Day 22: Go See A Show ALONE


Go see a show ALONE. Either dance or theatre. It's my sanctuary and if I haven't been in a while I feel disconnected. - Claudia


I tend NOT to go to shows, movies, events alone. The idea of doing so makes me feel uncomfortable. Because of this, I've missed out on a lot of great performances because I had no one who was able/wanted to go. For the past few weeks I've been excited to see Meshelle Ndegeocello play at the Old Town School of Music.  I went by myself and am so happy I did. Seeing her live was a game changer and I sat 30 feet away from her brilliance and beauty. The wonderful thing about seeing her show by myself? I felt like she was singing to me and I felt no need to "perform" being interested because of the company I was keeping. There was no one next to me that I felt obligated to speak to so I could lose myself in Meshelle (swwwwwoooooonnnnnnn). Plus, I ended up getting friendly with the folks around me, keeping company with other swooning Meshelleophiles (<---made that up myself). I feel like this has opened doors to my art viewing experiences!

From her website......I can't handle her sexy.
