Recently, my partner Alex and I attended a concert featuring the band Swell Season, known for their contribution to the film Once. While their music isn’t typically our usual genre, we decided to embrace a bit of edginess for the night—an annual indulgence, if you will.
Reflections from this Rare Evening Out
- Being carded after giving birth to three children is quite comical. I almost considered showing my stretch marks as proof of my age.
- Opening acts can be disheartening. They often serve as mere fillers until the main performance and, unfortunately, the last act faced boos from the crowd. His appearance resembled that of a serial killer, which didn’t help matters.
- At standing-room-only concerts, personal space becomes a distant memory. As someone who cherishes my personal bubble, this was rather unfortunate.
- Attempting to discreetly pass gas does not result in gaining personal space; instead, it prompts my partner to exclaim, “Did someone just fart?” which only draws more attention.
- Standing for two hours is a task I’d much prefer to have tackled a decade ago.
- Asking your teenage neighbor if she has visited an over-21 venue will most likely yield a “no.” If she says “yes,” it may be time to reconsider her babysitting capabilities.
- While live music has its appeal, there’s something undeniably comforting about spending a Saturday night on the couch with my laptop.
I’ve come to realize that perhaps I’m more of a homebody than I’d like to admit. If you’re interested in more about home insemination, you can check out this resource.
In the realm of family planning, resources like this at-home insemination kit are invaluable for those considering self-insemination. Additionally, Hopkins Medicine offers excellent insights into fertility services and can assist in the journey toward parenthood.
In summary, while a night out can be refreshing, the comforts of home often outweigh the excitement of a concert, especially when it involves family.
