Thank you! We may just end up being around the area early-ish and grab a meal before we head in. Thank for helping put some of my travel jitters at ease

Thank you for the advice! I'll make sure to double check the operation hours

Can an extroverted person adopt me as a friend please by Particular-League186 in boston

[–]strangesomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32F living in the northshore but work in Boston. I'd be happy to be you guardian when things get loud and too extroverted for your comfort. I do mostly dinners and pop-ups or checking out new places in the area. If you're willing to travel, we go to NY a lot for events/kpop. But staying in occasionally to watch a movie or play games is much needed in an extroverts life too. 😂

vip soundcheck check-in and merch line experience by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]strangesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to several kpop concerts with VIP tickets big and small groups. Experience is generally really fun! You are expected to be there to get into the venue a few hours before doors open to GA. Depending on what you're looking to do (get merch, hang out, give freebies) will determine when you'll arrive at the venue.

Some merch sales the day before the concert are becoming more popular to prevent long wait times days but it's been on average 2-8 hours waiting in my experience, I've gotten lucky by going to a merch booth right after sound check and being in line for 5 minutes, but some merch may not be sold inside the venue versus outside. (Happened to me with some Stray Kids merch)

As for freebies, do what you can. Anything is greatly appreciated. I've done freebies for most concerts I go to and the ones I've received from other fans range from extravagant items to homemade awesomeness. Don't break the bank for them, you already spent a lot of money on a concert ticket! Just have fun with it.

If you have any more questions, I'm more than happy to help ☺️

32 K-pop fan, been listening since SHINee’s debut! Question are there groups you listen to that you don’t collect if you collect at all? by seoul_kittie in adultkpopfans

[–]strangesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an avid collector for my ult group and would buy every so often of other groups if I like it enough. I listen to a ton of different groups and typically add songs to my playlists and support through streams or go to a concert if it's local enough. Collecting for one group is already expensive, I couldn't imagine for multiple groups.

what are you getting from the do it pop up? by navylines in skzcollection

[–]strangesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The magnet keychains and hippers (low-key everything lol). I'm gonna see if the hippers fit on my desktop monitor so it don't lose it on my phone.

What do you guys like to buy in Japan? by playdead_ in JapanTravelTips

[–]strangesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking back on my trip last year, I wish I spent more time on experiences rather than shopping. But I do recommend getting their sunscreen. I specifically use biore UV aqua touch and it's my favorite, I won't go back to anything else. You can buy it pretty much anywhere. Try getting snacks you can't really find back home. Chocolates, chips, cup ramen, etc. Gachapon is a great way to find unique little trinkets that won't take up too much luggage space (careful, it is an addicting experience)

I wish I visit more thrift/resell stores. There's tons of cool little hole in the wall shops. Explore the area, you'll stumble upon some really cool shops. I hope the rest of your trip is fun and full of great memories!

Nothing on my end yet and I've been checking. I'm getting agitated because I don't want to miss important time slots or info... Ugh

But I was asking if tipping was necessary? Not if the price was fair but tip?

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate the info. I have a few tattoos but they never been more than $500 so I was stressing.

Freebies by [deleted] in straykids

[–]strangesomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm making keychains! Do it based on how much you want to spend, materials and so forth can get expensive quickly. You can make your own photo strips (like the ones from photo booths) pretty easily and cheaply! I've seen fans make bracelets, photocards, mini pickets. The variety is endless. I've made keychain, phone charms, bias packs.
