"No matter how much a person has let you down, just keep on loving them to the person you know them to be."
I had a blast at Jason Mraz's concert last night. I was squashed, sticky and was violated of my personal space in so many ways but it was so AWESOME. I expected the vibe to be different, watching Jason live and he did not disappoint. Even though I have problems hearing through my right ear and may have difficulty speaking without sounding like Marilyn Monrone gone wrong, I wouldn't have it any other way. :3
I decided to reach the venue (Gardens by the Bay!) around 6.30pm thinking that I would beat the crowd. No. It did not happen that way. Close to a hundred (and counting) fans were already stationed right in front of the stage and I was fortunate enough to secure a place that's 5-6 row from the front. Oh, did I mention that it was free standing? That's right. I stood for over 4 freaking hours!!!
I wish I was taller...or possess longer arms...maybe a camera designed to take awesome clear, crisp close up pictures in dim lighting whilst tip toeing and raising it above your head. ^^
Some patrons might not get the same experience but I suppose it's up to the individual. If you come in with the right attitude and mindset that you want and are going to have fun, you usually do. If you're going to get critical and be all "Oh, the soul of the music wasn't what it used to be." or "The bass could be better." then yeah, talk to the hand.
Kinda reminds me of worshippers on Sunday services. I'm not saying you just take in everything blindly....just don't get too crazy critical and pedantic, that's all.
But I digress. Here's some photos!!
I spy someone with the longest lens right in front of stage right. While I envy the quality pictures that guy would have gotten, I'd prefer to just be in the moment and enjoy the music.
