Friday
12AM still no ohmygirl airport pictures, went to bed nervous. was supposed to sleep 4h30m until 5AM, yet I ended up only getting like 1h30m of sleep and the rest rolling around in bed and checking for new information.
5AM I get up and shower since I was too excited to sleep anymore, get on discord and start hyping people up about wjsn and girl's day showing up at the airport. Started creating a periscope account. Ate small breakfast.
Around 6:30AM I check if Sil's online/awake. Blasted dreamcatcher on the way to his house. LA/freeway traffic was not bad, made it to LAX pretty neatly. We saw some airplanes fly over us on the way there, getting worried that wjsn might be in one of them and arrive early.
9AM We're out of the car and walking towards a terminal (didn't know exactly which). Located yubseyo and his crew and met them for the first time. They talk about how there was two exits and that we were unsure which they were going to come out of. Last year IOI came out of the smaller exit, yet there was absolutely noone around that one.
We walk around to look for food (someone said shake shack was in the airport, but we found out it's behind the departure gate lmao), ultimately get drinks and some quick finger food. We return to our spot and still not that many people are there. KweenHyojung walked from his hotel and found us and met us for the first time.
10AM? I turn on my periscope out of boredom and start streaming everything around us. Around 30-50 people joined in to see what was going on thanks to people spreading the link on discord. It cut out a couple times because I was on data and battery running out/phone overheating. 1 hr periscope cost me like 10 bucks of data... ;;
11AM 1 hour later we're getting nervous and confused and eventually flock towards the smaller exit. Eventually everyone comes to our side and a large crowd starts forming at the outside door. Girls with stools. Boy groups start coming out and none of us can tell who it was LOL. WJSN come out and they were super dressed, just like at incheon airport! Everyone was filming with mostly their phone cameras, my periscope caught them but it was terrible and it cut out.. so yea. Loved seeing Exy and Luda was so small lmao. Girl's Day came out shortly after but they all masks/glasses on basically, so it was really hard to recognize them besides sojin noona.
11:30AM Back to our car, now 1 with KweenHyojung so he doesn't have to uber. Rushing through LA traffic with a timer on our hitouch was a little stressful (had an offer to buy), but we made it early enough on time. Found the planned free parking and needed to find our hitouch seller before she got into the line for Heize hitouch, so we walked real fast. Traded $50 for the hitouch right outside the bag check. Then we walked up some stairs to right in front of the benefits claim, where around 20-30 people were trading tickets. Immediately we find another OMG hitouch seller lmao, got it for $50 again which they were surprised at. Sadly KweenHyojung couldn't go sunday for the hitouch so he didn't need to get one.
12PM We check if we need benefits, and we meet Daniel w/ the Wuju shirt we met at the airport. I had to set up my wifi hotspot for his laptop (named jiho with pass iuiu123 LOL). We didn't get benefits so we just got our 1-day bracelet that lets us into the con (later to be upgraded).
12:30PM We planned to go home around this time, we weren't planning to go to wjsn hitouch or anything, but seeing as we both had our omg hitouches and extra money still, I decided to look for a wjsn hitouch. KweenHyojung gets a fb message for a $30 wjsn hitouch, cheapest offer seen in 2 days. We quickly decide to go inside and upgrade our con tickets later. I get the hitouch and we go around discovering the really loud convention. Sil still needs to find a hitouch (he has a free audience pass already).
2PM We try to find more info about the ohmygirl merch raffle, find a huge line because of wannaone fans. find out that only 50 people are winning the raffles, and people can whale and just buy chances until they received their ticket. super concerning. We stay in the line to see if we can enter the raffle early for tomorrow's omg fanmeet. Guard says they're all sold out and we panic. They say there might be more chances tomorrow but they're not confirmed. suuuuper bummed. we walk around depressingly. didn't even eat lul
4:30PM WJSN hitouch coming up, had to ditch Sil and Tuan to get into hitouch line. They went outside to look for more hitouches, but eventually found nothing. I get into the hitouch with KweenHyojung (he traded SF9 for it). Our spots weren't very good, like 3rd row. Super tired at this point, with no food and 1h of sleep lmao. Sitting in the line was nice, but they made us start standing like 30 minutes early. That was a hella long 30 minutes, especially with no wjsn music (they played a bunch of boy group mvs, terrible dj compared to last year). Legs dying stomach saddening. Finally wjsn start to come out, they played half of Happy and the crowd got real hype with lots of singing and chants. They come out and I just enjoy watching instead of wasting energy to record (everyone else is already). I often had to switch between watching the screen and watching them since people's heads can get in the way. Honestly can't remember much more interesting to say here, also most of the hitouch is on camera for you to watch. link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMTHbLz1r7Q s/o to yubseyo
5:30PM or something, we can finally sit down. The airbnb group is all together now (like 10 people), talking about how the hitouch went down. We had to decide if me and Sil were going home or going out to eat with them. We decide to go with them, but first go to get free Pristin posters if Sil labels them oldest to youngest in order. We got it from a girl in TeamIdealSubs so that was cool (too bad my poster got bodied later in the car). When we get back to the group KweenHyojung ditched us gg
6PM can't even remember the place we ate gg but it was not-ayce kbbq and it was really quality meat, with waiters that cooked for you. the parking for that place was the most nightmare parking lot you can think of, with 90 degree turns and extremely steep ramps LOL. our table was pretty quiet with Lewis/Sister from T3UF, but it was still enjoyable and really good. also got boba later for the drive home (around 10PM). finally got confirmations on omg's flight time (around 11AM) because of the airport pictures so we try to get home asap.
