my experience of b.a.p’s concert in philly! (pardon the mini novel that is everything under the cut)

Okay so first off, I want to give the BIGGEST shout and and thank you to @bb-bambam!! Aditi! Thank you so sooooo soooo so much for responding to my post and driving me and bringing me with you to the concert! I’ll forever be so thankful that you did this for me )’: I had such a great time and that wouldn’t have happened without you <3

Alright so first off, wow things were a bit of a mess ahah. The guys apparently had an interview that ran late, so soundcheck got pushed back like half an hour. We were also supposed to have hi touch before the concert, but that ended up getting pushed back until after the concert, during the pictures (more on that later). So, personally I never had any issues with the staff, but lots of people around were having soooo many problems. Like they weren’t giving them their lanyards and stuff (shout out to hat lady for never knowing anything) and it was just so messy. Thankfully in the end everyone got all their things and everything was fine. We were also lined up outside around the corner (the end of the line where we were), so anytime staff tried to tell us anything we could not hear anything, and of course they rarely ever walked back to inform us of things. Like... it’s the busy sidewalks of Philadelphia... As I said, at least in the end everything was fine. 

So soundcheck! It was really fun! The Trocadero is a small venue and with all the platinum and baby package people in there, we were still super close to the front and it was great. The guys all came out in pajamas and they were so cute and having a blast! 

Then after soundcheck (which was late. it was supposed to be at 5:15 I think but we didn’t go in until closer to 5:45) they made us all go line back up outside again. Which was very confusing... They had barriers up and things and had the GA people lined up (somewhat) outside the doors and... we did not know where to go. Since we couldn’t be there and block the path so we just went to where we had been, but ended up getting moved to the other side of the Trocadero. The baby package line was the longest, and we were in the back so we ended up waiting quite some distance away from the place haha. Also the crew of us in the back ended up being part time staff members helping everyone find where they needed to be :P

Eventually we were let in, I’d say a little after 6:30? The concert itself ended up starting late: at around 7:15 ish. Beforehand, they were playing instrumental versions of songs and we were all just singing along and having a blast.

So the concert! It was absolutely amazing. Those boys are SO much fun to watch. Daehyun was so so so so smiley the whole time, and it was amazing. I’m just gonna drop a link here to Aditi’s highlight’s post because she hit a lot of great things!

The fan questions were fun haha. I loved when Junhong got asked if Mochi knows any tricks (you can watch my video on it here!). One of the other members said Mochi bites and Junhong told us a story and it was super cute )’: Another fan ‘question’ was that it was someone’s (Jenny? was it?) birthday! Junhong was the one who pulled that ‘question’ out and he started singing happy birthday all silly and cutely and it was so funny. When they were getting done with the fan questions, Youngjae (I think?) had said something in Korean. While the translator was translating, OF COURSE everyone started yelling, so nobody heard what the translator said. So when he was finished it was like... silent and we were all like ?? and the boys were like ?? and then after a while the translator resaid what he said, which was essentially ‘are you guys ready for the nest part?’ and then we all cheered and stuff and it was kind of funny. Honestly, like... be quiet while the translator is translating :/ People kept yelling while he was translating sometimes and it really made things difficult to hear. Just wait till he’s done! The boys give plenty of time for people to react and things. Just a psa to other people going!  Youngjae also tried to silence everyone at one point, which didn’t go so well haha. There’s always that one person that needs to make noise once it gets quiet.. haha. It was really cute though.  ALSO Daehyun was so happy with how loud and excited we all were, so at one point he ran backstage to grab a phone (his? i don’t know), and we all started cheering but he shushed us and made us wait until he was ready and then we all screamed and he was SO SMILEY and he recorded the boys a bit too and Junhong like completely ignored him hahaha (Daehyun upload that video challenge :/). Also! The backup dancers were so fun! The one kept being silly and he was definitely having such a blast one stage! It was awesome :) Hands Up was SO much fun! The boys started it off after their last chat with us and they were like put your hands up!!! And then we all started singing/chanting the lyrics and then the song started and it was so much fun! So much energy from everybody in there! We had been given signs/banners to hold up during With You and it was so so cute. They boys all looked so so happy. Himchan was in front of where we were basically the whole last two songs. He really looked so emotional during them ): Pretty sure I fell in love with him. The guys were so cute during With You and Goodbye. They kept waving to everyone and smiling and being adorable. 

