2024-Amsterdam (& Taylor Swift)

Going off the deep end

So, chatting with my sister Ann one day a few months ago, she mentioned that she’d like to go to a Taylor Swift concert in Miami… to which I replied, NO WAY (in case she was asking me if I’d want to go) (and she was).

Taylor Swift is a phenom, she said, a worldwide superstar, she said, and she’d like to be part of it all. I get it… I regret never going to a Michael Jackson or Prince concert back in the day (or any number of others… I really didn’t go to concerts much at all) (location, location, location) (and also $$).

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I read an article about a group of women who couldn’t afford tickets for a Taylor Swift concert in the US, so they went abroad. I chuckled & told Annie that I MIGHT consider THAT scenario, depending on the city.

What’s that they say? Give a mouse a cookie…???

Next thing you know, she’s checking her calendar, looking at concert tickets, and we’re booking airfare & lodging…

Ann on FB: Tickets to see Taylor Swift in Amsterdam ✅♥️🎉
What’s most amazing is my sister (who doesn’t even really know or particularly like Taylor Swift *YET*) is coming!! What are you supposed to do when the baby sister just has to go?!?! 😂 Looking forward to it, Vicki!!!!

Now she’s sending me texts to share her favorite songs, asking what are mine (???), sending Spotify playlists, and she just suggested that we try to memorize one song from each era!

It’s rubbing off… I don’t have a favorite song yet, but I am gathering supplies to make Swiftie bracelets!

I’m also playing around with my Provisional Press. There’s some tweaking to do to get some of that type to print properly, but that about sums up the current mood around here!
