So, I went to the Black Eyed Peas concert a couple of weeks ago. Before I even started asking people if they wanted to go with me, I was getting the "I don't like the Black Eyed Peas" vibe. That made me kind of nervous that I wouldn't have a date, but I stayed confident and threw it out there I was going until one of my friends (yay, Debbie!) admitted she liked them as well AND she wanted to go to the concert.
We feared we would be the oldest people there (not including parents taking their children), but it turns out there was nothing to fear. Not only were we not the oldest, we were also not the youngest. I also noticed a couple, where the boyfriend was definitely older than mine, and the girlfriend was SO MUCH younger than me. This is significant because it makes mine and my boyfriend's age difference seem really low. (And it only seems really high when I tell people how old he actually is. And how young I really am.). Anyway, that couple could have been father and daughter, but they were a little too cozy to be related, in my opinion.
On to the show ... HOW EXCITING! Well, after I had to sit through LMFAO (entertaining) and Ludacris (vulgar). I was THAT person - taking pictures constantly with my BlackBerry. They actually turned out pretty well. I don't think I've mentioned it here, but I have a HUGE crush on Taboo. He's got an interesting look, but when I actually fell in crush was when I was watching the Grammy nomination show and I saw him stand up and clap for the Jonas Brothers (and everyone else who performed, that I could tell). What a good sport! Now, the Jonas Brothers don't appeal to me, but I'm not a musician and I'm not a performer, so what do I really know?
Back to the show ... they played a LOT of songs, and the show was awesome. I think Debbie liked that they actually had instruments, as opposed to a record player. I also liked that instead of taking a break all together, they took turns doing some solo stuff - Fergie did some from her solo album, Will.I.Am did some DJ-ing, Taboo rode around in the air on a motorcycle, and Appl.De.App ... I forgot. I'm just getting to be familiar with his work and the show was a couple of weeks ago.
Maybe if I hadn't been trying to get a good picture the whole time, I would remember more. :)
They're the only show I've been to that I actually got up and danced a little. Very. Big. Deal.
They announced there would be an after party at 1120. I seriously considered going, until I got in the car, got Debbie dropped off, and realized the Space-man probably would not be up for joining me. And I realized it was about midnight and I wasn't up for driving the whole 2 miles there, parking, dealing with the club people, and fighting the sleepies. I opted for getting into bed and passing out, which worked out just fine.
By the way, do not waste your money on the big cup of frozen tropical drinks if you're drinking alcohol. They put the same amount in the small ones as the big ones. Ergo, the smaller ones have a higher alcohol ratio.
