Since August when I purchased the tickets, I have been anxiously awaiting the big day...yesterday, November 18th! My first Madonna concert...and what an amazing experience it was! That woman does not have an ounce of body fat on her; her energy level is unfaltering; and her show's production is truly spectacular! After a very late start, Madonna took the stage and literally did not stop for 2 hours....neither did I, but my movement didn't even begin to mirror hers! I so thoroughly enjoyed the evening, that I had to take a personal day today from work just to recuperate...When I got up this morning, I still could feel the excessive amounts of alcohol that I ingested rushing through my system...like rapids on the Colorado river! It has been MANY years since I let loose like I did last night, and oh how wonderful it was! My husband and I pre-partied for 3 hours with a couple of friends, danced the whole concert long with a different pair of friends, and, simply stated, had a blast doing it! I have even discovered bruises on my legs this morning from all the banging against the seat backs in front of me that I must have got while dancing....crazy! I must say that I was a bit worried that the night might not measure up to my anticipation...but it truly did! I had so much fun that I've decided that I need to let go like that more often..."Getting into the groove" and partying with friends definitely helps battle that feeling of being stuck in the mommy role....So if you're feeling like that from time to time, turn on some music and let yourself go...tremendous release....(just don't ingest ridiculous amounts of alcohol....not so great the next day!)
One side note...we were somewhat disappointed in the people of Detroit and how they responded to such a great show....When the concert ended and she said goodnight....everyone just started to exit....no one screamed, yelled or demanded more....no one begged to hear Express Yourself or Deeper and Deeper...they simply got their coats and began to leave! I have NEVER been to a concert that did not have even ONE encore! REALLY? I couldn't believe it! Even symphony concerts have encores! What's that all about? Were people bored, tired, or just simply worried about getting home so that they could get up for work? I don't get it....it really bothered my husband who felt rather cheated out because the Detroit crowd was so boring! Whatever! I didn't let it get to me that deeply, but believe me that reaction confirmed my desire to leave this place even more....! I must stop now because my head is still spinning! Hoping that the good times keep rolling, I will go rest for the next round!
