Reading, PA (Santander Performing Arts Center, March 6th, 2023)

[blazing wing]

I'm gonna print out my ticket too, just in case.

[austere sentinel]

The amount of stress that took away is huge

[storm zodiac]

The arena box office and not the new venue?

[austere sentinel]

Yes, the arena is open already. I think the venue opens pretty late in the afternoon

There is only one person working the desk but at the moment it isn’t very busy

[analog hound]

Yea that’s what I did as well lol

[storm zodiac]

I got them emailed now I guess I’ll see if I can print them downstairs in the lobby

[modern flax]

You'll have to email it to the front desk :/ I did that last night

[blazing wing]

Or maybe just go across the street to the arena box office and have them print it out

[formal inlet]

This worked for me too!

[blazing wolf]

For anyone at double tree I’ll be heading to the lobby in a few minutes to start handing out banners and freebies

I’ll also be doing a majority of them at the venue at 3pm

I def am not worried about running out bc I have so many

[night veldt]

Where is the box office physically located

[austere sentinel]

Right across from the DoubleTree hotel lobby

Penn St/S Seventh St

[night veldt]

Okay

[storm zodiac]

Yeah went over there to will call no one was there talked to the lady a bit

She also just looked it up by last name also

[modern flax]

I wonder if they finally figured out "hey we're getting a lot of calls about these ticket emails" and sent a blast to everyone. I got a PDF ticket email again this morning.

[dry swift]

I haven't gotten on the road yet, but from a bit of googling it looks like Reading is using the ParkMobile app/service for their street parking. Makes it easy, just download and pay from the app.
Also from what I can tell street parking is free after 6pm, but signage should state whether true or not

[ocean epoch]

New magnets applied, hitting the road. See you guys there!

[modern flax]

Drive safe!

[idle prism]

I JUST GOT MY TICKETS IN MY EMAIL 😭😭😭

[storm zodiac]

Definitely going to buy a car decal at the concert so I can have DC on my car

[ocean epoch]

It looked really nice. Biig too, no one’ll miss it!

[storm zodiac]

I hope the mongmongies will sync here too saw a clip on my timeline this morning

[waxen elbow]

Okay which one of you is going to Reading in a semi truck

[dry swift]

Sync'd for last two shows in DC and NY, unsure about Atlanta

[steep mountain]

Twitter is completely screwed right now so feel free to use here to try to communicate

lol

[pale musk]

Oh?

[proper frost]

Is the box office for the VIP stuff at the actual Arena like it was last year? Or is there somewhere at the Performing Arts center?

[torpid chasm]

incredible

[ocean epoch]

Is everybody ready to blow the roof off tonight? We don’t have the numbers we had last time, but we can make up for it with enthusiasm. And we have to make sure to thank the members for not canceling!

[lunar ibex]

JUST SAW EM IN THE LOBBY

[pale musk]

!!!

[lunar ibex]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAW

[austere sentinel]

Same

[blazing wing]

cool

[night veldt]

I am hoping it’s at the performing arts

[proper frost]

The email says the performing arts center but idk what to trust anymore lol

[ocean epoch]

Also I’m looking forward to singing happy birthday to Dami 🎂

[blazing wing]

Riverdance starts there tomorrow. 😀 Remember when that was all over tv?

[modern flax]

VIP checkin should be at the PAC, not the arena

[proper frost]

Ok ty

[modern flax]

Confirmed my email

LOCATION: Santander Performing Arts Center - Lobby vestibule next to box office
Please visit the check-in stand with your QR code, photo ID, and proof of your show ticket to receive your wristband.

[warped leaf]

i just saw dreamcatcher walk out bye-

[dapper flicker]

Gah. So awesome!

[analog hound]

Jelllyyyyy

[storm zodiac]

😭 I’m here just in my hotel room

[analog hound]

I’m still at work wahhh

[pale musk]

I’m getting barked at by my dog

[analog hound]

Where did everyone park?

[crimson creek]

There’s a garage right around the corner from the venue

[analog hound]

Are there signs that says like venue parking?

[crimson creek]

We just went there to check it out. Tons of space on the upper floors

No it just says PARK

[warped leaf]

it was funny cuz everyone was quiet and they tried to leave like that but everyone saw in the lobby lol

[analog hound]

Lol

[crimson creek]

Public parking doesn’t start till like the 4th floor. Everything below is reserved

[analog hound]

Danngggg

[proper frost]

Think im gonna leave in about 45 minutes. Only takes me 30-40 to get there

[analog hound]

lol nothing comes up on SpotHero crazy. Guess it’s a drive n find once I get there

Ohhh lucky I’m 1hr 40min

[crimson creek]

Some garages don’t come up on Google maps for some reason

[analog hound]

So basically 2hr drive for me I’m probably gonna get stuck in traffic

[vague mulch]

Anyone know any good lunch spots in Reading?

[proper frost]

I dont travel towards that direction often. Usually the other way towards Philly so idk the traffic situation.

[modern flax]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. There's a Vietnamese place on the way from the Doubletree to the PAC which was good for dinner, so that's a good fallback

[analog hound]

Yea i gotta pass Philly so the traffic will be over there

[proper frost]

it gets so bad some days

[analog hound]

Yep especially close to 3-4pm cause everyone be done work.

[proper frost]

lol 15 minutes until my movie is over so maybe ill leave sooner.

[stiff pagoda]

anyone in need for a ticket last minute, bc I need to sell one T^T

I posted it in selling thread

[proper frost]

Alright on my way to Reading

[modern flax]

Drive safe!

[agile thicket]

hey all 👋
what time is everyone getting there today? 😮

don't know when i should leave my house hehe

[proper frost]

I’ll be there at like…little past 2:30. If the traffic gods are kind.

I’m so happy to wear the Halloween jacket too I love it so much

[analog hound]

Yaaasss Halloween jacket!!

[dapper flicker]

@prisma beacon @grave bramble just parked

[ocean epoch]

Saw one at Atlanta, it looks 👌

[analog hound]

Does anyone officially know if they are taking mobile tickets or is it really just printed out tickets only

[proper frost]

It’s nice quality too I feel. Idk anything about how well it’s made compared to others but it’s comfy and fits nice

[ocean epoch]

There’s no reason they wouldn’t take mobile tickets, the problem was most of us didn’t get mobile tickets for the converted seats

[proper frost]

Can never hurt to have the physical ticket too if you can get them in time

[gloomy egret]

Just curious how many people have vvip for this concert that are staying at double tree

[dapper flicker]

Whelp. I'm here. Beautiful weather and no lines yet

[proper frost]

Oh wow

The one time there’s no GA I’m gonna be there when it’s empty lol

[crimson creek]

At the birkshire mall to kill time till check in. This place is ded.

[proper frost]

I’m assuming this line outside the theater is for the concert lol I just sorta hopped in

[modern flax]

No idea. I assume it's for vip check in

Since that starts in a half hour. Gonna do that and head back to the hotel for a little while

[torpid chasm]

GO GO GO

just grabbed second row on ticketmaster center

go go go go

[pale musk]

Oh?

[torpid chasm]

there's aisles and tons of seats rn goooo

face value ($99)

[steep mountain]

me being envious

give me all-seated all the time to stop the camping arms race

though perhaps not the way this particular venue played out, of course

[pale musk]

Oh it’s usually dead

I’m shocked they didn’t get rid of that mall too

[crimson creek]

It’s seems like it’s on its oats legs lol

[pale musk]

According to my neighbor who works there they take mobile

Doors open an hour before

Right

[torpid chasm]

in NYC, doors opened late, show started late

but doors are supposed to be at 630 tonight

[ocean epoch]

Just got a row A center 😅 you’re a bad influence!

[torpid chasm]

Im so happy for you

[dapper flicker]

Wow. Nice!

[torpid chasm]

You’re probably behind me a bit, if you see dude with Chung Ee say hi

[ocean epoch]

Aww. Good choice, I’m a Hatt/Chungee bias. Or, you know what I mean

[torpid chasm]

Yeji bias turned Chaeryeong during mafia era because I couldn’t lie to myself any longer

I just got a refund for my Row H ticket

so if anyone is looking, it should be on TM now

[tall granite]

Bro I'm stupid confused right now when did they change the venue and does my ticket still work?

[torpid chasm]

Your old ticket doesn't work. You were, or should be, issued a new PDF ticket via email.

[tall granite]

I ain't got shit yet

[torpid chasm]

You may also request a refund and re-buy something else. I did that just now.

[torpid chasm]

Call the venue, check the pins. The only way in for old-buyers is via PDF, there won't be a Mobile option.

