well i loved the experience i had at the HOB Chicago....
I showed up around 2 pm, I was a black guy wearing heels and earrings and a blinding shirt,,,HAHA,,,,I did the "pass the line" after waiting for a friend, then we got in line inside thank god. Security was not bad at all actually compared to other events i have been to. In line i met a couple of very cool people! When it came time to get a spot though my friends ran up and got us a good spot. so was in the second standing row on the railing right in the center,,,I was next to two very nice brothers LMAO they were so cute and funny!!

On Utada she was amazing,,,I never expected her to sound better than on her recordings when singing live. I like how all the songs were like made more rock sounding,,,and i thought the bass was on point!! We made eye contact many many times. I thought i was going to explode.

One thing that did bother me and make me sad at the same time was there was this asian couple from Japan that was right behind me {in heels im 6'} so before the concert i made a comment that if they wanted to switch to let me know. Kind of jokingly but i was serious,,,but then some of the their friends came and then they all started talking in japanese, and me an my friend are both japanese majors {Im a third year and she is a fifth year} so we understood most of what they were saying. They were saying that i was too tall and that they wished i would move,,,and always saying i cant see i cant see why wont he just move. Then they like thought of different ways to ask me to move,,,,,but the thing is not only did i feel it was disrespectful to talk loudly about me in another language just because you think im a weebo, but the man behind me was violating my personal space A LOT,,,and they just nevere asked me to do anything. I really wanted to let the first couple stand in front of me but after their friends came i just couldnt do it. besides i have been there since 2. and in fact i think they caught one of the balls,,,
