We went to Times Square to watch the Billboard of SM Town NYC and our Girls "The Boys" promotion video as well. All of my friends has already decided on going to the airport to meet up with the girls
while i was still unsure whether i was going to go or not. I decided to go and on the way to Madison Square and Penn Station, I was pulled for an interview with TVN, the PD said "You will get interviewed
and we will drop you off at the airport in return" I took the chance and went with another member to outside MSG while everyone went off to the subway to JFK.
Fast forward to the airport, i arrived there after the interview, which took about 1.5 hours and it was cold and windy, as i walked into JFK, all my friends were already there and picked the best spots to take
pictures and just get good footage of the Girls as we waited for them to get off the plane. The wait was long and i was feeling butterflies and nervousness take over like never before, It felt as if this was my first
seeing the girls though I had previously saw them in Seoul for the SSF field trip, but this would be closer and more intimate i thought. Their plane landed and the anticipation was building, we started to see more
and more exiting, and then a random man said "Guys, they took a side exit, they're over there" motioning to a side exit, EVERYONE makes a mad dash for the exits, while others stayed put and hoped it was true.
I managed to get out just in time and found a spot at the front of the SMtown pink bus and readied my iPhone for the girls to go in. All of the girls look GORGEOUS, and Jessica is my favorite, but today Taeyeon
just stood out to me so much that when she walked by I said "Oh My God" and she looked like she enjoyed it and smirked

fast forward to the next day where Smtown is finally underway and im in the General admission standing room right at the barricade by the extended stage.
which is perfect for seeing the girls wherever they were on stage. In this moment Yuri and yoona are dancing to Kissing You and Yuri is being sexy at the front of the stage being her bubbly
sexy self then I turn to Yoona who is dancing on the arm of the stage. On my iPhone i have a Rilakkuma case and and we all know hoe much Yoona absolutely loves
the thing and when she sees my phone at 0:45 she waves and gives me a 'victory sign'
The girl is absolutely gorgeous and at that moment i died.

Then with the girls at center stageand 'HAHAHA' playing the girls are running around and i have my Rilakkuma iPhone and I am fancamming away. Most of the girls notice my phone and come up and show me some love.
'Himnae' comes on after and more fanservice continues.
at 0:10 Seohyun notices and waves to my camera
at 0:25 Yoona sees my phone again and waves to me
at 0:32 Seohyun comes back and shoots a heart at me /DEAD
at 2:07 Yuri comes back and waves
at 2:45 Yuri points at me when she sing "Yes, its you"
In a span of 2 minutes i died a total of 5 times at each time the girls noticed me filming, one of the happiest experiences at a concert I've ever had, so much love and these girls know how to show their fans that they love them.

After the show ended, we are all HUNGRY, THIRSTY, throats hurt from screaming we head to KTown to get something to eat, cause waiting in line since 8AM that morning and.
The day before, after we came back from the airport we went to Kang Suh which was open 24hours where we ate K-BBQ and the manager made small talk with us, I asked him "do you like 소녀시대"
I guess my pronunciation was bad cause he didn't understand, so my friends helped me and then he finally understood, I told him my favorite was Jessica and he said "I like SHINee" we were all 0_0
He joked around by saying they were "sexy" we all die in laughter as he said this, and he single handedly waited on 23 people by himself... AMAZING. More small talk ensues and he told us that SM had rented out the
place for Sunday and we took what he said with a grain of salt. Fast foward to after the show were looking for food and we went by the restaurant and it had security and it wasn't open to other customers.
so we stuck around and 10-15 mins and we see the pink SM bus pull up and out comes the artists and security.
Jessica scuttles by so fast i barely got her on cam T_T

The next day we are queuing in line for the First Fan Meet in the US at the BestBuy Theatre in Times Square. a few of us got hungry including JadeFalcon and MoonSoshi9,
so we walk around looking for a cheap place to eat and someone recommended a deli around the corner and we happened to find the W hotel with a bunch of people outside, turns
out this is where the SM and the girls were staying. We stuck around and Shinee comes out, after that we go eat and come back and after that TVXQ, SuperJunior
and F(x) come out of the hotel.
Please, excuse my fanboying, i have a thing for TVXQs Yunho and after meeting Amber in Seoul, ive become a HUGE fan.

So we leave and come back later on and know that the girls are coming out soon, so we wait PATIENTLY, and the first batch of girls that come out are Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Yoona and Sunny.
Sooyoung and Yoona are gorgeous so are Hyoyeon and Sunny wow, these girls shine in person. I was really struck by Sooyoung, she was GORGEOUS, small face and she's not really that tall.

Next up Taeyeon , Tiffany and Yuri come out and these girls again are beyond words. Especially Taeyeon who to me the whole weekend was adorable and gorgeous.
Tiffany as well, she showed me lots of love at the concert and outside as well and Yuri looked amazing and my friend Halfway was able to give her Minnie Mouse doll to Yuri in this vid,

Next the girls are sitting in their van and they move to the front seats and you can see them closer, their smiles melt my heart everytime, Taeyeons is especially cute,
and you can see how popular she is with the fans as the screams got louder as each girl shifted the seats to the front. This is an epic TaeNyYul Sandwich for the ages
and you can also see that, Tae is holding one of MANY dukongs she recieved that weekend. As Yuri got out of her seat, she was holding a huge pink white box, that was the
box that my friend JadeFalcon had given the girls where he drew portraits of the Girls for "the Boys" album

Jessica comes out but i miss her while i was concentrating my efforts on this van.... sigh T_T
After that we are pretty much done and run back to wait in line, cause they were beginning to stamp the hands of the people in line and we did not want to miss that of course.
Before i left i was staring through the vans tinted windows and the girls were waving back and making gestures before they left and i motioned to Jessica "I'll see you later" as in at the fanmeet.
Little did i know, that would be more true than i believed, knowing most of the members of the SSF staff, I was pulled me to help do crowd control and we had a bunch of people lined up in times square
while the girls were being interviewed by MTV Iggy and were being played on the billboard. I got backstage access to the show and WOW, being 1 foot away from the Girls is just..... ~shutters~ AMAZING
I get goosebumps, from thinking about being so close, and making and receiving eye contact and greeting from each and every member was just.... AMAZING, I could die a happy man. I wanna thank all
of the amazing people that made this possible for me this weekend Soy, Pallie, Will, Andrew, Cyrus, Cami, fellow volunteer Steve and everyone else who was there and backstage, we shared an amazing
experience together and witnessed the handwork and dedication of all our Girls first hand, nothing compares.
I wanna thank all my fieldtrip chingoos, we made another amazing memory together and this time we were less shy, and much more outgoing with eachother, I MISS ALL OF YOU.
This weekend was unforgettable and something i will carry with me forever, from the epic concert to the fanmeet everything, getting to see the girls, it was a dream come true and something i will
NEVER forget.
