I guess this April and last prove
that music is important to me. While many forms interest me, I’m particularly
fond of heavy metal. Avenged Sevenfold has been one of my favorites for well
over a decade.
And they are performing in my
region this summer, at a favorite venue no less. Unfortunately, my partner is
deaf in one ear and won’t even consider going.
There really is no one else I
know who would care to go, or that I would care to ask. So I resigned myself to
missing out despite attending numerous concerts on my own in past years. Sometimes it was a less than stellar experience being a lone female among drunk or high strangers.
But darn if watching A7X
videos didn’t fire me up about seeing them live again. It’s been too long. So I came up with the idea of staying at a hotel near the coliseum,
perhaps even taking a taxi to and from the show.
That way I’m not making a
late night commute, eliminating the risk of hitting a deer or something, and
can imbibe if I want to without worrying. So I mentioned this to my partner.
The response? “You’re a grown
woman.”
I rightfully took this to mean a kind blessing that I do what I will.
So now I have my ticket. I just need to decide where to stay but have plenty of time to decide.

What about you? Anything you’re
excited about doing this summer?

I never did the heavy metal rock stuff much. I am an oldies person. I think the best music around was what came out of the 70's. There is a station here in Nashville called the Hippie Station. Love it but they do 50s, 60s and 70s but there was a station that came out a yr ago, it plays mostly the 70s...and I love it. Unless my grandson gets in the car, it stays on that one channel.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with sticking with your favorites, my dear. I actually got into talk radio in the nineties. Then I woke up and found what I was missing. I'll listen to older music for sure but need new stuff to quicken my blood. ~grin~ Happy easy listening!
DeleteThe highlight of my summer will be attending the Southern Cathedrals Festival at Winchester Cathedral. I'm passionate about choral music and I'll enjoy 4 days of concerts by several of the country's finest cathedral choirs. I'll be sleeping in my little tent amongst the trees with just deer, rabbits and foxes for company. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteClick to visit Keith's Ramblings!
Sounds divine! Wish I could camp out next to you. I promise not to blast music. ~grin~ Be well!
DeleteThe only thing I know about Avenged Sevenfold is where the mother of one of the members lives. Next door to my dad.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the concert.
Oh, that's right. I remember you said that. How cool. Be well!
DeleteWell, I am wanting to see George Thorogood. I think I missed out on tickets, though. So what if you are a grown woman? Go for it. Get a start on your second childhood! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. That was the intent, to do as I pleased. I don't give my partner enough credit, really.
DeleteI cannot imagine you with someone not supportive. Go for it!
DeleteI am glad you are going, but it is too bad your partner won't go just for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. I feel the same, but it is what is as some of my favorite old rock stars like to say. At least I'm getting financial and ultimate emotional support.
DeleteGood partner you have! Have a blast!!! As usual, I have no summer plans except I hope to take my raft, hopefully it will still hold air, out on the reservoir.
ReplyDeleteI hope your raft is in good shape, my dear. Rafting seems one of your greatest pleasures. I enjoy your resulting photos, too!
