This is definitely one of those rare times I'm posting from a proper laptop computer rather than my phone. Because it's missing. It went missing on my way to my seat last night. But by the time Lindsey got on stage and the show started, I barely found myself caring. Melissa and Ammie had pictures and video covered for the night.
The show was amazing, and I cried some here and there throughout it. I've never loved the arts so much as I did last night. Art reveals part of who we are inside. One of the best lessons I ever took from Lindsey Stirling is how to take the pain and turn it into art. Seeing her live has been a major dream for many years.
Also, when I saw her in the skeletal wings frame at the end of the show, I knew what the next song would be immediately. Eye Of The Untold Her Echo In The Dark featuring Chrissy Costanza is one of my absolute favorites of her music, right up there with Shatter Me featuring Lizzy Hale.
I honestly can't say enough to express just how overjoyed I am to have been able to go see my favorite artist with friends. Yes, I have merch. How could I go without money to spend on souvenirs? I got a t-shirt and bag, and am relieved both are entirely made of cotton rather than polyester or something. Ammie got each of us a cup from the venue's gift shop that says Wolf Trap on it.
There's no forgetting this adventure easily. I'm making sure of it. It was very Three of Cups for me. Or perhaps, in this case, 'three of strings', instead. Now it's back to Maryland from Virginia, and we're off to stop in Baltimore for a while.
