The Final Curtain Call
My eyes open and I can hear the hubbub of the crowd on the other side of the curtain. I take a deep breath and ever-so carefully, lightly graze each string on my guitar to double-triple check the tuning, ensuring not to accidentally pluck one loud enough to be heard in the audience. I'm staring at the glowing red power lights of my foot pedals, as they pierce through the darkness and the slight blueish hues of the stage wing lights. The remaining performers creep out from stage right, and make their way into their starting positions for the opening number.

Hip Hop Concert during the Summer of 1999
Strobe lights and neon green lights, waved in and out of my face like magic wands during the Hot Boys concert in Detroit. It was the summer of 1999 and I was ready for fun. This would be my first hip hop concert in years. That night, one of my good friends in the crowd, vowed to jump the stage and twerk for backstage tickets with some guy from magnolia. I was so hyped, I almost forgot that I was wearing a short dress with some high heels. I had a spiked, 14 inch ponytail, with a china doll bang. When the green light beamed across my face, you could see the glare on my hair from oil sheen and pump it up spritz. My eyebrows were arched and my eyes were accented with eyeshadow. My lip gloss was thick and clear. When the smog cleared, I caught a glimpse of some Hot Boys from magnolia. I knew that it was a step up, but then again I could handle the outsiders from magnolia. The look outs, I call them. Anyhow, after daydreaming about the magnolia boys and admiring some of their gold teeth, bird chest and baggy jeans, the main act started. Suddenly, the stage got dark, a green beam of light like a wand, waved in my face. The crowd got hype and the Hot Boys main act began. The crowd opened their cell phones and flicked their lighters. During the intermission, the Hot Boys had a twerking contest. My good friend jumped on stage with cute jeans on. Next thing I know, she disappeared and the lights dimmed. The smell of marijuana over powered the crowd and blended in with the fog. The green light beamed across my face. Hot sweat evaporated from our bodies, and into the crowd. A guy from the Eastside of Detroit started jitten during the second intermission. I instantly fell in love with his swag, while he danced in the circle. More boys joined him as they took turns doing the native dance of Detroit.
