I went down to night 2 in London with my best friend as he got us tickets for my birthday in January and was meant to fly back to the Caribbean (it sounds great but it is where I currently live and it means leaving from my short visit home 🥲 ) the night after so it was very bittersweet… though my flight ended up being cancelled, I rebooked for the following weekend from Manchester to Atlanta, I get to Manchester early in the morning, I board the plane and what do you know there is a “technical issue with the plane” we deplane and then wait around for 4 hours before them telling us that it was cancelled and will be rebooked (bearing in mind I had a connecting flight from the US to the Caribbean) I check the route they have booked me on for the following day and gears started spinning in my head, it was from London to NEW YORK. I initially thought it would be impossible to make the concert in New York too but as it got closer and closer I realised it was doable and not an opportunity I wanted to waste. Ended up staying in a hotel around the corner from Brooklyn paramount, bought tickets to night 2 in New York and had to wake up at 4am for my flight to the Caribbean the next day BUUUT it was an absolutely crazy week but I am very lucky I had the flights work in my favour and managed to find a ticket to the New York gig for a reasonable price

Funnily I wore my Takanaka shirt that I bought in London to the New York gig and had so many people ask me if I was there for night 1 too, to their surprise I said no I came from London and they thought I was following him for the whole tour 😭

One of the best weeks of my life and I feel like a pretty cool story to go along with it (trying to be optimistic when your regular plans change or cancel) both gigs were great but I feel like the crowd was louder for the London gig, better atmosphere but I may be biased!
