oh we dont know for sure

meager owl
#

i do know there was a like

#

mega church ceremony

#

in the ballroom stage before the concert

empty tinsel
#

is that why the parking lot was insane for the cafe event?

#

but yeah i wonder if that had anythign to do with our schedule being changed. maybe they had to find extra staff or something

humble aurora
#

yes pretty much counting down as soon as i got sat

#

new york was way better in terms of comfortability in getting settled for the photo

empty tinsel
#

jiu felt a little less rushed but still rushed

#

i feel like the most conversation i had was when i was walking away saying thank you

tight nova
#

Y'all actually say meaningful stuff to them?

meager owl
#

i had asked yooh if everything was all good when i went to get my bag cause i felt guilty for not directly Asking her for a hug (cause again. did not have time to communicate a pose) but that was like, All that i was able to say between being rushed and also having anxiety

tight nova
#

I want a hug too 😵‍💫

empty tinsel
#

But didn’t even have time for that lol

#

But I’m still happy, show was fun and pictures came out good

blazing tinsel
#

I wanted to tell them how much they mean to me since I discovered them but literally only had time to say hi and bye 😭

#

I got to flex my bracelets to yoohyeon tho during send off lmao

empty tinsel
blazing tinsel
#

I would’ve given her one but I really didn’t want to risk being yelled at by staff 😭

empty tinsel
#

they were a little scary last night lol

buoyant rune
#

Ngl felt like we were all cattle 😅

empty tinsel
#

REAL

humble aurora
#

they announced no gifts right

blazing tinsel
#

Yes, they clearly stated no gifts before send off started

faint flower
#

people abused the polite privilege so it had to be done. It was supposed to not be allowed before anyway but it really had to be explicitly said after I saw a couple people in Chicago take up just a little too much time giving gifts and talking and taking a selfie

humble aurora
faint flower
#

you can see the person to my right in my sendoff video do exactly that with JiU

humble aurora
#

now they're speeding up send off a bit more

frosty kindle
#

i dont think time was the issue

#

they just dont have room for all the gifts in their luggage

#

and it's better not to accept them than to throw them away

tight nova
#

I don't remember who was in the no benefits + Snapshots only group, but they directed us to our "little corner"

#

😖

faint flower
#

time is always an issue

frosty kindle
#

okay the main issue

faint flower
#

the way to do it is the way JP concerts have done it in the past, which is there's a little box and you put your gifts in there and they make their way to the group eventually

humble aurora
#

i just don't get why people are giving them big gifts (bigger than letters/bracelets)

frosty kindle
#

bc the website says this

image.png
faint flower
#

no, you don't get your interaction but the gift gets where it is supposed to be and no time is wasted

frosty kindle
#

so i think maybe that's the main reason

#

which makes sense they wouldnt wanna pay for extra checked bags ig

faint flower
#

the problem is their FAQ messed up

#

you can see that is applicable only to a fan chat or fansign benefit

#

and not a sendoff

empty tinsel
#

honestly last night all of us expected to be there until midnight or 1 am since everything was after the concert. we finished at 11:15 PM and one of the venue staff literally ran to the door saying "we're done! time to leave!"

faint flower
#

but they do not make that question a sub-question of the what is a fansign/fanchat questions

frosty kindle
#

it would apply regardless tho

#

like there's the same amount of space in their luggage whether sendoff or fansign

faint flower
#

it would, but it needed clarification.

empty tinsel
#

another thing about the faq is they say no recordings during any fan engagements which you would think mean sendoff

frosty kindle
#

yeah isnt sendoff a newer thing tho?

faint flower
#

again, this does not list sendoff, yet photos or videos are allowed

frosty kindle
#

maybe its just not updated yet

humble aurora
#

yeah they're just not specific

faint flower
#

I don't know, but if it is, they should have updated their FAQ

empty tinsel
#

yeah while they have like the most extensive faq i've seen, it's definitely missing a lot of stuff

frosty kindle
#

but yeah logically it would still apply and that's why

empty tinsel
#

or they contradict some of it

faint flower
#

it's disorganized. It needs a re-work

humble aurora
#

also the atlanta show ended at 11pm too AND we had some VIP stuff done before the concert AND it felt too short too

