreamed of or close to it since it was a quick handshake,give gift and stand take picture and go. But hey its something right?
nora said the band had question and she also had a list of people that could ask the bad questions and thats all below in the vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi2S6iWEnKw (heres the vid of the meet and greet)
2 people went before my friend and me (caotion fan girling ahead >.<)
i went after my friend hahah i was so nervous haha i started with kyo >.< gah cute >.< dont kill me kyo hahah. I went up to him said hi and smiled he shook my hand and quietly also said hi he was also kinda smiling i grabbed his gift bag and handed it to him and he bowed his head slightly and said thank you again very quietly >.< just thinkin bout it kinda makes me blush haha im totally not a kyo fan eh? hahah shinya was next and i shook his hand smiled hahah the handles got a little tangled cuz the bags were out of order and i was getting a little nervous cuz they were stuck hahaha as quickly as could i got them untagled and handed him the bag and moved on to totchi hahaha internaly i was a nervous wreck hahah cuz the damn bags were against me hahahah. so when i got to totchi all my braim could come up with was "blue toshiya" HAHAH XD...cuz his bag was blue he was smiling and helped me by grabbing his bag.. the same thing happend to die and kao haha my brain stoped working and all i could do was shake their hands and said.."red..die -hand bag to die- "purple...kao -hands kao his-
after this i needed to get he pic taken i really wanted to stand next to kyo but haha i wasnt sure >.< if someone else had done it maybe i would have too >.<..but its like some unwritten rule..not to stand next to kyo haha. so anyways i took my place between die and toshiya ahaha i actually felt short standing between them >.< . more internal freaking out happend when i felt die lean closer >.< haha after that i ran to the rail and got my spot right in front where i knew kyos stand would be. my friend and i took turns garding our spots as we went to go buy merch i got 4 shirts and 3 wristbads 3 of which were for my friends that were somewhere outside in the regular ticket line. on my way back to the rail i stoped and looked at the rest of the people take pics and forgot kyo was staring that way like in the V.I.P pic below i stared at him for a sec and idk if he was just staring in my general direction or at me (a fan can hope i guess haha) but still i got all flustered and nrvous and ran back to my spot XD.
the concert it self was amazingly awsome i got chills and cryed during shokubeni
( its one of my top 5 faves)
Evaline was really good i was surpised it was slightly awkward though haha the dude has tons of energy and hes wierd XD when he jumped down to the rail the first time he held my friend face and sang to her hahahahahha after that everytime he looked our way my other frinds (which after getting in took there places behing us anywas) and i kept on teasing her and sayin "oooohhh he wants you" hahaha from the stage he sang to me too kinda he just kept staring at the front row of girls mostly my frined the girl next to her and a japanese girl next to me and the girl next to her XD
During Dir en grey my friend kept telling me omg i think kyo looked at you hahha wishfull thinking. he did stare in my direction but over my head you know that thing kyo does just stare at nothing sorta thing. At some point kyo took a sip of his water and then kyo procefed to do the regular kyo thing and he spit water on us >.< haha I got a face full of kyo spit/water haha
im also a Apocalyptica fan so i was pumped to see em too my friend on the other hand not so much but she sttayed with me i really wanted torock out with apoca too but Diru had sucked all my energy >.< i got whiplash hahahah. In the end i ended up getting one of evalines drum sticks and at the end of the whole concert my two friends and i went up to scavange lol my friend found me one of dies picks yay and some rodie cleaning up was throwing a bundle of drum sticks idk who's they were from though either from evaline or apoca. So i think that ends this entry ^.^