12AM needed a lot of sleep for tomorrow but only got like 4h30m or so, rip.
Saturday
9AM Woke up late and sped to Sil's house to get there at like 9:30. Also we have Sil's friend join since she wanted to see airport interactions.
11AM OhMyGirl Airport - got there 10 minutes early, just in time (much lighter traffic on saturday). People from the airbnb are there again, in front of the same entrance. There was definitely a lot less people this time, since it was only Astro/Bona/OMG in the morning. We watched the korean guards in black constantly try to usher cars out of the parking zone so they could get their vans in lol. They had to get 3 different vans/drivers in, which was what made the whole ordeal take so long! Unluckily OMG came last, but fortunately we still had most of the crowd. It was nice having enough miracles to have a warm welcome for ohmygirl. There were girls with OhMyGirl shirts, people with banners (reach with his ghetto Camera/Banner setup LOL). Lots of people had gifts (we think more than the other girl groups), so I hope they enjoyed their gifts! The guys standing next to me had bears roses, although I don't think Jiho was able to pick it all up, probably got thrown away :[ I didn't have the clearest view of them since I went for a risky fancam angle near the van, but looking back at the vods, they were pretty happy and surprised to see so many of us there. Next time I need to stand in front of the van so the guards can't block my view and I can get more guaranteed waves to the camera. The whole situation was really intimidating tbh.
1PM We rush to the convention to get Sil's friend her con tix. We rush to the merch booths only to find out that both were sold out already, and we were super bummed. Later we found out that some people were able to buy merch and get into the raffle, then make it to the airport in time to see omg, so that made us salty.
2PM-4PM We went to the street food vendors but eventually ended up getting hotdogs since we ran out of time (sil didn't eat anything!). We go back to participate in another raffle that only had like 1 winner. We were able to get in line twice lol, but eventually one of our friends wins the raffle. I was hoping someone would win and resell it to us. Now we're just waiting in front of Star Square talking to the staff to get more information about how the event will go and where it's best to sit/wait. Sil gets to buy a ticket from Alox for $60, and I end up ultimately empty handed :[
4:30PM OhMyGirl Fansign -- Had front row spots right where the staff told us they would be signing the plastic screen. We were really close to them! Arin waved at us and our friend Zach got a good camera of that. Other than that... the media staff and the people in the fanmeet line really blocked everyone's views, so only people that could really see are the people taking cams inside the line. So there's not much to talk about unless you were a part of the event, alternatively you can watch one of their cams! OMG Hitouch is tomorrow! Oh we did catch them on the exit, and got a few handheld cams of that, but it was really short so I don't think many people uploaded that.
7:30PM Day 1 Concert -- Sat away from Sil so didn't really get to talk to him. Our seats were super far but it was still enjoyable, especially WJSN's BTS cover. Not much to talk about here. Oh yeah the pre-show beatbox performance was lit.
10PM We meet up with the airbnb boys outside the venue and we're all talking about different moments. We have our sleeping materials this time so we leave early to find parking for our car near the airbnb while the other group walks/gets dinner. We found a building with $33 parking overnight lmao so ridiculous. We eventually settle for $10 outside parking.
11PM We're just sitting inside the airbnb watching everyone's fancams on a large monitor, which was pretty fun to relive the moments. The cams for the fansign were so clear! Made me feel a bit better about not getting in. So much fanservice! Then we talk about random stuff while waiting for our other group to come back with 100 wings for 10 people. probably the comfiest kcon dinner I've had yet, with some really funny conversation and beer. Alternatively we could have gone to bcd or innout to hunt for girl groups, since apparently some of them did show up at those that night...! Then finish watching yubseyo's concert cams while slowly easing ourselves into sleep. Me and Sil ended up not even using our sleeping bags lmao. Gotta get up early for OMG hitouch.
Sunday
9AM With only 3 hours of sleep, I shower quickly (why was there so much a/c, holy moly it was cold) and we leave a little late, and then proceed to forget my keys on the floor of the airbnb. luckily firestar was about to start walking to the con anyways, so he could easily hand us the keys. We park at the same parking and arrive to the con like 5 minutes before doors open. What we should have expected was that people were already lined up outside the con. We were surprised to see a HUGE got7 audience waiting line and already lines forming for OMG hitouch/audience. With better planning, we could have been the front of the OMG hitouch line, but it ended up not mattering that much (still 2nd row and we were on the louder side!)
