So I set my alarm to go off @ 5am so I could get up and be out of the house by 6~! Union Square is not that far from my house! If anything it's only a 20min train ride~! But when I woke up I got up at 6! I ended up rolling over onto my phone in my sleep again and didn't hear it..... So I jumped out of bed and threw on anything I could find!! ;A; It was my first time wearing shorts too that day so I was kinda nervous... I have really fat legs and I'm not too fond of them. So after I got out of bed and finished getting ready I packed my food and a book to read~! I brought my Edgar Allan Poe book~! It has a lot of his poems and stories! But enough about that!! I also brought some Holiday gift bags to have something to sit on when I got to Irving Plaza~! And my Miyavi ticket of course~ ;D
So I finally left my house @ around 7am and walked to the train station. It was really hot outside!! For some reason all the trains were DELAYED that day. It's almost like the MTA knew I had to be somewhere at a certain tme and were just like "LOL LET'S GIVE EVERYONE A HARD TIME BY DELAYING ALL THE TRAINS THEY NEED! 8D". So I waited like 10 minutes for the 7 train to arrive! When I finally got to Queens Borough Plaza it took like another 20 minutes for the train. In that amount of time a MILLION 7 trains passed by!!! Really Mta? REALLY?! They just start magically start running when I don't need them again? So the N train pulls in and since the wait was so long there are like a jillion people so I was forced to stand. It wasn't too bad though.
So I FINALLY arrive at Iriving Plaza at 9am to see a pleasent little line~! It wasn't too long. It went just down to the corner of the block! There had been some girl in the front I heard who slept outside for 3 days!!! That's insane! I mean 3 days with no shower! No teeth brushing! No changing underwear!! Omg I could never do that, but I give mad props to anyone who slept out there!! So I found a nice spot near the end of the block and set down my stuff! I was number 80 something in line. It was pretty boring. I was right next to a group of girls that were dressed really cute~! One of them had on some heels I wanted to get @ Charolette Russe!!! <(*◇*;)> The other girls next to me had a board game! They were well prepared! As for me I just sat there alone (most of my friends had slept over night and were @ the front of the line) and I put on some music from my phone and just laid back and waited. I did this for around 2 hours before Syrii finally came over and was like "Omg Eri why are you alone?!". So then I decided to leave my spot in line (with my jacket and mats holding my place of course) and went off to play with everyone else~!! Everyone in line was playing games and singing!! It was really cool~! So as time went by I spent the majority of it just hanging out with Ami and Syrii and this really cool girl I met! She likes going to Hong Kong to be a designer or something~!! Make me a cute dress mystery girl~!! :3 I walked around a lot during the day and it was super hot! So Syrii, her friend, and me went to
So After that I pretty much hung around the line for more hours. On my way back however I saw this really cool chalk drawing on the sidewalk~!!
So nice~! I bet Miyavi was happy to see it~!
Miyavi was caught in traffic around 4-5 because of the Gay Pride Parade on 5th ave! Everyone on the line was on his Twitter page via phone and was keeping up to date with everything he posted! And apparently Miyavi came to the venue in his underwear!
