currently listening to...
ahhhh!!!!
during my month hiatus where i did nothing on here but everything out there in the real world! (not really) i was L U C K Y enough to score 1 sole ticket to the Jack Johnson show at the Grammy Theater.
I'd never been there before and tbh, i didn't even know it existed.
but anyway, going solo pays off cause i got the last empty seat in the first row after some rude ass guy gave me attitude about another seat (suck it, guy).
Jack came out (right next to me actually & yes i fainted) went on stage and had a bit of an interview where he talked about how his new record came to be and this deep sea fishing adventure thing he went to and how it all affects the environment....
after that he played a little show and sang some songs and because IT'S FREAKING JACK JOHNSON and i was THAT FREAKING CLOSE i yelled my little heart out and asked him to please play Monsoon! once he started taking request!!
so throughout the entire show, they'd tease me and play a bit of if and I'd get all excited and he'd be all JUST Kidding.
and then he finally played it and he played a special version for me! and i melted right there on the spot.
he also proceeded to tell me that i made him pretty nervous.
my concert life has been made for the rest of this year!!!! (unless i also score John Mayer/Dave Chapelle tickets!)
guys!
ahhh!!!!!
I'm so happy just even thinking about the fact that this happened!!!! (brb, crying a little bit!)
Jack Johnson, twice in one year. in a 2 month span!!! ahh!!! (i was trying to look for that post but i never wrote about it. lulz)
anyway...ill leave ya with some other pictures but le sigh, this night! forever the best!
...but also, i will NEVER FORGET that one time that SOMEONE cost me the chance to legit meet him in person and snap a picture with him. gah!
anyway.....go listen to the song and fall in love.
"you tell me time never waits, well that's okay cause i don't wait for time."
thanks for reading.

currently listening to: red hot chili peppers
a couple of days ago, i was looking through my blog looking for stuff to link up and i realized that i stopped blogging "life" stuff and i miss it!!! (i mean, i knew i had stopped obviously, i just hadn't realized how much i missed it.)
i miss blogging about dumb, random stuff that i later regret having posted.
bahaha
i haven't done a currently listening to in a loong time.
a year+ to be exact. eeek
i think it's because maybe i made baby jesus a promise to not hit up ANY concerts in 2016 so long as he let me see Jill Scott live once!
he kept his part of the deal so i HAD to keep mine.
case in point: i bought tickets to see the neighbourhood solo on superbowl Sunday last year and guess who got siiiiick!!?? (read that in a sing song-y voice.)
so i didn't really even bother trying for the rest of 2016.
:( missed some good ones too.
but he didn't say no to me buying tickets for shows in 2017!
so i was able to score tickets to see THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!!!!!
this was my third time watching them and by far THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!
my first time was at the fonda, super small venue and i was actually right up front. not bad.
my second time was at Coachella, we made it all the way to the front but i wasn't down with being suffocated so we moved it to the back.
and this time!
this time it was at the staples center.
we weren't that close but it was still pretty good and the show was EFFIN AMAZING!!!!
their light show was amaziiing.
just, everything about that night!
basically, everyone was stoned by the end of the night. if you weren't smoking it yourself, then you were definitely contact high.
everyone was in a giant cloud by the end of the show.
it was pretty dope that they dedicated this show to women since it was woman's day (March 8th, 2017).
the setlist was great!
everything was great!!!
i loved this night so hard!!!!
i was up singing and dancing the whole entire night and i just loved it all!!!
my absolute favorite song of their new album is by far Encore.
that song is everything.
(but go listen to the cd in general...pretty good. i just rediscovered the i'm with you album and hooked on that right now.)
...then that Friday, we had another concert to go to. i was lucky to score tickets from a friends sister and we saw Cafe Tacvba after i wasnt able to get tickets when they went on sale. LOVE those guys.
for now, we only have another one this year; JACK JOHNSON!!!!!
but I'm aiming to HOPEFULLY score tickets to another Jill Scott show.
except I'm not making any promises to baby jesus this time around because I've missed concerts so, we'll see.
I'm also trying to convince him to go with me to see John Mayer...and Bruno Mars (ridiculously good show) but we'll see. I'm okay skipping those two for Jill Scott.
dammit.
made a promise. sorta.
(and as i was about to publish this, Corinne Bailey Rae announces her tour. GIMMIE A BREAK!!!! ...or the winning lotto numbers so i can afford all this!)
anyway, super random post.
(hopefully they'll stick around!)
thanks for reading!
sometime at the end of October i took my cousins to go see the neighbourhood because that's their favorite band and because i love them too!!!! (proof here, here and here)
that night i also learned I'm TOO old for that general admission shiz.
so while i left them to basically get trampled in the front, i went all the way to the side and read (yes i read at the concert. also, see why e-readers are the shit!) until they came on stage (cause the opening bands..meh.)
as always some crappy pictures (remember i was to the side in the back so considering these are zoomed in, they're not that bad!)
i have been listening to their album Wiped Out on REPEAT!!!!!
i didn't buy the cd (yes i still buy cd's and YES i buy all my music!) until a couple of days before our trip. so i had the cd waiting for me when i got home and because amazon rocks, with the purchase i got the MP3 version as well so i listened to it plenty on my trip.
since then, i have listened to this cd a hundred times.
seriously on repeat.
so good!
ill be catching them Feb 7 out here in Santa Ana.
i know i said i was too old for ga but for these dudes, ill suck it up.
anyways, go give it a listen on spotify! and then buy it.
cause that's what i did.
cause i like knowing what I'm paying for (hint hint Adele. also one of the most depressing albums ever!)
blah!
happy Monday! <3
its been a while since i've done one of these. yikes!
so i had the Kimbra show this past week and wooah!
its rare (to me anyways) that the opening act can be SO MIND BLOWING that you buy their cd right there from the merch booth on the spot and you swear to yourself that you will catch them any and every time they are around!
this guy blew my miiind!!!
so so good live!
YouTube, facebook, instagram him. eveeerything!
first off, he came out in the best mustard velvet jacket coat kinda jacket thing and it was seriously the best ever!
his voice!, he reminds me of Jason Mraz-ish with some One Republic mixed in there but soulful and spunky on his own.
just great!
Time is my absolute favorite song.
he closed the show with Smile and it was just all around amazing energy. U is another good song!
also, this would explain a lot on why he covered said song! good looking out Rhi! Ri? Rih? idk, whatever. (we have the same scar on our upper lip!!!)
seriously, check him out as soon as you can!
another bonus? (i havent confirmed yet!) hes playing music for, ahh i hear this as i type it actually, yep. on Papertowns!!! (if you don't know about Papertowns, i cant help you meng!)
seriously, check him out.
let me know what you think!
yikes!
i know i always say i over do it with pictures but this time i think i really did!
this does it for the #Altimatexmas rooftop party post. (part one here)
i swear i did watch the show! i did!
i just happened to have taken a million and one pictures! and i don't regret it one bit!!!
these guys were EVERYTHING!!!
luckily when i got there there wasn't a lot of people by the stage so i was able to get to the front with the help of some chick who apparently knows them!!! woohoo!
so much fun that night!
i will definitely be catching them when they come to town again.
and yes, i still have their cd on repeat!
cant get enough.
