Charli XCX

I’m on my way to see Charli XCX at the Barclays Center right now. I’ve seen Charli XCX before, when I was a wee little lad. She opened for Taylor Swift way back in the day. Violet asked me if I wanted to go, and I thought, why the fuck not! It’s not necessarily my favorite kind of music, but I enjoy a good show. I think experiencing what’s hip and happening is a good way to make conversation. I feel like a fifty-year-old! I can’t imagine my dad going to this concert. That would be fucking hilarious. It is the exact opposite of what he would like. I think my mom (as always) would ball out here. When I got to school, I thought I would go to shows at Madison Square Garden all the time. It’s only a few blocks away and so convenient. I learned very quickly that Madison Square Garden shows are not financially viable for me. I think this is the fifth time I have gone to the Barclays Center. I quite enjoy it. It gives me a reason to see Brooklyn and pretend like I’m a multi-borough kind of guy. I’m so Manhattan or die, it’s not funny. Last time I saw Charli XCX, I was with my family. Now I have a beautiful date! How the times change! They didn’t believe in us, but God did! It’s pretty easy to get to the Barclays Center. Hop on the one train, transfer to the two train, and ride it all the way there. I used to think it took an hour, but it’s only twenty-five minutes (ish). We caught two incoming trains, so no wait. I’m going to try and enjoy my night out. Okay, fast forward three hours since I wrote that bit. What a show! Oh my god, the energy in that arena! She is such a fantastic performer. 10/10! Wow! Wow! Wow! I have tomorrow off, so I can relax. I have so much fucking work to do. See you all Friday! Happy Wednesday, everyone!
