Just arrived back from the airport with a few friends (along with others we met). I tried to take as many pictures of them entering and exiting (very bad quality) and some took some video footage. Overall, it was a grand moment. Hopefully they will be uploaded somewhere (will upload mine later tonight, operating on 29 hours of no sleep is not fun...kinda)

Paatii paatii!

almond, Hart and I will be meeting Amp at Union Station at 11am and perhaps have lunch there before heading over to U St where we will apparently have an #occupyquiznos thang. Lol. Feel free to join us at Union Station for lunch or the Quiznos near the theatre afterwards. Tweet me @3ND14P3 if you want to find us or pm me here. Twitter is best, however.

I'm excited for the american fan..I know what is to be in a such event.
Takimana seems to be in good condition even if the jetlag is little bit hard between Tokyo and Washington DC.
She got alot of letters and present

Considering this lineup, I predict the following units:
- Kokoro no Hashi no Sofa (Umechan, Reina, ?)
- Kiseki wa Ma ni Awanai (Sae, Abe Maria? Shihori? Sakiko?)
- Gyakuten Oujisama (Miichan, ?, ?)
- Bird (Takamina, Akicha, ?)
Can't think of a 5th unit with 5 people and Mocchi center..

Quote from: almond

From what I can remember: Flying Get, Kachuusha, MC, Bird, kiseki wa ma no awanai, gyakuten oujisama, heart Gata virus, ??, MC....
...KazeFu, beginner, Sakura no ki no narou, Encore: heavy rotation, Sakura no hanabiratachi #AKBDC
Oh and ponytail after beginner

3/5, pretty good I must say

That was great, even if it was short. I think it was worth it since it was my first. i enjoyed myself along with that long line lmao

That concert was AMAZING!

Hearing Takamina's voice for the opening, in person...I thought I was dreaming.

I had a front row center seat, and made eye contact with a good number of the girls. Umeda Ayaka made me feel great. She's climbed up in my books

The girls were so gorgeous in person. I made sure I looked at each one of them individually for the same amount of time just in order to bask all of it in. I gotta brush up on my knowledge of some of the Team 4 and KKS members. They made great impressions on me. Such great energy.

Meeting the other hipsters was great. I didn't get to chill afterwards, but we got a group picture in front of the stage.

The experience was great. I need to go see them perform in Japan.

"I can't ask for anymore"

That is what I say about my whole experience. The amount of times I have seen them on the virtual screen always gives me dreams of watching them live. As time goes by, even though I have the grateful opportunity to see them twice, as a normal human, it's not a surprise to always strive for more. The sheer fact that I saw them, not once but twice, is a feat in its own.

One of the things that stuck out the most was the diversity of fans. I saw many kids with their parents attending the concert and in the 1st showing, the elementary school kids (I believe) were in attendance in the balcony. At the encore call, they were screaming "WE WANT MORE"; it was a very grand and touching moment.

I was able to see an old friend (who I haven't seen since Los Angeles) and another (who I haven't seen since New York); we were together for the 2nd concert, so it was legit. It was also great meeting new friends.

One of the other highlights for me was a touching moment with a mother and her little daughter in front of us in the 2nd concert. Because the music so loud, the little daughter had to wear headphones to muffle the music; however, she was still on point with her glowsticks waving and was having a great time. She stood on the chair and leaned against her mom, so she could see. It was a very great moment.

Overall, seeing two shows (which were packed both shows), able to see old and new friends, seeing a diversity of people coming together for AKB48, I truly can not ask for more.
