Wow.

So, yeah.
The concert last night was... it's hard to get sufficient words to describe it.
Amazing?
It wasn't, say, a perfect quality performance, but that's just not the kind of band that they are. Maybe it was a bit too loud, and the sounds weren't perfectly equalized. However, it was extremely energetic, fun, and memorable. I had what I considered to be pretty much the best possible spot to be in for the concert. (Okay, maybe the second best spot.) I almost caught a water bottle that was thrown off stage, but at least I got some of the water on me. XD Oh, and there were three songs that I specifically hoped that they would play, and I wasn't really sure they'd play any of them... But to my joy, they played two out of the three. ("Color Don't Change" and "Used To Be a Bad Thing")
I was kind of almost regretting that I didn't buy a VIP pass to get in the special "VIP section" right in front of the stage, but I was the third person in line for regular admission, so that's why my spot was so amazing. I decided that it was better to be in the very front of the regular section than in the awkward back of the VIP section, which was only around three rows deep anyway.

Today, there was a Q and A with the band. It was pretty good; I guess there were a lot of decent questions that were asked. It was almost bizarre to see the band so calm as they answered the questions, though. It was a total contrast to their energetic, charismatic, and spastic actions on stage during the concert.
After the Q and A, Ken Lloyd (vocalist/only current official band member) informed everyone that the band would be heading over to the Jpop House booth. (This is all happening at an anime convention; so there are booths and such all over the place...) So of course, everyone headed over there after the show.
I was in the middle of taking a picture of a cosplayer near the booth, when my mom told me to turn around. So I did, and when I saw the band walking by, I squeaked (like a total idiot), "Oh my god, Ken Lloyd!" I don't know if he heard, but he didn't turn his head or anything...
The band went to stand behind the table at the booth, and they talked to the eager fans who surrounded the table. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to take pictures, so I went to put my camera away. My mom asked Ken if it would be alright (I freaked out a bit that she was just talking to him), and he surprised me by saying yes. He actually offered for me to come into the booth so that my mom could take a picture of both of us. I declined, because: 1. I'm going to get to do that later tonight and possibly tomorrow anyway, and 2.Because I'm a nervous little chicken, and I didn't want my head to explode on the band. I took a couple pictures of him though... My hands were shaking, and I didn't want to bother him, so they didn't come out too good. I was still too nervous to talk to him, but my mom just went right over and told him how she enjoyed the concert. They shook hands, making me freak out more. XD

So, yeah. Only three and a half more hours until I get my turn.

Sorry about the random fangirling. If I survive this, I'll be sure to gush about that, too.

Oh, one more side note. Ken Lloyd makes the best funny/spastic/awesome facial expressions.
