GLOBAL GATHERING!!

The second last weekend of September is going down in the history books!! A bunch of us headed to Seoul for the weekend to attend the last outdoor festival of the year, Global Gathering. This is a giant outdoor festival with DJ's and the like, that started in the UK and has, well, gone global. Since it was all the way in Seoul and most of us were attending Friday and Saturday night we decided to get a pension in Seoul, so we could crash there and store our stuff.
Nick, Duncan and Chris decided to buy matching outfits for the festival and let me just say, AWESOME! Carolina, Bianca, Erika and I represented the girls. Chris and I at Global Gathering. Carolina, Bianca and I found a tent where we could dress up and take ridiculous pictures, so we did just that. Carolina and Bianca are loving Global Gathering, or it's the beer?!?! Nick spreading a little bit of the Nick loving. It was that time of the night, or should I say morning where crazy stuff happens...LOL!!
Friday night was awesome, we got to see The Prodigy perform and DJ Pendulum, both of which were great shows. We didn't end up getting back to the pension until the wee hours of the morning and we had to be up Saturday to do it all over again. I ended up leaving the pension without the others because I was going to meet Lindsay to have lunch in Hongdae together and then head to Global Gathering early, so we could chill out and catch G-Dragon and 2NE1 perform.
Lindsay enjoying her strawberry margarita at Dos Tacos pre-Global Gathering. I too enjoyed a delicious raspberry margarita. The fashion in Korea can sometimes be a bit to be desired. This is one of those times when she (girl in pink) should have looked in the mirror and been like, "Hey, I look like my grandma!" and then changed. Lindsay and I excited for G.D. and 2NE1 to perform. May and I put on our sexy while we wait for G.D. and 2NE1. FINALLY. G-Dragon takes the stage, he is from my Korean pop group Big Bang, but he is my least favorite member. However, his solo album is pretty good and his live performance was as well.
Check out the short video I took below of him performing his first single, Heartbreaker.
2NE1 is who I was most excited to see perform and they didn't disappoint me in their performance. They are fabulous and by far the best female group in Korea. they can sing and dance.
2NE1 chatting with their fans at Global Gathering!!
The rest of the night was spent watching DJ's from all over Europe perform, meeting random people and drinking and dancing with friends.
The original Global Gathering gang manage to get a pretty great group shot :)
