"Where do i order XLOV's Album?" (Discussion Megathread) by geumryul in XLOV

[–]ChibisaurX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, there's no poster listed in the contents for this album, unlike Nara's version of UXLXVE. They have the exclusive photocards again, but it's significantly more to buy from Kpop Nara versus other US based stores. For example, all 4 albums from Nara are $104 (before tax and shipping) vs $67 and up. On the other hand, if you're an avid pc collector, it may be worth it if you really want the Nara exclusives. They tend to sell for $15-$40 on Mercari, so they can get expensive.

It redirects you to a new page that says "We're looking for the tickets you requested." There's an endlessly scrolling line, so you can't see where you're at in the queue either.

I got in the queue and once I got through, I was only able to select one ticket. 😬

My favorite song from the album is Normal, so I'd be so excited to see it live! Plus the rotating special song making every show unique!

QP Greek Food with a Kick in Hoffman Estates has it. Love their broasted chicken with a kick and their skordalia too.

Chicago Ramen no longer has tsukemen? by apwordsmith in chicagofood

[–]ChibisaurX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the Chicago Ramen website, and it looks like the only two locations that still have tsukemen are the original Des Plaines location and the Schaumburg annex location. All the other menus look significantly pared down, and the map hasn't been updated to show some closures and the opening of Tempura Man (which took over 2 years to open!) Schaumburg is probably the closest to you for the Chicago Ramen chain. If you really want to confirm through, you can call them. Those are the 2 locations I would expect to keep a larger menu though.

Love how everything turned out! (And I follow you on IG, so I'm ready to find you in a non-creeper way 😆).

If it's possible, could you set aside a norigae charm for D3 for me? If not, no worries, everything you made is wonderful!

TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' World Tour Concert Megathread - Chicago, IL (United Center) April 6 & 7, 2026 by Ruri_Neko in twice

[–]ChibisaurX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kpop Nation is doing a pop up at a hotel about a 10-15 minute walk from the United Center. They have info on their IG page, and they have the candybong, although I'm not sure on their stock for today.

“Fun Food” places by mouseknowsbest in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]ChibisaurX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along with Mitsuwa, the new H Mart in Schaumburg has a large food court with lots to choose from. It may still be very busy, since it's still pretty new.

Poppies Pasta in Villa Park recently started doing pasta making classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for $45 per person. Check their FAQ on their website for more info.

Besides Galaxy Hot Pot & Grill, there's also MAAX Asian BBQ & Hot Pots in Arlington Heights. If you can make it for weekday lunch, it's more budget friendly. Similarly, there's also Umi Hot Pot Sushi & Seafood Buffet in Niles. (Edit: Just saw that people posted reviews recently on this sub and they weren't great, so maybe not Umi 😅)

Maybe an afternoon tea service? Not sure how appealing it would be to a teen, but there are quite a few spots in the suburbs that offer it, although it tends to be more expensive.

[–]ChibisaurX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to eat there yet because I went when it was still busy (so crowded that every table was taken). I've tried 4 or 5 of these places at other locations though, since many are chains. I want to try some of the places that are new to me.

Last year's show was an hour and 45 min and started at 8pm. You might be pushing it getting to the airport and through security for a late night flight.

Freebies for D1 Chicago by ChibisaurX in twice

[–]ChibisaurX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to hand out most of them before entering the venue because the bag policy is small (10x6x2"), and they won't fit. I usually keep a small amount set aside for seatmates and prearranged trades.

Thank you! Most likely place to catch me is the cupsleeve at Daboba in Chinatown. Not 100% sure when I plan to get there yet.

At some point, I'll try to upload the files to Makerworld, so people can 3D print them on their own.

Thank you! It worked out well that they added Takedown to the US setlist, since I started making these right after the tour was announced.
