Mr(s) Mraz (10/27)

Seriously...why cant I just be her! I want to be Mrs. Mraz!

The day I got back from Vegas was the night of the Jason Mraz show and quite frankly, I wasnt sure how on earth I was going to gather the strength to fully enjoy myself...which is SO not like me, especially when it is my boyfriend Jason Mraz, but I was EXTREMELY exhausted from Vegas, dealing with a little bit of jet lag, and not to mention a headache that was kicking my ass.

Kerri and I went to a little dinner before hand after finding a kick ass parking space and after seeing the line to get in to the show. It seriously was wrapping around almost 3 full blocks! It is so bittersweet because I am like "Holy shit he has finally made it", but then I am like "Damn all these people...they can never love him like I do :)".

After dinner, we joined the crowd waiting in line and although it seemed like it would be awhile, we were to the door to show our ID's in about 15 minutes. The venue was definitely one of the coolest venues I have ever been to.





It looks like it used to be an old skating rink, not that you can tell, but the chandeliers really added an intimate touch, although the venue was HUGE.

Lisa Hannigan opened up and although Jason really loves her, I didnt really love her at all. There were a few songs that were ok, but for the most part, it was a little too 'folky' for my liking and I could hardly hear her. It very well could have been because I was grumpy and ready for the main event :)! So in fairness, I should give her another shot...and I did like her dress.

Jason took the stage after a very cool introduction, showing clips of him playing Guitar Hero and covering other music like 'Mercy' by Duffy and it was then that I woke up and was so jazzed about the evening ahead.

I wish I could recall the exact playlist and I am sure it is out there somewhere, but I must tell you it was an AWESOME show, with an even more AWESOME encore. He was so interactive with the crowd and just danced his little heart out. He even covered 'Buttercup', which unfortunately was one of our sorority's rush songs so I could not even sing along appropriately.


I had a blast, even though he didnt play my fave 'Details of the Fabric' (so so so jealous of you Heather) and I do hope to see him again soon...dont wait another 3 years for the Fillmore Jason!!!
