Yes! Finally! We finally got together. Today we finally got to talk and had a deep fangirling session along other local Bana. Our fanbase is not too big... but it is surely loyal and that's what is important. I wanted to take more photos but the chit chat and fangirling was so good that we even forgot about taking photos.
On this gathering we where talking about their trajectory and the difference from their 1st Baba Concert to The Class concert. They have grown so much it is really impressive. I'm so happy that we have people here that we can talk about B1A4 non stop. We also sang happy birthday to CNU and one of the Bana came up with a cool event to celebrate his birthday that week. I hope we can do it. I wish it lasted longer the time went by so fast talking about the boys that we didn't even finished watching The Class DVD. We had so much to catch up with. To those that attended Thank you and I hope we get to see each other really soon. Here are some of the photos we managed to take.

Back in December of 2013 a new event was taking shape withing our local KPop Fandoms. That event was our 2nd local Kpop Convention/Festival. The first one was back in 2012 and you can find all the information of B1A4 been represented on that Festival here. Now we had another chance to participate in a MAYOR local KPop event. This event was organized by Blue Ocean ELF Puerto Rico (a local group of Super Junior's Elf) They invited other fandoms to join them on a celebration that ended up in a local Kpop Convention. Thanks to Mrs. Jessica Rosa for working so hard against so all odds. Really. Thank you. This has been a huge roller coaster for all the fandoms participating from the organizer to our own little and pretty table. We all had a lot of things to work out and sacrifice in order to represent our fandoms the RIGHT way. I personally have to give thanks to two amazing and hard working BANAs that without them this wouldn't even be possible. Ale and Ely... I am really thankful to have you girls. Thanks for all your help even with your extremely busy personal schedules you guys manage to help out from beginning to end. To the girls from other fandoms (Lorena 'JYJ' and Alie 'B2ST') that helped with keeping our table safe while we arrived and also helped with the sales... THANKS! We got there around 10AM a little bit late... but once we arrived people didn't even let us place all the official merchandise and things that we had for sale. We practically had to hurry up and set up everything really fast. The table didn't end up like we actually planned but either way everything worked ou. It had all we wanted... official B1A4 merchandise on display that you could watch and touch (as in check it out... lol!). We had for sale this cute BANA Kits that included a B1A4 group photo, a random pin of one of the members, a random bookmark of one of the members and a pack stickers that included B1A4 Information and B1A4 Facts. Among other things we had for sale where posters and photos of the members. Surprisingly CNU & Sandeul's photos and pins where the HOT items this time around... but yes all members had their own fans. We also had cupcakes and brownies to celebrate Sandeul's upcoming birthday on March 20th. They where really good and tasty... turned out to be a life saver and help some hard working and starving BANA go through all the event without moving away from the table. I couldn't visit the other tables because there where people showing up and visiting our table all the time. It was really good to see a whole family at the convention. Parents taking their kids and trying to connect with them in this KPop world their kids are getting involved in. There where also people doing cosplay which was really fun to watch. Another MAIN event where the dancing and singing. Some did cover songs, other just kept dancing none stop to the whole playlist. The fandoms did an awesome work on their tables. For example VIXX did the logo (the robot face logo) with cardboard... it was so well done it looked AMAZING all 3D and big it was around 2 feet tall. Sadly I don't have photo but it was really cool. A lot of fan devotion on the convention. I also noticed a lot of FANBOYS... that was really cool. We need more fanboys indeed. The girls from K-Zone where the ones in charge of the MC at the event. They did a very nice work in keeping people involved on moving around the tables and participating on the tables raffle. (NOTE: I was just informed that the girls from K-Zone where NOT responsible for the music playlist. That the ones responsible for it where the organizers of the event Blue Ocean ELF Puerto Rico (a local group of Super Junior's Elf). The person they left in charge was the DJ and he didn't followed the given playlist. He just went ahead and accepted all the song requested. Therefore I ask for forgiveness and again they (K-Zone) did an awesome work like I mentioned before. I hope this doesn't get misunderstood. Either way I stand my ground that the music playlist needed more diversity. Now knowing this I will sit by the DJ table next time and from time to time ask the DJ to play more B1A4 and many other groups if this is how it will work.) The only thing I wish that they put more attention to was the music selection. Since it was a KPOP in general event I was expecting that they had more music on their playlist. They practically mostly played any SM or YG artist. The rest of the KPop music was.... on hold until almost the end of the event when some how they remembered there were other groups there. I mean I got there at 10AM and left at around 4PM and they only played ONE song of B1A4 and other Kpop groups as well totally forgotten. Not cool. So that is my only comment on this... more diversity of music for the next event. We want other people to listen to other artist besides the "favorites" or atleast if there are around +20 tables of different groups it means people are interested on them and want to listen to them too. Make a more balanced playlist next time according to the fandoms that will be represented. It is a KPOP event after all not a personal playlist. Open the door to others to know there are more KPop groups out there. To all the people that visited and bought our available merchandise THANK YOU. Thanks to you we can now know and finally grasp that there is a lot of people really interested in B1A4. Our raffle was really popular with the crowd. Everyone wanted B1A4's Who Am I album (it was a random cover of the album). I posted a photo of the lucky winner of the album below. She was really happy and she told us it was the first time she ever wins something... so it was special. I mean she REALLY wanted that album. Overall the event was AMAZING. All the hard work really paid off. It was nice to see old friends and meet new people. I think there is already another convention on the planning board so I guess this summer will be very busy. If your local KPop fandoms unite to do some event like this one please try to be part of it. It is really inspiring... emotional drainage might occur but once you see the fans of the devoted fans walking to your table and asking about your favorite group or bias you just forget all that and just enjoy the show. Enjoy our photos. Please give credits and do not remove the logo. Thanks! Fighting!
Direccion de como llegar a la actividad.Merry Christmas 2012 to all BANA around the world.
Hope you are having an awesome day with your family and friends. Best wishes and lots of blessing to all of you. |
