What!? Another pop-up!?
Having gone the first time he did this back in April, I started flashing back to the 3 hour wait in line and wondered if it was even worth it. Then I thought twice and said to myself, โDrake did give us free shirts last time, so maybeโฆโ, just maybe he might give out some more free gear.
I found outย Drake has 4 shows for his Summer Sixteen tour at the Madison Square Garden this week, so the pop-up would be open all 4 days rather than the 1 day they had before. There is no way they would have a shop open 4 days and not want money right?
I arrive mid-afternoon to a line ofย about 300 or so Drake fans and counting. From teenagers to middle-agers, drakes eclectic fan base always makes for interesting โpeople watchingโ.
I know the drill, so I hop in line and start to wait..wait..wait..waitโฆwait.ย Drizzy had us all right where he wanted, like โControllaโ.
I wasย one of the last 20 people allowed inside before the shop closed for the day. ย After all that wait, at least 100 people got sent home. One guy honestly looked like he was going to cry!ย Fans might be โOut here looking for Revenge!โ
I get home then tell myย partner about my day and her reaction was perfect:
โSo you just waited in line all day just to walk into a store and buy something? Your so cure babe but thatโs ridiculous!โ
Apparently she thinks I am crazy for waiting in line hours, just to spend money in a store. Are pop-up shops a good idea? Or is it all just ridiculous? Would you wait in line for hours just to buy merch from your favorite artist? Rate the the Summer Sixteenย pop-up experience. Tell us what you think in the comments.
