Skizzy Mars Concert Part 2

Much earlier in my blog posts I wrote about one of my favorite up and coming artists, Skizzy Mars. I was lucky enough to go and see him in concert back in October and it was an awesome experience. Now more recently I was lucky enough to go to yet another concert of his in Iowa City. The concert was originally supposed to be on a Friday night, and practically everyone I talked to in Cedar Rapids had a ticket. Unfortunately about 4 hours before the concert Skizzy sent out a tweet stating that he would not be able to perform due to an illness he had and would not be able to perform until next Wednesday, which pissed a lot of people off to say the least. After the first cancellation basically everyone got refunds and I really thought about it, but I decided since he was one of my favorite artists and I had two days until Spring Break I would still go. It was not worth it. When we first got there it was about 10 minutes until Skizzy came on, expecting the place to still be pretty full. To my somewhat pleasant surprise we were able to waltz our way right to the second row because the venue was only about a fourth full. (356)