If you can't call em on the phone, get there early, don't wanna be stuck in line with a ton of other people also waiting for them to generate/print PDFs on the spot and miss the first few songs

[storm zodiac]

I’m in line now

[tall granite]

I git it. Headed there bow to get vip wristband

[dapper flicker]

Anyone wanna grab some food to kill the time?

[tall granite]

This line dumb long

[storm zodiac]

It likes its going pretty fast

[idle prism]

does anyone know what time merch sale starts?
not sure if it started before the doors opened last time

also, where exactly is the checkin for vip?

[storm zodiac]

They haven’t set up merch yet it’s all in boxes I see jerseys on the ground

[proper frost]

I’m not sure where the line traveled to after check in lol I just went back to where it started

I think it went to the other side of the building

[crystal prawn]

is there a line for the tickets yet?

[storm zodiac]

I’m going back to the lobby to meet a friend who is driving up and we are going to eat

[storm zodiac]

You can pick up your tickets at will call

[crystal prawn]

thanks!

[modern flax]

Checkin for VIP is at the Theater

[proper frost]

I’m just chillin on a wall on my phone like

[tall granite]

So I'm assuming you can get merch at 6:00

[silver shuttle]

I’ll prob be at the venue late and miss my vip

[modern flax]

You may be able to get checked in - the email said it would be limited after 5 but you can try

[silver shuttle]

Let’s hope

[grave bramble]

Yo totally forgot to give you my # i haven't been checking discord, we both just checked in for hi touch and then went back to our cars

[grave bramble]

Thought I hit reply but I didnt^

[night veldt]

You can check in later. They should make an announcement after the concert for those that missed checkin

[silver shuttle]

[night veldt]

I missed the DC checkin and they made an announcement after the concert of where to checkin

[silver shuttle]

Whew let’s hope

Gonna hit the road soon when my friend arrive

[night veldt]

Drive safely

[silver shuttle]

👍

[gloomy egret]

Does anyone know if we can bring the lightstick extentions

[modern flax]

I think so. I mean, they're selling the lightsticks at the venue so anyone who buys one there is automatically going to have them on them.

[grand plinth]

I called earlier today and was told extensions aren’t allowed. It’s a bummer!

[modern flax]

I stand corrected then!

[gloomy egret]

That sucks

[modern flax]

I wasn't planning on bringing my extensions anyway - I left them at home.

[storm zodiac]

How many people got vvip maybe we can wait in line together after the concert for the group photo

[gloomy egret]

Me and my twin did

[ocean lantern]

Me

[robust osprey]

Anyone know how much the jerseys are supposed to cost?

[blazing wolf]

$120 I believe

[modern flax]

120

[torpid chasm]

Any good Korean food anywhere near Reading

[modern flax]

Gonna be honest, I don't think there's much of anything near Reading

And anything that is around seems to be closed on Monday

[torpid chasm]

Yeah coming up dead ends every angle

[modern flax]

Your best bets within walking distance of the theater are pizza and sandwiches or various central American places

[torpid chasm]

Yeah I don’t mind driving outside of town but even then seems empty

[lucid storm]

Yeah everything in PA seems like it's closed

[candid estuary]

Yea just drive 2.5 hours east into nyc

[gentle forge]

Salsa Burrito by the DoubleTree is pretty good. Like a chipotle

[midnight crow]

Did they open doors for merch yet ?

[candid estuary]

They said 6

[midnight crow]

Oo I'm assuming people lining up already saw the line from a distance

You think we can use pdf from our phone instead of printing ? Lol

[modern flax]

Unfortunately not

Box office at the venue may be able to print for you though

[midnight crow]

Are there food vendors in the venue ? I know for the arena there is not sure about this one

[night veldt]

Are you trying to print yours?

[midnight crow]

I got mines printed from a friend that will be meeting me there.

[night veldt]

Okay! Was gonna say if you need to then stop by doubletree I will help you print! Cool cool!

[ocean epoch]

I did! Just signed in.
So is this just a super early entrance line or are we hoping for early merch or what?

[modern flax]

If anyone's lined up now I assume it's an early lineup for entrance. Merch is inside too.

[night veldt]

When I checked in earlier today @ 4pm, the merch table was being set up

[storm zodiac]

I saw bad stitching on the jeresey so I’m iffy on it

[modern flax]

I'd never wear it so I think I'm going to pass on jerseys

[cursive cipher]

it's more for the frame

[robust osprey]

Ooof, I’m currently debating if I should spend $120 on it or not

[cursive cipher]

but yeah generally merch mmt contracts out isn't the best

[storm zodiac]

Just got done eating I’ll probably head over just got to tho back to the room

[steep mountain]

all merch prices pinned in #1064962500044529794

in case you want to know about more than just the jersey you got an answer for

[night veldt]

I didn’t buy the jersey but when I bought the hoodie I don’t not like the quality. I am thinking about taking some of the stitches out and re-stitching it

[lucid storm]

I guess I won't grab a sweatshirt then. How's the quality for the t-shirts?

[pale musk]

I like the softness of the sweatshirt

[night veldt]

You can take a look for sure. The quality of the hoodie wasn’t as good as last years

[pale musk]

But if it’s not as good this year </3

[steep mountain]

I have three DC hoodies so one more won't be an issue

I plan on seeing with my own eyes before doing anything though

[pale musk]

Same

[night veldt]

Lol I still bought the hoodie either way haha

[vapid cargo]

What time is the concert starting? 7 or 7:30?

[modern flax]

7:30

[ocean epoch]

Yeah, looked like it’s a thin hoodie, like a tshirt hoodie

[silver shuttle]

At the venue

Ton of freebies

Sadly didn’t get my vip

[gloomy egret]

You maybe able to check in after like last year

Just listen to announcements afterwards

[modern flax]

You can see if anyone from MMT is there and let them know you were traveling?

[vapid cargo]

Awesome thanks!

[elfin night]

What's the number everyone has been using to contact ticket master?

[modern flax]

800-653-8000. But at this point you should probably just go to the box office

[candid estuary]

Box office at the arena sorts it fast

[elfin night]

Box office just told us no and to go away aha 🥲

[night veldt]

Yep

[midnight crow]

What's the venue and seat number we enter for the app ? I only see 111 or do we wait till near the concert start time

[night veldt]

Doors should be open now, right?

[tropic moss]

Central control is automatic if venue has the tech to support it.

[midnight crow]

Oh.. so we dont do anything other than turning it on ? No connection to app ?

[tropic moss]

NYC did not have to do anything with the app

[midnight crow]

Ooh okie

[night veldt]

So no app for the light stick is needed?

[silver shuttle]

Made it in

[midnight crow]

It appears so

[ocean epoch]

In for merch

[night veldt]

Ok

[silver shuttle]

Hey toad

It’s my agent from Reddit

[midnight crow]

Since we are seating not sure if I want to wear the cloak

[prisma beacon]

just realized that everything is cashless🥲

[pale musk]

Yeah :,)

[prisma beacon]

i left my card in my car

im so thirsty 😀

[gloomy egret]

How much are they charging for water

[prisma beacon]

im not sure

[pale musk]

!!

[twilit vigil]

[modern flax]

4.5

[silver shuttle]

Anyone know how to reach left balcony?

[cursive cipher]

I see stairs in that picture 😮

[gloomy egret]

As long as my card doesn't lock after I'm done in the merch line I'll buy you a water.

[tall granite]

This merch lime is insane

Anyone on top that's wanna let me cut and I'll buy you something lol

[tall granite]

No pit?

Tf

[modern flax]

No they moved venue

[lucid storm]

Pit was removed when they changed venues

[modern flax]

All seated, no GA

[night veldt]

PSA: please be wary of the people behind you and don’t keep holding up your posters during the performance

[pale musk]

Oh so that’s what the long line was

[night veldt]

Right! I got in line then someone said it wrapped upstairs so I was like heck no

[pale musk]

I almost passed out from being too hot in the car already so I think I’ll just be sitting and regaining composure for a bit rN

[pale musk]

Oh wow

I went through it to get to the bathrooms
Weird they’re downstairs

[modern flax]

Phones too. Keep them eye level if you're gonna record please. Be considerate of those around you

[misty panther]

ello

any solo attendees in line for merch rn?

[plush shard]

Was only able to get a large dong at the merch table but it fits well enough over the hoodie

[night veldt]

Someone get me a light stick. I will Venmo you lol

[pale musk]

Looking at a sign on the door it seems recoding isn’t allowed at all??

Unless it’s okay for this since it wasn’t supposed to be in the performing arts area

[modern flax]

Yeah see I don't think anyone's going to be enforcing that

[night veldt]

You think it should be okay

[ocean epoch]

I forgot to buy a decal 😢 anyone in line want to get it for me?

