Why Concerts at Mainstage Rule

Smaller venues mean bigger fun.

Everyone loves concerts. I know I do. I've seen Mike Posner, MGK, Wiz Khalifa, Chiddy Bang, Big Sean, and Ke$ha in concert. While seeing these big names sing some of my favorite songs are experiences I will always cherish and be grateful for; the concert experience itself was stressful.

Concerts at large venues, like the Lifestyle Community Pavilion in Columbus for example, are a lot of fun. Larger venues mean there is a larger capacity. A larger capacity means more people. More people means longer lines, more expensive drinks, and a lesser likelihood that you're going to get your hand touched by whatever performer you spent all the money in your bank account to see. And are you really seeing them, or are you seeing them on the jumbotron or mega screen?

Mainstage Morgantown is located conveniently in the downtown area. I've been to a few concerts at Mainstage, and those are the concerts that I regard as my favorite. You won't find yourself with nosebleed seats at Mainstage, mostly because there are no seats. Which is great, because everyone who bought a ticket knows, well hopefully, the performer, their music, and will vibe out with you.

At Mainstage, the performer can actually be seen from any part of the main room. It might take a minute for you to locate your friend, but it's not like it is at a music festival where if you separate it could be hours before you see each other again.

There is usually a drink special for each concert. For Cherub, the drink specials were mimosas (yaaaas.) There are two bars at which you can get drinks, and they are actually reasonably priced. Overall, the atmosphere at Mainstage is great. The lighting crew knows what they are doing which enhances the concert as every concert goer would agree.

But, the best part of concerts at Mainstage is that they feel personal. You aren't elbow to elbow with the person next to you and you don't have to push through a crowd of a thousand people to get a glimpse of the performer. At Mainstage, it's possible to leave your spot and make your way back. Also, it's not impossible to get to the front.

Who knows, maybe the performer will even come into the crowd like Jordan Kelley did or down a can of beer like Jason Huber. That being said, the Cherub concert was amazing. I got to meet the duo, Jason Huber and Jordan Kelley. They were amazing live and finished off their performance with their most popular song "Doses and Mimosas." Concerts at Mainstage are bound to be some of my most memorable.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
