hello lovely!! im seeing billie tmr night and was wondering if u had any tips??

heyaa !

first off ; film as much as possible. you dont have to look at ur phone screen, just put ur camera in 0.5 and do whatevs!! experience the show with ur own eyes. enjoy the concert while ur there, then have ur videos to look back on!

secondly ; if ur standing, try to get there as early as possible. i got there at 9am and was the row behind barricade. and being in the line is acc super fun!! download a few offline games (specifically yatzy is so fuckin fun and passes time) and if ur going with friends download heads up bc its the fucking funnest shit ever. also bring a wireless charger and a cable. and bring a book or smth bc u dont wanna waste all ur battery in the line lol! when the line makes it into the venue, literally RUN to get a spot against a wall. if ur gonna be there for hours ur gonna want smth to lean against!! dont bring a bigger bag for the line, bc security is strict asf and only allows handbags (dont worry abt it being clear tho, js bring ur normal handbag!). stash a muesli bar or two in ur pockets or bag bc trust me ur gonna get hungry. the resturants in venue dont open until like 4pm! for water, bring one of those mini lil plastic waterbottles. there are a few waterbottle-refiller thingies in the venue where you can refill. and in the actual concert, the security guards hand out these little disposable shot glass thingies of water. IMPORTANTLYYYY, when ur in the stadium and standing, spread them legs bby. take up ur room!!! do whatchu need to do!!! if ur legs are squished together and u get bumped, then its gonna be a long line of lesbian human dominos.

thirdly ; for merch, if ur going alone go to the next paragraph (idfk) but if ur goin w friends then keep readin ! (keep in mind im basin this off my experience, which is bein in the line nd shi) dont buy merch outside the venue!!! the line is long asf and from what ive seen, doesnt have every merch option. once the line makes it inside the venue, get ur spot in line (obvi idfk). let some ppl in ur group go get their merch first, then when they come back the other ppl can get theirs. so u dont lose ur spot in line.

if ur going alone and dont plan on socialising, buy ur merch outside. it wont have every option, (boxers, long sleeve tee, etc) but if ur an anti-social hoe like me, go for it!! for anyone who's willing to speak one sentence to a teenage lesbian, ask the person next to u if they're okay with keeping ur spot in line for a couple minutes while u get the merch indoors!! and same goes for using the bathroom. they'll probably end up asking u at some point aswell lmao. u might make a frienddd !!

and fourthly??? idfk i dropped out in year 10 ; this isnt rly a tip but her voice is a LAWT higher pitch in person so prepare urself for that.

i feel like i should add my taglist or smth to this LMAO this took forever. i doubt any of it made sense either im dyslexic AS FUCK.

going to see pearl jam this week in concert and this is the first concert where im gonna try to take care of myself autistically. im going alone and the venue has sensory kits for kids and adults, but i want to bring a comfort item like a stuffed animal? might call ahead and see if theyll allow it. im excited and nervous cuz its my first concert all on my own, but its also a chance to accomodate my needs and not have to grit my teeth through so much noise!! i typically fare a lot better at concerts because this is a Noise that is Fun For Me but its definitely scarier because im alone lol. im already imagining myself sipping on some wine with ear defenders and a stuffy in my lap. just wanted to celebrate taking this scary step but i dont want to let my brain limit what I think could be fun for me!!

guys what do we think !

[sparkbirdmusic]

Hello!! Do you know how accessible the venues you’re performing at are? I’m chronically ill & trying to get tickets to your Houston show, but I’m worried about not having a place to sit down. Do you know if it’s wheelchair accessible/is there seating inside it?

this is a very very good question! my understanding is that the venues can (and must!) make accommodations, and that it’s best to call or write to the venue 2 weeks ahead of time about this

at some shows I’m sure the accommodations will be better than at others. I would bring earplugs in case the best situation is being right up front (but I would bring earplugs regardless)

West End Costume Updates: Caitlin Tipping

Caitlin is wearing her corset and skirt from the UK Tour. Her leotard may be new or old. If it’s her UKT leotard, it’s been updated with the black-laced chain. She also received the Roman numeral earrings that are now standard but were not used for her UK Tour cast.

Caitlin got a new wig and switched to a white crown.
