uisceros: (GD Always)
First off, yes, I am putting off my Big Show concert post. Why? Because it's giving me trouble, as I don't remember a lot. I might just scrap my original plan, and do a highlights post...

Second, because I'm still kinda on Korea time, I'm awake, and so I decided to post some pictures from my last night in Korea. I went to Hongdae, and took TONS of pictures.

I also took a picture of the new BB stuff I brought home, and are now put away in various places.


Hongdae on a Tuesday night. It was still crazy busy

the rest! )


This is all the new BB stuff from Korea (actually at least one thing got left out). I've linked it to Flickr, where you can read descriptions of each item.


And pages from my ticket book! I blacked out what I wrote because it's fangirly and embarrassing...

Quick update before I take my leave yet again.

I AM going to the Big Show tonight. This is awesome, but IMMENSELY tiring. I'm so glad I didn't make any concrete plans besides the concert, because OMG people.

I will get back to everyone, and I will do a write up, but it might have to wait for tomorrow, since I have the show tonight too!

I'm so going to need a vacation from my vacation.
uisceros: (GD Always)
OMG PEOPLE! The concert was AMAZING. No words can describe it. But naturally I will try :D

But I'm so dead tired my review/flailing will have to wait for tomorrow morning.

A few things though:

- I snuck my camera into the venue (in my bra... they were kinda patting us down, so where else was I going to put it?!)
- BUT I didn't fancam. I left it to those more brave than I was. I saw three people's phone's get taken away, and several more people warned. I'm sure I would have gotten is back, but because of the language barrier, I didn't want to risk it.
- Baby is a LOT hotter in person. Maybe noona IS a pedophile... (Baby's 7 years younger than me... doesn't make me a pedo, more like a cougar :D )
- They did play all of the songs listed, but a lot of them were shortened, thus why there were so many.
- Even though I didn't understand the 1N2D parody, it was HILARIOUS. At one point the boys danced "Abracadabra" (and another one, but I forget). GD was immensely awesome at it.
- Dae did in fact ride a bicycle in the sky. He also gave a REALLY lucky girl a bento.
- TOP's video is SO MUCH MORE AWESOME IN BETTER QUALITY.
- During "Always", GD and TOP (followed later by Dae and Baby) kinda flew over part of the audience. It was AWESOME. I didn't see GD or Baby, but TOP and Dae were like, RIGHT THERE.
- I didn't see Young Bae a lot. He didn't come over to my side of the audience much.
- Stupid me forgot her lightstick, and had to buy another one (because I can't go to a BB show without a lightstick!!). So now I have THREE of them.
- Facemasks were still sold out. Kinda. GD's and TOP's (and someone else's... I really should learn to recognize their names in Korean) were sold out. Dae's wasn't, which just made me feel bad for Dae. But not enough to buy his. I only want GD's. I've got to limit myself somehow.

I broke down and bought the Big Show T-shirt. It's so pretty! It has crystals too! And who cares if I'll never wear it ever?! It's awesome. That's all that matters. ALSO! [livejournal.com profile] sn0tcat! I FINALLY got one of those damn GD buttons! They were selling them outside the venue. (I also bought you a TOP item... related, but in a UNGAY WAY, I bought myself a slightly matching GD item...)

I also apparently don't eat in this country, ever.

BIG NEWS THOUGH! I might be going to the show tomorrow! Someone has an extra ticket, and I'm seeing if I can buy it. Honestly though, I hope it's sitting! I'm SO TIRED of standing (the concert is 3 hours long, and you go in an hour before that, and then I had to wait in the hugest line ever to get my stuff back, so yeah. STANDING = BAD).

More tomorrow, I promise :D


The only time I felt safe taking pictures was after the show ended... so here's a picture of the stage after the show! My view wasn't as good as last time (my view for the GD concert was AH-MAZING), but it was still good! Also, the "Big Show" sign above the stage changed colors throughout the show.

(To everyone who recently friended me: I'll get back to everyone soon, I promise! I'm just a bit overwhelmed right now ;P )

I'm sure everyone's seem this by now, but I just woke up (it's only 7am in Korea), so it's my first time seeing it.

OMG I LOVE IT!

It's so very him, and just perfect. I can't say I like American hip hop that much, but I LOVE Korean hip hop. And TOP's voice is to die for.



Also! They posted the songlist from the concert! I'm so damn excited for tonight! (My comments are in bold)

song list! )

What I wish they had played:
- Either "We Belong Together" or "Forever With You" (I mean, they have Park Bom there already!)
- "Big Bang"
- "La La La"
- "Crazy Dog"
- "Shake It" (흔들어)
- Anything from YB's "Hot" album
- "Everything"

Of course I don't care, really. I'm just super excited to see them in concert for the first real time (they were there at GD's concert, but only for a few songs)!

SS501 is having a concert too?

So, I went to buy Big Bang goods today. I got there 5 hours before the show. In all honesty, I should have gone earlier. Even five hours before, they were sold out of one of the things I wanted (the facemasks). They were also sold out of the photobook, the diary, and the scheduler (I have the diary and scheduler, I'm buying the photobook elsewhere).

Naturally that means I have to go insanely early tomorrow in order to buy it. Either that or wait until the last day. I prefer not to do that!



