Making my way through the crowd I spill part of my frosty beverage on a girl in front of me. I was extremely apologetic, she says "It's all good bro", I thought that was cool. As I wedged myself into a space meant for oxygen, I realized I was right in front of a lady and now blocking her view. I asked her to move in front of me as she was there first. She replied " I don't think my husband would like that" pointing at her very large companion. I turned to apologize to him he acknowledged the gesture with a high five and a friendly nod letting me know he would not be hurting me.
As the concert continued, a guy crowd surfing falls to the floor right at my feet taking a couple people down with him. Everyone helped them up and hoisted the surfer back in the air to make his way towards the stage.
After the band was done, my friends and I met out front in a lounge that was attached to the theatre. Everyone was festive. So as I'm people watching, I see a well known NHL hockey player standing their with his girlfriend. I extended my hand and complimented his Black Label Society (heavy metal band) jacket and his great career. After a drink, introducing me to his friends and taking a picture together, we went our separate ways.
A night without prejudice. A night where accident's happen and all is forgiven. A night where everyone is happy. A night where you can talk to a complete stranger and it seems normal. If life were only like a concert.
