for the love of Jason

 Jenn and I went to the sold out Jason Mraz concert. It was FANTASTIC!! Actually, it was more than fantastic. We were super close and even though we had to stand for 5+ hours, we had a wonderful time. 

I planned on writing a fabulous story about mine and Jenn's adventures at the concert, but alas, haven't really felt like blogging as of late. But let me tell you...Jenn was so funny and a true fan that night. If she could have gotten away with sneaking in his tour bus, I'm sure she would have tried. 

Here's the overview though:

• Leaving the car at a sketchy parking spot where the people taking the money told us we caught them trying to watch a porno. Yep. 
  
• Dinner at Tom's Diner. it was a lovely greasy spoon. (oh how i miss Shortcakes in Stilly)
  
• Waiting in line to get inside for over an hour with a variety of individuals. I.e. scalpers, smokers, giddy teenage girls with their parents, those girls,  a man trying to give away his half eaten pizza, girls trying to pass out Red Bulls, homeless men asking for money, etc. 
•  Catching a glimpse of Jason in the tour bus. (while Jenn continuously tried to get a photo of him in the bus)
• Funny quotes that I'll remember forever. ("Bastards, they closed the blinds")
• Finally getting inside and being in the very front.
• Lisa Hannigan--the opener from Dublin, Ireland. Fabulous.
• Jason!!! Oh, so yummy.
• Standing next to those girls. (who threw their bra on stage and danced drunkenly throughout the entire night)
• Toca
• tired and achy feet...but who cares? It's Jason
• A girl playing her ukulele when Jason sang "I'm Yours"
• Jenn almost beating up those girls, because they knocked her camera out of her hand on purpose when she was in the middle of recording a video
• Jason!!
• Getting great photos!
• an overall fantastic show

So, yeah. It was great. I'm so glad I was able to go!!
