So the day started off with me and Lynette meeting up and getting the train which was going from waterloo to Royal Victoria on the DLR (Docklands light railway) getting the underground to Canary Wharf's underground station which we actually got off at the wrong stop ( we did get some great scenery for our experience video!) In the end we found ourselves at the Docklands light railway and on the cable cars which took us over the river overlooking the 02 arena and business buildings including Canary Wharf. When we landed we walked up to the 02 in awe and went to get a Nandos before the show started.
This was the first time we were ever exposed to the Dolan fandom in real life and funnily enough we got to experience both sides. When people say a fandom is like a family we mean a family a mixture of different people all together all with different personalities. Different personalities when talking to new people. When we were queuing up we met 5 lovely girls whom we started to talk to but as the day got darker and colder we all were waiting in anticipation.
It was finally time, after we passed security we ran into the indigo and were greeted by the glow of purple lights and a mixture of songs by artists like the Jonas brothers and KCAMP, which was like our own greeting from the twins, soon the lights went down and the opening video started to play on the screen and all of a sudden the twins burst out from behind the stage and the crowd erupted with screams and excitement, the twins greeted us all- AND GUESS WHAT SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO END UP WITH PICTURES OF THE TWINS DIRECTLY LOOKING AT ME WHICH GOT ME SO SHOOK (I’M SO PUTTING THEM IN), the show was SO LIT! Ethan and Grayson really know how to put on a show they are two of the craziest, cutest humans ever (PRO FANGIRL MOMENT) when the show ended I could not contain the smile on my face and the adrenaline running through my body. We went into Starbucks and sat down to recall what had just happened but I couldn’t speak the only expression to show was a smile. Legit no joke as Lynette she'll tell you that I had the biggest smile on my face and said OHMYGOD about 50 million times (When I fangirl, I fangirl hardcore that's the only way to go am I right?!)
We didn't get meet and greet tickets which got sold out but it was ok. That was what made this experience our own. The name of the tour is called “4ou” ,For only you, and this point in time was for me only. A build up of appreciation from all the events that we had created throughout the day : Getting lost in Canary Warf, becoming even closer with each other by having a deep conversation in Nandos and not being afraid to stand out. We had created as a big group of people an experience that we will all treasure for the rest of our lives . That was my 4ou experience on the 24/ 08/ 16. One of the main things me and Lynette both learnt was, to make sure what stop on the train to get off next time (even if it means seeing part of London we had never seen before!!)
