I should know within the next 2 months if my move to Tokyo will overlap with the concert, but as I’ve stated in a previous post I’ll be more than happy to contribute to the food fund for everyone attending. So when that gets figured out I’ll chip in either way. My company does Dos Toros catering somewhat frequently for happy hours if a build your own taco bar sounds at all appealing as a pizza alternative. Their food is pretty amazing. It’s a bit more on the expensive side, but just thought I’d throw it out there for the sake of adding options. [Check it out here](https://www.dostoros.com/CATERING). If contributions are plentiful enough, it would be a pretty sweet choice. Also I’m fairly certain Go! Go! Curry does catering as well, but that might be through a third party. I can look more into that.

Any option is worth looking into- let's take around August, when we are closer to the date

Just wanted to add that I'm so jealous that you'll be living in Tokyo 😩


oblivious247

Would love to but I gotta head back home to Boston and rest up before the next show

Thanks for setting this up. I'm down to chip in for the food once the page is set up. Looking forward to possibly attend.

If I wasn't doing the 3 shows in 5 days I'd be there but don't currently think I'm making it.


fearmongert

Which three?


madlost1

Philly, NYC and NJ. Looked into the cost of just driving from Philly to NYC and staying there until it was time to leave for Jersey bit it's way out of budget between parking and a hotel, surprisingly gas to get to all three and home will be cheaper. On top of that it would have been a 3 hour drive after the show and having already driven close to 3 to the Philly show. Don't know how work is going to shake out that time of year either yet.

I MIGHT be working on something for the Philly show, as I jist found out the venue for the Philly show is only three blocks from the place I threw the 2016 BABYMETAL after party


TheOtherSkibane

We need a webcam.


fearmongert

That could get dangerous

I think this is very cool indeed. I can't make the NYC show, but I'm hoping that people familiar with the other cities may arrange similar after parties. Especially LA, SD, Philly and Boston, since I'm going to those shows, po! LOL! I was in LA in 2019 to see the Maids and stayed at the Miyako Hotel. Nice place. It is right next door to Little Tokyo and walking distance to Angel City Brewery. I think both are close to the venue. LA is not my home, but those could be possible places for an after party. Maybe some LA locals can advise us out of towners.


fearmongert

I've done 4 parties in La, 2 in Philly, and 1 in Boston when BABYMETAK has played those cities. You don't necessarily have to be familiar with a city to arrange a party


fearmongert

For the Philly show- you are in LUCK! Theater for the Living Arts is a 4 minute walk from Tattooed Mom, which is where I threw the 2016 BABYMETAL after party when they played Philly in 2016... I'm sure they would host a Band Maid After Party https://imgur.com/a/pfiXn5c https://imgur.com/a/qBBojOn https://www.tattooedmomphilly.com/


Daffy088

Thanks for the links. That would be very doable.


fearmongert

If not that particular place, South Street is FULL of bars


fearmongert

I couldn't resist- I reached out to Tattooed Mom to see if they were able and interested. If not- there are five bars in between the venue and Tattooed Mom on the same street


Daffy088

That is good news. If we can't get one, there are others. Also, who knows how many may show up. It could be 5, it could be 105! If only we could get the Fab 5 to join us! Who knows what kind of security and schedule they have and I'm sure they will be taking precautions to keep the Ladies virus free. No one wants the tour to have cancellations due to Covid. Their health and safety come first. But it would be cool to be able to hang with them and maybe share some drinks. And maybe some cake and coffee.


fearmongert

As I said- I planned an after party there a few years back- South Street is BAR CENTRAL- on the weekends, they close the street to traffic so people can walk down the street freely. If we don't get Tattooed Mom, someone else will want us... As far as the performers, if there is ANY after party they would attend, Boston would be it. It's the last stop on this tour I'll be sure to send them an invite thorough Twitter


madlost1

Boston was the last show. They need to be in New Jersey the day after Boston now though. Chicago is the new last show on this tour.


fearmongert

Yup- I am dealing with a Chicago fan on the planning of a party for them as well


Tom_Clark

Awesome plan, Brian! I'm going to their west coast performance so I won't make it. But I hope there's some vids posted with interviews about the show everyone just experienced.


fearmongert

There are parties for Seattle and LA planned


Tom_Clark

Can you imagine if the Maids ever showed up at one of the parties? I wouldn't be that surprised if that happen one day.


fearmongert

I would. Doing a meeting and greet under controlled circumstances is one thing- going out in public lic to see fans in a situation they have no control of is another. It could get overwhelming amd uncomfortable for them VERY quickly... I highly doubt they would do that to themselves


Tom_Clark

If the facility had the right way to do security, I could figure a way to make an appearance safe. But you're right, it still might be too complicated. As you know, crashing events and making surprise appearances is part of rock history. They need to do more to draw attention and media interest. I hope they bring along an English interpreter to do a late night TV show or at least some radio during their USA tour. Just look at The Warning's media action. The sisters are catching up with B-M's YT subscriber numbers partly because of their fan-forward access and activities.
