Actually, we don't know if they didn't show...just gave up after waiting 1.5-2hrs after their arrival. The JPM guys stayed behind.

The O Hotel is a nice, swanky lil place. Elevator is pimp with the red lights inside. The room ("Boutique Room" apparently) is real small, but I like it. Can sleep 2 confortably if you're in the same bed...otherwise I can count 3 spots on the floor one can sleep on. Pics maybe later... A heads up to the O Hotel peeps:





Best room number evar


Best view evar



Hey Rickker, one of the people in the shuttle might have been me :P

We stayed behind for about half an hour after you guys left, and they definitely didn't show :doh: Was cool seeing you guys briefly though, so hopefully see you around in line tomorrow!

We're staying at the Wilshire Grand too, I think I saw you outside before you crossed the road. Our room isn't too bad, it's quite big.

IMPORTANT INFO

there will be NO assigned seating for the concert, so lining up asscrack early on day 0 to get tickets is POINTLESS. youll just need to line up early for the actual concert. If you still wanna get there early to get badges and tickets though, line will be allowed to form at 9AM at the top of the stairs at West Hall B. All this info comes straight from Brian who is in charge of Registration for AX.

Feel free to still chill at LACC or w/e official jph!p party (me, daigong, dinny, etc) will be by towards the afternoon to get badges, tickets, party, hand out shit, make-out, dance the night away so don't fear! if you dont wanna shit around LACC all day waiting for our fine asses, hit us up morning of day 1, we be there for opening ceremonies, mad rush to the merch tables at noon, and mm panel in the afternoon+mm signing.



Also, welcoming dinner at In-N-Out wednesday night, time tbd.

My sister and I arrived in LA an hour ago.
Taking the shuttle was a nightmare.

@tenkei: So you dont have to line up really early to pick up your badges?  :huhuh  I thought after you pick up your badge early in Day 0, then you can head to line up for the main ticket booth to pick up your concert tickets early. With the whole "First come = best seats" deal they have been mentioning. Kinda confused about it now.

Basically what you are saying is even if you line up super early Day 0, there is no point to it?
That the only thing that matters is lining up early on July 3rd concert day?  :?

line will be allowed to form @ 9am, but they still open at 3pm right?

or is it that at 9am, we could already get our badges and tickets.
