I just got back at work. Spent the whole morning bonding with pj0t and shrlykim and waiting for FT Island!!!
Guess what? We weren't able to go see them live at Showtime.
Can you believe it?There was a line sooo long, some people were waiting outside the outside gates. We were actually just a gate away from the studio where they were going to perform. A lot of other fans were waiting there with us (apparently these are those who have reserved for slots, but still weren't able to get thru).There was a guy who was wearing an "angel wings" headband and they were holding banners. We were with a friend who was an employee in the network but she also could not get us in. Actually, she herself was not able to get a glimpse of them - security was so tight - they have 15 marshalls from the Philippines alone, plus their entourage!
They appeared on TV for only like... 3-5 minutes? They sang As Ever (spazzzz!). Hong Ki was wearing a black and white checkered suit with a black fabric flower adornment on the lapel (so like Go Mi Nam's!). And he gained weight! And then they introduced each member. And then Hong Ki shouted "Jolie!!" in the end (this part, I didn't hear... ishtargoddess gave me this tip because she watched it on TV).
Anyway, more stories (hopefully) later. Shrlykim and pj0t are now in the hotel, trying to get in to the fan meeting. I'd be joining them later, hoping to get a glimpse of Hong Ki (sorry, I don't know the other members, but they are cute!) and be able to take pictures as well. At the very least, this gives us very important lessons and tips on fangirling. LOL.
