My B.A.P Experience: SFO → Warfield

It is 12 Noon (PST) and I just woke up. So I’ve decided to blog about my B.A.P experience during the past two days, from greeting them at San Francisco International Airport on Thursday (May 09, 2013) to the day of the Live On Earth concert at the Warfield on Friday (May 10, 2013).

WARNING: My fangirling may consist of nonsensical spazzing and rambling! xD

 

Thursday, May 09

I was on my morning jog at 7AM when I had gotten a tweet notification. Usually I would just ignore it while exercising but I saw that it was a tweet from Bang Yongguk so I immediately checked it. He tweeted that they were leaving for San Francisco so I sprinted back to my apartment as fast as I could. I woke up my cousin/roommate and we called up our two friends. Then we started to get ready. We grabbed our gifts for B.A.P and practically rushed out the door. We picked up our friends and headed over to SFO.

When we got to SFO there were some fans already there. It was really nice meeting BABYz :) although some of them were ditching school LOL. A few of us were just chatting while waiting. It really is amazing when common fans can just become instant BFFs. We exchanged contact info with three other Bay Area BABYz that were going to the concert the next day since we were planning to head over to the Warfield together because we all had GA tickets so might as well stick together in the pit. It wasn’t until four or five more hours until we saw B.A.P.

The first person I saw was Zelo. Even if he was wearing a mask, his height and his hair that was peeping out of his beanie was a dead giveaway. My cousin made her away over to him and I followed. I immediately waved and I think I said, “Hi! Welcome to San Francisco! I hope you like it here.” I was going to hand him my gift but I was holding three gifts in each hand and I was trying to find his while trying to keep up with him and the other fans but he takes such large steps and my 5’ barely 2” self couldn’t keep up.

The next person I saw was Daehyun. I said, “Hello! I hope you enjoy your visit. Good luck tomorrow!” I was walking almost side-by-side with him when I had asked him if he was allowed or could take my gifts for them and he immediately offered his free hand. I handed the gifts in one of my hands to him. Yes, his right hand brushed my left hand. He softly said, “Thank you.” I swear I could’ve just fainted or something from my hand touching his and from him saying something specifically to me. Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Right after Daehyun was walking away towards the doors, Yongguk was just right there. Right when I turned around to look for more members he was just there. I think I was stunned and I was offering him the gifts I still had with me to him and I said, “I love you…I love you guys! I love B.A.P.” I think I was kind of mortified when I said that because when I said the “I love you…” part it sounded like I was a nervous school girl confessing to her crush and then I realized my mistake or my voice’s mistake and restated what I said. FML. I guess it was all good since he started chuckling and nodded his head. He also took the gifts from me. This time another B.A.P member touched my other hand. MY BIAS TOUCHED MY HAND! Bang freaking Yongguk touched my hand!!!

We were at the doors and right behind were Himchan then followed by Jongup and Youngjae. There was a group of fans including my friends filming them so I just waved at them. I would have taken pictures and videos if my hands weren’t holding their gifts and if I hadn’t forgotten my cell phone earlier from rushing -_- OTL. They are all so good looking. They are charming and handsome when I see them on shows, MVs, etc. but they look even more handsome in person, especially Youngjae. Omg, he looks like a Prince Charming. They are all so tall too, well then again I don't think that's saying much since I'm only 5' 2" lol.

My cousin came over to me and our friends stood behind us while we and the rest of the fans stood by the van. We were all just waving at B.A.P. I wasn’t sure what was happening and why they weren’t leaving yet but I wasn’t complaining. They were waving at fans and smiling from the van. They were giving some nice fanservice probably because even without security we were well behaved. Yongguk was starting to look at gifts while Himchan was looking out at the fans and I saw him take a picture. My cousin kept on spazzing next to me. She kept on hitting my arm and shaking me from being super giddy. Himchan looked over at us and I guess he wasn’t sure what to make out of the situation because to him it probably looked like my cousin was abusing me LOL but then I guess he understood because he started to laugh at us. It was only when the van started to leave when all the fans at the airport started to squeal. It was actually quite hilarious how we all started to yell after B.A.P left.

