Ok for so the rest of the report of Family Values.
The experience was ehhh. . .There was waiting in line, waiting in another line and then waiting in another line.
So I was picked up by Shou and her neighbor Abe at Williams at about 5 o'clock in the morning. We made EXCELLENT timing. Since it was 5 in the morning, we sped like mad. (going over 100 mph type speeding) So we were in Marysville by 8. THE THING IS. We couldn't find the Venue. It was outfucking in the middle of NOWHERE. LITERALLY. There was grass, cows, horses and tractors. And I'm sitting here thinking, shit, they couldn't have just booked the Shoreline like any decent tour? We wasted SO MUCH GAS going back and forth. AND THEN THE PARKING. We couldn't park in the lot because it was for VIP guests and stuff. . so we had to park several miles away. (and the staff dude told us to look out for people playing frisbee. . .WE DIDN'T SEE ANYONE PLAYING FRISBEE. All of us had to pee, and unlike Abe, we lacked a penis. The closest public place with a restroom was over a half an hour away.
So finally, they let us start forming a line at around 11:30. We mingled with other Dir en grey fans. Btw, ONLY dir en grey fans were there that early. We continued talking amoungst ourselves, the only interesting thing was when the band Droid came up in their tourbus and gave us shirts and cd samples. Free stuff is always nice. Then they led us into ANOTHER line. . which was the actual one. . .and we waited there for hours. It was nice meeting new people. So when were were FINALLY able to go in, THE RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT YOU COULD WEAR WERE RIDICULOUS. I took off my chain and threw it in my pocket. BUT when i tried to enter, they patted me down, told me to take of my collar, and leash and felt the chain that I had in my pocket. Then they told me to go to my car and put it away. Fuck that, I barely managed to squeeze my shit into my purse and proceed to get a wristband for the meet and greet thing at the FYE tent. I feel ripped off btw. They were selling WIthering to Death for 30 bucks. . i'm like no way.. . (plus I didn't bring enough money to buy Vulgar like I wanted) So I ended up buying Ryuojoku no Ame for 18. And the thing is, I don't even like that single. So I'm probably going to sell it in like. . .5 years. rofl. Next we lined up for spots in the Mosh Pit. . .Once again, it was only Dir en grey fans doing this. When we were let in, The first 3 rows of the pit were definitely there for Dir en grey (and further increases our bad reputation for any other fans) So yada yada yada and then came the concert, which was reviewed in my last entry
The meet and greet
Um, yeah. I guess I was appreciative of the band (well Die and Shinya) being able to put a smile on their face and shake the hands of fangirls all over Northern CA. I was thinking. . this is the only chance I'm going to be able to do this. . I should think of something creative. And by that time it was too late. So I ended up going "hajimemashite" and smiling. (oh so generic) And they responded "hajimemashite" and smiled. Wooo. . .totally worth buying a single I didn't really want. . Course that was my fault for once again, throwing away my pride and selling out to jpophouse. Haha. The weird thing was, Shinya up close with stubble, still looks hella feminine. He has muscluar arms . . but they're still womanly. And I guess that's all I can say about that.
OH YEAH. . .THAT IT WAS A COMPLETE RIP OFF. This is worse than a fucking 5 dollar photograph with some band. You shake their hands for buying something 18 dollars or over. And it's like ok. .
Harry lo never fails to amuse me by his cheap ploys of manipulating fangirlish desires for profit. "wanna shake their hand for 2 seconds? buy something over 18 bucks"