So the place was crowded, naturally, with loads and loads of fangirls. I saw the fangirls dressed like animals, like we saw last time. No clue why, but whatev. I also saw one person dressed like GD in the Lollipop video (I think it was a girl, but everyone was calling them "oppa", so who knows).

I was in line for a LONG time, for what I thought were goods, but no. I never actually figured it out. Whatever the line was for, it was looooong. I got there at three, and by the time I left at 4:30, people were still standing in it. I'm pretty sure it was the FILA giveaway booth. What they were giving away, who knows?

G-Market also had a giveaway booth. I got that stuff. The Korea tourism board had a booth too (because they're touting the Big Show as a way to get more tourism.... guess what? It worked. See: me). And Market O gave away food and drink again, which was nice.

All in all, it was a good first day experience! I always have fun, but am intimidated. I mean, it's just awesome to hang out with a bunch of people, and get excited over the same thing. But I don't speak Korean, and kinda stick out what with my blonde hair. Though I did pass by two Korean girls who were kinda staring at me, and heard them say "beautiful", which was nice! Asians randomly tend to like me.

So anyway...
The Goods! First look. )

Anyway, general statements: I LOVE KOREA. I LOVE KOREAN CONCERTS. I LOVE BIG BANG. I LOVE BIG BANG CONCERTS. I'M SO HAPPY I DECIDED TO GO!
*goes off to flail amongst her Big Bang goods*

Okay, I have internet now.

So... bullets.

- I drugged myself on the plane so that I would sleep. The first flight I slept almost the whole way (7 hours), the second flight I slept about half of it (flight was 13 hours long).
- If you ever want to sleep on a plane, take two Dramamine and some Ativan. It works.
- I have a strange love for airplane food. I don't know why, but I do. Maybe it's because I have no choice in the matter, but I always eat it, and enjoy it. (Except if it's things I obviously don't like, like bananas, or melons, or asparagus)
- If you hate waiting for meals on a plane, order a special meal. I'm vegetarian so I have no order my meals special, and they almost always give you you're meal first. It's nice.
- American airplanes are a LOT less spacious than Asian airplanes. You'd think it would be the opposite.
- The Seoul airport is pretty. And BIG. I got asked if I wanted a taxi only once, and they didn't even follow me afterwards! (Taiwanese taxi drivers are really REALLY tenacious... I got used to it)
- I actually managed to buy some inari sushi at a Family Mart at the airport (I also bought some peach 2% with GD and Baby on the bottle)! It wasn't as good as the inari in Taiwan. Neither was the Japanese inari, for that matter...
- The airport buses will never ever make sense to me. The website gives a route, there's a route posted outside, and YET, when I was on it, they didn't announce the place I was supposed to get off. So I got off at the next stop, and took a taxi. For $3... not bad.
- I hate buses of every kind.
- My hotel room is nice. Not as nice at the hotel in Taiwan was, but nice none the less. At first I was in a double bed room, but since that room didn't have internet, they moved me, and now I'm in a room with two beds. One is strangely bigger than the other. The guy at the desk speaks english, and is super nice though, so yay. No free breakfast though. Oh well. That's what Fami is for!
- The hotel has HEAT. OMG heat, I love you heat.
- I can't figure out where the subway station is, because for some reason, it's not on google maps. It's a new station, but still, wtf google?! WTF?
- I caught a tiny bit of Boys Before Flowers last night on TV while flipping channels. It was weird.
- Now I have to figure out how to leave this place. Once I get to a subway I'll be perfectly fine. The problem is, as stated above, finding the subway.
- I am continually pissed that my phone doesn't work in Korea. Or Japan. It works fine in Taiwan though. Wtf?
- It's only 11am, and the show starts at 8pm. It's probably too early to go for goods. Oh! Speaking of which, I added it all up, and the goods will be less than I thought they would! Yay!
- My hotel room has a blowdryer. That's exciting. I never used to blowdry my hair until I dyed it. Not it just looks better when I blowdry because of all the different colors and stuff)
- Manicure is still holding out. It's chippy, but not bad.
- I think I'm going to go outside for awhile now, and find a Fami. And maybe the subway!
- I'm excited, but also kinda terrified. Traveling alone is scary!

Finally, after WEEKS of waiting on my part, the Big Show 2010 good have finally been announced!

They're really goddamn awesome. Even more than usual.

photos! )

Of course the official VIPs get more stuff, but we don't know what that stuff is. I get pissed that I can't be an official VIP...

I got my Big Show 2010 ticket in the mail today!! *flails incoherently*

*flails incessantly for awhile*
12 days left!
(GD looks GOOD here. But that might be because his bowlcut is altered by the way he's posing... But it might have changed by now, since TOP-sshi's hair is shorter now. I love how Dae is like, falling. And I love that apparently Baby thinks he's superman. Or a ballerina. Either one.)

uisceros: (Big Bang - 2)
Big Bang announced their upcoming Japanese concert tour called Electric Love Tour.

It sounds like it's going to be amazing! I can't wait to get the DVD (months later), and some of the concert goods! As much as I would like to go, I'm not going to. I'm honestly not as big a fan of their Japanese stuff as I am of the Korean stuff.

As for the 2010 Big Show... well, I'm not TOTALLY sure I'll be able to attend, BUT lets just say it's up in the air. And yes, if I do go, I will be flying from the United States to Korea. Yeah. Korea = bad influence on me and my Big Bang addiction.
