Reflections from a Concert Experience: A Comedy of Errors

Get Pregnant Fast

The other night, my partner Alex and I ventured out for a rare night of live music, catching a performance by The Swell Season—yes, the band from that film Once that everyone raves about. While it’s not typically our jam, they put on a great show. After all, it’s nice to step out of our comfort zone once a year, right?

Here are some candid thoughts from my evening out:

1. Getting Carded After Kids: Honestly, being asked for ID after having three kids is laughable. I nearly considered flashing my stretch marks just to prove my age!
2. Opening Acts: They can be a real downer. No one’s there for them—they’re just filler until the main event. The poor guy who opened for The Swell Season was actually booed. I mean, he looked like a serial killer, which didn’t help his case.
3. Personal Space, What’s That?: At standing room only concerts, personal space is a myth. As someone who cherishes their bubble, it’s an unfortunate reality I had to face.
4. Gas and Its Consequences: I thought I could discreetly pass gas to reclaim some space, but all it did was cause my partner to loudly declare, “Did someone fart?!” Thanks, honey.
5. Standing for Hours: Remember when standing for two hours was a cakewalk? Yeah, those days are long gone.
6. Teenage Neighbors: If you ask your 13-year-old neighbor if she’s been to an over-21 venue, don’t be surprised if she says yes. If she does, you might want to rethink trusting her with your kids.
7. Couch Comfort: Live music is fun, but honestly, there’s nothing like a quiet Saturday night on the couch with my laptop. I’ll take the comfort of home over the chaos of a concert any day.

In the end, I realized I’m just a homebody at heart.
