Loving me some John

Ok - let's start this post by saying I LOVE Jennifer Aniston. Love, love, love. Favorite actress of all time, hands down. Don't try to have the "every movie she makes does horribly" conversation with me either, cause you won't win. I won't change my mind. Love is love. I haven't seen a Brad Pitt movie since the divorce - enough said. I say this because knowing my love for Jen you may wonder, how I could also love John Mayer? Basically no one should believe Jen is sad over this break up - yeah right. Look at her, she is fine. Secondly, obviously John is confused about love - just listen to his wonderfully depressed music. She is better off.

Now that I have cleared that up, on to the point...

Back in February, my sweet Ben bought us John Mayer tickets. I was more than ecstatic and immediately the countdown to March 30th began. Every couple weeks I would remind him it was coming and he would have me double check that the tickets were still in place. I put my John playlist on repeat and spent my work hours listening to John Mayer lyrics until FINALLY the day came! Let me just say - he did not disappoint. What an amazing artist he is. It was exactly how I would picture a John Mayer concert - a guy, his guitar, his awesome voice and incredible musicians surrounding him. I could have listened to them all night. My favorite part was when he came out all alone and sang some faves, just him and his guitar - perfect.


I should also note that John thanked the audience quite a few times for purchasing tickets and supporting his music. That doesn't always happen - I was very impressed. How about little sampling for your listening pleasure.... maybe you'll understand my obsession.

"My Heart Will Go On..."

Tonight was my lucky night! A friend of mine got Celine Dion tickets, in a party suite, and invited me to go along.

Celine is AAaawwwESOME! Her show is so incredibly amazing and entertaining. I didn't realize I would love her show so much, but everything - even down to her jewelry with wardrobe changes - were fabulous.

As I was enjoying the concert I realized something very important. I think if Celine and I knew each other we would be great friends! Aside from her being amazingly talented and six feet tall we are almost the same! I think this for the following reasons:
- She made a bird noise on stage. I also make bird noises!
- She changed her clothes 6 times during the show, I also like changing my clothes!
- She has AWESOME shoes! I also like shoes.
- She dances really well. I dance, but not well.
- She has a microphone stand studded in diamonds. If I had a microphone stand, it would most definitely be covered in diamonds!
- She fist pumps at the end of a log note - hilarious!
- She sang a song in French, if I was a man I would have fallen in love right there.

Apparently when you are sitting in a suite at the Rose Garden they don't allow flash photography or video cameras. Ok, first of all... weird. Second of all... anyone who knows me knows that being without my camera makes me extremely anxious. ESPECIALLY when I am at a Celine Dion Concert! Needless to say, I didn't get any pictures on my camera, but here are a couple from my phone.


If you ever get a chance, definitely see her show!
