Okay, so I have to share this story because I still can’t quite believe I actually did it. Last month, my ultimate favorite band, The Midnight Echoes, announced a last-minute show in Chicago.
Now, I live all the way in Denver. I pulled up a map, typed in the cities, and bam – 731 miles. That’s an 11-hour drive, minimum. I stared at my laptop screen for a solid ten minutes.
My rational brain was screaming “NO! You have work! That’s insane! ” But my fangirl heart It was already packing a bag.
I’d been following this band since they were just posting covers online, and this was their first major headlining tour. I just had this feeling, you know This was *the* moment.
So, against all better judgment, I maed out my credit card for a last-minute plane ticket and a hotel room that cost more than my weekly grocery bill.
The whole trip was a blur of nervous ecitement.
I remember sitting on the plane, thinking, “What am I doing Is this completely unhinged” But the second I walked into the venue and felt that energy, all the doubt just vanished.
It was packed with people who loved their music as much as I did. We were all just. . . connected, screaming every lyric together. And then it happened.
During their final song, the lead singer, Ale, jumped off the stage and started running through the crowd. And he stopped. Right. Net. To. Me.
He sang the last chorus with his arm around my shoulder, and I think I actually blacked out for a second from pure joy. I have a photo of it, and my face is just a pielated mess of tears and shock.
That single moment made every single mile, every single dollar, completely and utterly worth it. This whole crazy adventure got me thinking, though.
What is it about following a passion for an artist or a band that makes us do these seemingly irrational things It’s more than just liking their music.
It’s about the community, the shared eperience, and the feeling that their art genuinely understands a part of you. So, I’m throwing it out to you guys.
What’s the craziest or most memorable thing you’ve ever done for a concert or to meet a celebrity Did you camp out for tickets Travel to a different city or country I wanna hear your stories!
Let’s make this a thread full of our best (and maybe slightly embarrassing) fangirl/fanboy moments.
