Future Past Tour Footprint Center Phoenix AZ
Early in 2022, I found out that Duran Duran, my favorite band of all time, would be having a show in Phoenix. I was so excited I posted on Facebook, asking who wanted to go with me. I didn’t expect my lifelong bestie, who lives on the other side of the country, to say she wanted to go and would fly out. I was so excited! We hadn’t seen each other in so long. So I paid $35 to join the fan club for a year, so I could get in on the members-only ticket presale. A week later I have tickets to see Duran Duran.
It was a long 6 months between buying the tickets and picking my girl up at the airport. I left my town, 3 hours from Phoenix, with enough time to make a side trip to my favorite bookstore. Or so I thought. When I got to Bookman’s I sent my mom a text and told her I’d arrived safely. She asked if I had checked on my friend’s flight, I should have had about an hour to kill. SHOULD HAVE, Nope, her flight was landing! So I ran out of the store and hurried to the airport. I sat for maybe 10 minutes. I sent her a text and said to text me when she got out of baggage claim. She sent me a text right back. Holy cow! So around and around I went.
The concert was amazing. We had so much fun that whole week.
One of the most amazing moments was when they sang Ordinary World and dedicated it to Ukraine. I won’t ever listen to that song the same again. The jumbotron screen during the song.
and here we are. Friends since we were 14
