Yesterday seemed like it was going to be an ideal day. It was a Saturday. The sun was shining. A fall wind was in the air.
And we had tickets to Post Malone. Now, I know what you're thinking. Post Malone is not necessarily my ideal concert, but Bri and Kiff are fans. And so, we got tickets to see him months ago.
I should have known something was up when I realized Emmie wouldn't be able to go because of the cold she had. She felt miserable. Bri had made other plans because she forgot, although she was planning to go once we reminded her. However, with Emmie's change of plans, we decided to let her stay home, too.
So now, it was just Kiff and I. But, we were going to have fun. We left at 5:00 for an 8:00 concert with plans to make it to the TD Boston Garden and have something to eat before the concert. We parked in the North Station garage and walked up through the garden. Then, we noticed Tasty Burger outside the garden and decided to give it a try.
We picked a good place. There was definitely no line - which would prove ironic later - and was not too crowded when we went in. Kiff had a milkshake, fries, and burger while I had nuggets and fries. The food was good, and as time went on, more and more concert goers came in. However, like most places, they were short staffed, so we waited a while for them to take our credit card (people around us took notice and had their's out when the wait staff brought the bill).
As we paid, we noticed a funny line being formed outside the garden. Now, having gone to many events at the garden, I found it unusual. I've never waited outside, But, some concerts give away those glowing watches, so I began to wonder if that is what was going on. Kiff kept wondering if we were waiting to get in - but from the people in front of us and behind us, as well as the people who held signs for "Post Malone" in the line, it was clear we were in the right place.
Around 7:20, it became clear why there was a line. Several people, either working for the TD Garden, or Post Malone, came out and said the concert was post poned. They gave no reason, other than that he "posted a note on social media." Honestly, they should have taken the time to tell us exactly what was happening because people in line could fine nothing posted on Instagram or Twitter.
Eventually word did pop up on social media. We felt bad - Post Malone was actually in the hospital. Our evening out definitely turned into a memory for a different reason....but that's okay. We will catch Post Malone when he comes around again and hope he recovers quickly.
