J Events: 3 Upcoming CT Shows for $45 or Less!

August 11, 2014January 30, 2024ayminor

In light of the news about Danity Kane this weekend (I’m too hurt to speak on it now), it will be interesting to see if the boys’ reunion tour holds a different fate. I am anticipating some type of foolery, but I’m hoping for the best. I will report back.

**UPDATE: I had a feeling things wouldn’t go according to plan… the Day 26 concert has been postponed to September 3 due to “personal circumstances.”

Other concerts that may be of interest…

I was slightly embarrassed to post this concert, but now I have a legitimate reason: it turns out one of the opening acts “The Heydaze,” features three Penn undergrads! I may have to go just to support musicians from my alma mater. Tickets are $35.

Drake and Lil’ Wayne will be performing in Hartford on Wednesday at the XFINITY Theatre. I went back and forth for months, but after seeing Drake on Saturday Night Live and the ESPYS, I can say with certainty I regret not attending the Would You Like a Tour? tri-state concerts; though I have never been a Lil’ Wayne fan, I don’t want to pass up the chance again. Single tickets for lawn seat are $45, a 4-pack brings it down to $33.

J Music: The 20/20 Experience Tour (Hartford, CT)

November 18, 2013January 28, 2024ayminor

What you didn’t get with the Legends of the Summer Tour, you get 10x over with the 20/20 Experience Tour. As far as overall production — full-band, choreography, spectacular visual element, set list and design, ebb and flow — only show that almost touches Beyonce’s I Am… Tour (the best show I’ve ever been to two snaps). The show didn’t end until almost 12 a.m. in Hartford (on a weeknight) — the arena was still at capacity, with fans on their feet, until the end.

J Thoughts: Oh, the Places I’ll Go!

I have taken a bit of a summer hiatus from my blog, but I miss it so much! My blog keeps me active and inspired as I experience and learn new things and look to share them.

I think we all find in the summer, however, that if anything there is too much to see and do as it is a great time to travel and spend time with family and friends. Halfway through what has been a busy summer, I wanted to share some of my favorite memories.

Miami, Florida

Miami beach was everything I needed. Clean, not too crowded and the water was the perfect temperature. No sea creatures spotted in sight.

Charleston, South Carolina

In town for my family reunion, I am glad we took the time to do a carriage tour in downtown Charleston. You get a brief history lesson while viewing gorgeous million-dollar estates.

Hartford, Connecticut

It’s always good to take advantage of the things to do in your home state. Had a great time at a Rock Cats game this weekend. (The Rock Cats are the Double-A minor league baseball affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.)

All my traveling have inspired a new goal — visit all 50 states!
