Well not really, BlackPink in Los Angeles.

Kaili and I spent 24 hours in LA for a BlackPink concert. We stopped in Dana Point to meet family for lunch and then continued through OC and LA traffic reaching our destination a handful of hours before the concert. We checked into The Biltmore, dropped our stuff in the room and took a tour of the hotel.

We had time before dinner to go explore our neighborhood which included Grand Central Market.

Had I known, I wouldn’t have made dinner reservations, which turned out to be a bust anyhow. On our way out we stumbled upon vendors selling their creations. We window shopped our way to a Starbucks. She got a drink and then we went back to the hotel where I got a drink AND we ordered dessert for after the show.

Not shown, a glass of chardonnay a piece of cheesecake and chocolate mousse.

We tucked our goodies into the hotel fridge and relaxed before our get ready time.

Once we were ready we ubured to dinner. As soon as we walked in I had a feeling I had made a mistake about our timing. There was only one waiter and a bunch of people with no food. He was honest and told us that the kitchen was backed up. I told him we were heading to Dodger Stadium and he suggested we just head straight there as traffic in and out is bad. Well shit…at that moment I wished we had eaten at the market. I called another car to come pick us up and we were heading to the stadium an hour and a half early. It did take a long time to get into the venue and by the time we were in line it was close to 8:00. Everything was packed, the line for food, merch, drinks and the bathroom. People everywhere. I realized that if we were to do this all over again we either get there super early and hang around inside the stadium or we arrive minutes before the show is to start.

Were are seats great, no. Were they expensive, also no. I won us tickets on a radio show so there was no complaining about our view.

I wasn’t able to get her a lightstick as I promised because the line was constant all night. She new every song and I think it’s safe to say she had a great time.

Do not show her that video, she was hell bent on me deleting it.

We left the concert a tad early to beat all the ride share traffic. Once back in our room we washed up, put on our jammies and ate dessert in bed.
