I trekked through the streets of Manhattan across the bridge to Brooklyn on a Friday night. It poured like cats and dogs the night of March 31. I entered the Warsaw: Polish National Home. That night I went to see Bebe Rexha and her opener Spencer Ludwig. This being my first time going to Brooklyn and seeing Bebe I was unsure of my concert experience and even more so when I discovered it was not an arena that I am used to.