It's nice to know he's so open and laid back about these types of things~! Waiting on line wasn't so bad. I played some card games with Syrii and there was also a chalk drawing of a game called "The Miyavi Hop"! It was like hop scotch but waaay cooler and much harder! You would jump from umber to number in order (which btw were INSANELY far from each other) and do what each panel wou
There wasn't any video taping or cameras allowed so there aren't any photos of the concert taken by me! I'm too honest and scared to do such things!! But it was AMAZING!! Like it was super crowded and I had to push my way to the front so that I could find my friend just as the concert was about to start!! Most people moved when I said excuse me, but there was this one group of super tall girls who were like right behind my friend. I said excuse me like 10x but they like ignored me. So finally I was like dude my friend is right there and this girl had the nerve to say "Well then bring her back there with you" and she locked arms with her tall friends. I was like "Oh no you didn't" and totally ducked under her stupid little chain and got in front of her. She was so pissed! I just laughed at her. She was really mean and nasty I don't know what her problem is. The girls were like as tall as the empire state building! It's not like they were going to miss anything by having a few people in front of them!! But enough of those raggamuffins! I finally got to my friend Jessenia and we talked for a bit. We couldn't really hear each other because the preshow music was blasting and we were all the way in the front. When the concert finally did start and Miyavi walked on stage I almost had a heart attack! IT'S FREAKIN MIYAVI!!!! Everything about him is just perfect! The way he walked on the stage and looked out into the audience. He really is something!! He started the concert of with his song "Survive" I believe! His energy level was through the sky! I mean it was his first song and straight from the bat it was incredible!!! The crowd thought so too because everyone began pushing and jumping and my poor friend Jessenia was lost in a sea of sweaty people!! ;A; I tried looking for her but she's pretty short...... Miyavi jumped a lot during the song too. I've like never seen anyone jump as high as he does with a guitar!! It's insanee!!! I like went crazy and screamed my brains out of course. I still can't believe I really saw him~!! After his first 2 songs Miyavi was dripping with sweat. Like his sweat was coming off his face and wetting the stage. I was very impressed with this. He puts so much energy into each song! He really makes me want to work harder when I perform! If Miyavi can perform like that then so can I! I really wish I could be more like him!
Miyavi asking everyone what his name is! Miyavi controls the audience with such amazing energy! He could blink his eye and we would all cheer for him~!
Video taken by a concert goer found on Youtube. (I assume it's upside down because they were trying to hide the fact that they were filming.)
As the concert went it began to get really hot! Everyone around me was pouring with sweat and I myself was drenched in it. It was absolutely disgusting! My hair was wet and all my clothing too! It didn't help that everyone around me was the same!! My fingers and some other peoples were all wrinkly like when you stay in the shower for too long! It was so strange!!
There was this one girl in particular in the audience who bothered me more than anyone else. It also happened to be the same girl in the previous post I made wearing the flag shorts on line to see Miyavi's interview! For the majority of the concert from about 30mins in until the end SHE HAD HER ELBOW LIKE LODGED INTO MY STOMACH!! I don't think I can describe this pain. It hurt a lot and I asked her many times to move but she ignored me. Seeing Miyavi for me was like a dream come true so I tried to suck it up and enjoy the concert as best as I could! When Miyavi looked out into the crowd I did my best to smile and cheer~~! He even played a set from his new music coming out this fall! I really enjoyed his new work!! It was fantastic!! One of my favorite songs Miyavi sang how ever would have to be "Stupid B*tch Motherf*cker". I'm like not kidding. That was like the entire song. Before he sang it he was like "Do you know what my favorite American saying is?" and everyone is like no what? and he just screams "stupid b*tch motherf*cker"! I honestly didn't know if I should laugh or cry at that moment. Laugh because it was just too cute and funny but also cry because sadly enough American's curse like it's nothing! So continued to sing and the audience cheered their brains out! As the concert went on though I began to start feeling "sick". I was running out of breath rather quickly and the air in the venue was extremely hot!! People started dropping like flies and security had to pull some people out of the audience that fainted. There was a lot of pushing and screaming and it was really getting out of control at some points. They had began throwing water onto the crowd to cool them down and even passed out water bottles (which everyone shared...ew!). The only time I enjoyed getting wet with the water is when Miyavi threw it from his water bottle~! When everyone else did it I felt so uncomfortable!! I felt like I had just jumped into a river or something! After I got my own water (which I did not share) Security was STILL screaming for everyone to move back! At that point Miyavi told everyone to back up and like magic EVERYONE took like a good 3 steps back! I swear this man has such an amazing force! One word from Miyavi and everyone does it! I know security was happy! Around this time I was in so much pain and had to rely on the tall guy in a white shirt to support me during the concert. I could barely stand let alone breathe anymore because of this girl's elbow! Like I don't understand what was wrong with her! I asked politely so many times and she ignored it.
If anyone is reading this I'm still working on this post!! Check back tomorrow if anything! A lot is going on atm so I'll try to finish this as soon as I can!! This day was really eventful and I'm trying to put in as much info as I can~! Thank you~!!
