My best friend and I have been looking forward to the Bruno Mars concert for months. When the lights went down right at 8 pm, we were thrilled. Unfortunately for the concert goers, Dua Lipa took the stage for 40 minutes. All those with whom we spoke had no idea there would be a pre-show or who she was. There was no talent and her appearance and some lyrics were vulgar. As for Bruno Mars, his show was phenomenal. The one problem was that his show started almost 45 minutes, at 9:28, after Ms. Lipa left the stage. By the time his show was over it was a little after 11 pm. Too late for those of us with travel times of more than an hour and morning church services the next day. The Capitol One center doesn't allow bottles of water ($5!) to have the caps on them as they are a danger in case the lids are thrown. This meant water being spilled since the cup holders don't securely hold the water bottles they sell and bottles on the floor are spilled when people come and go from their seats.