[pale musk]

Probably not
I hope not

My head was spinning just going through the lines of people
I’m so cofnjsed if it’s one huge line or what

[gloomy egret]

@prisma beacon do you still need a water

[prisma beacon]

all good! i forgot i had apple pay lol

[storm zodiac]

The line was long for merch I didn’t go…

[pale musk]

Same

[clever ibex]

I booked it to merch immediately, it’s insane how fast it grew

[pale musk]

Idek where it starts

[night veldt]

I gave up

[misty panther]

I can how much was it

[lucid storm]

It should be 10 or so

[ocean epoch]

I think 15

Where are you in line?

[misty panther]

It’s actually moving p fast only been in for ~20-ish mins and almost at the table

[ocean epoch]

Ok great. I’ll meet you at the end of merch, between the tables and the bar in the corner

[misty panther]

Im currently at the red barrier line things

[misty panther]

Ok, wearing white hoodie with a duck on the back

[ocean epoch]

It moves pretty quick after the ropes , they have a lot of people working

[misty panther]

Yeah I see, almost there

[twilit vigil]

Almost time
I'm cheering for Dreamcatcher even though I'm 580 miles away

[robust osprey]

Anyone know how to link the lightstick to our seats? Or is that even a thing for this concert?

[idle prism]

pls 😢 short people, including myself, will appreciate it so much

[cursive cipher]

I think you need to download app then scan code at the bottom of the lightstick

[analog hound]

The app. But I think it auto syncs cause I didn’t do anything on the app.

[steep mountain]

as long as your lightstick is on it'll sync

[lucid storm]

Oo the instrumental for paradise

[steep mountain]

you can try using the app but like ririenko says I don't think it's necessary

Enjoy the show all!

[robust osprey]

Ok thanks! I connected it to the app and then there is a part to sync your seat number but the sections made no sense

[analog hound]

Yea it doesn’t go with our seats so it’s auto.

[plush shard]

Where's handong 😡

[candid aspen]

Have fun!!

[plush shard]

If anyone in center orchestra lost a coke, it is next to my foot

[timid cairn]

can you roll it down some more? sorry, was trying to pass to my friend in the front row

[ocean epoch]

Hi Chungee!

[haughty scroll]

Let’s have fun y’all !

[ocean lantern]

[lucid storm]

[silver shuttle]

Hi guys I’m on balcony. It’s nice to know a good bit of us is one place not knowing XD

[plush shard]

This man needs to get off the stage

He is not handong

[ocean epoch]

Accept no substitutes!

[modern flax]

Shouldn't be long now.

[plush shard]

✊

[night veldt]

I have two seats in row t 106 & 107. Free for anyone

I have those printed tickets with me if anyone wants those seats

[silver shuttle]

XD

I’m scared

[plush shard]

Bunch of old guys guarding the stage

Who are they stopping

[north coyote]

this merch line is insane, we might miss the beginning 😭

[silver shuttle]

All I’m thinking bc of if I missed my vip imma

[modern flax]

There are weirdos out there

[plush shard]

I bet theyre exmilitary

[pale musk]

Man atp I’m hoping I can even stay
I can’t get away feeling dizzy

Shout to the guy who asked if I was okay who walked by me

[torpid chasm]

Who’s hype guy

[plush shard]

That guy was very confident

[torpid chasm]

[plush shard]

More than me

[silver shuttle]

Did they say no recording??

[night veldt]

I don’t think I heard that

[torpid chasm]

they always do

[cursive cipher]

it's the same ownership as the arena so should be same rules

[silver shuttle]

Imma go to jail tonight

[plush shard]

That's one of those fake rules

Like speed limits

[pale musk]

I made it into the area I just mya not be able to stand 😅

I no longer feel dizzy just
Very bad shaking

[pale musk]

Saw one usher enforcing it

[cursive cipher]

enforcing no recording? omg 😮

[pale musk]

There was one guy who did it to two people in front of me and then I think he gave up 😂

[cursive cipher]

jiu should yell at the usher 😄

let somies record!

[pale musk]

Yes

[teal dragon]

Did the concert start already?

[pale musk]

30 or so minutes ago

[teal dragon]

Wtf they really not letting people record

[pale musk]

I only saw it stopped once

[teal dragon]

Ah ok

[pale musk]

No one’s walking up and down the aisles now either

[teal dragon]

Ah ok

I was about to say that soo dumb

[plush shard]

Handong is doing such a great job

[languid lion]

IKR

[prisma beacon]

this girl in front of me keeps putting her poster/lightstick up and blocking my view 🥲

[twilit vigil]

SuA will take care of it

[violet pier]

Looks like they’re rocking the Atlanta outfits again

[twilit vigil]

Niceee! I really like those outfits.

[rain wedge]

Ngl the ATL ones were elite

All their personal styles

[steep mountain]

[violet pier]

This was from Atlanta on 2/28, definitely been my favorite

Ohhhj

[plush shard]

@languid lion

[left sky]

i wonder if they sang hbd to dami yet

[pale musk]

Yup

[plush shard]

Quiet while handong is talking

[pale musk]

People yelling while they’re talking :(

All the “SHHHHS” I hear in the crowd

[steep mountain]

they did, I put a video in #dreamcatcher-chat

[left sky]

super pogchamp

[plush shard]

Uncouth behavior

[steep mountain]

people are just excited and Dreamcatcher knows how to work a crowd to gently redirect them away.

[pale musk]

They do

[left sky]

dreamcatcher are very, very good at their jobs lol

seeing them was my 4th show ever and like i was genuinely impressed with how they worked the crowd

(been to twice, loona, itzy, and dc)

was pretty cool energy is lit

hope the reading fellas are having a blast

[pale musk]

It’s amazing

[north coyote]

can vouch, we are

[plush shard]

It's better than dc. The acoustics here are incredible

[stiff pagoda]

I can hear other people screaming and it echos back to me it's wild

I hope someone has a video of Handong laying on the ground for a hot second haha

[plush shard]

I love her hat

[gentle forge]

Amazing show!!!!!!!

Good job everyone 👍

Great energy

[storm zodiac]

Encore energy was great

[ocean epoch]

So who’s up for some hi touch and pictures?

[storm zodiac]

Dami stick!!!!!

[ocean lantern]

Help

I’m looking for the check in

[storm zodiac]

I’m waiting near the back right of the first floor

Seats

[ocean epoch]

They haven’t said where to go yet, other than concessions for late checkin

[plush shard]

That was insane

[blazing wing]

Checkin is in the lobby in the center

[ocean epoch]

I feel bad for sick Gahyeon 😢

[storm zodiac]

Where is everyone at?

[ocean epoch]

And I know people were trying to be encouraging but they kept yelling over her when she was trying to talk

[blazing wing]

I’m just hanging out in the lobby. Don’t wanna leave lol

[ocean epoch]

I’m on the left side of 3 row. They’ll have us line up by V and VV

[cursive cipher]

so how was the venue compared to the arena?

[plush shard]

Better

Way better

[cursive cipher]

nice

[blazing wing]

I think the acoustics were really good

[cursive cipher]

cuz last year the reading show got high marks already

[plush shard]

Stupidly loud

[blazing wing]

We sounded louder than in nyc

Esp during the screaming match lol

[storm zodiac]

I can head over to the left side row 3

[ocean epoch]

Lots of chairs, while we’re waiting to find out where to go

[storm zodiac]

I’m seating in the second to last row

Wearing a cape

[blazing wing]

Well off to make the drive home. Have a great night everyone.

[storm zodiac]

Have a safe drive

[ocean epoch]

Found 2nd to last row. Comfy seats available

[stray lance]

If anyone wants a siyeon signed ticket and gets jiu I have one from a previous stop and am willing to trade

[violet pier]

I’m glad you guys had a good time after that venue ticket mess

[lucid storm]

It was awesome.

The person in front of me was the one who dami grabbed the banner from

[proper frost]

I almost cried when Gah cried not even lying I hate when she cries unless it’s happy tears

[lucid storm]

I hope she'll feel better soon

[dawn meadow]

Anyone have the setlist?

