daughter and husband scored IU tickets for Rosemont in the Chicago area – i dare not ask how much it cost, they had to get 2nd market tickets…

happily, my sister, brother-in-law and their married with children kids live over there so i will be busy with my sister while my two people are squeeing at the concert.

question: where is the Ktown area in Chicago? is there one? regardless, is there a favorite korean restaurant anyone can recommend? bbq place? good naengmyun place?

thanks, in advance!

    So jealous because I did NOT get tickets 😭

    Re: K-town, the OG Koreatown was in Albany Park. There are still Korean businesses there, restaurants, cafes, noraebangs, but most Koreans in the Chicago area live in the northern/northwestern suburbs now. Chinatown also has quite a lot of Korean businesses now. I would do some research on what sort of Korean stuff you actually want to do. For example, if you wanna do a jjimjilbang there is King Spa in Niles. Niles, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg areas have a good amount of Korean businesses in general.

      when they first were in the queue, they were in the 20,000+ places. so they checked back in the past couple days because immediately after it sold out, there were $2000 seats immediately resposted as 2nd market – a bunch of 6 tickets together which was the max allowed to purchase. so they were all bought up by BOTS!! why is this allowed???

      in japan, there’s a lottery, and one must have a japan address and one needs to show ID to verify their tickets upon entering, and they can’t sit together or is it they won’t know where they are sitting until later?… but they get to purchase the tickets at the original prices!

      ticketmaster is a total ripoff, and our country should regulate the scalper markets, it’s totally ridiculous!

i\’m on ep 4 of At the Moment a taiwanese series of separate stories of love during the pandemic. thus far, the stories are very relatable… worth a watch on Netflix.

seattle view, using slotted spoon & colander…

    Awesome! That’s a great photo. I didn’t even think of using a colander – how clever! It was mostly overcast here in my notoriously foggy city to the south of you, but it got quite dark outside at the peak and then finally the sun came out enough to use my eclipse glasses and see a roughly 70%-eclipsed disk. All the leafy tree shadows on my floor were little crescents. 😍

my gawd… 11:30pm and i\’m hearing thumping and music – it\’s thursday night here!! i write on my neighborhood FB page and someone says it\’s Beyonce\’s concert. i live 3 miles away from the venue!

    That’s wild!! I heard a while back that one of the Taylor Swift Eras concerts in the US caused a ‘mini-earthquake’ – the equivalent of a 2.3 or something magnitude quake. Wouldn’t be surprised if Queen Bey fans were out to break that record 😂

      i think so! i don’t recall hearing the beats and thumping from Taylor Swift’s concerts… same venue.

        And you said, yeah I caught part of it! 😆

        It’s finally cool enough here to have the windows open and tonight I heard a fireworks display nearby and now (10 pm) hear a crowd cheering, probably for some sports thing.

here we go again, ugly outfits. why must they make the FL wear podunk clothes?

    They’re completely intentional! Han Ji-min thought some of the choice were, uh, interesting too 😂 but the PD had a very clear idea of how he wanted Ye-bun to dress and dial up her quirk factor.

had to watch the first ep of ONE PIECE, to see Mackenyu
for those of us old enough to remember Sonny Chiba back in the 70s, he is the son of the renowned Japanese martial artist.

just finished My Perfect Stranger — loved it! was so surprised to see JinYoung, didn\’t know he was so tall – or Kim Dong Wook so… not-tall? the young ones are so tall these days…

    Kim Dong-Wook is not tall. But he had pretty tall costars with Jin Ki-Joo and Moon Ga-Young.

    Jin-Young is around 1m78, it’s not so tall.
