YAEH GUYSE I'M SO EXCITED FOR Y'ALL AND YEAHHH XDDD SO AWESOMEE CAN'T WAIT FOR PIXX!!!

[Fenrir]

Just want to say it was great hanging out with you guys at Shinsengumi!

Thanks for making the drive out; Flyp, you will not be navigator next time

Limit and Boy, you finally got your ramen fix!!! lol

Daigong... no more drinking out of the bottle... I'm afraid I cannot return there for awhile.

[Flyp]

Still recovering from the weekend, I'll be sure to post more stories and stuff tonight.  I had such a great time with everyone!  Fen, thank you for your sacrifice then, because that ramen place was FREAKING AWESOME.   But yeah, don't let me navigate in LA ever again.

[limitbreaker02]

As close as you can legitimately get.

[shirenuファクトリー]

GAWH they're so awesome, I'm so turned on right now

[Rei-chan]

Awesome indeed~ 

The first days I was somewhat disappointed because we had seen Ga-in and Miryo in the hotel and they were super serious and didn't even look at fans, just completely ignored us. But holy carp! When we saw Ga-in and Jea at the Rite-Aid, all of that disappointment vanished   Ga-in was particularly nice and awesome, all smiley, giving us their autographs and taking THREE pics with Dai! She laughed when Dai did the Abracadabra dance for her~ Awww!! What an awesome lucky moment that was! 

Afterwards when Jea was waiting for Ga-in by the cashier, the guys got her autograph too. Odango and I were in line after Ga-in to pay for our goodies we bought for MBLAQ presents. Funny thing was when the guys left with Jea's autograph, she was talking to her stylist and smiling looking at Daigong and Flyp and even pointed at them. My impression was she thought they were adorable unusual fans or something. At the hotel, the vast majority of fans were just young screaming girls that acted like savage hyenas, but here come the guys all charming and respectful yet funny~ I think Jea was charmed 

[Rei-chan]

OMG!!! Found fancams of me giving Lee Joon my present for Seungho!!!  I hadn't been able to get to Seungho after Odango and I made our present bags for him and Mir, so when we saw Joon arrive after KMF, we saw our chance. I went to Joon before all the fans (you can see in the video I was closest to him, handing him a red present bag). Manager was protecting him, so I told Joon "Seungho sunmul!" and he was said "ah sunmul, sunmul!" and took my bag and smiled so beautiful!!! He's so nice and handsome in real life. 




It all happened really fast, the fans swarmed the area. These elevators werent working that late at night, so he had to go down to the other elevators in the lobby, accross the sea of fans >_<  But! Here's a video someone took of him downstairs in the other elevator and you can clearly see my present bag (labeled "SEUNG HO" ) hanging from his wrist!!!!!

Awesome, JPH!P won Jea over. From the sound of it, she might have been willing to have dinner or something 

[limitbreaker02]

Oh, among the new people I met in the pool circle, the one who said he used to go here is none other than Swtme03's (younger?) brother.

[shirenuファクトリー]

Hahaah you have no idea how happy it makes me to read about the encounter with Gain and Jea. I swear I could read the same story a hundred times and still not stop smiling. I want all the dirty deets!!!

If you don't mind, once everyone has their reports done, I'll post about it at the BEG forum I go to, I'm sure they'd love to hear about BEG meeting more foreign fans

[limitbreaker02]

The rest of my videos:

[Fenrir]

Not as good as Limit's. lol

[daigong]

^ OH wow REI I didn't notice that part at all, just somethin they liked us lol, yeah we fanboyed good. THANKS FOR THE RECAP of  their reaction, Jea is so nice, like she signed ur booklet - i wanted her to sign my arm and like man so happy u got your work of art into Joon's wrist, the swarm of girls I have never seen it so bad before

YEAH SHIRENU!! shit. we tried to look for tips and stuff at BEG / MBLAQ forums but nothing! we were the scoop lol

FEN How I never fail to embarrass you haha

YEA SON TOZ. Gain wants your kicks next.

EPIC FANCAMS Limit and Fen, lol so I could relax and break 10 more Korean Air glowsticks.

here's the stalking part I wrote the past few....and all the fancams I got. SO good to meet new fans (or old, cuz they knew me lol)

THUS BEGAN First nite Stalking, after we went up the escalator to instantly meet new friends! They recogonized us from last KMF and we quickly exchanged infos - LOVEQUAKES.COM an Asian American celeb style blog, affiliates. YESSIR. They were there for MBLAQ and others, told us that Gain and Jea had just left and were in a rush, no mood to speak to anyone aww. No sooner do we speak, then dude from MBLAQ walks by and the girls are all polite. Rei with her first experience doesn't get in there fast enough and he leaves and the girls train her, WE'LL SHOVE YOU FIRST TO SIGN etc. Ahhh<33 the bonding.




