Hello and Welcome! This is my 6th blog post! For this blog we were asked to use the scene from Blog 5 and make it counterfactual. For this blog I asked myself “what if the weather was different?” and “What would’ve happened if it was a nice sunny day?”
My friends and I bought tickets to go see a concert at Penn's Landing. Before the concert I checked the weather. I noticed that on the day of the concert it was supposed to be a thunderstorm. I took a screenshot and sent it to a group chat with the friends I was going with. James quickly replies “whocares I am still going” Five more of them emphasize James’s message. I texted back “I guess if you guys are with it I’ll still be with it” It's the day of the concert and it was dark, cold, and rainy. It was 12 p.m. and the concert started at 7 p.m.. We all got dropped off at the trolley stop in the middle of town. Our plan was to take public transportation down. We all had big heavy rain coats on. Once we got to the city the storm was ten times worse than it was back home. I turned to my friend John and asked “Do you want to go home?” John looked at me with confusion and said “No way!” We arrived at the concert and it was a long line to get in. James says to us “I wish I went home this sucks!” The worst part about this day was that the concert was outside. When we were waiting in line the rain suddenly stopped and the clouds opened up. The sun was so bright when it was shining through the clouds. It was like a miracle that the storm flew by. John yelled across the people “Paul and James lets get closer!” The three of us started to push through the crowd. It took forever to get up to the front but we finally did. John said to James and I “I can’t believe you guys wanted to leave, we would have missed out on this awesome concert!” James quickly said “It was all Paul he’s the one who wanted to leave.” I explained to them “I honestly did not feel like standing here in the pouring rain all night.” James agrees with me “Yeah, this would’ve sucked if it was raining.” The concert seemed really fast to me. I guess time does fly when you're having fun. Towards the end of the night John asked “Do you guys want to take the train or uber?” James replied “I don’t really care I am fine with either.” I agreed “Yeah, I don’t care how we get home?” John explained “Let’s just call an uber I don’t feel like waiting for the train.” The three of us walked a block or two and John called an uber. It was a long but very fun day.

when you have experience you would make a better decision. The counterfactual like a one more opportunity in your life.

That sucks that the rain ruined the concert. Sounds like it would've been a blast if the weather was good. Had that happen to me at a Phillies game.

I like the story and the ideas behind it, bu the format it a bit dense. It makes the story look lengthy and a bit hard to read. Other than format I think this was a good counterfactual.
