Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Godtier across the board with a couple exceptions.
Catchy songs, incredibly good absolute first album.

If your parents drive you there then won't they be with you to "tour berkley"?
well i probably will too, cause i cant just stay the day of concert. ill look around colleges saturday after being content as fuck watching kpop.
Maybe I'm not understanding this right. All on the basis that they already said yes. Are you going to tell them before you leave that you're going to a concert in SF before you go visit Berkeley or are you going to tell them when you're already there in SF? If you tell them before then doesn't that make it obvious you're going there to watch the concert while using the Berkeley tour as a excuse. Also what do you expect your parents to do while you're watching the concert if you tell them when you're already there, because I'm pretty sure if they say yes, they do thinking that its going to be some family trip to Berkeley.

I'm gonna tell them I wanna go tour berkeley, and then go see a concert the day before. Or something. I just need something tangible so that I can go to the concert in the first place x_x

Looks? Yes. Voices? No. Catchy songs? Double yes. But most importantly, they do everything to the extreme. IGCBOY performances were crazy hot, Bo Beep was stupidly cute (cat paws etc), Roly Poly intensely retro, Cry Cry had that "epic" kinda feeling (dunno how to say that better) and now Lovey Dovey with the full dedication to shuffling. And yea, TTL was just the best K-pop song ever. T-ara can do the weirdest shit and still pull it off.

This is correct. Even Boram was good during Cry Cry and Hwayoung solo from Musicbank Lovey Dovey was pretty cool.
On another note, finally got to watch RM70, so funny <3 Why doesn't everybody watch Running Man?

First wins always emotional
SeoHyun and Hyo hugging SoYeon @1:35, so I guess they are still pretty close
^ Oh I wanted to ask about this. To all those who bought tickets for the second day: What are you gonna do? Settle for a ticket on the first day (worst places ever :/ ) or not come at all and get a a refund?

I got my refund already (they did it automatically). Thing is, I still have non-refundable train tickets and hotel room. Might do just two days in Paris but I really don't see the point.

honest question TT
Easy call.
I mean I plan on going and chilling in NY while Yuri is there filming for her drama assuming everything works out. That will be like a 10 hour drive 1 way. Though I will probably go with a friend or 2 because we have been meaning to roadtrip to NY sometime anyway.
I wouldn't travel a long distance for kpop if it was the sole reason for my travels. But if you incorporate it in your "things to do" such as meeting Boxer/watching GSL/visiting the country in general then it becomes an AWESOME experience, because its harder to be let down, if you are let down at all.
Just watched that Park Hyun Bin performance from Music Bank, never noticed he got so chubby lol. He looks so different with those chubby cheeks.
Also Lovey Dovey as a song is pretty good, keeps getting better the more I listen. The performance however, apart from top-tier Hyomin, isn't really worth watching :S
Edit: 9 hour drive really isn't that long, especially if you have other things you can visit as well. I wouldn't mind traveling a week for SNSD solo concert if I had the time, but since the chances of a world tour are pretty big I probably won't have to.
