Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay people, I know you're not dead. And I'm sure that everyone and their grandma already knows about this whole Family Values Tour thing.

So... who's going? And to which concert?
There's a whole buttload of shows that they're doing this summer which makes me think that they're going to die from exhaustion, but I'm sure that they can handle it.

Alrighty then, I'll be going to the show at the Hyundai Pavilion in San Bernadino on August 19. It's supposed to be the largest amphitheater in North America with 65,000 seats. There are only 10,902 reserved seats, while the remaining 54,098 seats are on the lawn. eek

Come on people, post! I am not letting this guild die like all the other ones that I've been in.

Ah man, that totally blows that you can't go. So close yet so far away. emo

I'm going to be so~o annoyed if there's moshing or crowd surfing anywhere near me. I'll be sure to quick those people right in the face just for you. Finally, learning high kicks in dance class will pay off. xp

What date is the Toronto one? I would like to make it....(Ohhh, Auntie...Can I come visit you?? *alterior motive*) Unfortunetly, it might be too late and I might be in Japan already. (Figures, I'm in Japan and they're not rolleyes )

Anyone who wants to go with the two of us just PM me ((or email me at sheba_froth@hotmail.com)) and we will see what we can conjure up. Thank you!

I don't know about the Sacramento show, but the San Bernadino show still has seats in the orchestra (pit).

Which actually makes me kind of mad. Because when my dad bought our tickets, all the orchestra seats were taken and we had to buy from the Loge section. evil Those were supposedly the "best available" seats. Grr...

I wish. My dad's pretty set on where we are sitting. And since he's the one who's driving me there and back, I should probably just go along with what he wants to do.

Besides, even though we're in the Loge section (which shouldn't be too far from the stage), we're only in the second row back or something like that.

Well, well, well. Today Dir en grey has their first concert for the Family Values Tour over in San Antonio, Texas.

And in other random news, Kaoru told the Japanese fans that "Ryoujoku no Ame" was not the song that they played during their concerts in America and Europe. Which means that a new single will probably be coming out soon.

I'm getting both nervous and excited as I'm reading the BBS on Dir en grey's OHP. I saw this coming from about 10 miles away, but apparently lots of people at the concerts (who are non-Diru fans) are booing/not caring for them. So that's the main reason why I didn't want to attend the FVT because I knew this sort of thing would happen.

But this is drowned out by my pure excitement. Someone said that they were selling albums that were signed. Which I will force my dad to buy for me just so I can have a signed copy. Who cares that I already have two copies (US & Japan) of Withering to death.?

And...*drumroll* meet-and-greet! exclaim *squee* My Japanese is the ultimate in suckage, but I'm going to practice it so I can say something to the members that do it. (Some people met Die and Shinya, others met Kaoru and Shinya.) I don't know when they do this (how soon after their set), but I'm sure I'll figure it out before I go.

edit: 15 minutes later



Not sure which one to believe. Other people are saying that they bought "Ryojouku no Ame" and were still given a wristband. Oh well, just make sure that you don't miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime.

And as a bonus, some "illegal" *cough**cough* pictures (taken by other people) for you. linkage
