THE MAINE . The Sweet Sixteen Tour (Day 1)

 September 27, 2024

I'm typing this a month late already that I somehow still remember it or I totally forgot so whatever will be written. Lol 

The moment that The Maine Sweet Sixteen Tour in Manila was announced, I knew that I shouldn't missed it for my life. The 2022 show changed me and since then I knew that I will never missed a The Maine concert again also Skydome is a game changer. 

I only dream of those concert like in the US where it will be on a small venue then everyone will hangout after and because of small venue the experience is different compare on being in a bigger venue. Also, 2 days with The Maine? Even it somehow a little bit conflict on schedule, I will make it work. Never in my concert life that I experince a back-to-back concert.

Scored the ticket on the pre-sale date with the code that was shared by a friend. 

I’m not really a north person but I’m a little familiar with the area as long as EDSA is visible. Lol 

I booked a room at Hop Inn just a few steps away from the LRT Station for a cheap price and if only not because of my busy schedule that time I’m so willing to stay the whole weekend. 

I arrived at the hotel 3PM and rested for a bit thankful that somehow local TV channel have a basketball all day long so even without Netflix or Youtube on the TV I’m good with basketball. So weird to be staying at a hotel by myself but I needed that me-time moment.  

Left the hotel at almost 5PM just to have an early dinner before lining up. I still wanted to be on barricade but there are just really people or groups that are willing to line up early morning and I can't do that. Lol 

Doors opened at 6PM and show will start at 8PM. Waiting time is not fun but I got lots of patience anyway. I also have a goal of searching friends even I’m really not sure if I will see them but I'm confident that I will. Lol 

I was on my way to Skydome and I already spotted Micaella and I was too shy to approach her since she got company but I approached her after the show. So good to see her after a year since You Me at Six show. 

Even I do go on these show alone, I still end up having fun anyways. 

My only worry really are tall guys but good thing somehow they are at my side but the huge problem was there are really people who are committed to record the whole show. John is really pissed with people end up just having their phones up for the whole thing. I have tons of video too but not the whole thing. 

The show was so good that I end up jumping and joining that crowd for most of it.

If you ever attended any show of The Maine, for sure it will always be one of the best shows.
