L.A. to SAN DIEGO!
A few weeks ago we went to the Hollywood bowl for their Summer Sounds concert and crafts. The kids had a really fun time. Last time the theme was Peru. They did some songs and dancing from this country and then a craft that went with the theme.
We went back again yesterday and the theme was Africa!
We die over this kid that works there in the red shirt. He is about 10 going on 25! He talks so mature and is entertaining to watch on the microphone as he explains how to do the crafts.
While we were there making the craft we all felt a pretty good earthquake. The epicenter was where Jenny's family lives and we could not get a hold of them for a little while. Everyone is OK but Jenny's mom said that all the pictures and clocks on her walls fell down. Bryan told me that the actual epicenter was on the 9th hole of his old golf course... crazy!
Jenny and I stopped and did some shopping at the fabric and garment district in downtown L.A. on our way home. Then I came home to shower and left for the John Mayer concert in San Diego.
We went with Brian and Amy Foulger and had lawn seats that I found on craigslist. We watched Colbie Caillat perform and realized that we were just too far back.
So Amy and I did a little smoozing and worked our way to 10th row. She went back and got the hubbies and we all watched the show up close and personal. It was AMAZING! He sounds just as good if not better live!
As the night went on, some people had left and we got even closer seats in the 5th row.
At the very end of the show, I worked my way up to the front where John reached down and shook my hand! He is so talented and not bad looking either!
We got back SO late and are all exhausted but it was well worth it for such a fun experience!
Enjoy this video clip I took of John singing my favorite song. And sorry about the screaming lady next to me.

I knew it wouldn't stop at the lawn seats!
That Hollywood bowl looks so fun! Okay...so John Mayer looks pretty fun too. You didn't happen to run into Jen did you???
How fun, Summer. I really think think that us common folk have 24 hour days and you somehow have double that. I am always amazed at how much you can fit into a 24 hour period.
I love and am not surprised that you made your way to the front row. Good job.
Funny...that "lady next to you" screaming sounds an awful lot like the lady that kept calling me and screaming during the concert. Hmmmm...
Fine it was me OK? I knew that you would pick up on that J.T. and was waiting for you to comment about it. Ha! I am so embarrassing but how could I help it!?
P.S. The off beat clapping that you can also hear is NOT me though... it was a very nice gay man who closed his eyes and felt the music while clapping and playing the drums on his knees!
So FUN Summer! I love John Mayer. I love him live as well. His voice is fantastic! We went to the concert when he was on tour with Sheryl Crow, and I died over him even more!
I thought for sure the last picture on your post was going to be with you and Jen holding your new Best friend charms!!
pretty nice life sister!!!!!
Looks like fun. John Mayer actually looks good with a buz!
You need to teach me your magical ways to get to the front! I'm amazed by your talents:)

viva el peru!
and the part where you said, "and realized we were too far back" classic. good one.
Seriously, I don't know how you do it! How do you manage to get all of it done in one day and smooze your way into great seats. You are one lucky girl!

Your response to an earthquake was to go shopping!!! I love it. It is sooooo Summer.
I love that you got to the 5th row! Of course, should I expect any less? I mean come on! I saw him once earlier in his career and wasn't that impressed it is good to know that he has gotten better. Any Jennifer Aniston sightings??
WE WERE THERE TOO!!! so funny. we were like in the 20th row though.... he is so good! and looked so HOT with his short hair! i saw him shaking everyone's hands at the end... we got home at 1:00, and i let our babysitter spend the night because i didnt want to take her home so late... SO FUN THOUGH
