Odd Post-Birthday Concert Happenings

So two days ago, I turned 26. And yesterday I went to see my friends in Anxious play a show in New Haven while they were on tour with pop-punk giants The Wonder Years, who were celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their album The Greatest Generation. There was one bizarrely relevant incident for every band that played and I feel like I have to write about it just to document how weird it was. A band called Action Adventure kicked things off. During their set, their vocalist made a remark about stretching before moshing and followed it up by saying that he "wasn't 26 anymore". I smirked and thought it was funny. Next, a band called Sweet Pill took the stage. According to their guitarist, the band's vocalist also had her birthday the day before and since they didn't play a show then, he had the whole venue wish her a happy birthday. I stood there and thought "yo, birthday twin!" and had another laugh. When Anxious played next, they closed with Growing Up Song, which I knew would probably be the case because they always finish with that song but even still it felt more relevant than usual for me. Lastly, The Wonder Years came on and started playing The Greatest Generation, but the second track on that album is literally about being 26 and feeling like you've fallen behind in life. I had no idea this was the case and I was dumbstruck at the coincidence. If nothing else, I'm comforted that I'm in a better spot than many others were at my age, such as The Wonder Years guy. That's all I have for now, I just wanted to get all of this weirdness out of my head and on a page.
