After some minor chilling in our room, I’m pretty sure I basically forced Maddie out of the bed and guilted her into going in search of food with me. Until it occurred to me that there was a good chance the merch tent was open.

At the last Eras tour that I went to (Cincy just to tailgate because I couldn’t get a ticket, the line for merch was over an hour long. Also, I wasn’t going to get merch for a concert I hadn’t actually attended.

We set out to see what we could see. I accidentally took her on the scenic route due to my terrible sense of direction. I’m blaming this one Greg because for the last 20+ years I don’t ever have to pay attention to where I’m going or how to read a map. So now I’m basically incompetent with any sort of direction following.

I pretty quickly figured out we weren’t in the right spot when the dot never made progress on the line. Thankfully Maddie had an idea of where to go. This fact was solidified when we saw three teenagers walking with an era tour bag. Follow those girls!

They mostly knew where they were going. Cue music!

Here we are with lots of our new besties…all waiting for merch.

Of course I needed a sweatshirt. After all I flew all this way and then drove a manual over an hour to get here.

Next up…dinner
