Live performances aren’t for me

What was the last live performance you saw?

In the past I’ve never been big on going to concerts. Probably because I don’t like being surrounded by thousands of strangers (which is also likely why I don’t go out of my way to go to conventions.)

That being said, I will go if I’m not going alone. The number of live performances I have been to can be counted with just my two hands, and the last one was in 2019.

TwitchCon ’19 was the first major convention I had ever been to (that I can recall, though I may have been to one as a real little kid back in Denver) and on the second night of the three days they had an after party. Twitch rented out the entire baseball stadium, Petco Park, which was a convenient walk from the convention center. They had all the beer and food vendors open on the lower level, and you had the choice of sitting in the stands or being down on the field (with the ability to go back and forth as you wanted) during the performance.

Originally, Lil Nas X was supposed to headline the event with Blink-182, but he backed out last minute. Instead, we got an awesome last minute surprise headliner of rapper Logic. It was my first and so far only time getting to see any of them live, so I can at least scratch that off my non-existent concert bucket list.

It was a great show, overall, even with the overpriced stadium food, but I haven’t been to any of the following TwitchCon events since. COVID-19 kind of ruined that for everyone.