[patent ocean]

What happened? 😢

[proper frost]

She said she felt sick and cried

The members gave her lots of hugs

[ocean epoch]

I’ve got a SuA for Handong

[gloomy egret]

Anyone staying at the double tree that is still at the venue

[proper frost]

Also holy moly meeting them was like a dream. Words don’t do it justice when people say they’re prettier close up

[plush shard]

@ocean epoch if you're trying to trade jerseys there was someone on reddit looking for that exact exchange

[proper frost]

I told Dongie I loved her hair and she pointed to her lil tiny head and said thank you

[urban saffron]

I got gahyeon looking for siyeon for ppl that are here lol

[modern flax]

I have a Dami signature if anyone has Siyeon

[ocean epoch]

SuA gave me bunny ears in one of the pictures (I felt it!) hopefully they choose that one

[ocean epoch]

It’s for the signed ticket cards, but since SuA was behind me in the picture i’ll hold onto it for now. I can bring it to Dallas if I change my mind

[teal dragon]

Bro I was at the New York one and I was too scared to look back at dami to ask for a pose

[violet pier]

Dang now I’m curious from Atlanta lol

[ocean lantern]

To the girl that was very nice with me in the VVIP, thanks!!! 😭i was the girl with Handong name in the head. Thanks to you i wasn’t so nervous or anxious💜

[torpid chasm]

PARTY

[steep mountain]

Huh, is that a setlist change?

[torpid chasm]

No

I’m an idiot

Ignore my dumbness

[ocean epoch]

I was looking at the meet & greet pictures from last tour, and the members were very active behind insomnias’ backs 🤔 guess we’ll see!

[steep mountain]

I was about to say lol

Well I'm glad for the most part things went well for you all

[torpid chasm]

I was talking about this song for like 20 minutes with someone about this song and it must have been glued to my brain when I typed that

[violet pier]

Perfect, I was sitting infront of SuA also, so I’ll be curious to see how that goes lol

[storm zodiac]

I sat in front of dami and we did hearts 😭 and showed her my dami PC

Told sua she was my favorite and showed her the statue pc

[torpid chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyc_kW9qLrQ??

[terse pivot]

I sat in front of Sua, she was SO excited and cute 😭😭

[storm zodiac]

Yes!!!

[terse pivot]

We did hand hearts too

For the photo! I couldn't HANDLE IT

[storm zodiac]

Can’t wait for the group photos

[ocean lantern]

I did a heart with Dami

I was going to said something in spanish to yoohyeon

But my brain💀

[night veldt]

Sua and I had some laughing challenges. She laughed, i followed. Her laugh went deeper and I followed

[proper frost]

Silent Night will always be THAT song at concerts

[storm zodiac]

Yeah after the photo all could tell dami was thank you in Korean

[proper frost]

AND we got an extra drop.

[modern flax]

Maybe but Reason hits so much harder live -- and it already hits pretty hard normally

[steep mountain]

More than two? They've been repeating them for the hype across tour stops, heh

[proper frost]

yeah reason goes hard for different reasons but silent night is my go to

[violet pier]

Reason hit hard in Atlanta with the banners. Was my favorite part of the show honestly

[modern flax]

I struggled with the urge to watch fancams for it but I'm glad I didn't

I wanted to be smashed in the face with it live

[crimson creek]

Meet and greet was incredible. Yoohyeon siyeon sua and dami got a kick out of my shirt and I got to make a heart and have a convo with dami. Everything was nicely paced

[tall granite]

Yo them DoubleTree cookies are off the hook NGL

[gentle forge]

What an amazing show

[proper frost]

I hope they come back to Reading again

[gentle forge]

I hope they do the same venue in Reading!

The energy was incredible. They could see us and we were so loud

[proper frost]

the acoustics were 👌

felt the bass through my entire soul

[gentle forge]

I’m really really happy after everything that we got to give them a great reception

[lucid storm]

I liked this venue better than last years

[gentle forge]

It felt like a private show

[proper frost]

I think they liked us better this year tbh lol. Lots more energy even with less people

[gentle forge]

NYC was a great show this year but i think Reading has it beat

Dami’s birthday celebration was very nice

That picture they used …. Lmao

[austere sentinel]

Gahyeon making me cry like that

[silver shuttle]

It was an amazing concert, happy to have meet toad, amazing guy. Hopefully see dc again

[modern flax]

I like the venue but wish they had started here instead of the Arena so we could have picked our seats better

[austere sentinel]

I’m not sure, but I might have started the Dreamcatcher chant for the encore

[modern flax]

Somebody had to

[austere sentinel]

The energy here felt bigger than DC and NYC

[modern flax]

A small crowd, but mighty

Everybody here really wanted to be there

Except for the dude next to me, who weirdly spent the whole time on his phone

Not filming or taking picture

[austere sentinel]

[modern flax]

Like scrolling Facebook

[proper frost]

mans just on social media lmao

so strange

[modern flax]

Yeah I have no idea what was up

But I was subtly checking my pocket to make sure my wallet was still there

[proper frost]

always smart

[austere sentinel]

I managed to see DC leaving and coming back to the hotel today

[proper frost]

i had so much crap stuffed in my pockets no one taking anything lol. Freebies, phone, wallet mask, power cable...

[modern flax]

Actually you never want to be too obvious about doing that - pickpockets put up signs saying "pickpockets near" and watch people to see where they pat their pockets to know exactly where to strike

[gentle forge]

@modern flax Were you in row X left side?

[modern flax]

Yeah

[gloomy egret]

If anyone that was in boxes d, e, and f you guys were so loud it made for a lot of fun.

[gentle forge]

Hey i was the other guy next you, screaming lol

[modern flax]

Rock on

[gentle forge]

Nice to meet ya!

[modern flax]

You too

If the dude didn't have an usher walk him to the seat with a ticket I would've guessed he wandered in somehow

Like "who's playing? eh, fuck it, a show's a show"

[gentle forge]

He came like right before it started to. Maybe he was idk a reporter or something.

[modern flax]

Man, back to reality (ope, there goes gravity) tomorrow

[gentle forge]

Everything is grey after Dreamcatcher 😕

Seriously what an incredible show. And the people who are also staying in my airbnb were at the show! So we got to talk about how great it was

[austere sentinel]

I don’t know how to go back to normal life without DC concerts

[gentle forge]

Just a countdown for next year

[modern flax]

PCD is real

[proper frost]

the concert depression hasnt hit me yet. Probably because this was one of the best experiences ive had. But Im waiting for it

[steep mountain]

entirely possible it was a parent separated from his kid by the ticket shuffle

[proper frost]

and because Damis live rn. Gotta keep it rolling

[modern flax]

Ah, true

Though there was a seat next to him which was empty so like his kid coulda joined him

[gentle forge]

Forever a mystery

[austere sentinel]

The security guy was slightly thrown off when he saw my leg holster

[modern flax]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gentle forge]

Ah hey! I was waiting outside the hotel with you. I had the robe on. Nice to meet ya!

For the final glimpse

🥹

[austere sentinel]

Oh, awesome

Yeah, worth it

I felt bad for Gahyeon though, she def wasn’t feeling well

[gentle forge]

Yeah that sucks. Never would have know either. I hope shes not sick and she feels better soon.

[tall granite]

One of the members is my hotel neighbor. Somehow ended up on the same floor With them lol. Came to my room when staff was delivering dinner to members

[proper frost]

Poor Gah

[gentle forge]

I am forever blown away by their professionalism.

[gentle forge]

Wow!

[proper frost]

Dami just said she's eating chicken wings and potatoes too

[tall granite]

Yep lmao saw the chicken wings boxes and the tower of coke cups poor man's was carrying lol.

[proper frost]

they always eat well

[tall granite]

For sure

[gentle forge]

They deserve it, they work so hard

[tall granite]

That's for sure. Amazing show

[proper frost]

Dami gonna turn into a Gremlin. Its after midnight and shes GRUBBIN

[gentle forge]

It was an incredible show

Very interested what makes into the vlogs from this stop.

Sua shoe shopping 😅

[blazing wing]

Just got home. It was raining/sleet out there. Careful driving home

[proper frost]

oh yeah sua did talk about her lil shoes

I could honestly watch vlogs of them shopping all day lol. They'd make it interesting

[tall granite]

I'm pretty sure she got this shoes from the store downtown called the plug I was in there earlier and they have some mean kicks

[blazing wing]

I was wondering where they went shopping. Not much around the hotel

[proper frost]

its called The Plug?

OHHH

i love shoe stores like that

so expensive though

[grave bramble]

Great night everyone! That was a lot of fun

[gentle forge]

:SuaNod:

[proper frost]

i still havent processed it fully that I got to meet the girls dream come true

[blazing wolf]

Thank you everyone for one of the best nights of my life I met so many awesome people I’m so happy

[modern flax]

It was a great time and a great show 😄

[steep mountain]

As with the other threads this one lasts for 3 days after show time so feel free to keep commisserating

so glad discord came out with forums in time for tours, it has made our job so much easier

[gloomy egret]

Thank you so much for the freebies and the banner event.

[sharp pike]

No odd eye or maison but yeah it was ok

[modern flax]

There are a few songs I missed but we got some I never thought we'd see live again so I can't really complain

I mean, they performed WHAT

[gentle forge]

What. You and I. CHASE ME.

