Ahhhhh Baltimore. How awesome you are. My group was able to arrive by 6am, wake up some homeless people in the process of finding parking, and get in line right up front. I was #9~~~

I was the first to go in for the autograph signing though, because we all decided I'd go first to give them the fanbook~. When anyone else went in, did you see the fanbook sitting there or around them? (I hope? XD)

Lots of problems with the whole getting your Otakon badge early thing, miscommunication there, but it worked out, which was nice.

Inside I was able to get barrier right in front of Ju-Ken which made me SOSOSOSOSOSO happy~~!!! :DDD JU-KENNNNN. And he wore his leopard print pants (again, wore them in...Hartford too, I believe). Which are win. And make me want to cosplay Ju-Ken someday. XDDDDDDDD

The crowd started off great, I mean, I really think it was better then New York. Still rough, but MUCHHHH better. The security guards spraying water though got pretty annoying really fast though... I want to DRINK the water, not have it all over me! visualgurl was next to me and she dropped her glowstick and asked one of the guys to get it for her and he did, but then he poured water down the front of her tank top... like that's a bit uncalled for...

Then I pointed out a pick on the stage and they got it for me, but not before pouring water all in my hand first. o_O Um. Okay then. >_>;;;

But it was great. I'm SOOOOO glad they played Lucy!!!

AND HYDE TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF.
Brb died and gone to heaven. Oh man, the nipple piercings... I think he just completed part of my life right there. XDDD

It was SO much fun and I had fun hanging out with everyone in line too. I MISS ALL OF YOU ALREADY. aldjsflkjsdlfjsdl.

...and, because I'm me, I ended up with a sort of psuedo set list. Not an actual list of order, but songs they played. I need to find it in my luggage still though. >>;;

I also got, in Baltimore, Hyde's pick (the one I saw on the stage and the guy got for me) and Ju-Ken because visualgurl was flirting with him before hand, and asked him to bring us picks AND HE ACTUALLY DID!!! He got a Hyde and Ju-Ken for her, and a Ju-Ken for me too!! :DDD I couldn't believe it. XD I got a KAZ pick in Hartford so now I have all 3 picks. :3 My collection is complete~ 8D

I'm sad my VAMPS-ing is over and I'm not seeing them again. I miss VAMPS. I miss the roadies. I miss that cute young roadie with glasses and a camera... and J. J is awesome. And the crew. And of course VAMPS themselves. XDDD



OHOHOH. PS. Did everyone notice that they had the BALTIMORE banner hanging up backstage?? (It might've been mentioned, I haven't read this thread... >>;;) The banner was hanging up backstage and it kept falling down (humidity) but they kept taping it back up! And they were all looking at it, and pointing things out, it was really cool. :) (At one point I saw Arimatsu hanging around in the back too and we waved and he waved back. XDDD)

...I need sleep. [/stops ranting now]
