Dan & Phil Part 70: giving the people what they want

[blackdenim]

the brighton venue updated the show page with times!

Does anyone who went VIP last time know if it's completely necessary to arrive as early as 4pm? I don't want to be queing for hours, to be honest!

[simmehchan]

Ugh, not really a fan of the merch - to be honest I find the whole introvert branding really cringey but it's just personal opinion really. Guess I'm just buying the plushies.

i wasn’t around for tatinof but i just had m&g for niall horan and all vip experiences are similar, so i’m guessing 4pm is when vip check-in starts and they’ll probably stop checking in people around when vip begins at 4:45pm. with niall, check-in began at 3pm and ended at 3:45pm, no excuses. it’ll probably be the same so i do think you’ll need to get there around 4pm.

Thanks! WIll aim for 4.30 in that case. I don't really mind being at the back of the queue!

Oh, that dog filter makes them look so fricking cute. And Dan said "ass" on Phil's insta, well done, cheeky boy. I totally missed that one last night, saw people tweeting with the hashtag and it was so late, I didn't think more of it. I don't know many current songs, just love All Star enough that their teasing with it amuses me. Starts tomorrow!

Hm, reminds me of my dad who also always has three different drinks along with his huge breakfast at hotels

Bitter rant about the TBC dates under the cut

Would it kill them to give us any news about the TBC dates? Like, are they still on? Are they cancelled? I mean, they never mention them anymore and didn't put them on the tour t-shirt, so

If the TBC dates end up happening are they going to make new t-shirts or are they going to try and get us to buy t-shirts that don't even have our tour dates on them?

I guess I'm salty because I saved up the money to buy tickets on Christmas/ New Years (when they said they would go on sale), but it's April now and I spent part of that money so now I don't even now if I'll be able to afford it even if they do come.

Ah yes, I saw some people talking about the TBC dates on Twitter earlier and I understand your frustration, even though I don't live in the remaining TBC areas. I'm still a bit annoyed about the fact that they first said they'd go on sale around Christmas, then late January, then mid-February and now we're already at the end of April, the tour is starting tomorrow and we're still none the wiser about Montreal, Brazil and Mexico. I also don't appreciate the fact that they ignored every messages regarding this issue during their last live show and are keeping people waiting for confirmation like this. I know they're trying their best and they seem to be having trouble but I wish they hadn't promised them so soon and hadn't sounded so sure of themselves when talking about going to these places (especially Dan). Anyway, I really hope they'll be able to go and announce the dates soon!

as a resident of A Far Flung Place i have empathy for the TBC date sufferers. i understand their hands may be tied, and they also don't want to disappoint people unnecessarily if things change, but even a little transparency acknowledging a situation goes a long way in performer/audience relationships.

i don't remember who said it now, i'm sorry, but i'm enjoying knowing what they're doing day-to-day immensely. they're pretty low social media users compared to other creator types usually. recording their reaction to the stage set has been my fav so far, no hint of playing it cool or irony just genuine excitement. i want some dapgo, 7 sec challenge touch the wall style sitting-around-backstage-being-bored content when they get onto the road and into the groove.

Remember you can watch them back here compiled day-by-day by our very own @catallena, if you don't wanna rifle through them individually online! they have their own forum thread, and are going up on the IDB Youtube. (subscribe! cough...)

Any idea what that bit of copper might be in his suitcase? Expensive skin care product? Scented candle? Exotic lube?

glad i'm not the only one who had lubegate flashbacks this week *rocks back and forth*

question 1: has anyone analysed whether the tour shirt they went with for dan is different to the Hello Nips one? it looks to be, but i can't quite tell. i wanted nips

question 2: where is this set up in? a dungeon? do these girls have their hands down their pants? are they emulating their employer?

for question 1: the shirt is definitely different, it's got a different neckline.

for question 2: Dungeon guess isn't far off. It's a nightclub at night, according to this question on their website:

Are dogs allowed?
Sure! We love dogs. Camden Market is busy, but dog-friendly. Hideout is a nightclub in the evenings, so best not to bring your dogs inside at the Brighton venue! There is space out front to rest and play by the sea.

Bad Boy - Red Velvet

Red Velvet on the playlist just like during TATINOF? Dan and Phil coming through for girl group stans yet again!

[relatablemood]

Sorry to be a bother but do non-VIP people arrive at 1pm for the 2pm show? Or do they need to be early too?

[flarequake]

Ooh, looks very funky in a vaguely-hardcore kind of way. The marbly tshirt looks darker, can't really tell for sure how much the lighting it affecting it, though. I'll probably take a trip once it's in London, from the dates not overlapping, I'm guessing it'll be the same staff and everything.

Non-VIP people don't need to be so early, 1pm would be fine.

Also, has Phil got tea and apple juice there along with his coffee? I'm guessing this was this morning? The third drink reminds me of whisky otherwise.

doors at 1pm means that doors open at 1pm aka you can start entering the venue at 1pm. you don’t have to get there at doors as long as you’re there before the show starts at 2pm.

See I didn't think that was tea as it's in a glass but what else would it be?

[autumnhearth]

I assumed the third was apple juice, it’s the middle that is tripping me up. It looks a bit like eggnog, but I’m guessing either a nice rich milk like Guernsey or a banana smoothie.

[phantastically-avg]

I agree it’s more likely some milk heavy product - it’s way to white to be normal tea.

Also Dan just posted a new insta story about Phil being a mucky pup and getting something on his shirt.

[alittledizzy]

[obvsly]

L.. Let's just say milk wasn't the first thing that came to my mind.

I just keep watching it wondering if I'm totally misunderstanding that they're both acknowledging what that totally looks like?? Or am I projecting a dirty mind onto them... lmao

I mean, Dan did comment, "Isn't that convenient?" It's at least heavily implied, isn't it?

[Catallena]

Yeah that looks... like something. And they know it

I thought his drink was milk but he's lactose intolerant. Maybe it's soya milk (or another alternative) for his cereal and it was put in the cup for room service but they have no room service?

Re shirt: You all have dirty minds I didn't even go there

[alittledizzy]

How many people here are going to a Brighton show?

"It looks worse than it is..." 100% acknowledging it. I'm cackling.

That’s the only thing that made me pause too. It could be soya or almond milk or similar but I can’t think what else it it would be looking like that if not milk of some kind. Maybe that’ll be the mystery for tumblr tonight.

Also yes, my mind when too certain place like everyone else after seeing his shirt.
