Seriously.
I. Saw. Beyonce. In Real Life.
Let me explain...
I have a tendency to find out about things happening in the city and just blow it off. Yesterday, I was bitching about the Kid Sister/Pusha T show, Vashtie Kola's b-day bash and Lupe's THREE gigs that I missed last week because of various BS reasons. That, on top of me missing Kelis, Nas, MIA, and Nina Sky all doing shows for less than $20 a few months ago had brought me to the conclusion that I needed to get it together. I told my sister how much I end up regretting it every time I missed/skipped something and I said I wouldn't do it again.
As soon as we got off the train in BK from a shopping trip to the city, I saw, on Twitter, a photo of Beyonce and Jay-Z arriving at the Met museum. I had remembered blogging (tumblr) about Daphne Guinness doing some performance art piece in the window of a store on 5th Ave for the Alexander McQueen exhibit that the museum was doing. I eventually put two and two together and hauled ass back to Manhattan.
I wasn't convinced that we'd (me and my sis) actually get anywhere near the museum, let alone close enough to see anything....Thank God I was wrong. As soon as we got to Park Avenue we could see the lights. If Kanye's song would've been playing, it would have been thee perfect moment. We literally ran..full speed...an entire block.
There was a crowd of folks just like us standing across from the red carpet. We found a spot and started going nuts. My memory of what happened after that is just as blurry as the pictures I attempted to take with my shitty camera.
The first person I spotted was Keri Hilson. She looked like a bonafide white woman. She was beautiful. I just thought she was a white lady at first. She was actually standing with a guy at the curb waiting for her car. After that, I saw everyone.
