Parking is almost always an issue. For my first event, The Lion King, my friend Quiz dropped Kelly and me off at the door. We had a long, cold walk back to the car after the event wasover. In Roanoke, my friend Misty and I boarded a shuttle bus to get a ride to the Civic Center.
At the Carolina game, my brother and I paid $10 for the privilege of leaving my car (which broke down) in a pot-hole filled lot and then hiking a mile.
Once you get to the event, there normally isn't a lot of leg room, or any kind of room. There definitely isn't room for the big purse that I usually carry. I've spent many an event awkwardly attempting to shove my bag under my seat or move it out of the way when someone stumbles drunkenly down the aisle.
I decided in Roanoke that this would not do. I took the essentials: license, debit card, lip gloss, phone and camera and put them in a small bag that fit on my wrist. That probably looked a little silly because this was a bag I bought to go with my bridesmaids dress for a friend’s wedding. This worked well at the concert. I could wear my bag on my wrist and not have to worry about a bulky bag, while carrying all the essentials.
I decided then that I needed a less formal bag. I got this from TJ Maxx. I just carry the essentials and it works great.
The only problem now is that I want to permanently downsize, but I just can’t seem to make myself do it!