#

AND the concert ended on time

faint flower
#

I was out of the venue at 11:20pm or so, it was about the right length

#

1:47 run time and about an hour and some change to run through 1:1 and sendoff

empty tinsel
#

yeah so we were like if yall get out at 11:20 and your vip stuff is beforehand then ours should take like 2 hours

frosty kindle
#

prob feels shorter bc not a full concert?

empty tinsel
#

we still wrapped in like the same amount of time as yall even though everything was after

humble aurora
#

nah i'm talking about the time for fan engagements/pictures

#

i definitely didn't want to be rushed for the pictures

#

that's like the only time they can see you closely

empty tinsel
#

yeah dallas was definitely rushed

frosty kindle
#

i dont think i was rushed

empty tinsel
#

o

#

i felt rushed lol

faint flower
#

it's a balance. the more people you have and more members you have, the more that time was important

frosty kindle
#

but maybe i just like didnt notice, i just ignore them if the members are still talking to me

faint flower
#

then you factor in the venue curfew and time to break down and that contributes

#

I think my time with Yoo was maybe 10-15 seconds

humble aurora
#

like we pay $100+ for these

empty tinsel
#

yeah i had like 3 seconds before they took their picture in dallas

faint flower
#

the members take the lead usually but there are also limits

frosty kindle
empty tinsel
#

tbf the members weren't really talking to me so there wasn't really anything nfor me to ignore

#

but i still felt rusehd haha

frosty kindle
#

ahhh i guess maybe that's why it was more rushed

humble aurora
#

the only downside was that SuA was talking to me too much during our photo in new york that it needed to be retaken because I wasn't paying attention to the camera

faint flower
#

staff can and should move things along even if the artist is taking a bit more time with someone, but it is very much a judge in the moment thing and you get good at it with practice

#

I've done it on that side of the fence before, trust me when I sa if a staff member moves you along it is, assuming they are not being rude, more than about rushing you

#

the difference between finishing on time and finishing 15-20 minutes late is literally money sometimes, depending on venue crew and especially if they are union

#

a tightly budgeted tour cannot afford to pay extra unless they are selling the house consistently on their stops, then you have a little wiggle room

empty tinsel
#

i understand that, i just like complaining lol

faint flower
#

however, to everyohne's point, I always told people not to be assholes about it

#

and to judge how the artist is interacting especially with some0one they are familiar with

empty tinsel
#

whats funny is when i was walking away from my pic with sua, she was like i love you and when i said it back, she looked so confused lol

faint flower
#

might not have heard you over the noise

humble aurora
#

mann I don't know it seemed like there wasn't enough time when I saw them the second time for them to even recognize who they're taking pictures with

#

but my other friend got interactions with them so maybe it's because I didn't really start conversation with them

tight nova
#

I wasn't at the send-off so it didn't affect me

#

but "WE'RE DONE. LET'S CELEBRATE" is so wild

faint flower
#

no it isn't

humble aurora
#

also they need to clean the backdrop they keep on reusing for the photos lmao it's getting dirtier at every stop

faint flower
#

that crew started their day likely at 5am or 6am, ended at 11pm, you are damn right I am celebrating when I close a show

#

fact is you're not even done after you get everyone out of there

tight nova
#

so I'm the same as the crew 😵‍💫

#

I even didn't have high-speed data to access Google Maps to get to the venue 😖

faint flower
#

did you load in a whole bunch of sound equipment, taped everything down, help assemble the stage, ensure the house audio matched the equipment brought in and all before mid morning so the artist could get in their first sound check? Then repeat again after a couple hours for rehearsal, barely get any lunch in then help out with line control all while coordinating with artist last minute stuff?

#

if you did not, no, you are not the same as the crew

tight nova
#

[I was joking 😛 ]

faint flower
#

I know you were

#

the fact is that through no fault of anyone's people rarely know what goes into this stuff

tight nova
#

I think people would be much more cooperative if they knew what the staff had to do to prepare an event as massive as this for us

faint flower
#

heh, you'd be surprised how many people know and are still assholes to the crew or staff working a show

tight nova
#

oh wow

faint flower
#

some of them are the artists or management

tight nova
#

people being assholes to artists or artists being assholes to the crew?

faint flower
#

the latter

#

but it happens both ways too

tight nova
#

I did NOT see that happening

#

I would think that crazy fans are likely

#

but not artists

faint flower
#

heh, ask anyone who does or did this work, if they are willing they will tell you at least one horror story about an artist who you wouldn't expect who is a rude jerk

