Sincerely Jane ATL: My Janelle Monáe Concert Experience
On April 5th and 6th I had the pleasure of attending the concerts of one of my favorite artists Janelle Monáe. My uber fandom is not a secret. Actually, I usually broadcast it to everyone with statements like, “Have you heard of Janelle Monáe? Oh you haven’t? [whips out iPod] Let me play you a song.”
I haven’t crossed a song I didn’t like. (My compliments to the chef.)
Depending upon which night you decided to attend you were privy to either Metropolis Suite 2 of Suite 3 which have been combined to make Monáe’s first full length album The ArchAndroid. Not only was this a very thoughtful marketing ploy to get fans to attend both concert dates (both dates sold out), it also provided concert goers with an air of mystique and exclusivity providing each date with a unique concert experience.
The Chasemasters (fans of Ms. Monáe and #58721) were ballooned, feathered, and silly-strung. Fun³. And for those of us who were apart of this “transformative” experience on the 6th were able to tip on the tightrope with Sir Lucious Leftfoot.
Yup, I enjoyed myself. Catch a show in a city near you.
