Last week I went to see Lady Gaga rock it out and she did not disappoint! It was an amazing show!! Great songs, tons of dancing and movement around the arena, a positive and welcoming message, tons of costume changes, and 17K fun fellow Gaga fans to enjoy the evening with!
In general, I am a slow adopter. It was years before I acquired a smart phone, and Gaga was no different. For me, early Gaga was just a little too much. I definitely appreciate the lower key Gaga. To her die-hard fans I am sure this is an unheard of insult! I just found the fact that you didn’t really see her face for years to be insane. And a little bit creepy…
But regardless, over the last several years, I became a Gaga convert and I have to say, I am now a borderline die-hard. She has such and amazing message of inclusivity and acceptance; I honestly don’t understand how people cannot love her!!
Any way, back to the concert. She was AMAZING! I heard somewhere that she works out 4 hours a day to be able to have the endurance and stamina in order to perform. I am not sure whether or not it is true, but I am inclined to believe it! Her show is so physical, she is an incredible athlete in order to perform how she does on a routine basis!
All the costume changes were insane; I counted 10 in total (honestly, I could have missed some). 10 costume changes in 2 hours. I feel like I barely wear 10 outfits in a week! But bot Gaga, Gaga goes through 10 outfits in 2 hours. Insane…
During her concert, we danced, we sang, and had an amazing time. I did find her concert to be a little more mellow than I anticipated, but it was a lot of fun! The one down side was a the letter she read to the crowd at the very end of the concert – it was a very moving and emotional letter from a fan. It was also a very LONG letter. Very long. A little too long for a concert in my opionon, but I can only imagine how much it must have meant to the woman that wrote the letter, and to Gaga.
As I look back on it, I am not sure then concert was really adventure. It wasnt too outside my normal comfort zone and it was something I would have done regardless of this challenge, but I for sure will be counting it as one of my 52! I am learning that coming up with 52 adventures is going to be harder than I anticipated! I think this concert counts more as a new experience, and maybe that does count.
I need to spend some time focusing on finding new experiences that will help me continue to grow and evolve and stretch my comfort zone. Any ideas?
Until next time…