LONG WAITS. Did the routine elevator up and down and some hot ass escorts got off at the alleged stars floors lol. Started getting real late than like one by one, dudes came up.

MBLAQ starts it off!! Dude just came outta nowhere catchng everyone offguard. Fancams in the MBLAQ thread: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=25470.msg1035535#msg1035535

Guys from G.O.D. and Bobby Kim and the BUGA KINGZ were stopping by, fuckin so accessible giving hugs and shit.

Bobby Kim stopping by!


THE REACT!


BOOM we have a BEG sighting finally as Miriyo, the rapper was like covering her face and trying to hide we let her have her peace as respectful fans - just had to document it for y'all. Elevators close at that time and hotel guy had to come and unlock for her escape.


MORE BEG react: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=19966.msg1035545#msg1035545


OH MAN and the MBLAQ fangirls were so good, nailed it down to what room based on "Hey, I'm watching my TV" tweet oh

THE CONCERT!! Like fuck, the line up allegedly wasn't STAR POWERED as expected but the artists surely put on a show. Love&Peace were 80s rockers James Brown styled through sets ROLLING ON THE RIVER, their guitarist rocked the fuck out - saw him afterwards and gave him props. Kim Kyung Ho TORE it up with some rockin hair metal LOL B.E.G. dropped their set - 4 songs and FUCK! charged the place up, 6th Sense some other songs lol and of course Abracadabra, Gain in her tight crotch pants DELICIOUS me and Flyp sang it word for word!! Buga Kingz and MBLAQ was dope, gotta give it up to boybands and their dance moves GIVE IT TO MY Y and G.O.D. RAISED THE ROOF like literally with the rap cliches but each dude went through their sets Kim Tae Woo sure belted it and Danny got some dope rhymes - the ending was aight, I think I cheered more for the fireworks and the old dudes were giving me props, GOTTA BRING DAT A GAME ENERGY. It was fuckin hilarious when they showed limit on the big screen bored.

GET DAT KMF Running Man GEAR READY for 2K13, oh man, gotta start training to work off all that food

 

[Flyp]

The concert was pretty damn awesome.  But I gotta say that The Korea Times did a pretty bad job organizing it...  We had the garden box seat in the back of the section, dead center.   The Korea Times decided to set up a big camera right behind that box, and told us we weren't allowed to stand up.  At all.  I got yelled at for trying to get into my seat because "I was in the damned shot!"  I didn't spend $800+ to sit down during the concert.  Thankfully Odango took charge and complained to the Hollywood Bowl staff and they moved us over to another box that was unsold (so much for the "sold out" show) so we were able to fully enjoy the show.  If they wanted to set up a camera there and have a clear line of sight, they shouldn't have sold those seats.  Pretty dick move I must say.  The poor communication, semi-botched lineup, and that camera incident means it will take a really great lineup for me to want to go to KMF again, to be honest.  Don't get me wrong, I had one of the greatest times ever with all my jphip friends, but if there's gonna be a jphip meetup for a kpop concert, I'd rather do something like SMTown or YG Family or something else like that.

Post-concert drunken webcast shenanigans was so much fun though.  Taking over that club room til businessmen in suits came in for their breakfast was awesome.  It was great to properly meet and hang out with Limit and Dinny too.   Limit, sorry I was unable to recognize that picture of Boram on your phone.  In my defense I had slept 7 hours in the last 6 days, was still a bit drunk, and she didn't look particularly "Boram-ish" in that picture.  I'll strive to be a better T-ara fan lol

[daigong]

Odango was BAWS and Rei giving Sheraton staff a piece of their mind, got a discount WOO HOO. or 2000 points. Like shit, we were taking pictures of ourselves and dude was rude "No pictures" what? All the stars took off who cares. You don't want us to take a pic of your wack convenience store lol

lol at KMF I was like whats happenin I'm enjoying my Sapporo xD

OH man and i been watching the ustream, I sure was ASSHOLERY - I don't recall most of it shit. Two beers and bacardi. my bad to all who were offended, I don't think we'll be seein Kyle form the midwest and Amanda or Eric anytime soon

Tis true Flyp, I mean despite all the culture that you do learn - last year even had some dope ass trot or dude who played piano with his ass, legendary acts but for prices like that you gotta think about it - esp. for those flying from afar. Here's keepin it positive! KMF Tradition RUNS DEEP. been already chatting with the LOVEQUAKES girls on doing Running Man for real so lets plan it UP!

Oh, among the new people I met in the pool circle, the one who said he used to go here is none other than Swtme03's (younger?) brother.

OH HIM. Just google SNSD vs Wu-Tang and you can see a video of us showing him the pamphlet for our thread

[Rei-chan]

Here are my JPH!Psters pics
