Twitter Encounter
Not like that.
I was driving home from work yesterday, heading east on Hollywood Blvd when I passed the Music Box. The marquee informed me that Childish Gambino/Donald Glover was going to be performing that night. As soon as I got home I checked to see if there were tickets left. SOLD OUT.
Sadness. I love Donald Glover. He was that kid in some 30 Rock episodes who then wrote for 30 Rock. I majored in Television. That pretty much shot him to idol-status at the time. My friends and I were jaws to the floor when we heard he was doing that. Yeah, he’s awesome in Community and I love Childish Gambino but alsooooo he wrote for 30 Rock. I do like his rhymes though and not just because he mentions mixed chicks in every song. Seeing that the show was sold out, my little heart was defeated.
So I posted a tweet about it.
Here’s a question. WHY AM I NOT SEEING CHILDISH GAMBINO @DonaldGlover IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE MUSIC BOX TONIGHT?! #lifefail
Very shortly after that I received a reply from someone I didn’t know.
Good question. you should. i have an extra ticket if you’d like…
Long story short, I took a chance. I stopped making dinner, ran out of my house and down the Music Box to meet this guy who offered me a Childish Gambino ticket for whatever I could afford.
Worry not, I made him promise not to kill me over twitter and I had told a couple of friends what I was doing so they’d know if I went missing. Robert Stack’s voice from Unsolved Mysteries was narrating my entire walk to the venue.
I did not go missing. I got to see a really awesome show for $5 and met someone new! It was all very exciting and very out of character for me. I probably won’t do it again but for this one night it worked out!
How was the show? Well, he took the g out my waffle, all I got left is my ego.
You’re probably gonna want to pop your earphones in if you listen to this at work.
Oh and should this ever reach Donald Glover somehow, I would just like to note that I was the tall, mulatto girl with plastic black frames standing squarely in the middle of the floor. I’m not saying you saw me but just in case. Just saying. That was me.
