Georgetown TX
I traveled to this
small city of less than 100,000 people. The night's highlight was Southwestern
University at the Alma Thomas Fine Arts Center. It could be because I am a
college girly, but I love to take on events through colleges and nonprofits.
This also means that these events cost much less, which is perfect for most
budgets.
I ventured through the city since I wanted to explore and
burn time. The city was lively and
bustling with visitors and locals. Before arriving at the event, I visited
downtown the historical part of the city, and with all the Victorian
architecture and things to see I enjoyed the little time I had.
We entered the theater once we had our fill of pink Moscato and white Zinfandel. The stage placed the performers in the middle with Candles closing them in. It was such a high-vibrational night.
The theme of the night was Beyonce's hit songs. The lineup included “Drunk in Love”, “Say My Name”, “Halo”, “Love on Top” and many more. You can tell which were the crowds’ favorites since the audience started booming once all the faves played. The musicians introduced each song with small talk and crowd interactions. They played with grace and energy.
If you couldn’t guess from the video, one of my favorite
songs played was “Say My Name”. The crowd agreed as some sang along, and others
hummed.
After the performance, the crowd had an opportunity to take
pictures in front of the beautiful setup. We snapped some photos and
Plot Twist
Okay, it wouldn’t be a trip with Bre if there wasn’t something
and every trip has its ups and downs. This was the down.
Remember before entering the concert, we were allowed to
purchase wine, sip, sit, and chat. I decided on the sweet wine pink Moscato. Now
the glass of Moscato just so happened to be warm since the school says the
chilled bottles were already sold out. I
decided to drink it anyway, and it went down a bit harsh but did its job.
During the concert, I felt amazing, relaxed and energized. By the time I hit
the Benz parked in the school lot, I struggled to pop the door open. My friend
offered to drive, and we all piled in. We had an hour and a half drive back
home and every minute became increasingly difficult.
I began to feel woozy and nauseated. Mind you I hadn’t eaten
in 24 hours and then I drank warm Moscato, and something did not sit well. I
began to sweat and become overwhelmed. As soon as we hit my city limits I couldn’t
hold in my nausea, and we had to pull over for me to release all the liquid
contents of my tummy. I was drenched in sweat and exhaustion, my group assisted
with napkins and wipes.
The next morning was Sunday, and I had a late start. That
did not stop me from creating my Sunday financial reset using my budget plan