Alright so then the concert ended and hat lady came out to explain how the rest of things were going to go. I feel like we got 84375023 different explanations of what we were going to do? But whatever everything worked out. So in the end what was going to happen was the platinum baby package was going to go and have their individual pics first, then the baby package was going to do their hi touch (which we couldn’t do earlier) and their group photo, and then the platinums were going to do their hi touch and group photo. Uhhh, this was a mess. They had us all ‘line up’ in the lobby Now, the Trocadero is a SMALL venue. the 150 ish of us definitely did not fit in the lobby and by no means could we form lines? But we kept getting yelled at to be in lines? 3 specifically. Platinum in one line and two lines for the baby package. It was soooo crowded. We were in the back right in front of the door to the little room where they sell tickets out of, so Aditi and I had to keep moving out of the way of people going in and out of that room, which I don’t blame anyone for hahah. They had stuff to do and we were in the way. It just would have been so much easier to just make us go line back up outside or something? I don’t know, I felt like this whole thing could have been handled differently but whatever.  So the platinum package people went in and did their individual shots, which went pretty quickly. And then the first line of the baby package people started going in. Aditi and I kind of hopped in that line. I mean we were in it? just shoved in the back haha. It was kind of weird inside, since they brought us in on the left and they had all the platinum people just standing over on the right side? Which was kind of awkward but at this point, who cares haha.  SO YEAH, I had made each of them a bracelet and like... I was SO damn nervous to actually give them to them ahah. I honestly was going to chicken out of it, but I saw some other baby give Junhong a flower, so I figured oh well just do it. It was kind of awkward since we were doing hi touch and then doing the group photo right away. So It was like high five! Here’s this bracelet! High five! Bracelet! ioewhgfowes. I was like so paranoid about taking too much time it was just woeitfs. I was so damn nervous the whole time haha. I could barely look at them haha. Jongup was super cute when I walked up to him )’: Daehyun was super super super super sweet though )’: He was so smiley and said thank you and it deadass took me like 5 seconds to comprehend and say you’re welcome like I was fiddling around trying to give Himchan his and I was like OH YOU’RE WELCOME haha. I made Daehyun smile and I just wueigbfwoes. Junhong!! woiehgbfouwe. He was so cute. He was last in line (it went Jongup, Youngjae, Daehyun, Himchan, Junhong) and since he saw me giving the others theirs, he was so cute he like bowed slightly and held his hands up all cutely for me to set it in his hands and I love him ): So then I went to stand between Jongup and Youngjae for the pic, and they started counting down for the pic before I was ready haha. I can’t remember any of it except I saw Youngjae hold his bracelet up as like a mustache for the pic and I panicked and did a peace sign I think cuz I didn’t know what to do haha. Can’t wait to see how that turned out woesthgfnwes. Also I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT MY SHY ASS FOUND THE COURAGE TO ASK JUNHONG FOR A HUG????? SO I HUGGED HIM AND I LOVE HIM )’: 

So uh yeah that was a lot of what all went down. I love them all so much they’re such sweethearts )’: The concert was so damn amazing. Those boys can perform! Daehyun and Youngjae’s solos were a m a z i n g!!!! Daehyun smiled during his from our cheering ): Youngjae was SO powerful and passionate it was amazing. Jongup and Daehyun’s duet!! That was also amazing! They’re so powerful oiwbefsd Jongup performing Try My Luck was such an experience. He did like the first half of the song without the backup dancers and just wow. JUNHONG ugh. That boy I swEAR. Howler was so so so much fun! I think it was a great way to end that section. Just a super fun dancey song with a very flirty, talented, amazing boy! That was honestly one of the best nights of my life tfgbwesd. Everyone was having such a blast. The boys were having so much fun! And they were so happy! And Youngjae said we were the most passionate stop so far which thw4nfoeisd (every band ever at every stop of their tours: ‘ you guys were the best show so far!!!’ haha).