 

Friday, May 10

My cousin and I along with our friends met up with our new BABYz friends at around 12:30pm at a Starbucks nearby. We bought some food since we were going to be in line for hours. When we got there at around 1:15pm there was already a line forming so we were just on time for being early O_O The merchandise line wasn’t too long but we were somewhat in the front so I had managed to get a Matoki lightstick :) Once we were in the venue I was lucky enough to get a front spot. I was center left-ish. Clara C and Jason Chen opened the concert and they were great. Although I did have to look them up when I saw that they were performing. I really liked Clara’s cover of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ Thrift Shop.

When B.A.P’s video intro thing started to play everyone just started yelling. B.A.P hadn’t even started to perform yet and it was like an earthquake happening. BABYz were just going crazy. It just got even crazier when the screen/curtain was lifted and then appeared B.A.P starting off with Warrior. Words cannot explain how the fans reacted when they finally started to perform. Everyone was just yelling their heads off LOL.

After What The Hell and No Mercy, they did some of their slower songs. Yongguk & Daehyun did I Remember. Then Himchan, Youngjae, Jongup, and Zelo did Secret Love. Then Rain Sound! OMG I love that song. Their slow songs were really nice, especially after their powerful performance beforehand.

Then they did their profiling introductions. 1st was Yongguk, 2nd was Himchan, 3rd was Daehyun and he was so cute singing his 7 high notes, 4th was Youngjae, 5th was Jongup and I can honestly say that he is an absolutely amazing dancer, and 6th was Zelo and his beatboxing was really great too and the entire time he was being profiled my cousin starts shaking me again. Omg I swear I don’t think she cares if it looks like she’s abusing me in front of other people -_-

After the profiling, the special stages started. Youngjae and Daehyun sang R. Kelly’s I Believe I Can Fly. I did not look at fancams or song lists for the Live On Earth Concert because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise for myself if that makes sense. So I was pleasantly surprised when they sang that song. I think both their vocals are great alone but having them harmonize together was just beautiful. Sometime during their performance I know I got goose bumps.

Jongup and Zelo’s special stage were Teach Me How To Dougie and Never Give Up. The Pedo Noona next to me started to shake me again spazzing about how they’re all dressed up like schoolboys but dancing so y. I thought that the two of them really were so swift and smooth while dancing.

Then there’s Yongguk in his white dress shirt and tie with shades on while DJing. Himchan gets on stage and it’s y Clap. Now this performance I cannot. I just cannot. It was all hip rocking, rolling, swaying, and ing throughout this performance. Now since I was just in front of the stage all that was happening like right in my face.

During the little intermission B.A.P were making the audience dance and on screen they caught I don’t know what to call him but the girl next to me called him an ahjusshi LOL but he was dancing pretty well.

Afterwards it was One Shot, Punch, and Fight For Freedom. Thank you Bang Yongguk for getting water on me. I wasn’t expecting it LOL. He then threw flying kisses to the audience because they started to sing 3OH!3 and Ke$ha’s My First Kiss. Right after was Goodbye. It was supposedly their last song and they got off the stage and then we all started to yell, “Encore! Encore! Encore!”

B.A.P came on stage with Coma, Dancing In The Rain, Hajima, and Crash. Yongguk was wearing a Golden State Warriors hat (too bad they lost the game that same night). Zelo was just so adorable with a giant silver bow headband on. The girl next to me was wondering what was thrown to Zelo. Someone said it was a thong but I didn't check nor did I want to know. Throughout the encore Himchan kept on smacking Zelo’s LOL xD Then there was Youngjae who took a fan's phone and took a selca with it. When the concert was nearing the end they all lined up and held hands to bow. I saw that Yongguk was just resting his wrist on Himchan’s arm. Then they did their 90 degree bow.

They looked like they had lots of fun, I hope they did because I sure did :) I did not get into the High Touch event but I am more than happy greeting them at the airport and going to their concert. I have lost my voice from screaming and singing along and my arms are also sore from waving my Matoki lightstick but I had a blast. It was concert but from the start it really was a party but then it became a rave LOL xD I am so happy that I got to see them in person. Honestly this fanaccount is not enough to describe how much fun I had but if you do have the chance to see them live grab the opportunity because these guys are just so amazing. B.A.P hwaiting!~~~

That is how fans should greet their idols. Welcome them warmly but also respect their space.

I'm glad you had a fun time dongsaeng^^ Seems like you had just as much fun as I did when they were at LA. But I am so jealous, I wish I got to touch Daehyun's hand.
