My heart was pounding so quickly I thought it was going to fly out of my chest. I’ve been waiting almost a month for this and it’s finally happening.
I was at The Who concert.
My mom told me to pick something fun to do as a graduation present and as soon as I saw the concert online I knew this was the one. Tickets were kind of difficult to get because it was so close to the concert, but they were some of the best seats I’ve ever had at a concert.

After the last song, We Won’t Get Fooled Again finished and we left, we were still experiencing our post-concert high and spent the next hour on the Tri-met (It’s still under construction so we would have to walk to different stops) discussing how amazing it was and how nostalgic it made her because she would sing us their songs all the time when we were
