finally, a friday night to remember. a friend gave me a pass to the erykah badu concert at love nightclub tonight. i was hesitant to go since last trip to love, they attempted to charge me $20 for parking and another $20 for cover even though i was on the guest list. this, however, was amazing. i walked right past the one hundred or so people standing outside, handed the bouncer my "credentials", and was welcomed right in, like one of those guys you see climbing out of a wagon wheel rimmed [insert flashy car brand here], accompanied by some girl you just know has a 20 page image search result on google.
once inside, i quickly learned that dinner was on verizon wireless. i hopped in line for a plate of pasta and jerk chicken and then headed upstairs to get a good vantage for the badu show. erykah badu has a very down-to-earth vibe that made her show comfortable as well as entertaining. i didn't realize she was the artist responsible for the song "tyrone", but seeing the crowd's excited reaction to this and others from her catalogue captured my interest. while neo soul isn't a type of music i usually listen to, it was easy to become a fan of erykah's heartfelt live performance. not to mention the fact that the whole experience cost me less than one of those ridiculously expensive 41 cent postage stamps! what about you -- are you an erykah badu fan? get anything good for free lately?