#

I don't name names even years out of working events but it can be eye-opening

tight nova
#

I'm fine as long as it's not among my favorite groups 😖

#

which obviously this one is one of them

faint flower
#

if I'd had my mail answered by PAV I might have actually foregone my UAU ticket to work the show just for old time's sake

#

but I'm glad in retrospect that I didn't get an answer since the show was fun

tight nova
#

I was disappointed that the show had only 9 performances, but it's a fan concert, and I guess they didn't want to use OT7 DC songs

#

but given my experience yesterday, I would do it all over again

faint flower
#

honestly with less than half the group any dreamcatcher cover just wouldn't do it justice

shrewd parcel
#

Jeff had me laughing when he said “ive been waiting for this” during Sua’s solo

faint flower
#

I would have liked a couple more assembled special stages but honestly given how wild their scheduling has been since around april I am not surprised there wasn't time

tight nova
#

yeah and then she didn't even sing most of it DongCry

#

but I think SuA's solo stage is the most intense out of all of the solo stages if I recall?

shrewd parcel
#

I agree it was

faint flower
#

it has the most aggressive choreography

shrewd parcel
#

YooBinos maybe i should follow franks step and try to volunteer for a free show

faint flower
#

if you can and want to experience it once, it's very insightful. Tiring, but insightful. Then if you are one of the few who get bitten by the show bug and want to do more you can, and maybe make a little cash on the side if you want

blazing tinsel
#

I wouldn’t mind them doing Dreamcatcher songs next tour. Kinda like how ARTMS performs loona songs as 5 members

faint flower
#

wear comfortable shoes and clothes you aren't afraid to ruin, stow some water with your things

tight nova
#

I agree they wouldn't do it as well as if they were OT7

#

All of them are some of the best performers I've seen, but Siyeon is just tip of the top

shrewd parcel
#

But I am curious and might try for a future upcoming show if it’s on a weekend

faint flower
#

depends on the promoter, but for PAV it looks like they do volunteer call just before or juust after sales start

blazing tinsel
#

I wanted to volunteer for the show but sadly volunteers weren’t allowed to watch the concert at all

faint flower
#

yep

#

comes with the territory

#

you ain't there for the free stuff, you're there to work

shrewd parcel
#

DongCry i can’t watch?

faint flower
#

well you can, but it better be incidental to what you are doing for work

shrewd parcel
#

Ight so the move is to volunteer for a group I don’t care about as much…

tight nova
#

What about volunteering to perform with the artists 😵‍💫

shrewd parcel
#

That’s understandable. Do all promotors have volunteer like leo and all themem

faint flower
#

nope

humble aurora
faint flower
#

some of them are all-internal staff or if they do take on people it's contracted from the venue

tight nova
#

I'm not attractive enough for that 😖

faint flower
#

granted some of my knowledge is a bit old, so things are maybe different now

tight nova
#

Which speaking of, one of the backup dancers did catch my attention more than the members at multiple points

shrewd parcel
#

All good! I appreciate the info and will prob be on the watch out for future shows

faint flower
shrewd parcel
tight nova
#

You actually have to practice for it? 😖

#

okay never mind

blazing tinsel
#

I would be a backup dancer for them if I worked out more and had the stamina lollll

shrewd parcel
#

Also @velvet lily dm’ed btw

humble aurora
#

can i be a prop on the stage; i'll be a tree :3

faint flower
#

while they are good enough to pick up basic choreography fast what you see in a behind the scenes is most certainly condensed from days and hours of practice

tight nova
#

Hey if BIBI can use an audience member as a prop, why can't DC 😖

humble aurora
blazing tinsel
tight nova
#

I'd say 3 fans

#

one per member

faint flower
#

there's trust, but not that level of trust

tight nova
#

so what you're saying is that BIBI trusts her fans more than DC trusts their fans 😵‍💫

faint flower
#

well

#

yeah

#

also her songs, style and concept are vastly more provocative

outer hamlet
humble aurora
#

I don't trust all dc fans either lol

#

i wish they did pick more people for the games though

#

that would've been more fun

blazing tinsel
#

Yea I think some fans would ruin the experience if that happened

faint flower
#

even with UAU doing a mature concept I don't think they are doing one that would have something that exceeds what they might be comfortable with.

