The Ones That Entertain

For most people at TCNJ, last Monday was the final day of freedom before school started. For me, it was much more important.

I saw Britney Spears live in Madison Square Garden!!!

My adventure started with a train ride to NYC with my dear friend Kristen, where I fell asleep while still holding my book open!!

In case you didn't know, Brit Brit was running a contest that day where she was giving away 2 front row tickets to the person who could find her hiding place in NYC. She was revealing clues via Twitter during our train ride. Well, long story short, we knew her location since her 2nd clue but were on the train and unable to go to the M&M Store where her clown was hidden. So I RAN to the store from the train station and got there just as Brit pulled away.... Everyone was still excited and looking at the pics they just took. I just gave dirty looks to everyone and walked back to MSG.
Turns out the whole thing was kinda dumb, since a whole crowd was gathered outside the store and the 'hidden clown' just arrived, picked a random girl out of the audience and she won. Booo.

Anyway, and on the way back, I spotted this:
Parsons (aka, Project Runway's past seasons), Britney Spears AND McDonalds all in one location?? Perfection.

So we got some Sweet Tea and waited 'til showtime. We got to MSG and I posed with this poster.

And Kristen posed with NYC.

We got in our seats, which were better than I thought! I thought we wouldn't be able to make out the people on stage, but that wasn't the case at all. I could see Britney (and her bad hair extensions) clearly from my seat!!

So after like 17 opening acts (that were equally dumb AKA not Kelly Clarkson, P!nk, Taylor Swift, Leona Naess, Syesha, or someone with talent AKA Christina of the Barge/One Call/Jordin Sparks), Brit finally took the stage! Here's a video from one of my favorite numbers, "If U Seek Amy."



Needless to say, I loved the show! I really wish she would just SING (she could have at least sung "Everytime" since it didn't involve any dancing), but you go to a Britney show knowing that you're really there for the dancing/spectacle and not the singing. The 'circus' element was really cool. Some of those performers were crazy! As for the setlist, I wish she did "Unusual You" instead of "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)" but I liked most of the setlist.

Considering her most recent VMA performance (it wasn't that bad!), Brit has come a long way. She's not back to her former glory, but she's getting there. And at least now she's smiling while she performs!

So if you haven't seen Brit... go see her now! Duh! She's almost done touring and it might be another 5 years before her next tour.

After the excitement of seeing Britney live, I fell asleep on the way home.

(Surprise! I'm wearing shorts! Now don't make fun of my legs.)
But I woke up from my nap, just so I could model the shirt that Kristen bought, featuring Britney Spears lyrics.

I was too poor for a $40 t-shirt, but I did get this cool cup when I bought a drink at the concession stand.

And yes, that is the only cup I drink out of these days.

It sounds like it was a fun show. I am glad you had a good time. I think your legs look well proportioned for you body. You shouldn't worry about wearing shorts.

that's J-O-S-H said...

YES! Good jerb mentioning T.Swift and P!nk! There is a live video online of Brit singing "Everytime." She fake playz the piano - at one point she steps away and it still keeps playing haha - and she actually does a vocally impressive octave jump in the beginning!

I'm seeing P!nk in concert in October. Someday, you and I should go see a show together that isn't just a filmed video of two concertz.

MAYBE TAYLOR SWIFT?!??!?!

Chris: Thanks :)

Josh: I've seen that vid! She's alright. And you know, she really does know how to play the piano.... not that she plays it there, but she does know how.
OMG I WOULD LOVE TO SEE T. SWIFT! However, all of her shows for this tour sold out in approx 46 seconds. Maybe next tour!

Sounds like a fun concert. Did you sing along with every song?

You look so cute sleeping on the train : ).

Jere Keys said...

I like how this blog is pretending to be about the Britney concert but is really about Enrico's legs.

Polt said...

I think the best part of the whole post was that in the "perfection" photo, not only is there Parson's, Brit (SIGH) and Mcdonalds, but I see a SUPERMAN S there as well! Suh-Weet.

Glad you enjoyed yourself, punkin. And your legs look fine.

HUGS...

Tam said...

You look adorable in the tank. So glad you had a good time at the show. What a lovely cup you have. :-)

john said...

I was actually more disturbed by the position of your neck while sleeping than your legs. That and the fact that tank top, clearly meant for an 8 year old, actually fit you.

i didn't even know you were going. i hope you you had a great time. It looks like your trian ride was more peaceful then the time we went with Anthony.

I think the tank photo would have been better if you weren't wearing the greet t-shirt underneath. You kind of look homeless.

Aww, widdel Enwico all tuckered out!

Michelle M: Nope! I get annoyed when people sing at concerts and you can't hear the singer. This was obviously not the case at this concert, but I'm in the habit of not singing at concerts.

Jere: Not only this entry, but my entire blog is about my legs. Didn't you know?

Polt: Good catch! I love others can find things to love in my perfection pic! That's the Marvel store or something like that.

Tam: And the cup is huge! I think it's like 32 ounces, which is more than I usually drink in one sitting.

John: That's a fairly normal positioning of the neck I think... I usually am contorted in much stranger ways. And that shirt was actually a LARGE and not meant for an 8 year old! If I wore it without a t-shirt underneath, I'd be swimming in it.

Gabi: I miss Anthony! Though I don't miss him while walking through NYC...

David: Well I wasn't gonna strip on the train!
