still on that epik high.
2009-05-21 01:36 pmEpik Movement
House of Blues, Hollywood - May 16th

Day of the show:
ot in around 8 something and headed toward a spot that looked closest to the front. After a while...people were already packing in and pushing their way to the front. Ok, I admit I was doing that too...but it just got way out of hand. I just kept looking at my friend and we were like.."OMG...can't breathe." The person on my left, right, and back were totally like...full body contact. x_x. The host DJ Dumfound(?) was cool. He did a little perf. pretty good~ but dude.. I seriously COULD NOT enjoy FM's performance at all. I'm so sad...and it's been so long since I've got to see them perform live. I was seriously stuck between the pushing and shoving...almost falling at one part. GAHH. FM's set was awesome though -- year 3008! :D All I could really remember was "Millionaire" and "Girls on the Dance Floor". The Stereotypes and Wongfu's Phil and Wes were there to support. ^^
Kero One was next. He's really good, but his portion of the show slowed everything down a bit. I'm not too familiar with his songs but...it was chill.
And then of course, EPIK HIGH, MYK, and Beatbox DG came out. It was amazing~ I didn't have my camera with me since I didn't think they would allow it so I just used my handy dandy phone to take pics and vids. Surprisingly they came out pretty well. I thought the audio was gonna be all jacked up...but I'm satified. :D
Here's just a few of the videos I took~
Believe
One
One Minute, One Second (Tablo)
And my favorite fancam of the night -- Fan
Some pictures~





.
The show was amazing and was worth all the bruising. lol. I can't stop listening to them now...ahh. ;D
Day of the Fan Signing:
Got there a little late but was able to meet up with everyone that was already in line. The Verizon Wireless people got people to play games for different prizes like..a signed T-shirt. It was...interesting..haha. But dude, waiting there...in the sun...not moving...it was so hot. Everyone was practically melting. Then at around 1:30ish? We see a white van pull up and -- TADA. EPIK HIGH HAD ARRIVED!!! They each came out one by one. I think it was Mithra first? and then DJ Tukutz (who wave with move hands looking like a Beatle lol), and then Tablo followed by MYK. By that time, we were feeling a little bit better knowing that it would be our turn soon.
They played various Epik High songs, BoA songs, and then they even played FM's "Girls on the Dance Floor". Anyways, when it was our turn, we got into groups of 3-4 to go in at a time. So once your group is called, you line up against the wall and we were next. No one wanted to go first so Jenny just told me to go first (dkjfl..lol). So I agreed and while waiting there..I suddenly got really nervous. I have admit, I went to the fan signing all carefree..just expecting to get a signed poster and be done with it. I didn't have anything for them to sign anyways ;X
Watching them through the window...heart beating... XD

Right before it was our turn to go in, I saw that Epik High asked for them to take a 5min break so...we waited some more and then the security guy told us to go in. So, I walk in slowly and Tablo wasn't really paying attention so then DJ Tukutz reaches his hand out for the piece of paper with my name "Tiff Yama" on it. And then Tablo goes "Tiff Yama! Tiff Yama! "Yama" means uhh...in Korean we say "yama ita" in Korean, that means like...chotago...which means AWESOME." And omg...I was freaking out while I was listening to him and he was looking at me while saying all of that. I could have just dropped dead...because TABLO WAS TALKING TO ME. LOL. I didn't expect that at all~ wahhh. I didn't realized that Mithra and DJ Tukutz were joining in on Tablo's little speal soo...just watch the video. ;D (My friend Monica is so awesome (YAMA) for getting this all on videooo)
(0:04-0:23) & then 1:36 - my handshake with Tablo ;D
CLICK TO VIEW
So yeahh~ I wanted to say some stuff like "Good job at the show last night" or something to that effect but Tablo's thing totally threw me off...but it's ok. I just smiled (but in my head was jumping and spazzing like crazy...lol). I like how Tablo remember Jenny from the airport (she was on the same flight as them with Kero-One and FM!!!). That girl even got a picture with Tablo and then one with Tukutz. XDD And the Tablo's "Oh Tabusha~" loll~. I love how Monica can be so calm when it comes to meeting kpop stars~ I just become speechless. XD LOL at "You're a genius!" to Tukutz -- his reaction...gah so cuteee! XD
SHOUTOUT TO FM BAY AREA STREET TEAM
When Tablo was explaining what YAMA meant ♥♥ which gives me a while new meaning to my name~

Passing it down~ DJ Tukutz is a cutie. ;DD

MYK signed it last and that's when I finally decided to say something so I just told him thank you. lol. I saw that Monica asked for a hug from Tablo but he said if we hugged her, he'd have to hug everyone so...we all got handshakes. ;D The security guys were guiding me towards the exit but then I asked if we could take a picture with Epik High and MYK soo~

Then it was the last group's turn to go. Justine had a picture of her with Epik High from HB 07 and Tablo was like "Oh, this is when Mithra was all military" LOL. Oh Tablo.
After that, there was a fast Japanese restaurant next door so we all went there and then spazzed about what had just happened. I couldn't stop thinking about it...LOL and everyone could tell that I was spazzing. XD I told them what happened and then Monica said she had it all on video and I spazzed even more (mind you..I tend to keep my spazzing to myslef/low key...but this was definitely something to let loose! LOL)
When everyone was finished eating, we decided to go back to see if they were done signing and they were. All of them were infront of the store, taking pictures for something?


Their white van then pulled up and it was time to say goodbye. I love Tukutz's little "bye!" voice. XD Tablo was handed a "4C the Power" pamphelet so maybe someday, they can participate and work with them. ^^ EPIK MOVEMENTT~ Mithra was smiling and beatboxing to himself while passing~ it was cute. ^^
I saw Tablo do a peace sign with a little smirk but I didn't catch it on my camera...but it was definitely focused towards Jenny, his boo. lol. She has proof (and the effects kill me~ hahaha XD)
Anyways, my whole EPIK HIGH experience will be something that I will remember forever. TABLO~ look what you've done to me!!! I can't stop thinking about you and your words. Kang Hye Jung is so lucky to have someone like you in her life. ♥ EPIK HIGH~ I have so much respect for you guys and I hope that after the "Map the Soul" tour, you guys will become even more successful. I really REALLY wanna buy their album + Tablo's book but I'm so broke right now~ gahh...lol. TABLOOOO ♥
My signed poster~






I was having a really bad say Friday so I think karma was just on my side that weekend. I'm so excited for those going to the NYC show tomorrow night and then those that will be going to the Seattle show too!! Epik High -- you guys have made such an impact in my life. Hope to see them again some day. ^^
