So, a little late - it wasn't today, but last Thursday, so almost a week ago.
My youngest has this band they like, named Raspberry Pie. Their deal is that they are a 70s style disco/funk band from Florida, and they take it seriously - several have afros, and they wear polyester clothes, silk shirts with flyaway collars, platform shoes, the WORKS.
They played in our beloved city last Thursday, and I accompanied the kid, who is active on the band's Discord server. We were waiting outside the venue (a gay bar/club) when the band walked in, and they recognized my kid (who had brought their 2023 calendar to get signed) and greeted them enthusiastically. The kid felt special, the band was excited, and after the opening band (a really talented group named Shrubb, who seem very influenced by Snarky Puppy), Raspberry Pie gave a great performance, my kid shook their ass and made new friends, and afterwards the band took turns signing the calendar yearbook style, each leaving these long messages to them.
I was basically a tagalong, but I had a FANTASTIC time. Life is good.
