My DNA concert experience

[Jenna]

I have no idea if anyone will check this, but LSA is down, so I'm posting here. I might post it again over there. I have uploaded some content on my Instagram. There will be more to follow. My handle is @glitterbot_ and my profile will only be public temporarily.

 

- I managed to score two tickets on Saturday at the Honda Center, in section 220, row F, for $160 including the fee. I had no idea our seats were so close to the stage and was SHOOKINGTON when we got there. Later in the night, the girl seated next to us told me her tickets were upgraded from the floor to where we were. idk if our seats were resells or if the venue only made them available at the last minute.

 

- Saw Baylee and Leighanne like 10 feet away from us. Baylee is adorable. His voice is pretty good (not as good as Brian was at his peak, but still good). He needs to work on his stage presence or play an instrument. Leighanne does not look as bad or as scary in person as she does in photos. She was beaming. It's clear she's very proud of her son.

 

- BSB's set started about 30 mins after Baylee's. Their music began in the middle of a song that was playing before, very abruptly, and we all collectively lost our shit.

 

- Every guy came over to our side of the stage. AJ and I want to say Howie came over the least. Y'all know how I love me some AJ. When he announced that his wife was in the audience, I was like 😒. I think he would have been his usual sexy self had she not been there, but he seems a bit restrained. He made a comment pretty recently that he tends to get injured or something goes wrong when he strays from the choreography, so I am trying to be understanding, but I am lowkey salty. Slang your dick in my direction, plz! He jumped off the stage and went into the audience at one point. I got some footage of him dancing on the main stage by himself during the LTL breakdown. I freaked out a little when he came over to us. I was filming but my phone went off to the side instead of staying on him. Oh well. I feel like he was singing to his wife during DWLYN.

 

- I feel we were very noticeable because my hair is bright red & magenta. The lights were shining directly onto us.

 

- Brian and Kevin each spent a significant amount of time on our side. Brian seemed to look over at us with slight recognition and some confusion. Like he was a bit stunned? Not sure what that was about. Maybe it was due to the fact that we were both like 😑 when we saw him. I also turned to look at my friend for her reaction. He came back and did his usual waving and goofing off. I have never met any of the guys, but my friend has done meet and greets with Nick twice. Kevin was his usual self and it seemed like he was checking to see if we knew the song during GAB. He threw his towel to a fan in the pit. #KANG

 

- Nick truly werqed the stage. He has gotten so much better at audience interactions. He smiled a lot, pointed at my friend, lingered for a moment, then briefly pointed and smiled at me/in my general direction before turning around and going back to the main area of the stage.

 

- Howie was a cheesefest as usual. He also gave us a weird look at first, wtf? Love him though.

 

- I screamed like a little girl when AJ did his intro from TTWILI, because I thought GAB was starting. 💀

 

- Overall, the show was incredible. We're considering either going on their next cruise or going to Vegas for their next residency after the tour is over.

 

- At the very end, they were all grinning ear to ear. It was beautiful and touching to see. I believe they still love to perform and want to stick around for their fans. At least they did in that moment.
