TAYLOR SWIFT And The Summer Concert Series 2015

Have you seen Taylor's most recent video?  You must.  She is flawless.  And she recruited Scott Eastwood.

SCOTT. EASTWOOD.

Lawdt jezus it's a fire.

Did I never tell you about our concert experience?!  Oh my word.  My apologies.

Long story short, it was hands-down the best concert I have ever attended in my life.  We started with pretty awful seats for having paid almost $200 per ticket (this is why it was a life-experience... ) and we were on the opposite side of the stage, with an obstructed view.

She would have been a little dot

After the first couple of opening acts, I was forced by Kate because she wouldn't do it able to...erm... acquire not only FIELD tickets, but actual PIT access bands!  It was incredible.  We went from being on the other side of the zip code from her, to literally 5 yards away.

AND... guest performer LORDE!

It was incredible.

I can't wait to go see Taylor again.  I have really had to do some serious self-talk to avoid just going to see her anywhere on the East coast.  The struggle has been real.

I carried around the bracelets from Taylor's concert for a few weeks until they died.  Even Larry got down with the bracelets.  

I've gone to lots of concerts this year.  Of course, I saw the Great Bette Midler, Taylor Swift, Bryan Adams, and I've got Ed Sheeran is coming up soon.

I know that you are probably wondering where the update is regarding the Bryan Adams concert, since it was such a life-changing event, and you were probably expecting the entire story about how Bryan and I met and became best friends and how we are now happily-ever-texting relationship, but alas, my fate was thwarted.  

I spent most of August really sick, battling laryngitis and a terrible cough.  Lost my voice entirely for about a week, and had to work from home a lot.  I felt okay, I just couldn't, you know, breathe or talk.  I was okay as long as I didn't have to attempt to do anything except breathe normally and not speak.  Alas, it seems that even if you specifically tell people that you can't talk, they will still talk to you.  The conversation would go like this:  

Veronica: :: inaudible noises indicating that she has no voice ::
Colleague:: Oh, okay.  So what is the status update on the project with Roger?
Veronica: 

Seriously, just send me an e-mail.  In fact, let's go ahead and make that a best practice.

This means that at the Bryan Adams concert I went to at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, (Please let it be noted that I drove 9 hours to see him,) I had to sit in my chair quietly, with my hands folded in my lap. This was at the peak of my illness, and if I even so much as opened my mouth, I would be set into a coughing fit.  

Bryan is the type of performer who really interacts with the audience, so he called everyone to come closer to the stage, and sing at the top of their voices.  I, however, stayed planted and basically felt like this.

But it's okay.  Now I have seen his performance, and I was able to observe what it will take to get backstage.  Now I have a plan developed for the NEXT time I see him. Mwwaaaahahahaha.... 

I did get to spend some quality time with my cousin up in Connecticut.  I spent a lot of my childhood in Connecticut, and it really is lovely.  My cousin lives in a beautiful area.  You'd have to see it to believe it; it's much different than Maryland.  AND... she lives right behind cows.  COWS!  We love cows.  

Cows!
