I meant to do this earlier because it's been like three weeks but I was still recovering from the emotions but I think I'm okay now so if you guys were curious about anything feel free to ask because I've been bottling up my fangirling and I need to let it out or I might relapse into that I-can't-function-anymore-so-go-away state I fell into after the concert (I just locked myself up in my room and replayed all the videos on my camera and cried again)

but basically...

- Believe it or not waiting in line was fun because all the other fans were spazzing and you could act insane and have mental breakdowns and people would join you and it was just a big mess and it was great

- The Chicago fanclub created banners for Himchan's birthday (they read "Saranghaeyo Kim Himchan" I believe) and handed them out to everyone in line, while we practiced butchering the Korean language as my neighbor-friend from Gangnam taught us the Korean happy birthday song.

- We gave up on buying merchandise because the line was instead an angry unorganized mob and being a small person I would no doubt have been trampled if I even thought about trying, even after you bought your extremely overpriced whatevers (sorry B.A.P I'm not dropping $100 on a sweatshirt) you deserved an award for getting out of that crowd, because you are my hero. You basically had to pray to whomever that you'd make it and just keep swimming, because no one was going to help you out since the idea of buying a lightstick more or less the size of my head just turns people into monsters. 

- The tension before the concert was insane, and then minutes before eight they played a commercial and everyone started screaming because we thought it was the concert starting but it wasn't and they decided to be little s and do that again and again we fell for it.

- The intro was painfully exaggerated, I almost lost my voice just cheering through that, but omfg everyone was so worked up it was so much fun because we all were so ready for the boys and when they finally came out I was ready to die and I no joke started crying because they were real and right there, and I couldn't handle it.

- I could be picky about a few things, like Zelo's voice was a bit higher pitched than I anticipated, and Daehyun was a bit off on some of his sustains, but it didn't even really matter, because I wouldn't have changed a thing.

- They're all unbelievably good looking though like I thought they were hot in the pictures but in person I finally understand and would probably give anything to just go and touch them because damn. However, no one held a candle to Himchan, he is so incredibly gorgeous I didn't know what to do with myself. He's so pretty it almost hurt, and he was so happy on that stage, bouncing around doing strange dances and encouraging the crowd, and he even played around with the backup dancers, it was adorable. Channie in big shirts is like my new favorite thing though. 

- The boys are good about interacting with the fans, going up to wave to the front row and giving coffee to people who asked for orange juice (I'm not kidding Jongup what were you doing) and the fanservice was just ngh. I didn't get the hip ing on video, did you see gifs though it was almost scary. I just stood gaping because it was so lewd and speaking of lewd, Himchan was super into his body rolls and anything that involved moving his hips ually. After watching him all night I can say we really shouldn't underestimate his dancing it's a lot better than you might think. But still, I was surprised Yongguk didn't just come and drag him off the stage because he shouldn't be allowed to do that kind of thing, since it laid waste to half  the audience. HimLo was going all out though, not to say that no one else was being touchy, but those two get first place for the night. They kept messing around together, and Junhong don't think I didn't see you move your hands from Chan's shoulder to his waist. I want to say that there was a moment where I thought Junhong fake leaned in for a kiss which would have been great but sadly they didn't. BangHim kept staring and giggling at one another as usual, and during "Check On" Daehyun didn't let go of Himchan's hand after the clap and tried pulling him across the stage but Princess-Himchan didn't appreciate it and tried to kick him. The little performance before that was cute too, I'm guessing it was JongLo under those horse masks, but it could have been the backup dancers, but the shorter one waved as he walked off and I guessed it was Jongup (he's so sweet), but I gotta say I loved the narrator for that part, try youtubing it or something, he was great, 

- As you could tell, I was really focused on himchan

- I usually don't scream at concerts, but was the exception. They're fantastic performers, and everyone got up and participated and my god it was just so much fun. 

- The fan project turned out well-ish, we couldn't get organized after "Crash" since we all started holding up our signs during the performance and Himchan had already seen what we were trying to do and was really touched and began taking pictures of the crowd, but then Daehyun managed to get us all to sing and Himchan turned around to take a picture with us and it felt really good, even if it wasn't much. 

- Afterwards my friends and I waited for them to leave the building with the entire rest of the audience, but we were in an awkward spot and couldn't see them, except Zelo being a very considerate maknae ran over to wave to us and he was literally five feet away and he waved and smiled to each of us that was standing over there, and I broke down and cried again. I think the others walked our way too but then the fans that were closest to the door began singing in Korean to Himchan so they didn't and the security guards got them into their van. I contemplated moving but then the van slowly drove by and I could have touched it if I wanted to but a) that would have been stupid and b) I didn't because I was busy waving back to them because even through the tinted windows, because of the lights from their phones you could see them smiling and waving back and I was just frozen on the spot. 

also, enjoy my severely low quality pictures that I actually just took out of my videos
