Just now going through my concert video...
Just now going through my concert video. Apparently, I recorded more songs than I thought... From my back pocket. It's music, and a bunch of knees and crotches. 😂
Today was a comedown/take a migraine pill kind of day.
Today was a comedown/take a migraine pill kind of day. Me and Janet pushed ourselves yesterday in the heat. For me, a major part of the exhaustion was just from pure excitement. I enjoy concerts, but I've rarely been the one to choose/suggest one. This one I REALLY wanted to attend; I chose it, and I put in the work to make it happen. I was going with or without a buddy.
I had a wonderful time. I did get separated from Janet; I'd managed to get right up front when she'd gone to get water or go to the bathroom or something. But I was fine with that. I wanted to sing and dance and enjoy myself and not be self-conscious about it around people I know. And I did sing and dance through the whole show. I didn't record much - I was too busy enjoying myself.
I was so close to Paco. I could see his eyes. I tried hard not to stare him down like a creep, but I probably failed. At one point I had closed my eyes and was just grooving, and he said "Close your eyes and feel the music." I don't know if he saw me or if it was coincidence, but DAMN. They also did a really sensual and sexy version of Cosas Ricas. 🔥
So anyway, this is the most fun I've ever had at a show. Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso did not disappoint. A lot of times, live shows just don't sound as good, but the energy was great, their voices were amazing, the band was on point... I just can't say enough good things.
I got some Starburst that the band threw. I made some friends. I saw Ca7riel and Paco live. It was a wonderful (albeit hot and sweaty) time. I am happy. 😊

It was a great show.
It was a great show. The excitement/heat won and I threw up in the merch line afterwards. But I lived. And I also did not pass out, so it's all good. 😂
I'm so excited I could die.
I'm so excited I could die.
Going into a city.
Meeting a friend.
Seeing Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso live.
I'm literally vibrating with excitement.

I made it to Houston around 11 last night.
I made it to Houston around 11 last night. Thirteen hours on the road, 2 bathroom/fuel breaks, but otherwise a straight shot.
I didn't sleep at all on Tuesday night before I left. I definitely wanted to, but the excitement was too much. But I wasn't tired on the road. I listened to Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso the whole way and I was awake and happy. I crashed hard and slept like a rock when I got to Janet and Jajuan's house last night. I'm currently so excited it's causing a headache. I'm a whole mess. I've never been this excited for a show before. How am I in my 40s being more of a fangirl than I ever have in my whole life?
These guys are magical. They've been a daily staple for me since I first saw them on TV back in May. I can't get enough. They're creative, talented, beautiful, funny, bold (not afraid to go against norms)... I could go on and on. But I'm gonna try to chill down and level out so I'll be ready for the show tomorrow. I plan to match their energy.
❤️❤️❤️
