Explaining the Experience: Astroworld Tour

Travis Scott has been having a year. Astroworld has been raking in cash and "Sicko Mode" just hit number one on the charts. Now after doing back to back shows on tour, Travis has announced a second round of touring. The man doesn't stop!

I am here to tell you today about one of the best concert experiences of my life. First, I should note that I am biased since Travis Scott is my favorite artist. However, I firmly believe his concerts are on a new level. I was fortunate enough to see him live in concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. As soon as you pulled up to the venue, decorations leapt out at you. The entrance to the stadium was covered by a giant Travis Scott head with it's mouth open wide to open visitors. To the left of that, a large and colorful ferris wheel was stationed to garner even more attention. Getting inside in and of itself was a hassle. People were literally pushing other folks down just to get ahead in line, and chants would start if they closed the doors for too long.

By a stroke of luck, one of our friends knew somebody who worked there and we were able to sneak in through a back entrance. This was it... I could hear the music pulsing from the stage. As we were being brought to the floor section, my heart began to beat faster and faster. It was time to rage.

We entered the floor section and started going wild! The opener was Sheck Wes and he had just started playing his hit "Mo Bamba." We danced and jumped as we simultaneously tried to inch closer to the front of the stage. After finally finding our spot, Sheck Wes played one more of his popular songs ("Live Sheck Wes") and then left the stage to prepared for the next artist. I had only enjoyed about 10 minutes of concert at that point, but I was still feeling great. The next two acts came out which included Trippie Redd and Gunna. Trippie had a fantastic performance while Gunna was somewhat subpar... UNTIL LIL UZI VERT CAME OUT! The surprise appearance by Uzi was once in a lifetime for me and he sang his hit "New Patek."

Now, it was time. As we waited for Travis to come on stage, ominous music played in the background. Crews were setting up the insane set pieces for Travis' performance, and I grew more excited every minute until finally...

The lights grew dim, and then AN EXPLOSION OF LIGHT AND FIRE! It had come from the other side of the stadium as Travis emerged on a second stage! As soon as he came out, "Stargazing" started blasting. The real concert had begun. I wish I could name all of the songs he played, but there were so many and so good that I simply cannot! Travis then utilized a roller coaster mechanism to come back to the stage closer to us. The rest of the concert consisted of insane dancing, mosh pits, yelling, sweat, and exhilaration. I was within 5 feet of my favorite artist, hell he looked me right in the eye as I was raging to his music! Travis does something to crowds I've never seen before, he keeps them going for the whole time, and it was an experience I will cherish for years to come.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
