Secret For Keeps

Last night I had so much fun.  I went to a concert at the Knitting Factory in LA and got to see Blood, GPKISM, DJ Sisen, and Vamp Star.  I was going to go with my friend Adrian but he got pink eye and ended up not being able to go.  I was panicking all day cuz my mom won't let me go to concerts just by myself in case something happens.  I was able to convince her though, cuz I was meeting up with friends, even though she didn't know them.  I just barely got to go. ^^

When I got there it was kind of funny.  It was  a long car drive so I had to pee really bad.  XD  But there were no bathrooms around!  The ones they had were out of order so we started wandering around in search of one and we went into this hotel but it was really weird.  All the lights were dimmed and there was almost nobody around.  Kind of creepy.  Then we found their bathrooms but they were locked.   So we left and wandered around some more and finally got to use one in The Coffee Bean.  Thank god.  By then it was about time for them to start letting people in so we went back to the line and got in fairly quickly.

The first act, Vamp Star, kind of sucked.  No offense to them, but they did.  At first I just thought, Oh god, I have to sit through crappy music.  THEN the CAT GIRLS came out.  Skinny asian chicks in their bras and thongs with cat ears.  Oh dear lord.  All I could do was shake my head.  An example of how bad the band was?  The final song only had one line, which they said over and over again.  "Vamp Star is sexy sexy, Vamp star is sexy sexy" etc. 

Next was GPKISM.  Ken is a beautiful man and a good singer.  I liked his theatrical-ness. ^^  I also was very touched when he said one of his songs was dedicated to his best friend who had died three years ago. T.T  He was so nice.

The third act was DJ Sisen.  This dude is absolutely crazy!!!  Crazy outfit, bubble-wrap dreadlocks, and a cow umbrella.    His music was like... hardcore rock pop dance alternative fetish STUFF.  There's just no explaining it.  My friends and I were dancing like crazy the entire time he was on.  It was intense, I've never danced that much in my entire life.  :P  Lots of fun.

FINALLY.  Blood comes out.  It was only Fuki and Kiwamu cuz Kaede and Ryo couldn't come (or wouldn't come?) but it was still really great.  I got up close along the side.  (Right next to the speaker.  My left ear still hasn't recovered and it's been over twelve hours.  Egads.)  I was jumping up and down and waving my arms around the entire time.  I got to touch Fuki three times!   They were easily the best group there.  I enjoyed it so much.

At the end I bought the Blood Best Collection CD and got them to sign it.  It was kind of funny cuz I wanted Fuki and Kiwamu to sign the front cuz they were in the band and then have Ken and Sisen sign the back.  But after Fuki and Kiwamu gave it back to me, I went over to Sisen and he signed it, then passed it a long and Fuki and Kiwamu signed it again!  Haha, so their signatures are on the back and front. :P

I had such an amazing time, and I found out my friends were going to see An Cafe in April, so I'm gonna see if I can go too.  Yay!

So today at Japanese school it was Mitsukeyou Nihon Day. (Discover Japan)  We got to enjoy Okinawa dancing, learn a little bit of it, watch a karate demonstration, and make sushi.  And no class.   So that was my fun morning after the concert as my ears were still ringing.  I never knew the meaning of "ringing in your ears" until this concert.  I dunno if this is a good or bad thing.
