BANKY W CONCERT AT TRIBECA - MISSED IT!

Grrrrrhhhh! I still can't believe I missed Industry Nite @ Tribeca last night. It was a special valentine concert featuring Mr Capable..Banky W. I really, really wanted to be there to see him live in concert and also to see my friend, Jibola Olubiyi of SWE Bar.

I keep telling myself I wasn't meant to be there cos yesterday all the odds were stacked against me..

First, it was on a 'wednesday night'... a bit tricky with work the next day.. Hmm! OK, no biggie this is work for me so I thought, fair enough but then my driver pulled a joker on me..No Show! 

I refuse to drive in Lagos, it's way too scary so I loaned my mother's driver but his working day ends at 5pm(ideally)..Crumbs! 

Still I was determined to go, so I made a few calls and the car situation was sorted - A friend agreed to pick me up…Phew! 

Thinking that was me sorted..I smiled. Now all I had to do was get home from work, change and be off to the concert of the year. Yipee!  So I packed my work bag, cleared my desk still smiling to the car but absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the traffic ahead. For the next 3 hours I sat in traffic (no yipee!), while I kept clock watching..The event was due to start at 8pm…hmmm …"how would I have enough time to get changed? " I kept asking myself but I was unusually calm…I finally got home at 7:45pm and even if I moved at the speed of light it would have still taken me at least 1 hour and 30minutes to get ready (usually takes me like 2 hours on a good day. You know makeup, try on different clothes..etc, etc, Oh well, a  girl has to look good, right?)  I wasn't too keen on leaving for a concert at 9pm with all the Lagos madness,traffic, robberies, kidnappings etc etc..but still I considered making an exception for Banky W but what finally put paid to my wednesday night in bed was my beloved Blackberry. The battery was on the last amber bar! I closed my eyes and hoped the charger was in my bag as I quickly rummaged through but noooo…I left it on my desk at work!!!!! Ahhhhhhh! 

Zero battery life equals Zero communication, Zero contact with friends, Zero emergency calls..you get my drift? and yes I had a Zero night in…:( I'm guessing it was a fabulous event afterall Banky  is a great singer but hey..I will certainly score higher than a Zero for effort but unfortunately on this occasion I have Zero to report…sowwy :(

Now Mr Capable-Banky W, surely you are capable of holding another concert soon, but please make it happen midday on a Saturday..I'm getting too old to rock midweek. If you do, I promise I'll come with a gang of peeps like me that prefer to rock when its not so dark...LOL! 

Meanwhile your CD on playback, Suya (strictly from Megaplaza) and a can of coke will have to make do…
