SO I WENT TO A CONCERTGAME LAST WEEK.
A concertgame means that there is a baseball game, and then they turn off the lights and have a concert. Why? Because the Rays draw about as many people as a dead thing draws vultures, which is to say, about three, maybe four if it's really good. (Then again, the Marlins draw even fewer fans. Watching a Marlins telecast is soul-crushing. You can literally hear individual fans cheering.)
So the Rays devised an ingenious plan: invite popular artists to have concerts at the stadium, and include the concert for free.
I went to one such concert last week (uh, as I've already said sixteen times).
There's not much to say. The game was a nail-biter extra innings affair. I got to see my very favorite pitcher for the first time. The concert was about as amazing as you'd expect Adam to be.
The stage was in the outfield. Seats for the concerts are general admission, which means you can get up and move to a closer seat if you want. We did. Except.
The stage is in the outfield. We were sitting behind home plate. The stage was so far away I literally could not see who was who on it. That was okay, though, because the sound was perfect and the giant stadium screen had all of the action. I took pictures of the screen as best I could, but none are really post-worthy. You all know what Adam and Allison look like. I also got 60 seconds if If I Had You on my phone, because it's my favorite.
Also I remembered that I had binoculars after awhile and watched part of the concert that way, which was funny.
Anyway, if you had told me this time last year that I'd have been so excited about an Adam concert I would have told you you were insane, because I used to hate his voice. I still hate the stuff he did on the show. But at the concert, there was none of the weird whiny stuff, just straight-up angel singing. And Allison was so perfect! I hope a better label snatches her up quick.

Two articles by a Rays fan/blogger about the concert. Good reads.
SO THAT WAS MY ADVENTURE. I am still recovering. It was that awesome of a day. Especially with the wonderful boyfriend. <3
