The day began much earlier than usual as I was much too excited to sleep. I got up and got dressed and brushed my teeth, my stomach filled with butterflies the entire time. After a few hours, my mom and I finally set out on the road. I was a bundle of excitement and nerves (a little of it was from the concert but most of it was because my car is very old and I was very unsure of whether we would make it there or not.) Luckily, after about 5 hours, we made it to Pasadena and the Rose bowl. My mom dropped me off and I walked into the arena, it was quite an experience walking to the arena and hearing side conversations from other Eminem fans about mmlp 1 and 2. I felt for a second that I belonged, even though I was still alone. Anyway, I found my seat (much closer than I thought it would be.) and a lot of thoughts were running through my head like, "Man, I wonder what songs they'll do" and "I really hope he does evil twin." The lights went out and the concert began. The intro was hilarious and full of old Shady humor. Rihanna was okay. When Eminem came out, it felt like my life had led up to that point. I just sat in awe as I witness him spitting his wicked rhymes in front of my very own eyes. I couldn't believe this was happening to me, 10 years earlier I was watching clips of Eminem concerts and thinking I would never have my turn to actually see him in the flesh. Obviously, I was wrong. Soon, the mashups ended and it was time for Rhianna's set. It seemed to drag on and on and a lot of people around me seemed to be very bored with the performance. I enjoyed 2 two songs: Stay and Umbrella.
Anyway, as soon as Slim Shady returned to the stage, the stadium erupted in cheers. I only took a few videos of the songs I enjoyed the most, for a lot of the time I just committed the show to memory. I sang along with my favorite songs, (rap god, 3:a.m, criminal, sdgaf,etc.)stopped to admire em's muscles and good looks
, and just had a good time. Much too soon, the show ended and my mom picked me up. The whole time I was walking to the car, it felt like a dream. I didn't have any depression or anything, just a new sense of motivation and inspiration. I felt like a new person. I made it home the next morning and I just thought "wow, this happened to me!"10/10 experience would recommend/do again.