[north coyote]

actually icnreidble

[gentle forge]

Polaris ❤️

WIND BLOWS

THEY DID IT

[sharp pike]

Gotta be honest I don’t know any of those songs but yeah they were good

[modern flax]

Yeah. Like I wish they did English Tension but I can't get enough of that song. And Odd Eye is a banger. But hearing the old stuff live... worth.

[gentle forge]

thats ok. Its cool you got exposed to them at a really good show 👍

[modern flax]

I'm not even sure they performed What in 2019 and they only had 7 title tracks at the time >_>

[gentle forge]

Odd Eye would have been great, i agree. They did Scream and BOCA so it would have been nice to complete the set

[modern flax]

Missed Good Night too but we got Chase Me

I mean if I was picking my ult setlist there are certainly changes I'd make but I understand they want to showcase more styles

[gentle forge]

We got the chorus of Good Night in NYC

[north coyote]

i will forever be disappointed that i haven't seen sleep-walking live, but it was still a fantastic show once again

[sharp pike]

Sleep-walking is an absolute banger

[gentle forge]

100%

I love the medley encore, but would have cried tears of joy for the full Full Moon

[proper frost]

i was straight up headbanging during What

it goes hard

[storm zodiac]

I got some freebies I love them all I’m only missing the jiu Pokémon card 😢

[urban saffron]

Still looking for a siyeon signed ticket for gahyeon if anyone's still here lol

[stiff pagoda]

I wonder how people got like a front row seats at the bottom when the venue was changed. Was it by chance??

[lucid storm]

It was based on cost

So they spent like 300 dollars. We spent around 250 and ended up in box d by the end of things

[ocean epoch]

Dami’s Birthday https://youtu.be/vyutxSBYnrg
Just got home an hour ago, so the rest won’t be up until later tonight 😴

[steep mountain]

That and I'm sure some people complained or negotiated hard enough to get upgrades or seat changes if they were swapped in a way they felt unfair

[lucid storm]

That's definitely a possibility

[gentle forge]

Any good breakfast recommendations for Reading? Or the general area around here

[stiff pagoda]

shoot, I would too if I spent $400, then, had to sit in the back or something, I was satisfied with just front balcony haha

[austere sentinel]

Back home and back to reality

[blazing wolf]

I’m prolonging it as much as possible ugh

[gentle forge]

Franklyn’s near the corner of Penn and 10th is a really good breakfast place fyi

And the owner IS Franklyn and he came out to chat with me, see how everything was, and when the reason for me visiting came up he said that he was really curious why everyone was here yesterday in their ‘outfits’ lol Real cool dude. Great restaurant

[blazing wing]

I have to say..my view from Row Y-5 in the back was still pretty awesome in this venue.

[storm zodiac]

I was in the back as well and it was still amazing

[analog hound]

Yea row T seat 26 but was still a really good view!

[urban saffron]

Dang I just realized I think I dropped my DC vip too gift pouch at the venue 😭

[analog hound]

Noooo

[blazing wing]

Oh Noooo

[grave hinge]

rip

[blazing wing]

That was me last night when I realized I had dropped the handout signs after getting to my seat. Ugh..

Merch desk didn't give me a bag so I was busy trying to stuff everything into my hoodie pocket and carry mongmong, soda, and cellphone at same time.

BTW, is anyone going to other tour dates? Would really love the car decal, they were all sold out in Reading.

[austere sentinel]

I tried to get a jersey after VIP was done and they only had XL

Let’s see if they do any online orders once everything is finished

[stray lance]

Goodbye reading

Otw to chicago

[prisma beacon]

the pcd is hitting 🥲

during hi-touch i was so distracted by how pretty jiu was that i don’t even remember giving high fives to sua and handong

[blazing wing]

Ahh flashbacks of 2019.. last time I did VVIP

[prisma beacon]

jiu was all like “hii!!😇” and i was put into a TRANCE

[blazing wing]

yeh, all I could say was 'Thank you!!' - it went by so fast

[prisma beacon]

i didnt even say anything i was so mesmerized

i did manage to say yes baby yes to siyeon though

oh and i didnt even plan this but like when i high fived yoohyeon i was like “oh my god you’re so pretty” like the words just came out without me even thinking

[blazing wing]

Well, can't argue with that.

[sharp pike]

Merch line was so long I didn’t even bother

[blazing wing]

Yep. I missed Chase Me and You and I just to get the tour sticker and magnet. lol
Saw them already in nyc so was not too stressed when the show started and my lightstick started synching.

[grand plinth]

Pdc is setting in for me too, and I feel so silly for the way I handled VVIP. Just the cringe of like, they're so good and I was a mess lol

[plush shard]

Next time i need to stop being poor and buy vip

I would probably just look at handong and nod my head

[night veldt]

I went in line when then when said it wrapped upstairs, I said no way

[plush shard]

I wish reading did all day merch tables like the other venues ive been to

[grand plinth]

It was wild how it went down the stairs and then looped back around again. I stood outside for about 1.5 hours before doors opened so I managed to get up there when it was just looped around the top

[ocean epoch]

In Atlanta I was really focused on what I said to each member, but didn’t pay enough attention to the experience. I was trying to be more present for this one but instead I just failed at both my comments and observations 🤷🏻‍♂️

[grand plinth]

Oof I feel that. I didn't really plan out what I was going to say so I just ended up saying thank you because head empty

As soon as I saw JiU (of course she was 1st lol my weakness), I just lost all hope for myself sounding like a real person

[gloomy egret]

I wanted to say "You're doing everything just fine" like the English lyrics for Tension to Gahyeon, but I was not expecting her to be second in line.

So all I ended up saying was thank you.

At least I got to say happy birthday to Dami.

[ocean epoch]

JiU was first in Atlanta too. Wham! I think the layout makes it harder too. You turn the corner around the sheet and she’s right there. I know they’re trying to keep a lock on filming, but if they gave us a little bit longer runway we could mentally regroup. Or try, anyway.

I wanted to say “잘했다” to Gahyeon, but didn’t recognize, remember, and get it out until I was already past her. Partially JiU’s fault. And by the end of the line I was so tripped up I forgot Dami’s “생일 축하합니다”.

I don’t have anything life changing to tell the members in a second or two anyway, so I don’t think I’ll add a 3rd hi touch for Dallas. I just would’ve liked to do better to feel like I got my money’s worth.

[grand plinth]

I'm glad I did VVIP for this reason. Hi-touch without the photo wouldn't be worth it imo. I had a few seconds during the photo part to tell JiU she's my bias and do a little finger heart thing with her. I actually got to say feel better soon to Gahyeon as well as I was getting up to leave

The VIP experience is not worth the cost considering you don't even get all the merch and it's like... less than 10 seconds from start to finish with them

[ocean epoch]

Really would’ve liked to say “You did well” or “Feel better” to Gahyeon. Just the day before I finally saw a ments cam from Atlanta where Gahyeon repeated my “가지마“ 😵

https://twitter.com/toadcola/status/1632399713805950976?s=46&t=AgDMhGVIbpxQmNlFHkPKhQ

#Gahyeon repeated my '가지마' and I almost died.

also thanks to InSomnia for picking up the chant so I didn't look (as) crazy!

[grand plinth]

Gahyeon looked so sad about the whole sickness thing but I wish I would've been able to tell her she killed it. The beginning half or so of the concert I was literally thinking she was going at 110% since I've only ever seen her be lowkey live (at least in person). I think she tried to do more because she didn't want to seem sick but she definitely tired herself out

[ocean epoch]

I did not take full advantage of the extra VV time. I was too busy being well behaved.

I bought it more for the signature anyway. I had a Brave Girls group picture that I’ve looked at maybe once or twice since I got it. Although if they release the one where SuA gave me bunny ears (or if she was doing it for all of them not just the one I felt) then the group shot will have been worth it.

Yeah I didn’t notice anything wrong with her until she said. Also during final ments I think JiU said there was a problem earlier in the show but I wasn’t sure what that was referring to, does anyone know?

[grand plinth]

Was this where they said there were issues halfway through? I think that was referring to the ticketing/venue fiasco, but I don't remember anything else coming up

Unless I missed it because the people around me wouldn't stop yelling

[ocean epoch]

Oh ok, that could be it. I thought they were referring to the actual show performance. But yeah that’s probably it.

[grand plinth]

That's what I took it as. It seemed like they were talking about how things weren't going right initially but they were happy to see us all there

[blazing wing]

They were probably a little concerned/disappointed when they heard they couldn't fill the arena but cheered up once they felt the energy of the crowd.

