It's Britney, bitch!



So this past Sunday night, Lisa, Miss Scarlet and I headed out and caught Britney Spears at the Verizon Center. We first went to Fago in Chinatown for food and some beer, and about an hour plus two Irish car bombs between me and Scarlet later, we headed out to the show.

Seriously, I must have truly forgotten what it was like to be under 21, as every girl that was at the concert was literally HALF NAKED! I've never seen so many short skirts, shorts and tops in my life. I mean, I wore a lot of that stuff when I was that age, but damn! I don't remember it being that short. I'm surprised that every girl I came across that night wasn't about to be accosted by some weirdo in the corner the moment I turned away from them.

Anyhoo, we caught the first act (Nervo and Jessie and the Boy Toys) which was ok. Lots of trancey beats and butt shaking with skimpy outfits. And then suddenly, out of nowhere (since I'm sitting on end of our row), I feel a huge splash of beer drop on my back. Some girl wasn't paying attention while walking by and just spilled it on me!

Luckily, none of it got into my hair, or I would have gotten up and chased her. Since it was on my clothes, I figured it would dry, so it wasn't too big of a deal. My hair would have been the dealbreaker though. That girl and I would have thrown down if my hair had gotten wet.

Nicki Minaj came on after that. I was surprised at how everyone knew EVERY last lyric to her songs. There were lots of people were running around with their pink wigs on, rapping. So funny. And then 45 minutes later, Britney came on. I heard some of my old school favorites such as "...Baby One More Time," "I'm A Slave 4 U," and "Boys", among other songs. She closed the show with "Toxic" and "'Till the World Ends".

All in all (with the exception of the beer incident), it was a good night and the show was really good. It went by quick, though, which was the only negative. I'm sure everyone else had a good time as well (especially since there was no arguing or hissy fits thrown during the event, lol). Who knows, maybe I'll go to see her again next year. We'll see. Not sure if I want to drop $70 on tickets again.
