Your best friend is a clutch. A phone, a card, and a lipstick? That’s all you need. Anything else is just stuff you’re anxious about losing.
And if you’re a person who “needs” a water bottle? Buy one inside. It’s cold, and you won’t have to guard it like a dragon.
The Quirky Fact
Did you know Union Stage’s bag policy is based on the “squeeze test”? Staff reportedly size your bag by how fast you can shove it into a locker. I made that up, but it sounds true.
Actually, they use a physical template. It’s a little box. If your bag doesn’t fit in the box, it doesn’t fit in the venue. It’s that simple. Like a goldilocks story, but for purses.
