I'm a little ashamed to admit it, I guess. It's not the kind of music I have usually always liked. But, I've turned into a pretty big Lady Gaga fan. I love her music, it makes me want to get up and dance. So when I heard she was coming to Dallas, OF COURSE I had to go see her! Especially since I hear she puts on a freaking amazing show! Nobody else I know likes her. That probably adds to my shame. So I decided to go by myself.
Well, I had an amazing time! I was kind of nervous driving over there by myself, since I hate long lines and parking and most people. But it actually wasn't too bad. When I started walking to the actual building, I knew it was going to be *an event*. Girls and boys were dressed up like Lady Gaga. Wigs, fishnets, sunglasses, corsets, leotards, hair bows. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! And that was before the show even began! It really kind of made me feel good about living here. The fact that I don't see these diverse and fierce people every day doesn't mean they're not in Dallas, after all.
I found out I had really good seats! I wasn't too close, but I was in a good position to be able to see the whole stage, close enough to enjoy the choreographed dancing, and in a perfect position to be able to look up and see the monitor and the stage at the same time. Not only that, but I was against an aisle bar. So I pretty much spent the entire night dancing. :)
Her costumes, her voice, the dancing.. the presentation!.. Oh, man. She really made an effort. It was probably the best concert I've ever gone to. Her music even sounded better live! She added some heavy guitars that really kind of turned her pop opera into a rock show. There were a lot of moments that made me gasp, and almost brought tears to my eyes because she was so sweet, and very passionate about gay rights. A+ Gaga! Would go again! :)
