Another concert for the books! This September I was able to see Conan Gray at the Armory in Minneapolis. I was able to go with my mom. She wasn’t a huge Conan Gray fan, but his performance and songs was enough to get a 10/10 rating from her.
It felt like it took ages to get inside the venue. The doors opened around 6pm and we lined up a little after 3pm.
So cool.
As someone who has been to the armory twice, my advice is as follows:
- Line up early (if you want a front row spot)
- Get balcony seats (if you want a decent view without having your personal space violated for a few hours lol)
- Get merch towards the end of the show (merch lines will be slow to nonexistent)
- Know where you parked
- Make sure to check in with your body!
- Conan had to stop in the middle of a song because someone in the crowd needed medical attention
- Make friends in line/at the venue!
- Whether it’s just small talk, gushing about the artist, or passing out cute friendship bracelets.
How have you seen live? Any tips?

So I wanted my product spread to align with that. I decided to make the theme of the spread: things designers need. (That way I could scavenge my apartment for things…
