I was really bummed last year when I got Covid and had to cancel my trip to Chicago to see Dreamcatcher a 2nd time. Then this year I did not budget for any long trips so I skipped many big groups.

But they recently announced a short tour and Cincinnati is one of 3 stops right before my birthday. My first major KPop concert right across the river is one of my first favorites. It feels strange to see fans asking for advice planning their trip here instead of me traveling away.

They are also playing The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and I thought that’s an interesting global fusion of a famous country venue and KPop rock, so I grabbed a ticket for that too because it seemed like a unique chance.
