Yours truly has not been getting the sleep she requires. A few late nights (6am and 2am respectively one on a work night no less) make for a very tired young woman. And to think this week I vowed to start getting 8 hours of sleep a night......I'm failing miserably as I got about 8 hours in total over the two evenings. Sigh, there's always tomorrow.......

The weekend was wonderful, I loved loved loved Smiths/Morrissey fest and we danced well into the morning. It was hot as hell in that little room and most of the cute boys were taken by other cute boys but we had a lot of fun dancing and singing along. I ralso an into my high school chum once again and had a quick chat. We always seem to end up at the most random places.

We got in late and were woken up at ohhhh 7am by the people next door to us arguing. The girl was screaming "fuck you" something about a baby and the guy kept telling her to quiet down. This went on for a good 10 minutes before I turned into an 80 year old man and called the front desk to complain. It subsided however I was woken up once again a few hours later to nasty moaning sounds....apparently they were having loud make up sex, ewe! That eventually stopped and a little while later there was some coughing/moaning sounds that eventually trickled out into the hallway. WTF were these people doing? Some sort of choking foreplay in public....no idea, but we never heard them again thank god!







The following day we headed to the John Mayer concert and while he clearly needs to learn to keep his mouth shut while not performing....he has one hell of a voice and put on one amazing show! So we sit down in our wonderful 10th row seats and these two girls go by, one in a velour purple track suit and both wheeling suitcases....huh? The one had braids in her hair, perhaps they just flew back in from some far off vacation....but if that wasn't odd enough the one in the purple was sporting a tshirt that said and I quote "I love boobies"! LD was like "does her shirt say I love boobies???" It sure did........











The opening act was sooo energetic and fun, they're apparently from San Fran and I would go and see them again in a heartbeat. They ran around the venue, brought people on stage, they just had such a good energy about them not to mention some eye candy! LD and I were thoroughly entertained by the one bloke. So thumbs up to Michael Franti and Spearhead for putting on such a great show!








Ah back to Mr. Mayer, he sounded phenomenal, played until 11:45pm and shed clothes as the night progressed. He was hilarious, sang some inappropriate song about Valentines Day and almost had me in tears when he spoke of his friend Issac who was in the crowd. "Issac has to go to the hospital alot...." Awww my heart broke for this cute little boy, who's extremely ill, that part was quite sad. He handed out flowers to the crowd, sang like an angel and played the shit out of his guitar. I had a great time!

We went out dancing (again) afterwards and ended up hanging out until 6am with some people that we met that evening. It was a great weekend, best way to spend Valentines day in my opinon.......I'll take a sweaty John Mayer and time with my gal pal over a romantic dinner anyday.....that's probably reason #567 why I'm single :)

Great post. I like how you went from John Mayer to the opening band back to John Mayer....hehe totally entertaining.

Nice work taking a picture of that girls shirt on the downlow and even better work at staying out so late! I wish I had that kind of energy!

Claire said...

Haha, that shirt is too funny!

Cxx

You like John Mayer? I thought only fat chicks liked John Mayer.

Miss Ash said...

Rawbean, thanks! I wonder where I can buy one of those....I'm still trying to figure out what the rest of the shirt said!

Claire, it was hilarious!

WIGSF, I am fat so I guess your theory is correct. Ha!

First, 6 am isn't a late night, it's an early morning. You need some sleep Miss Ash. ha.

And glad the concert was enjoyable as 10th row is pretty sweet for any gig. But doesn't Mayer make some goofy-ass faces when he plays?

Finally, that hotel room story was just pretty damn funny & you should have tried to get a look at them at some point just to put faces to the sounds. Maybe not.

That sounds like a blast and I'll bet Mayer is great in concert. Screw the media, just listen to the music, right? lol

That hotel story is bizarre and one time my friends and I got involved in a domestic argument when staying at a hotel for a girls' trip and the guy was trying to come stay in our room! ha

Christielli said...

Wow! Glad you've been having so much fun! Your concert pics are great. I can never get good ones.

Love John Mayer as an artist. I am so envious of you. I am definitely planning to go myself.

Miss Ash said...

2DP, he sure does make some interesting faces but it's all good! As for peeking at the folks next door...of COURSE I was dying to see what they looked like!

Jlee, oh jeez, it's like we're a magnet for these things!

Christielli, trust me it's rare that they ever turn out, this time I took ohhhh about 100 and got a few good ones! That's the key, take a million to get one!

Yrautca, I thought of you while I was there, you would have enjoyed it! I'll email you some of the photos if you'd like.