#

1:1 a few seconds is one thing, extended performance for 2-3 minutes entirely another

humble aurora
#

also they don't even give out the polas "randomly" they've just been handing them out

#

grey got shoved one while he was looking at his phone

blazing tinsel
#

I noticed that

faint flower
#

we didn't even get a chance at polas outside of the games so something weird happened with Chicago

frosty kindle
humble aurora
#

we all wondered where the other polas were going to

#

they just give it out

frosty kindle
#

like if they're just handing it to a random person, that is random LMFAO

humble aurora
faint flower
#

I didn't see anything being handed out

empty tinsel
#

i never saw anybody at dallas have one or them handing it out

faint flower
#

someone's going to have to confirm it was done in Chitown

humble aurora
#

true random is pulling it out of a draw

frosty kindle
#

a raffle isn't really random either you have to specifically pick a ticket?

humble aurora
#

grey and the friend next to him both got dallas'

humble aurora
faint flower
#

I think Nari means a ticket is independent of seeing a person first and deciding

frosty kindle
#

ahh

#

i assumed tehy were just being handed out like, to a random person

empty tinsel
faint flower
#

frankly to me there's little difference unless I as a staff member recognize someone and decide to hand it over

tight nova
#

The person who won the bean cube bag throwing competition was a beast at it

frosty kindle
#

yeah same

#

it still feels random to me that way bc it's not like staff knows anyone

faint flower
#

if I'm just kinda walking the line and I just hand it over without much consideration it is as random as it can get, however is it an equal chance, especially when not everyone is in line at the time? Maybe not

faint flower
#

it's what they do with that knowledge that matters

humble aurora
#

it's just not an equal chance if you're like going to the bathroom and they're just giving it out during break time that's just unlucky i guess

empty tinsel
#

yeah i agree

#

or maybe im just mad i didnt win one lol

frosty kindle
#

well what if you lose your raffle ticket?

humble aurora
faint flower
#

they told us they wouldn't hand out another

frosty kindle
#

vs being in the bathroom

humble aurora
#

being in the bathroom is being at the wrong place at the wrong time

empty tinsel
#

yeah like you still had teh chance if you lose the ticket

#

you just lost the ticket

#

but if you didnt get the ticket bc you just happened to not be there when they handed it out isnt necessarily the same

humble aurora
#

yeah i think they're not putting much effort into announcing the winners

#

honestly, my idea was that they should've just announced it on stage and have the members pick

faint flower
#

that's what happened in 2019

humble aurora
#

from the lottery like while they're drawing winners for the game

faint flower
#

so when it didn't happen at all I just figured they didn't have time to take 3 more for some reason

humble aurora
frosty kindle
#

maybe in case the games went over time or something

subtle halo
subtle halo
#

And friend from another group won the unit Pola (she was not with me during snap-pic)

humble aurora
#

Really wish they would just announce raffle numbers than handing them out

placid cradle
#

I AM SO DANG JEALOUS

#

||I know where I’m going if the Purge hits us||

empty tinsel
#

I miss Sunday 😦

#

I haven’t had post concert depression like this in awhile

blazing tinsel
#

I miss them so much 😭

empty tinsel
#

Me too 😭

covert shore
#

I regret not trying to meet some Dallas insomnia but I was too shy.

empty tinsel
#

Next time!!

meager owl
#

next time !!!

covert shore
#

I'm a Dallas native so I'm always here!

blazing tinsel
#

Same here, I live in Dallas so I’m around

#

Can’t wait to see y’all at future Kpop/DC shows!!

tight nova
#

Coping that they would perform Good Night but we wouldn't have to part ways via saying Good Night 😖

blazing tinsel
#

I hope they perform Dreamcatcher songs as 3 next time

#

PCD is so bad, I keep looking back at my photos, vids, and freebies 😭

empty tinsel
#

for reallll

#

i wish i had taken more 😭

#

i keep looiking for a recording of our show so i can relive it, but i cant find any

tight nova
#

Can we turn back time to relive it

outer hamlet
#

damn jeff really into it

tight nova
outer hamlet
tight nova
#

Hey, they were my best to date

#

Even better than my Headway selfies

outer hamlet
#

so

#

how about the show itself

blazing tinsel
#

So turns out the reason why all the 1:1 and 1:3 photos were moved after the show was bc a church was hosting an event the same day before the show DongCry

empty tinsel
#

wtf

empty tinsel
#

this church is #1 on my personal enemy tier list

tight nova
#

Why wouldnt they host such an event at a church
