On Sunday I had the opportunity to go to a concert of a famous flamenco dancer called Jaquin Cortés, he apparently jilted the diva of the runway, Naomi Campbell. Quite a drama must of happened for him to 'dump' her. The overall concert wasn't too bad but did you ever go watch a movie, concert etc. and everybody liked it but you weren't feelin' it? Well that is how I felt throughout the whole concert not only that, the organisation. It was more than horrible. Let me list a few points why it was so. First, the location: It was next to some sort of free way, it was such a pain in the neck to find this place and then park. Second, 'Mini Bar': Most events like this give you the opportunity to buy a snack and something to drink well thank god they at least managed to organise that, but here comes the disappointing part. The concert started 40 minutes later then it should which made a few people hungry including myself so I got something to eat, but when I asked the lady (that literally understood no English whatsoever) she said they ran out of food. That made me grin for awhile because if I understand this right they ran out of food before the concert even started. It's unreal! Last but definitely not least, the stage: Now on to the organisation of the stage which was a complete fail, the reason I choose this horrible word is because the stage was way above people's eye sight, so basically you would be sitting there and when Jaquin would do the part where he step dances you wouldn't see a thing. I don't call that well thought through to be honest. |

There is another part I wanted to share, and that should be the surrounding; meaning the crowd. I noticed several odd things that people do, which I found relevant sharing:
People tend to dress very over the top and pull out their diamonds such as their expensive jewellery and shoes just for a event where they are there to see the show and not a catwalk. I don't blame them, don't get me wrong I get dressy as well but I don't try as hard as they did on the concert.
Then there are those people that meet others. Usually they are desperate English men who want to meet English speaking Spanish women. Let me just say it takes hell a lot effort since most Spanish women don't speak the language English. Lucky for the two guys though, who effortless I'd say found three women their age about 40+. Now the reason I noticed all this weird stuff is because they were none stop talking to each other which hey go head have fun, but please be respectful and talk maybe in the volume so only your acquaintance can hear you. So they went on talking about how great the concert was which it overall really was. But sometimes they were laughing about some joke someone pulled, even if the plot of the concert might of been sad or tragic. They weren't really paying attention to the concert I could. I also would like to introduce the people who act the most normal but are on the other side attention seekers (most of them are in fact), basically what they do is clap when appropriate and fully concentrate on the concert. People like that, usually don't tolerate being surrounded by people that talk loudly and act silly. It is common that they are an older population or just stuck-up. The last one that my dad relates to a lot. The more outgoing type, they are the funniest to be around. Judging from my dad, he was screaming like a maniac (not to be rude), unnecessary clapping and things like remarking every five minutes on how fascination it is to be here. The funny twist is though that those people are trying to be noticed but honestly the only person or group of people who actually get attention are the ones on stage and that is where it gets funny. Now that is just how my dad is like, there could be different people sharing the same 'intentions'.
Another topic would be fights. Fights always happen on concerts, festivals and in theatres whether they are about "you are sitting on my seat" or "I can't see behind this tall person" they are always present. But lets just refer to them as little misunderstandings because that is really what they are.
Summing everything in conclusion people are different; they act different, look different and personality as such. This is a statement and it will always be even if aliens invade and control all of our brains. (As if that is ever going to happen.)
QOTD
I think this is one of my favourite quotes that also keep me motivated to try hard in life. Sometimes we don't try things just because we think it is too hard for us to handle and forget the most important that it will be so worth it in the end. So remember the beginning is always hard but once you get there it will worth it.
Q: What was your worst experience at a public event?
Who was the most famous person you saw perform?
