Goddamn, she is REALLY trying to get me to go to a Lauryn Hill show in the year 2018.

But it's a Tuesday night! How am I supposed to work Wednesday when she starts her set at 12 AM? SMH.

13267733, One of these is not like the other. lol. At least you'll be getting your $$ worth

13267737, The Hollywood Bowl is THE ONE PLACE I wouldn't worry about it

we went on Sunday to the Flying Lotus show
Little Dragon
BadBadNotGood
Georgia Anne Muldrow

Tickets said showtime at 7PM

I figured that meant gates open at 7PM (yes, I've been to the bowl before, this was the 3rd time there actually)

We got there at 8PM...I figured we were good as I didn't hear any music on the walk up...might have missed Georgia...

...and then I can hear Little Dragon as we're still finding out seats...

at 8PM...WTF

we got there an entire hour after the advertised showtime and we missed 2 opening acts

Incredible venue and amazing show

I don't know how they do it, maybe something in the contract that gets acts to start their sets on time

...but I wouldn't worry about Lauryn going Lauryn at the bowl TBH...

Exchanging the how was your weekend with a coworker yesterday...he said his strategy is to show up at like 430PM and make a picnic out of it...SMH, YT pee poe

I believe the Hollywood Bowl is owned by the county.

Here in Atlanta, we have Chastain Park, and when they say they close at 11pm...they MEAN that shit. It doesn't matter who is performing. So artists have to start on time or they run the risk of getting the hook midway through their set.

I experienced the pros and cons of that. Shows generally start on time, with not a lot of break in between multiple artists. But, I've seen artists who were feeling it, and all of a sudden someone walks onstage and says, "Thanks for coming." Que the lights.
13267793, The downside, of course, is we get 45-60 minutes of Lauryn tops.

Which would be less than ideal for what I'm sure the price would be.
13267804, We got Promenade level 3 tix for $37

Had to watch the monitors for LD...but the layer-4 for FlyLo was fine from our seats

i.e. you won't see much of the stage directly...but you're there to listen anyway...right?

but yeah, you're gonna get an hour set tops

But if she can do the below, I'm there.
