New York, New York
We are headed back to the big apple! I don't even remember off the top of my head when it was that we first went with the parents but boy was it a memory. That time the trip included One Direction and this time it will be Big Bang. I've been into BB for longer than One Direction but there's a great difference in seeing them live. I've already seen 1D 3-4 times where as this is a first for Big Bang. It's always been impossible to catch a Korean artist when they come to acutally tour the US. When we were certain we were going to see 2PM (and opening act 2AM or Wonder Girls) in Orlando, they canceled our part of the tour. When JYJ made it here those 2 times I couldn't get the money to make the trip becasue I didn't even have a job then. Now that I have jobs it's more difficult to get time off for the concerts than it is to muster up the money. To this day it pains me to think Junsu was so close yet so far when he came to NY! I still dream of the day I get to see JYJ live. I know it'll be a while since 2 are enlisted but wouldn't it be a miracle to see them perform whether it be in the US or even better in their S. Korea... Okay now I'm dreaming too hard but it is on my list and if I have the opportunity believe me when I tell you I will take it. I plan on visiting Korea at some point no matter what so might as well make it a prerequisit to get a concert (and musical) in the itinerary.
Back to the real deal, Big Bang. The legends themselves. We are going to be in the VIP section so I hope that means I can see their faces without the monitors. That's what I'm hoping and if it comes out that way, oh dear, someone hold me please. I remember a time when this would have been even more exciting than it is right now but those days of true obsessing are gone and I've got to come to terms with that. Although I'm not truly obsessing over Kpop stars like I once did, it will still be completely an experience for the books.
But hey we are going directly for Big Bang but we extended the stay there to make it a good 3 1/2 days to explore together. It's Daisy's birthday the day of the concert, lucky bitch huh? And so Anthony joined after we got our concert tickets and it was official. Maribel and Stephanie were in it from the announcement, so it's 5 of us roaming the streets. Let's see how this goes down. Personally the main things I would like to accomplish while re-visiting the city is: karaoke in koreatown (something we wouldn't do with our parents), and exploring central park a little more. If we get that done I think I'll be content until the next time I get up there. ;) Maribel did bring up rooftop garden restaurants/bars and that sounds appetizing too. Also, Daisy wants her first tattoo and I wouldn't mind getting one too but I don't think I will seeing as I had little time to do research on the parlors there... And Stephanie wanted to go to the Empire State Building and seeing as Daisy and I already experienced that, making it a night time experience would be a bonus in my opinion! These are extras that would be awesome to get done. I've been trying to plan everything day-by-day to a "T" but in the end I just want to get up there and let it flow and most of all simply ENJOY. That's my goal right now, to enjoy the whole time and not have any hard times.
Last time I got to see Phantom of the Opera on broadway in the second row and Lion King a little further back and unfortunetly I got pretty sleepy during both but the parts I was fully awake for I loved to bits. So this time Aladdin is definetly the best one up, and it should be fun (comedy status)! I'm simply excited for the whole trip though. This should be pretty fun and hopefully not another grand in fun but the money is worth it i the end becasue this is what we should live for. Experiences make us who we are, right? Not possesions. Although I'd love to have a new car with bluetooth right now or my own apartment right now, it can all wait a little longer because I've got things to do and places to be. Plus I can continue working hard until I do have enough for my own place. This post just goes all directions lol. End.
