humantalesA while back, Goofy won a "Night on the Town" thing from his work; this equates to a gift card intended to be used for a night out for he and I. We finally decided to use it on the Taylor Swift concert he's been wanting to go to. Not really my thing, but he's been indulging me quite a bit lately and I enjoy her music.
Tonight was the night. I had a new temporary crown this morning (my dentist believes in painless dentistry, and I amuse her by getting high as a kite on the nitrous), we puttered a bit and then we went to the show.
First, I enjoyed myself. Not what I would have chosen, but I had a good time, danced to (some of) the music, and if I didn't leave high, I also didn't leave let-down.
However, I'm clearly getting old. I couldn't understand any of the lyrics by anyone, except for the bits of songs I actually know. (It sounded to me like the volume on the instruments was higher than the volume on the voices, plus the amplification distorted the voices enough that I couldn't understand them.) Also, when I pay for a seat, I want to sit in it. For a pop singer with an audience of mostly (very) young women, that wasn't happening.
It was an entertaining show. It wasn't just live music, it was a full show with a complement of dancers, who also performed up in the air on those fabric trapeze things (not in the mood to go Googling/Wikipeding), an elaborate stage, multiple costume changes, etc, etc. Lots and lots of energy.
And now I'm tired and I'm going to finish winding down for sleep. (Andmaxgoof296 did blog tonight; I missed it the first time around.)
Good night all.
