Awww crying in the car? That sucks! I'm so sorry. We got downtown hours before and had dinner before we walked over because I figured it would be just like that. We have a train and a mini train called the metro mover that pretty much runs in a circle downtown. The scariest part is knowing where to leave your car because some lot attendants work with car thieves. It's a mess!
Overall the concert was amazing because it really looks like Beyonce is having the time of her life. It's her tour but she's letting other people shine and the vibe was so celebratory. I found silver cowboy boots but at the end of the day I wore silver high top sneakers because I wanted to dance. My mil ubered home and then I went to a Renaissance after party with my husband. Honestly it was just as fun as the concert because they had a "Ball" setup.
Girl yes crying. At first I was trying to cry discretely since in gridlock everyone can see everyone sitting inside our cars, but towards the end I didn't care and was full-out crying. THANK GOD my period randomly arrived over a week early because if I had been PMSing I probably would have had a complete mental breakdown and been 51-50ed. I gave myself an extra hour of wiggle room too and it wasn't enough. I've been following all of the fashion for the tour and was so excited to see what Phoenix's opening outfit was going to be and I was like 'Omfg I can't believe I'm going to miss it.'
About parking.....so I was so panicked getting there that I paid no attention to where I parked....so when I came out I was completely lost. Took me over an hour to find my car and I had rashes for days from my thighs chafing while I walked around in my shorts looking.
Battle scars. Mind you it was also over 100 degrees during the search, God bless the water vendors. $10 for 2 bottles of water and it was worth it. Thank God I had decided to switch to a comfier outfit.
Also idk if you saw it on social media but the Phoenix show was the one where the power went out; her mic and all the music just shut off completely during Alien Superstar. She danced off the stage and maybe ten minutes later she was back and restarted the song in a new outfit.
Speaking of Alien Superstar, ever since the album dropped it seemed to me like that was everyone's favorite and the one that people loved the most on the tour(and Heated), but at my show Cuff It was the one where I felt the energy shift the most, and it was such positive energy. Really cool to experience.
I remember you mentioning the party, I wish I could have gone to something like that because it sounds like it would be just as fun as the concert.
It was just so cool being in a sea of beehive members because I've always been the only Beyonce stan among my family and friends.
