A.C.E. and Viviz
So I've been away for a bit lol. I went on a holiday and though it wasn't intended to be a kpop trip, tour dates starting dropping and I realised I could catch quite a few shows, including these two.
A.C.E. - 13 July, The Fillmore, Detroit
I went to this A.C.E. show as did, oh, about 15 other friends from stan twt? LOL. I wouldn't call myself a huge fan, but I do like A.C.E. and I was really glad to be able to see this show with friends.
It's a simple and straightforward show, a tight 90-odd minutes with very minimal costume changes and no backgrounds or VCRs. I was quite close but at an angle where I couldn't see any floorwork, and this was also one of the shows that Yuchan unfortunately had to skip because of health issues, but for all that it was still a really fun show. They are all charming and great performers and they had good rapport with each other and the crowd.
Sometimes it's as simple as that - let performers perform.
I don't know if I have an A.C.E. bias yet. Sometimes you walk out of a show going "ok that one" but I didn't have such a strong feeling after this show, and I feel any opinion needs to be asterisked since I didn't get to see Yuchan. However - preliminary and tentative bias finding is Sehyoon. I found his classic 90s boyband vibes charming.

Story
Viviz - 17 July, Temple Performing Arts Center, Philadelphia
This venue was quite small but there was a good turnout. The seating was free range and the early entrance fans were down the front, but even showing up just half an hour before the show I got a good aisle seat with a good view. Some sweet fans came around to give out stickers and I get a kitty SinB!
The show was very fun! Like A.C.E. this too was a very simple show with no VCRs or video backgrounds. The show works because they are so charming and they have such confidence - they're all idol veterans really and it shows in their easy command of the stage. The crowd went wild for Maniac of course, but I really enjoyed every song.
They had a break in the middle for a game ment, drawing random question and challenges from a gumball machine. SinB did the cat on a frozen river challenge and Eunha called her a kitty! Eunha made up a fan hand sign so that Viviz fans could find each other in public lol. Umji covered several point dances. They did a few other things, all cute, very charming.
I bought a ticket to this show rather impulsively - had to shuffle my travel plans around a little - but I'm really glad I went.
