The Billie Eilish event this grand dude saw with you, Emma & Haden was live concert #197 for me – (cover & local bands not included). What a night; it was one of the best of the best.

After eating at Hub Hall we tried pizza, fries and Mike’s Pastry cupcakes (meh on all three), we entered Boston Garden and made our way to the Billie merchandise tables where I bought the three of you sweatshirts, hats and socks.

You were all mesmerized, transported to a world of pure joy.  For you, seeing Billie is akin to me having seen the Beatles in their early touring years (had I actually done that).

The set designs and special touches were amazing… a giant screen with high resolution images… a ramp Billie walked up and down and into the crowd…colorful laser lights… white boxes images on which images were projected… white paper confetti “snow” released at the end.

Besides being a captivating, thoughtful, oh-so-natural performer, she’s a generational icon, a social activist leading on diversity, positive body image, climate change and mental health.

Only 20 years old!

When she “visited” her fans in a giant lift that rotated 360 degrees, Billie was eye level with us several times. I looked over and said “Billie’s looking right at you!” and was met with “I love you Billie” and “Oh-my-god” screams of pure joy.

I was blown away (boomer talk) with the whole experience. One of my favorite concerts ever in a lifetime of concerts, 

So epic being there with you. I’m the luckiest grand dude in the world.
