Luke Bryan Show
I was transported to the holodeck early one morning as I was
watching a Luke Bryan video. The setting that I was now in was the front yard
of my old apartment. Standing nearby were about 40 people; a few of them looked
like former classmates. Cars had been cleared from the area in front of us and
approximately 80 more people were standing in the street.
There was a stage
on the sidewalk and part of the grass across the street. Luke Bryan was moving
around and singing on it; he was doing a cover version of Neil Diamond’s “Song
Sung Blue”. I was thrilled to see him but was also thinking that it was unusual
that he had chosen to perform that tune.
After the song,
Luke said that he would be back as soon as he was done judging a pie contest.
This was being held up at the community center. That was also pretty strange. I
wish that I could have gone to see this but we were told that we all had to
stay there.
This mini-concert
and the contest was being filmed for a special on CMT channel. I heard a girl
telling her friend this. I also found out that this event was part of a
contest. The grand prize winner would have Luke perform in his or her
neighborhood and up to 10 friends/family members could be there. The rest of
the crowd were contest winners too.
The very lucky
person turned out to live in the middle apartment of the unit next door. This
time, I did not live at our old place. The woman that did came outside during
the break. Her 2 cute doggies, a spaniel/collie mix and a terrier mix, were
with her. I went over to them and pet the doggies and talked to their owner for
a little while.
I did wonder why
they didn’t just have the concert in the field behind the location that it was
taking place. That would have made much more sense than blocking off the street
and having people move their cars. I’ve been to other concerts, including Duran
Duran, in that field. Even though this was a somewhat odd spot for such an
event, I was thrilled to be there.
About 25 minutes
later, and announcer/host said that Luke would be returning in 5-6 minutes. The
girls nearby me were very excited about this. Michelle had her camera with her
and showed me some of the pictures that she had taken of him so far. They all
were nice.
We were happy when
Luke was back on the stage. He performed 4 songs- “I Don’t Want This Night to
End”, “Play It Again”, “That’s My Kind of Night” and “Country Girl (Shake it
for Me)” He put on a good show, as always. I was wishing that I had gone to his
concert at MSG this year in reality.
The grand prize
winner, a girl in her mid-20s, got to go onto the stage with Luke afterwards.
He talked with her and gave her a hug. I was a little jealous of her.
My appearance was
in my late 20s as were my classmates for this storyline. I was glad that my
alien friend had programmed it for me. I have only been to a few country music
events in the holodeck.
I was back in my
room a minute later watching Luke in “Roller Coaster”. They have been showing
that video way too much lately.
