Before the show:
I arrived in San Francisco on the 24th my plane got to the airport about 2 hours before Melissa's since her flight was delayed an hour. While I was waiting on her I went and got some food in this little pizza place inside the airport and then this old guy comes and sits down beside of me and starts talking and then starts PRAYING for me in Arabic! Needless to say that freaked me out and i texted Jazmin and told her I was already ready to go home LOL.
It seemed like eternity before Melissa got there but she eventually did and we were off to find one another which took FOREVER BTW.
Once did finally find one another we grabbed a shuttle bus and headed to our hotel.
The bus driver spoke very very little English and he dropped us off at a .. strip club i believe it was lol and we were like no this is not it lol he had to get out a book and let us point to our hotel.
One thing I have to say about San Francisco... I HATE IT! I hate the hills, I hate the cold and it just overall didnt feel that safe to me but maybe that was just the part where we were staying. We did find some nice people though like the two guys that packed my luggage up the hill and up the steps at the hotel.
Later that evening after we got settled into our room me and Melissa went to find a place to eat the first thing we ran in to was a subway so we just ate there *I love subway* and then went to sleep to get prepared for the live.
Concert Day:
We woke up around 4 or 5 am took a shower and went walking to the regency center which wasn't too far from where we were staying however we managed to get lost on the way but this nice taxi driver flagged *us* down and took us to where we needed to go. By the time we got there they were already about 35 people in line because a lot of them camped out the night before the show. I think I was number 38 in line ? I dont quite remember..
We sat around freezing to death for a few hours and passing the banner around for people to sign and then around 1-2 pm the crew members started to arrive. Melissa talked to Sean and asked him how we could get the banner to VAMPS and he said he would take it to them later. Just a little while after the crew arrived another van pulled up and I heard people scream; it was VAMPS arriving but I missed them . *sad face* I was up at the other door and by the time i got down to the door where they arrived they were already inside.
A camera man came out and was filming people in line he was filmed me, melissa, jazmin and the rest of our crew with the banner and he said HYDE calls Ju-ken "a beast" we all laughed when he said that.
By the time 4-5 pm came rolling around we all were so cold we where cuddling up to each other under blankets to try to stay warm then finally they started lining us up to go inside around 6 pm. While we were waiting J comes over and starts talking to us and shaking our hands etc. He gave me, jazmin, melissa, bebe and a few others bottle openers. He is sooooo nice!
Inside the venue
Whoo Hoo we made front row! We were on Kaz's side but I could still see HYDE perfectly the venue was big but not HUGE and unfortuantly there was still a lot of space left I think San Francisco sold worse than any of the lives. Once inside it was still about an hour before the show started the crew comes out and checks all the instruments etc to make sure everything is working and they had the big VAMPS background at this one also. it was beautiful!.
The Concert:
As soon as the lights dim and bite starts playing everyone screams and pushs toward the front. Its amazing how these guys can take ALL your pain away. My feet were absolutely kililng me but as soon as I saw HYDE all my pain disappeared and i was full of energy again.
HYDE had on a brown long sleeved shirt with a weird looking pattern on it *i think* and torn jeans. Kaz.. I'm sorry I dont remember..
In HYDE's MCs he said he loved the steep hills and that because San Francisco had a HYDE street that it was his city. His english is SOOO cute and soo good !
Before I knew it the show was over and they were walking off the stage.
1 down 3 more to go....