[plush shard]

Venue change turned out to be a blessing tbqh

[analog hound]

I really liked the venue it felt so much more intimate, but it does suck we couldn’t fill in the arena - it’s a nice arena.

[plush shard]

MGM seemed pretty full although i couldn't see the higher levels. I think it was just the venue split. If I could only choose one or the other I would take National Harbor over reading and a lot of people were probably in that position

Seems like the key to enjoying your time in reading is just don't go near the housing

[crimson creek]

post concert depression hits hard when you're working on 3 hours of sleep. i wanna talk with dami again, i dunno why, but i felt so relaxed talking with her. with yoo or jiu i would have tripped over my words

[blazing wolf]

I don’t know how I thought I could go to class today the second I saw my bed I was like

[austere sentinel]

I’ve been working since about 9 and I have a dentist appointment soon. I’m tired and my voice is shot

[sharp pike]

I got better seats out of it so ja

[sharp pike]

It was so loud and distorted I couldn’t hear what the translator was saying

[plush shard]

speaking of, its always the same translator. is she present at all the shows or just the east coast ones?

[night veldt]

I think different venues have a different translator

[sharp pike]

Very loud, I can’t imagine how it would be next to the speakers

[night veldt]

I had concert earplugs in

It also cleared up the quality of the music for me

[sharp pike]

Yeah a nice lady sitting next to my mom gave her some because she was having a tough time with the noise

[torpid chasm]

I’m on my flight, and I already wanna come back 😭😭

@ocean epoch thank you, nice to meet you in reading

[prisma beacon]

same i could not hear the translator😭

[prisma beacon]

i’ve been thinking about the smile jiu gave me all day😭

girlfriend DID smth to me

i fear she may have taken the spot of bias wrecker

[grand plinth]

Yeah I know the crowd was loud but also the sound system was not ideal for this kind of concert imo. I enjoyed what the girls did but I genuinely couldn’t tell you if they were singing live or not (except for the obvious high notes) because of the feedback from the audience and echoing. I was under the balcony and I would’ve preferred the arena 100x more

[grand plinth]

Yeah it was really sucky that so many fans acted ridiculous

[prisma beacon]

dude it pissed me off when people would scream for members when a different member was talking

like stop! you’re annoying and rude!!!!!

it’s not hard to wait for little pauses during ments or songs

[grand plinth]

Honestly I was just annoyed at the guys in front of me with like extra long mongie that they’d keep using to touch the ceiling (are we 7??), dancing between their seats and the empty ones next to them so I couldn’t see because they also kept raising their drinks in the air for no reason

Also the guys kept putting mongie over the like 2-ish rows in front of them and idk how they didn’t get called out bc they could’ve hit someone

[prisma beacon]

i had a similar problem 🙂

like girl i cant SEEEEEE

[grand plinth]

That’s so annoying. People just have to get their attention at all times

I could tell when they looked in our direction that they saw the guy holding mongie and they did not look impressed lol

[prisma beacon]

frl:(( i had my poster but i specifically asked the people in the rows behind me if it was ok that i put it up for a few seconds during a ment and they said yes

i only put it up twice for like 3 seconds😭

[grand plinth]

That’s really good of you to do! I tried to keep mongie at eye level (I’m like SuA height so short af) or a few inches higher when responding to their ments for like a few secs each. It was my goal to let the girls be visible any time they were speaking or singing

[sharp pike]

Nah that one person that screamed “I LOVE YOU” like 15 times throughout the show

[grand plinth]

I don’t think I had anyone behind me regardless tho, so it probably didn’t matter

[prisma beacon]

i wanted to rage 🙂

all the people that were like “shhhhhh” LOL

[plush shard]

She must love them a lot

[prisma beacon]

i only yelled for siyeon when there was a very obvious lull in their ments and everyone was quiet

[grand plinth]

I think there’s definitely a time and place to do it and it’s really just common sense… that a lot of people unfortunately don’t have. Covid messed up social cues I think

[plush shard]

I shouted for handong a bunch but im shy so i only ever did it when everyone else was yelling 🙃

[prisma beacon]

i agree!

[grand plinth]

Lmao me not saying anyone’s name because I’m shy 😭😭

[prisma beacon]

there were so many opportunities for me to yell but i was also shy and a bit nervous😭

[plush shard]

I really couldn't hear anything she said because everyone was yelling over the translator

Really made me sad

[prisma beacon]

i had literally planned for a good month to scream “LETS GO SIYEONNNN” right before her high note in vision and my plan came beautifully into fruition

[grand plinth]

Dongie always gets mistreated and it makes me so fkin mad

[prisma beacon]

ugh me too

like i wanna hear what they’re saying🥲

[prisma beacon]

THIS

[grand plinth]

I wish she was either at the beginning or end of the hi-touch line because I wanted to be able to like pay her more attention

[sharp pike]

It does not matter what they say you must SCREAM

[plush shard]

Btw I'm a little inattentive, do they redistribute lines for her in scream now or is it the same as the album?

[gloomy egret]

My group was so rushed I barely had time to turn around to see which member put their hand on my hat during the group photo.

[grand plinth]

Yeah, she has some of the other members’ lines. She does JiU’s “hanado” part the 1st time

[gloomy egret]

Considering it was SuA it probably was bunny ears

[grand plinth]

Idk if I spelled right sorry lol

[plush shard]

Oh cool. I have to listen more closely next time

[grand plinth]

SAME it was so rushed. I got yelled at for talking to JiU for no more than 5 seconds lmao

[gloomy egret]

I only had time to say thank you to each of them. I barely was able to say happy birthday to Dami because she was at the end.

[prisma beacon]

i am racking my brain trying to remember high fiving her and i just cant

like i do not remember it

all i remember is jiu siyeon and gahyeon😭

[grand plinth]

That’s what it was like for our hi-touch the first go around and it was so sad. We had more time leaving the photo part but it was still only like 2 seconds each instead of 1

[prisma beacon]

i was so dazed

[grand plinth]

Same here, I do remember seeing her and she was so beautiful but I don’t remember high fiving most of the members 😭

[prisma beacon]

where in line was she😭

jiu was the very first and dami was last im pretty sure

[grand plinth]

I wanna say 5th in line?

I know it went JiU, Gahyeon, x x x x Dami

[prisma beacon]

siyeon was 3rd

because i was not expecting her to be 3rd

[gloomy egret]

I remember high fiveing everyone except Yoohyeon

[prisma beacon]

and i was like oh shit my bias is in front of me rn

[gloomy egret]

SuA was right before Dami

[prisma beacon]

oh shit rlly?

[grand plinth]

Same with JiU for me!!! I died a bit ngl

[prisma beacon]

i swear that woman cast a spell on me

[grand plinth]

I’m glad I’m not the only person who forgot some of the hi-touch lmao. It was too surreal

[prisma beacon]

i saw her and literally was like enchanted😭

[prisma beacon]

i was trying so hard to remember some of the members and just couldn’t

[grand plinth]

That’s how I felt with them all, but then Dami is just so chill I genuinely can’t describe how I felt seeing her

[prisma beacon]

yesss dami looked so relaxed

[grand plinth]

That’s how it was like 2 seconds after it was over for me. Sucks but we’ll always have the photo and the memory

[prisma beacon]

she gave me a little head nod i was like

[grand plinth]

She did!! I think she’s just such a people person but in an introverted way

[prisma beacon]

i didn’t get a group photo💔

next concert though for sure

[prisma beacon]

she’s just like me haha

[grand plinth]

Ahh noooo!! 😔 definitely recommend for next time but I totally get it. I was really torn for this time but went for it since I didn’t know if we’d get Reading again

[prisma beacon]

i bought vip like 2 days before the concert LOL

so vvip was obviously sold out

also is it just me or after you see a group in concert you start to stan them even harder?

like i used to be a skz ult but after seeing ateez they quickly took that #1 spot😭

i don’t even stan skz anymore lol

[grand plinth]

Absolutely. Last year I didn’t know DC’s entire discography when I saw them and afterward I got suuuuper into them and played their music pretty much nonstop all summer

I’ve been a Kpop stan for 13-ish years so sadly I don’t really stan a lot of groups anymore, just casually partake in listening and some memes. DC is the only group I stan for real at this point

[prisma beacon]

yess!! i’m already pretty familiar with their disc and i think they’re my top listened to artist on spotify but i think the obsession is going to deepen haha

[grand plinth]

Sameeee hahah. I think last year I was in like the top 0.5% of listeners or something lol. They’re just so good & cover any mood or vibe

[prisma beacon]

oh wow! i became a once in late 2018 and only stanned them and bts until 2020 ish when i discovered skz

and then 2021 was just a mess i had no clue which group i liked the most lol

and now i’m just a casual multi

[grand plinth]

It’s so wild to me how everyone has a different story about how they got into Kpop but I love that! I was a lowkey once at one point. I used to be a pretty hardcore exo-l but exo’s entire group history is a hot mess. Before them I guess I would’ve been a playgirl(?) aka After School stan

[prisma beacon]

oh awesome!!!

i’ve always enjoyed 2nd/3rd gen groups

[grand plinth]

3rd gen is probably my favorite for right now, but I’m excited to see where 4th gen goes

[prisma beacon]

me too!

