Because security locked the gate and that was the only way of getting to her lol

That wasn't my arm Lana is grabbing haha I'm taking the picture its someone behind me she was like not today grab hahaha

Sunday was amazing. I woke up at like 6am and got a train to Dublin checked into my hotel and headed straight to Vicar Street. Luckly I wasn't alone as when I arrived there was 6 other fans waiting. I got my number which was number 7. I then awkwardly sat on the ground and made friends with the people around me. We were like a team because we held each others spots and had a laugh. At around five or half five all of a sudden I see a silver mini van pull into the back of the venue and then the gates closed. I knew straight away it was her because it was the first car to pull in to the back of the venue and there is only room for one car at the back of the venue so we ran and sure enough it was Lana and she got out of the car and came straight over the the fans. She signed autographs and took pictures behind a tiny gap in the gate (see picture below). It was awkward I slided my Paradise Boxset through the gap and she grabbed it and signed it we were so so happy and so pumped for the concert. We ran back to the line still had our spots of course and we were all showing off our signed stuff and pictures and basically freaking out. I didn't have time to get a picture because people began pushing but I was happy because I knew I had a shot to properly meet her because I would be front row. At around six security came out to the door and behind them was Lanas dad and a worker at Vicar Street each had a bag full of merchandise. Lana's dad said that she was so happy that everyone was here so early and that she had gifts of us. Then the pushing began but luckly he handed me another Paradise Boxset which was amazing! He handed out one lyric book which I really wanted but didn't get Also handed out was The Great Gatsby book, Walt Whitman books and Lolita book. He posed for pictures and went back inside. We were even more pumped if that was even possible, everyone I was with got something so we were all over the moon. Doors opened at seven. The security didn't even check my bag we ran in even though security told us not to haha I lost the people I was with but I got the the front row at the right of the stage. Waited until eight and then Kassidy started for the first song Barrie's mic wasn't really working it was odd but they were brilliant. Just before the last song Barrie started singing Born To Die and everyone went nuts it was great. Then nine came and she came on stage my jaw dropped she looks way way way more beautiful in person. She went straight out near the crowd and someone threw there panties at her she picked them up and twirled them around her finger she started laughing. She then went down to the left of the stage but she was kinda grabbed by fans there and she didn't go down the whole way. She came back up and told us that she should have had this recorded because the venue was small and would be great for it. After about four songs she went over to the side of the stage and got more books and brought them down and gave them to the left side of the stage. She then carried on singing. The whole crowd were singing the lyrics with her on every song. Then this happened She started to cry because the crowd screamed for about 5 minutes she was so overwhelmed it was amazing. Then last song National Anthem she ended it and walked straight down to the right and started taking pictures when she got to me she thanked me for coming and I asked her for a picture and she said sure and then I took and she held my hand and I said thank you so much and she smiled then she moved on I was fucking shaking. I got squashed against the barrier but it was worth it ( I still feel black and blue). Then yesterday I wanted to get my tour book signed as well as well my Great Gatsby CD and I arrived at Vicar Street at like half four and waited for her to arrive and yet again I met her and she signed my stuff. It was bad though because the paparazzi started pushing people and Lana was getting mad at them. I will add pictures of the concert later maybe.

On the way in basically the hall of the venue.

The Merchandise is really odd because its different at each concert there's always something new lol

I know its probably been asked so many times by now but what things are signed at the merchandise booth?

I didn't know you could buy the merchandise after concerts? would stuff be sold out though?

I really don't get it, why would their be a safe of jewels at Cannes?

Yay finally!

10 for perfection!

Damn its very expensive. I'm totally getting the tour book and I might see what else I like when I get there.

Been listening to her for awhile now shes great!
