one night love affair.

Pretty much the best show ever. ever. ever. Bryan Adams is SO incredibly adorable and amazing. In. Love.

Besides Bryan, the best part of the evening was the 38-year-old couple from Chicago who decided to befriend me and Sara. Sara and I had a pitcher of sangria before the show, so when we got there we were taking it easy (especially after the rough Sat. night). So when they asked us if they could buy us drinks, we said no thanks. "Well...if you were going to have a shot, what kind would it be?" Uhhh. Five minutes later, the woman is back with shots. I don't think these people stopped talking to us the entire night. They were crazy insane and kept telling us how they had been drinking since 2 p.m. and handing us more drinks. Everyone around us was like wtf? Sara and I were pretty amused though, so we just went with it. They LOVED us. And they were sure to give us their phone number and e-mail and are insisting we go visit in Chicago. Well, what do you know...looks like all the cool people are in Chicago :)

Definitely the most interesting crowd at a concert ever. Lots of older people, but still some young. The Chicago couple started the convo with us by saying, "you're not really Bryan Adams fans are you?" Ummm, yes! "Name one song he sings!" So we named a whole bunch and they were impressed. I don't care how old you are; you should know Bryan Adams.

The Paradise is an amazing place to see a show because it's soo tiny and intimate. It was freaking hot in the place though. Bryan commented on it and right away, they turned on the AC. But then it blew all his music down, so they had to turn it off. We had to wonder why Bryan was reading music? Had he not memorized his songs yet? The show was acoustic and was just Bryan, sitting on the stage all alone. Beautiful.

I am in Bryan heaven right now. Legit. Add him to the list of older men I would, um yeah, fall in love with.

I uploaded a few videos, but you'll have to excuse the fact that I was apparently trying to out-sing Bryan. I should have shut up, but the place was like one huge singalong. You don't think anyone's listening to you until you play back your audio. I'm not even going to post "Heaven," because I pretty much butchered it with my singing. Eh. Also, I hope I don't put you into epileptic shock with my horrible video taking skills.



"When You Love Someone"



"Summer of 69"

A little gross and hot, but happy beyond belief.

Swoon.

everything i do....

Tomorrow night I'm going to see Bryan Adams. Can we talk about how excited I am? You can joke and laugh all you want, but the man is a legend and it's going to be SO amazing to see him. I'm sure I will be crying with happiness (me and Sas seeing a loved musician together is probably not a good thing!) We're celebrating our Seis de Mayo at Zocalo, which is a Mexican restaurant I've been wanting to try forever. Also, they have 11 different kinds of sangria. Yesss, just a minor detail. Then we're getting to the Paradise ridiculously early so we can try to get up front and center. It's a super small and intimate venue and Sas and I are determined to get our pictures with Bryan. Ohh, it will happen!

It was a fabulous weekend involving the birthdays of some of my fave people. Saturday night turned into a bit of a mess and ended with me losing my keys and having no way to get into my apt, Nina being dead to the world and not hearing me call her 18 times in a row, Sas's boyfriend leaving the bar without us, and Sas and I being left by everyone having no clue what was going on. Unable to get a cab in the lovely city of Boston and it pouring rain outside and freaking cold, we made the trek to her apartment, took a short break for pizza, and passed out at her place. My keys have yet to be found. Which annoys me beyond belief because I know I had them when I left my apartment and I know I did not take them out of my purse for anything. Anyway, I made copies of Nina's keys today, and tomorrow I'll go get a new gym card and hope they don't try to charge me. Besides all of that, the night was quite fun.

Work is crazy as usual. Or crazier than usual I should say. But it's a new goal of mine to stay on top of my Google Reader and not let it get out of control anymore (600 new posts? Not cool). So, I should be back in action right away!