10AM OhMyGirl Hitouch -- This is where I took a picture of the hitouch line for the discord. People were playing ohmygirl's title songs in the hitouch line which is always nice. We start standing up to get into the hitouch room, and none of the miracles rushed/ran frantically like people usually do so that was nice to see! It was nice and orderly! We got 2nd row on the left side which happened to be the livelier side with more hype and noise. We talked a bit to the people around us, and again they didn't play relevant music to the artist that was coming, which was upsetting. Finally ohmygirl come out, and everyone's screaming. They wave to everyone and pay extra attention to our side which was doing all sorts of sounds and motions. There was a lot of name yelling and it was hard for the mc to get us to settle down. The rest should be in the fancams!
When it came time for hitouch, I went early since Binnie was getting rushed by the MC so I was really afraid of getting cut off by the event running out of time. I went over the rehearsed things in my head: deep blue eyes for yooa, aing for hyojung, mira keuri keuri for jiho, but it was so hard to focus with all the screaming and omg fanservice. By the time it was my turn I was super nervous, and I had to greet Mimi first. For the most part I said "I love you" to each of them, but also the little things I prepared for them. Sadly I choked at Jiho's beauty when I got to her and completely forgot to do my greeting. it's devastating since she was waiting for it right after I did something for Hyojung :[ After I get back into the crowd, I looked for Sil to cry about it but couldn't find him, so I just stood back in the front (even better view this time!). When they were saying their final words, I was able to catch Jiho's attention and do the mira keuri keuri (her reaction here: https://youtu.be/RxZZchw7B-I?t=21), so I didn't fail after all!
12PM Everyone's dead. we're all sitting outside talking about how it went. There's not much else to do at this time so there was a lot of sitting around and reminiscing the events. We got free sample stuff and food (4$ takoyaki omo) but that's about it.
5PM We need tickets for Day 2 still lmao. We look outside for scalpers but there are barely any. We've been eyeing a P3 ticket for 109 each for a couple hours now on stubhub, and finally decide to purchase it and have it ready on our phones. We spot Alox walking around and call him over. There was also another girl with the same exclusive OhMyGirl cupid shirt as Alox, was tempting to go try and talk to her. Eventually us 3 get into the staples center nice and early, so we find some seats in the bar and talk about what we think will happen. Around this time everyone on discord was tuned into the live stream, so we were actually checking our phones and talking to everyone theorizing when and what omg were gonna perform lol.
7PM The preshow was starting to begin, so we got to our seats. Alox took some seats in front of us since noone was there yet, but he later had to relocate to his actual seats. I remember the concert announcing upcoming artists and Tae Woo and OhMyGirl weren't a part of that list... was a bit concerning lol.
While the concert was going we were talking about what we would do when OMG came up, we also looked up some fanchants to refresh our memory (we looked up windy day though.. such a hard one). When they came out, we stood up and screamed, shaking our very accurate duplicates of the light-green lightsticks they sold at their first concert. They ended up performing Coloring Book, much to everyone's expectation, however they were facing away from our seats, which is also what we expected. We cheered them on and tried to wave whenever they turned around during the choreo. I was singing my heart out!
When they ended, they started doing their introduction. They waved to everyone in a 360, and Binnie especially took notice of us. Either she remembered us or noticed our lightsticks and us standing! At the end of their introduction, JIHO STARTED TO HINT AT CLOSER!! Everyone was freaking out, okay not everyone but there were some screams and we were definitely shocked. Discord was also freaking out unsurprisingly. Closer was made by a producer in LA, so it was really fitting that they get to perform it to the LA crowd. A lot of the girls love Closer, so they must be satisfied to have this as their second song. Most of us were expecting Aing/Windy Day, or even Liar Liar. And just like planned, they turned around to face us performing Closer. We couldn't believe it, I was squealing. Even with them closest to us on the stage, it still felt kind of far, but still so surreal. I didn't do any fanchants but I sung my heart out and tried to wave frantically during moments they were facing/looking up towards us. There weren't that many moments, and they seemed really focused with not as much fanservice as Coloring Book, which I admired a lot. It would've been so great to be standing up closer for this performance TT
10PM After the endless boy groups we decide to go to BCD's for the chance that a group will show up there again. Sadly no one went, I think the only venturing OMG did was Yooa venturing around the shopping center near their hotel. We still enjoyed a great meal there, people drank a lot of soju and we took a nice group picture.
12AM Driving home, after dropping off Sil I blasted Windy Day ontheway home and cried and sang extremely loud to get the post concert depression/withdrawals out. I wanted to feel like I was still at the concert. Think I did this for Apink's solo concert too. It's like not wanting to leave that loud atmosphere. I felt so dead when I got home lol.
