Ooops,, forgot to update/continue the story.
So,, I added Chris to my "Celebrity crush" list,, and focused my attention on trying to get to know more about the band altogether,, while still keeping an eye out for any additional posts/pictures/stories/interviews I would find that featured more details about him (which, eventually I did find!).
And so I decided to expand the list of Phoenix songs I was currently listening to (which was: 2 songs).
I wasn't sure where to start,, so I turned to various internet forums to look up their best/most popular songs according to fans as well as the ones they played the most at concerts so that I could at least sing along to them in case I were to attend one.
And I ended up with a Playlist consisting on 12 songs. The first couple new ones I added,, actually came from their YouTube comments section.
As I mentioned before, I kept playing Lisztomania and Tonight on loop, and in one of Tonight's comments, there was one saying how the vibes of that music reminded them of "Ti amo" so I played that one next and LOVED IT. Again, I played it on loop for a bit, til I saw a comment underneath it mentioning the "Ti Amo speciale" and J-boy, so that was the next one and then the chemistry in my brain was forever altered because I fell IN LOVE with that song. Remains my favorite one til this day. The rest of my initial playlist followed soon after.
So by now it was almost the end of 2023, and it still hadn't occurred to me to look up their upcoming shows or something. I did discovered that they has come to my hometown at the end of 2022, shortly after I discovered their first song, and just assumed that they would return or come play somewhere near where I could attend. I'm not a big concert goer so traveling for a concert was not something I had considered at that point.
Around November 2023 I attended a wedding, and some of the people that were seated in the same table as mine made comments about how they were soon to attend the Corona Capital festival in CDMX and how one of their friends bailed and they had an extra ticket (reader, if you think that good news and a pleasant surprise are to come, you are about to be as disappointed as I was back then).
