Once upon a time, I was waiting for a concert to start. It was a general admission concert, which means you have to stand people that either smell, scream really loud, sing awfully, or you want to punch. It sucks, but you just have to deal with it because you know the concert will be worth it. And here is how this specific evening played out...
Me: (thinking) Ok cool, we're not by any crazy people this time!
Crazy Lady - who I'm sure is a great person: (talking to her kids around her and anybody that would pay attention to her) Guys, I am so excited for this opening band! I don't even care about the main people, I'm only here for them!! And their album was just released on iTunes today so that's all I've been listening to!!!
Me: (thinking) And... I was wrong.
Crazy Lady: This is going to be the best concert ever!! As soon as they are finished I am going to run to the tables in the back so I can meet them and get a picture with them, this is going to be so amazing!
Me: so unamused right now.
Crazy Lady: (while walking in front of me) Hey, sorry, I am just obsessed with Graffiti6...
Me: (thinking) oh that's who the opening band is going to be...
Crazy Lady continued: and as soon as they are finished I'll get out of your way they are just my favorite band ever!
Me: Yeah, sure that's fine.
-band is announced, comes on stage, and one of the guys starts playing guitar-
Crazy Lady: (interpretive dancing all over the place.)
Me: (whispering to my friend) Let this be over.
-the first song gets started-
Me: (staying chill, but no longer judging the crazy lady) (thinking) this is the best band I ever have been or will be going to.
Formerly Percieved Crazy Lady: (belting all of the songs and yelling how much she loves them.)
Me: (in shock of how much I instantly love them, also now enjoying the lady's interpretive dancing because it was ridiculous.)
Moral of the story:
-Even though standing in a crowd of people for hours isn't the greatest thing ever, it's worth it when the band is amazing.
-I have never just stood there with no emotion on my face for that amount of time, but enjoying myself 100% at the same time.
-Sometimes Formerly Percieved Crazy Ladies can have great taste in music.
-Graffiti6 may or may not have been all I listened to straight for the following month.
Even though this is a super strange music video... the music is great.