[sharp pike]

Stanning is exhausting

[prisma beacon]

agree.

[crimson creek]

One reason why I’m glad I recorded so much when I was front row. So many interactions that happened that are mending my depressed heart haha.

(In Ny)

When I’m old with dimensia, these will be the clips that bring me comfort. Along with pics of my pets

[prisma beacon]

omggggg i love that

[blazing wing]

I actually saw people leaving before the encore. I was yelling "Nooo..Don't leave yet! Wait!" but they all ignored me. LOL

[analog hound]

I was to shy to say something to the three people infront of me that left as soon as it “ended”. In my mind I was like do they not know there’s an encore. And was debating real hard on to say something or just silently watch as they left, by the time I decided to say something it was too late and my voice wasn’t loud enough.

[night veldt]

Big smile right! When I turned and saw her for the VVIP event, her smile was so cute!!!

[night veldt]

You got that and I got this girl at the end of the 2sec video. I had to end the clip. There was no reason recording the back of a poster board during the ment.

[sharp pike]

In all honesty I thought it was over, it was black for like a solid minute

[blazing wing]

Gotta have patience. Takes anyone a few minutes to change clothes and suck down some water. 🙂

[sharp pike]

I think it’s easy to get confused when they say their “final goodbyes” then come back

[night veldt]

My sister always says, don’t leave the club until the club lights are turned on lol. With DC, that’s how it goes too

[austere sentinel]

People leaving the Reason concert before hearing Reason...

[proper frost]

The post concert depression is starting to hit now that I realize I have to go back to work tomorrow

but at the same time im still on cloud nine some weird feelings

[plush shard]

Going back Thursday and not looking forward to it

I think that was the actual best show of my life

[robust osprey]

Literally me… jiu is my bias and so after seeing her first right as I got to the top of the stairs I blacked out 😭

[proper frost]

I got the biggest smile from Jiu. Its gonna take a lot for that moment to be topped

Also trying to ease the PCD with that even though the shows over for me they aren't really going away. Still more concerts and content from them

[prisma beacon]

SAME except i’m siyeon biased haha

i had already felt like i was gonna pass out (just felt super nauseous and light headed) so when i saw jiu i swear my vision got foggy LOL

[prisma beacon]

yes! i’m really looking forward to their next tour, reading was my only stop

i also might see itzy with my dad this year haha

i have to choose between them and twice and twice tickets would be much harder to get unfortunately

[proper frost]

itzy would be fun

Yeji

[prisma beacon]

my dad is in LOVE with yeji

[proper frost]

shes awesome

[prisma beacon]

he liked yuna at first and i was like dad no she’s MY AGE.

[proper frost]

lmao

[night veldt]

I ended up sitting in front of Sua. We went back and forth on a laughing call and response. I would laugh like her when she laugh and she kept going deeper in her laugh. Did it until the lady told us all the rules for photos

[blazing wing]

Back in the coffin it goes til next time

[candid estuary]

Ease the pcd by going to more stops

[prisma beacon]

if i had the money 🙏🏼

[blazing wing]

If I was still single… 😂

[night veldt]

I wished I could that too lol. Gotta get back to the work world. At least I was able to go to two concerts this time around

[blazing wing]

Yes . I’m happy with two also

[austere sentinel]

I'm going to use the VR concert to ease the transition

[proper frost]

I wanna find a lightstick holder or something so I can display it. too cool to pack it away in the box for another year

[candid estuary]

I should probably 3d print one when im home

My candybong is on display but not the mongmongie

[torpid chasm]

Couldn’t agree more. Even I tried to keep the ears down on my bunny suit to avoid blocking views.

We also had our two groups for the photo op get messed up because of the group in front of us lied and ended up being two people short which caused two from my group to get pull and get two pulled from our other group. One of the couples in our groups got split which pissed us all off. We tried to tell staff and they said they didn’t care.

I was two seats away from JiU this time.😤

[blazing wolf]

Lmao dude sorry you didn’t get to sit next to minji but I was literally separated from my fiancée bc of this.

[storm zodiac]

@ocean epoch I watched your love shake video. Amazing!! Hopefully you get the sig you want in Dallas have fun

Were we all seated for the vvip pic? I didn’t pay attention because I was excited that I was sitting in front of Dami. A friend going to Denver wanted to know where the girls were compared to the seating for the photos

[lucid storm]

That sucks

[teal dragon]

I was in the second to last group in nyc and both groups were 11 so we got lucky about that

[prisma beacon]

y’all the two guys next to me at the concert are youtubers and i just found this

when he went “MITS!” i was like omg i feel honored

[dapper flicker]

Lol

[sharp pike]

Crazy

[blazing wing]

Anyone know what the size of the car decal is?

[ocean epoch]

Great! Glad you liked it.
I’m still bouncing between SuA Handong and Gahyeon 😅 hopefully I figure it out by Dallas

[ocean epoch]

Big! I took a picture or it with my freebies. (Thanks for all the freebies!)

[pine jetty]

That banner, do you know who spearheaded that?

[proper frost]

Back to normal life today the girls are gone. Time to fight the PCD

[blazing wolf]

Top banner was me and the bottom was my friend opal!

[crimson creek]

I didn’t realize they had a car decal like that. I made my own with my cricut. Would have picked that up for a side window

[torpid chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gek_-roBqM

[gentle forge]

So great

[proper frost]

I really hope they perform What if I ever see them again. I was straight up headbanging during that song

[ocean epoch]

Crowd shot during Silent Night
https://youtu.be/cPz0x3QgAHo?t=144

[night veldt]

Every time I hear What on Spotify, I am alway “oh! That’s my jam!”

I love What

[proper frost]

It’s so good

[night veldt]

Yes!!!

[proper frost]

Last year Break the Wall was my favorite. That song just puts me in a mood

[blazing wolf]

I’ve always liked What, but hearing it live made me a What believer

Like it SKYROCKETED up my list

[night veldt]

I love all their song but for some reason What just hit differently for me. I can’t even explain why. It’s just my song! 😍

[proper frost]

I miss Odd Eye though ngl. One of my favorite choreos

[night veldt]

I miss it too. For sure I thought they were gonna complete the trilogy since they performed Scream and Boca.

[proper frost]

And BEcause. Probably my actual favorite for the end dance break.

[grave bramble]

and seeing the choreo live!!! it looks soooooo cool

[gentle forge]

Getting to see Wind Blows live was incredible.

I’m so happy for What and Wind Blows 🥰

I was really hoping for Full Moon choreo but the medley with Over the Moon into Reason was really nice and it made for a really powerful finale

I think it’s really cool that NYC was a big show, MSG, middle of Manhattan on a Saturday, so we got them looking slick in their suits. And for Reading it was a lot more intimate and personal and they were in more comfortable, casual clothing.

[night veldt]

That was a great way to end the concert

[gentle forge]

It really does help with the whole general atmosphere of the shows, and in Reading in particular it was awesome how it really felt like it was a show just for us …

[night veldt]

My cousin was asking me about their outfits too. She has only been to male KPop groups and seen coordinated clothing. She was shocked DC wore comfortable clothes that did not coordinate with each other

[gentle forge]

Normally even DC’s outfits are coordinated (in my experience that is)

I really liked how casual they were in PA

[night veldt]

She asked if they really performed like that. I told her that sometimes they do coordinate and sometimes they just wear casual

She loved the casual look. I did too

[gentle forge]

Yeah i bet that is kinda shocking if someones just used to the big outfits of most kpop

And its so hot on stage!!! Like girls we want you to be comfortable lol

[night veldt]

It was for her lol. She was questioning me and I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say since I have only seen DC perform. Haha eventually figure it out and explained it to her

[gentle forge]

Lol that’s funny

[night veldt]

She even ask what company DC worked under. I told her DreamCatcher Company and she was lost. I literally gave her a crash course on the history of DC.

[gentle forge]

😂 they are like almost totally seperate from everything else kpop

[proper frost]

“The group with the best natural growth in the industry”

[night veldt]

I literally said they are under DreamCatcher Company and she was like no what company. I told her it was DCC. DC is under DCC. I was able to teach her a lot about DC

[gentle forge]

Helping a Somnia

[night veldt]

I sure am. Always ready to recruit people haha. She only knows of the big company KPop groups

[proper frost]

To be quite honest I’m sort of glad they aren’t with one of the huge companies. Just too many bad stories over the years

[night veldt]

Same here. I like DC as they are.

