It is time. I’m finally “ready” to see B1A4 on their B1A4 Road Trip Live Tour to USA at Best Buy Theater in NYC.
Never in a million years I believed that I’ll get to see them at a concert. I’ve been following B1A4 since Sep.16 2011 when their 2nd mini album It B1A came out. I always dreamed of seen them live and tried to attend both of their performances at LA but turned that down cause it was overly expensive when you added plane ticket, actual even ticket, hotel, food, transportation,etc. I decided to save up believing that perhaps next year they would visit NYC. And here we are now READY to see them LIVE. I know that I’m going to see them and all but I’m still not really in the “OMFG I’M REALLY SEEN THEM LIVE” reaction. I know I’ll cry and get all emotional but overall I’m gonna be happy. B1A4 will be my 1st Kpop concert ever and the 1st time I ever travel to another country with the main reason of just attending a concert. So yes they mean A LOT TO ME. I’m just so glad I saved and didn’t attend their past LA events. I would have missed this HUGE opportunity. So breaking down the photos and the items on them: 1st photo: the black shirt custom made for the event. Since other local Banas are attending too we will all be wearing this shirt at the concert // lightstick //pins ppyounge & cnu gom // headband b1a4♥bana & gom ears // banners3 different styles to give away to attending Bana. rest of the photos: a little gift I have for B1A4. It includes Puerto Rico flag, the banners we will be giving away and some other random stuff. The idea was to get a shirt for each member but I had no budget for that so I at least tried to get one for them. It is the same shirt we will be wearing at the concert but white. On the back of both shirts you can see the logo and the info of our local Bana representation. yey! I hope they like it. If I can find something at the airport that is really local I shall get it and add it to the gift set. I really want them to know that Bana Puerto Ricolove them too and will be supporting them always. I tried to do all the fan things that can be done the banners the light stick the headband and everything. I really don’t know when I’ll be able to do this again so I better be safe than sorry and lament later that I didn’t do it. To all BANA attending the US part of their tour please be safe have a nice travel. I know some are taking bus, trains, planes, driving and all. I salute your devotion and effort. We got this. We can do it! Fighting! B1A4 ♥ BANA // BE THE ONE ALL FOR ONE

With the B1A4's "Road Trip" World Tour coming soon, International Fanbases (B1A4Fighting, B1A4Couple, FLYB1A4, Official_B1A4, B1A4UK, B1A4Peru B1A4PR, WeHeartB1A4) decided to team up to show our support for B1A4 this September in their Manila Road Trip Concert, especially for our squirrel boy Baro who will be celebrating his birthday a day before the concert itself. This Joy Ride Project is to HELP for the food support during the concert day and give Baro a cake to commemorate his birthday (if we get enough money). We sent our donation of $20 for this project. Thanks to Bana that participated. You can find more info on our blog here, here and the project website here. You can see the cakes that were part of this project on the photos and video below. It was recorded by WM Entertainment as part of Baro's bday celebration and Road Trip Tour vlog. You can find the complete information here. Photos: B1A4 Philippines. In case you don't know it yet. B1A4 Puerto Rico will be attending B1A4 Road Trip US at NYC this next October 3rd. I think we are more than ready for the event. we have our shirt. I did my placard and my head band. Really excited for the concert and to see/meet other fans.
The only reason I did the banners was that I want B1A4 to feel welcomed at the venue. It is their first stop of the US Tour so yes we have to leave a mark that day. Besides I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to see them again. We finally got the banners printed. We will be giving this to attending Bana at NYC. I hope we had more banners but that is all we could afford. They came out pretty and that is all that matters.

We've always wanted to create or at least participate in a project for B1A4's concerts for quite a while now and show our support to our boys aside from giving updates and prove that we really exist.

B1A4 Bana Puerto Rico participated in B1A4 Forest Project along with BANA from around the world to create a forest to commemorate B1A4's 3rd Anniversary from their debut back in 2011. The amount of money needed for this project is 5,000,000 W which is around 5,000 USD. The number of trees planted will be decided upon the total amount of fund raised. They estimate that if every person participating donates around 5.00 USD this can be done. All the detailed information about this project can be found on our blog here.
All the images below are printshots of the transaction and confirmation of our participation on this project. The total amount of the donation was $50.00 USD (53,455.00 ₩) // $30.00 (Table Sales) + $20.00 (Bana Donation) Thanks to all those that participated. 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! |
