alterkrmn | Fanmeetings (and anxiety) (Reply)

So... a couple of weeks ago, there was a rumor about a fanmeeting for Thai actors happening in the US, and Mexican fans started losing their (our) minds because apparently, the same thing happened when the company that brings fanmeetings to Mexico announced the GeminiFourth fanmeeting.

The rumor didn't last long... maybe a day or two. Then we got the news: The Heartkillers actors will come to New York and Mexico City in July for fanmeetings. There's one problem though. To buy tickets early (the presale for Mexico City starts next Thursday), you need a card from one special bank and I don't have one. The regular ticket sale starts Friday. That's okay for me, but I was hoping to try for VIP tickets. Since two popular couples are coming this time, I think all the best tickets will sell very fast... *sigh*

I’m not a concert person, and I rarely go to events because of money (the gods know I’m fucking struggling to make ends meet :) ) and some sensory issues. But if you’ve read my post about my obsession with The Heartkillers these past few months, you can probably guess that I want to go. I really want to go. I’d love to get a picture with Khaotung, First, Joong, and Dunk... though I’m not sure if that’ll happen. Still, I’d be happy just being there.

Anyway, these past 10 days (okay, it hasn’t even been two weeks, lol) I’ve learned a lot about how people act at fanmeetings here, and I’ve decided I’m going to make some freebies (maybe some stickers, I still don't know) to give out when I go (yes, I’m assuming I will go, hahaha). And I really hope I can make some Spanish-speaking fandom friends.

There are things that make me nervous, though. Like my age: most people I follow are in their twenties (I'm sure there are people my age out there, but I haven't found them yet). Or the fact that I’m the most awkward person I know. Or that I’ve spent most of my fandom life in English-speaking spaces, so sometimes I just don’t get certain jokes or terms in Spanish. And finally, the fact that it will be my first time going to an event of this kind.

Anyway, we’ll see if I make it. Pray for me, I guess.
