~:[CH8 - Day 230]:~ In the Spotlight

At the last minute, I decided to pop into KCon and catch a few shots and to stroll around all the booths that were available. I wanted to check out what Day6 merch they had, which was more than the last time I went, and also just to see if I ran into anyone. When stopping at the Toyota booth, Holland came on stage to greet his fans. He had such great excitement to be on stage and almost left after the first round of fan meets. He seems like such a genuine person and you always wish for success for these types of people. After doing my round at KCon, I hustled over to Culver City and caught a screening of Blinded by the Light hosted by the Shibutanis and Far East Movement. I realized I didn't have to rush, as I arrived early and had the theater to myself for a short period before people started to roll in. The movie addressed a number of issues that we face from racism to the divide between generational beliefs to the struggle with oneself. In the end, it was quite a moving film and while there were places where I felt there could be improvement (I won't go into detail to avoid any spoilers), it definitely was a powerful and impactful film. I would definitely encourage you to check it out. Today more than ever, you can see more of how these people we see as celebrities are also just people like you and me who are chasing their dreams and trying to find a way to get to where they want to go. For now, they can enjoy their moments in the spotlights and I only hope they all can continue to find their time to shine, much like I hope we all have our opportunities.
