Weekend in New York

Went to see Jill Scott

I took my girl to the Jill Scott concert last Sunday, and it was tight! I saw Jill back in 01’ at The Avalon and sister girl brought the house down, and she doesn’t play Boston that often so I had to get down and see her this time around. I knew about the concert for a while, but for some reason I procrastinated on buying the tickets. That was a big mistake, cuz by the time I went online there was nothing good available. My girl was real optimistic about the whole thing "baby there gonna be a lot of people out there with tickets, we might just get something good", operative word, "might". We get down there and sure enough I heard people screaming "tickets, tickets, I got tickets". We reached the Orpheum and I saw the group of guys who were screaming they had tickets. As I’m looking at these guys I immediately thought this could be a money-making opportunity for me. I should go to the 7Eleven stock up and come back yelling" soap, soap, who needs soap" cuz these dudes looked like they were fresh out the homeless shelter. I figured these cats is helping me get into the show, maybe I can help them get clean lol. It wasn’t a mystery everybody passing them know they needed soap, even a passerbyer’s dog was barking cuz they needed soap maybe 3 or 4 of them could turn over a new leaf! I couldn’t entertain that thought for too much longer cuz it was cold out, and my girl was freezing (because all females are nemics), which meant I had to get down to the "get down". I selected the cleanest one out of the Funky Bunch and decided to deal. The second I approached homeboy he instantly starting selling me bs. With a strong Boston accent he said "buddy these are great fockin’ seats.." I look at the tickets and they read ROW Z. I go " row Z that sounds far as shit!"..he says "dude I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I’m telling you these ahh great fockin’ seats, I’m naught shittin’ yah" So I buy the tickets and me and my girl enter the theater. We walk up the stairs passed the mezzanine which was equivalent to a Somalian walking past a food buffet and not being able to eat, it was a big tease. We finally reached the balcony and gave the attendant my tickets so she could guide us to our seats, she says "oh no, you’re up one more..", I’m thinking " Damn one more, if we keep going we’re gonna be in the attic" So we walk up one more floor, I hand the tickets to the isle attendant, she proceeds to walk all the way to the back of the theater! I swear it was like nosebleeds the final frontier! All I could see was Jill Scott’s titties jiggling in her dress lol she had them joints sittin’ up like an ab workout. It looked like two heads sittin’ in dinner bowls (no disrespect Jill, I got mad love for you!). I was like "wait til I get outside, I’ma find Nochange McGee and tell him he’s full of shit!". It was all my fault, I should’ve acted sooner on purchasing the tickets. Nonetheless I had a great time, my girlfriend really enjoyed herself, and I’d definitely do it over again, only with much better planning.
