London 3th of august Day1

This blog is about my 2day trip to London stansted/London central

To read my review about DIR EN GREY go here: Dir en grey review


on the 3th of august I stood up at 5am in the mo

rning, t

o get everything ready for my trip, and Dir en grey.

I got picked up by my friend and her mom at 6.30 and then we went to the airport,

at 7.45 I had to pick up my

most beloved friend (my sissaJellyLove) from the station at the airport

(I had some White latte mocha Starbucks in the meanwhile!)



there we went to the check in near the gates, and waited a bit till we decided to get ready to go in,

In the meantime AJAX randomly showed up, and I was like..not paying attention, straying at one of the players going all " don't I recognize him from somewhere?"

anywho, I don't care about soccer, I just recognized the guy from tv, and decided to take a pic because I could…

There ya go..it's a picture of the guys I don't know…the other guy was still in the bus and I couldn't care to much to take a picture of that too.


after they went in, we went in too, and tried to find our gate,

it was quite a bit chaotic, and I was pretty damn nervous because it was going to be my first time in the airplane,

after going trough customs (thank god I didn't have to go trough any extra checks, unfortunately Jelly's bag had to be checked, poor girl) we had to found our gate, but the departing sign was still on " wait please"

so in the meanwhile I could check out the airplanes outside, as I got to look at them I started to feel a lil bit less scared of them, though I was still nervous as hell to go in.


finally our departing gate was notified, and we could go to our plane,

since it was a Jet we had to go in by small stairs outside, god that

was a little bit scary



inside the plane I lolled a lot at the security signs since the illustrations were kind of stupid, one of them even looked as if it wanted to say "well Im going to jump out of the airplane now bye!"

after some waiting, and some explanations on how the security works and all, the plane started to move, and I became seriously nervous, starting to skim a bit trough a magazine, not trying to pay attention to the window, yet that didn't work and right when the plane took of I looked outside and almost shitted my pants,

I had to fight my tears, but as soon as we got up I actually liked the view, and started to lose my fear a bit.

I even had the guts to make pictures!



the flying only took 10 mins, the whole taking off, and landing too

k much more time,

when we arrived in london we went to the train, but it was to goddamn expensive so we took a bus instead,

the bus took about an hour but the view was really pretty, so I decided to spent the hour taking pictures of houses and stuff


after an hour we got in london Baker street, and from there we had to find our Hostel, we decided to walk, not knowing it would be that long of a

walk, but oh well its healthy to walk.

we got lost a couple of times, so I had to put on my Google maps on my phone, Gorsh im so glad I had that on my phone, helped us quite a bit,

after walking for god knows how long we finally arrived at our Hostel at 1Pm, we checked in, unfortunately we had to wait an hour before our room was ready, and we really didn't want to wait any longer, we wanted to go straight to KOKO

So we dumped our stuff in some Lockers, went to the toilets, and went towards KOKO.


also towards KOKO we decided to walk, and it was taking us another hour.

but the walk towards there was quite fun, I got approached by some old creepy guy telling me I was pretty, also sending us the wrong direction, but we found out quick enough so we didn't have to walk so much more extra.


finally at KOKO we saw a lil line standing already, but thank god it wasn't all that big yet, another old guy came my way and I went like "oh god not again" but luckily he only wanted to ask me w

hat band was playing at KOKO because he had never seen so much dedication towards a band before, I told him that whenever or where ever Dir en grey performs, its ALWAYS like that, sometimes even bigger lines!

[Picture on the left: In skirt:Emily, in allstars and grey jeans: Jellylove Guy:Tim girl half on the picture:Lisette, all dutchies except for Em.]

while waiting in the line I met someone from Deviantart, Emily, who I was already hoping to see as we talked to each other on deviantart about that day and how we could recognize each other,

also it was really fun meeting her, I got to chat in english, and she came up with a good idea to to spend our time waiting: waving at busses that are passing by!

And..count all the waves and everything we will get from the people inside the bus.

Here's a funny Video of us doing that, and other random stuff, and please ignore my fuglly face and voice please.


Also our total came to(I believe):

40 waves

3 smiles

3 middle fingers

1 kiss (that guy was awesome!)

thumbs up (great busdriver!)

and a lot of of "wtf" faces

oh and 1 camera shot!


and I got a wave from a cute asian who was walking on the other side of the street, he was looking at the line, and I waved and..I think it startled him a bit, but he decided to wave back anyhow, and it was CUTE!


Also Emily filmed the line and I walked along with her, and we got filmed a couple of times by people filming the line, including one of the Dir en grey roadie's whatsoever who was filming(I believe she even filmed us twice or 3 times or so)

Oh and I have a picture of a police officer giving the Diru Van a Ticket! xD

oh and the guy in the video with the curly hair and looking all scary, he showed up multiple times, and he even managed to buy a ticket because later that night he showed up at the concert xD!


Well after the concert we went to the artist exit ofcourse, waiting there for another hour, hoping my camera wouldn't die,

I completely froze when they came out of the doors and only remembered to film and stare,

and Kyo was hiding behind toshiya, so I really didn't expect him to come 3th..so I forgot to stick out my hand, was completely nailed down to the ground and just stared, I stared so much at Kyo and Toshiya, and kept thinking "oh my god they just walked infront of my own eyes" that I later noticed that I never remembered Shinya coming out, I only remember Die coming out last, and then I suddenly stuck out my hand though they were already gone*im SO stupid*

but I kept thinking "where the heck is shinya..I don't think i've seen him"

but seeing the video at home I figured he was there, I just..didn't see him because Kyo got me blinded!


[Screenshot from Vid, want to keep the vid to myself, and its blurry anyhow so D: and look at the kyo picture, IM JALOUS..stupid me..T__T]



well our way back to the Hostel was quite something,

me and Jelly were just walking, not seriously caring where we'd go, and the other 2 of our group were trying to find the way,

all me and Jelly complained about was about wanting to drink, and have some food(especially me)

also me and jelly were seriously fucking retarded at that moment, laughing and acting silly, like..there was this AWESOME CUTE ASIAN BOY in front of me, and I started waving at him (probably looking like a drunk maniac) and he just glared, turned around and..ell almost ran away xD

I think I even got nearly hit by a car because I just crossed the street without caring where the cars would come from(damn that car thing was confusing in London)

we got lost , and somehow ended up at King's cross, but found a Mac donalds still open there, so YAY food!

I didn't have food since 10am or so! and no drink since 7PM, and it was already midnight when we arrived xD

I ordered a Filet o fish, and some diet coke, and seriously I felt as if Dir en grey had given me hundreds of orgasms and like I had some extreme sex, so I just shove the burger up my mouth, chewed, swallowed, and looked like an animal doing that, I didn't even got the taste of it. it was gone before I knew it xD

from King's cross we knew we were close to the hostel, so we tried again, while walking we saw a couple, or..whatsoever anywho, they were asian, and the guy was CUTE, and I was still silly, so i was OBVIOUSLY pointing at him, and the girl looked back, right at me, and I was like " oh shit" and then she came our way, and I was all like "oh fuck now we have it!" but then she asked us if we heading for the hostel, and showed us where to go, and so..we found it!

Yay!

and then after a cigg, trying to find some more drink and failing at that, we were off to sleep!


Day 2 Coming later.(I mean look at the text! ill make a new blog for day 2 xD)