[proper frost]

DCC ain’t perfect but they aren’t cruel.

And CEO is funny

[steep mountain]

in the end the group's entire roster renewing is the best argument for the company being solid from what we know.

even if the group ends up peaking/has peaked with a decreasing numbers in the latter part of their careers as long as they are happy and the company treats them well I'm good.

much of what I'm seeing appears to be the beginning of setups for individual work - more subunit appearances, more solo appearances, gigs like Handong's radio show, etc.

[austere sentinel]

Hopefully we have a long time of them together while also being able to have their individual projects

[steep mountain]

most renewals are for 2-3 years in the industry. While we will likely not know until it happens I believe we have until 2025 at the earliest and 2027 at the latest.

total speculation there

which is why I think I'll just enjoy them for as long as we have them and not worry too much, myself

[austere sentinel]

We’ll just have to support them as much as we can and hope for the best

[steep mountain]

yep. The issue is that last year basically made the girl group landscape multiple times more competitive

[austere sentinel]

I think DC is unique in having a lot of fans that really mainly focus on DC and only casually follow other groups

[steep mountain]

they do but there is also a decent amount of churn of older fans pulled away by newer groups, so the reverse happens

[austere sentinel]

True

[steep mountain]

I think time and the numbers will tell how it all affects things

[austere sentinel]

I’m old enough that it feels weird to get into some of the newer groups being as young as they are

[steep mountain]

pretty much yeah

[gentle forge]

^^^ that’s definitely a weird issue.

[night veldt]

Same here! Love them and enjoy for as long as we can have DC

[austere sentinel]

I believe I heard SuA say she wants to make a “No Dot 2” so we have that to look forward to

[gentle forge]

They’re getting older now too so I’m sure they have to be thinking about their careers going forward. Choreo and schedule is hard on the body

[night veldt]

Another tour with No Dot 2 challenge…

[night veldt]

That is true

Whatever makes them happy. I will be happy too

[gentle forge]

Yeah

[left sky]

acting gigs

if anyone wants to act anyway

netflix gig

[blazing wing]

I'd be happy with them just singing and running around the stage.

[crimson creek]

HBOMax instead. Short series, about gorgeous girls who steal nightmares, and the antagonist is jyp in his plastic pants

[left sky]

netflix gives higher exposure tho

[crimson creek]

trueeee, so long as they don't drop that shit about sharing accounts in the US

[stiff pagoda]

I thanked Joel the manager at Santander for processing my refunds so quickly via email, and a second one I had to do the day of

he offered CIX tickets for Sunday, and I dont know that group so I politely said no, but I am glad that he offered bc it just shows how nice he was haha

I also dont wanna drive an hour again after doing it Monday OTL

[steep mountain]

best of a bad situation with decent service, good to hear

[austere sentinel]

The lady that was working the arena box office window was extremely nice too. I have to imagine she had a rough start to her day As soon as I walked up she asked “you’re here to get your ticket printed, right?”

It was under 2 minutes and my stress was lifted

[night veldt]

I find the staff at Santander to be very nice compared to other venues. That’s one of the reasons I traveled back to Reading for DC’s concert.

[night veldt]

One of the lady called back after I left a voicemail too about my ticket. I told her that TM finally emailed me my ticket. She was very nice and said that if I couldn’t print those tickets, just stop by the box office and they will get me my tickets.

Kudos to the Santander staff

[austere sentinel]

That might have been her. She was working the phone too

[night veldt]

Probably so. She was very sweet and nice over the phone

[night veldt]

I just wanted to say to all the Insomias that I met at the concert and in the doubletree lobby, thank you! Y’all are so welcoming and friendly. It was my first time talking to other insomias. I usually just go to concerts and mind my own business but this was the first time I interacted with you all. Thank you!

[gentle forge]

On Monday, I ate lunch around 2pm at Salsa Burrito and this man & woman also going to the show came in … the woman was ordering and I heard her say ‘Wait did I say tomatoes?!? OH NAAAUUURRR!!’ like incredibly loud and even the workers in the kitchen started laughing 😂 She was laughing too, she blanked and said tomatoes even though she hates them.

Idk it was just really funny. Maybe they’re in the discord

[plush shard]

I hope all my homies supported moes pizza

[torpid chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_XRDKoGXzw

[gentle forge]

Great seat !!!

[torpid chasm]

face value on tm a few hours before the concert

[gentle forge]

Didn’t even go through the whole venue change debacle ! Blessed

Me and my friends who went to NYC and PA kinda came to the conclusion that we can wait till closer to the show date to buy tickets and probably get better seats at more reasonable prices than first-day.
And i blame ticketmaster price gouging for that.

[candid aspen]

I think that’s fair especially if you’re from around there

[gentle forge]

the one advantage of living in NJ, pretty close to all major east coasts stops

[austere sentinel]

4 hours to DC and less to everywhere else

[gloomy egret]

Being from Michigan my options were very limited.

Only went to Reading last year because it was the closest seated venue. Then decided that it was a good location to go back to.

[gentle forge]

I stayed in a not-expensive airbnb in part of town i would describe as shitty, and it made me question if I’d want to come back. But that show was so amazing that I definitely would. The other people also staying in the airbnb drove from Vermont to see the show too!

[storm zodiac]

the double tree was pretty pricey it was just a friend and me for two nights. but it being close to the venue was good

[austere sentinel]

Compared to the Red Roof Inn I stayed at for the DC show, the Doubletree made me feel like royalty

[storm zodiac]

im sad i didn't get to try the cookies

[austere sentinel]

I didn't even think about it, I was just happy to get into my room

[gentle forge]

I might try and stay there if they come back just to try these cookies i keep hearing about

[teal dragon]

Shoot same

Lol

[torpid chasm]

Them cookies were bussing👌👌

[night veldt]

The cookies are the bomb!

[lucid storm]

What cookies are yall talking about?

[prisma beacon]

i remember someone was handing out cookies during vip check in! they could be talking about a different kind of cookie though haha

[austere sentinel]

DoubleTree has some promotion where you get a cookie at check-in I think

[night veldt]

DoubleTree’s famous cookies. It’s given to you when you checkin. It’s delicious and warm when given to you haha

[austere sentinel]

I did my check-in electronically

[night veldt]

Oh okay. Next time just stop by for the cookies 😂 I approve of the cookies

[austere sentinel]

[lucid storm]

We did too

[gentle forge]

I hope Dreamcatcher got to try them.

[night veldt]

I hope so too.

[crimson creek]

Is doubltree garage parking free if you have a room there? We parked there but we roomed at candlewood suites

If so might have to do that next time

[austere sentinel]

Yes

You get it validated at the front desk

Then you have in and out privileges during your stay

[torpid chasm]

Double Tree had some welcome cookies, but my friend Rika from the Dreamcatcher Wawacore server was handing out cookies to people in line

[grave bramble]

remind her she's awesome when you get a chance, was a good cookie :D

[torpid chasm]

Will do!!

[real ember]

Hey for anyone who brought a bag to this venue - how strictly was the bag policy enforced? My friends going there for CIX next week and is wondering.

[prisma beacon]

i had a 13x13x4 clear bag and they didn’t seem to care

[steep mountain]

A reminder that this thread is closing in a couple hours but feel free to hit the other chats and main chats if you like

[silver shuttle]

Hope to see you guys again one day.

[real ember]

Did it have a zipper? The policy says no zippers but my friend's only clear bag has one

[prisma beacon]

it did!!

two actually lol

[austere sentinel]

It looks like that show specifically says no photos or recording too. They tried to do that for Dreamcatcher but it lasted all of 2 minutes

[gloomy egret]

Santander staff watched me record the whole thing and I didn't get more than a few glances at the start. I think they thought it wasn't worth the effort to try to stop everyone.

[crimson creek]

I brought the tote bag from last tour and my friend had a small purple backpack. No one glanced twice at them. I think they also care more about streaming

I’ve seen streamers stopped but never people just recording or taking pics

[grave bramble]

I've brought zippered bags in twice now without realizing this was a rule last year I had a bag that was too big and they were like "thats too big " "it is but I mean... it is clear, think we can let it slide?" "ok yea go ahead but technically you're not supposed to bring that in" (and then someone later was like "howd you come in? [I answered] ok because that's not supposed to be allowed here it's too big")

this year I brought a smaller one (also had a zipper) and got absolutely nothing said about it on my way in

as long as its a clear bag they'll almost surely let you in with it
