A Tale of 2 Concerts.....And LOTS of pictures

(Erin that title is for you, wanted to cheese it up a bit..)Man where do I start....so in the last week I went to 2 concerts, the Idol Tour and John Mayer.Two different venues, two completely different atmospheres. Lets start with Idol, SO SO FUN!At the E-center.I was so super smart, we got there really early and ate dinner first, so I parked at like the 1st spot next to the entrance.Only problem was, when the concert let out, there was a line of like 5million cars right in front of me and I couldn't even get out.We were one of the last to leave.

I didn't love the order of things, but it was still great.We were up dancing and singing the whole time.They did a countdown from 10 to 1, so the show opens and out walks Chic-cheezy and we're like what, where's the David's?They each did 3 songs, then 2 and 1 were the Davids.SO good.Surprise of the night-Jason(dreads)did really good, I loved his songs.Let down of the night-Ramielle, BO-Ring.Cute little thing, NOT a performer.You couldn't even hear David A. talk because the crowd was screaming so loud.It was a great girls date.My mom was supposed to come but wasn't back in town so I brought my Dixie BFF who moved the next day, LOVE AND MISS YOU LLAMA!

So then there was John Mayer, with Colby Caillat opening at the USANA outdoor ampitheatre. I am NOT a fan of USANA.We had lawn seats and got there super early so we could sit in the sun for an hour and a half.We had to sneak in our blimpie sandwiches.They literally had people walking around scoping you out to see if you were eating any food not from their vendors.Since it wasn't a super upbeat concert it was akward as to what you're supposed to do.There were some people standing, some sitting, lots of akward utah dancing and off-beat snapping and clapping,


John is charming, but really weird.He'd say some of the weirdest randomest stuff.Dropped a few F-bombs, did a lot of guitar solos and quite a bit of talking.Definitely no where near as fun as the idol concert was.Then by the end of the concert the entire lawn looked like this:Now here's my PSA(public service announcement stupid): If you have EVER contributed to a mess like this, ANYWHERE, YOU ARE STUPID.Just get up off your lazy &%@# and run into this for me *puts out her fist*.Seriously HOW HARD is it to take your trash allllll the way to a trash can and drop it in?? First we watched a bunch of ladies walk around picking up the water bottles to recycle, then literally a row of atleast 20 people with trash bags made a row down the lawn and walked across picking up trash.Even if you left so much as your bottle cap or a gum wrapper, YOU ARE STUPID.I feel more akward setting trash down somewhere than I do walking a mile to a trash can.Way to go Utahns, you are LAAAAME.You get the point.

Once again, I thought I'd be a smart parker and park in a far parking lot, but no, again, my car was trapped in the middle of the parking lot.Never again will I go to the ghetto white trashville that is USANA.

Concert tip #1-you don't get all dollllllled up to go sit in some grass for a few hours, you look dumb in your little high heels, luggage-sized purse (according to Chris) and cocktail dress.Tip #2-If you're going to use the public bathrooms, flush the toilet, why the heck is it that everytime you go to a public bathroom you have to walk through a few stalls to find one that is flushed?And there's water EVERYWHERE.Tip#3-DON'T bring babies, what the heck are you thinking??Tip#4-Save the robot and hammer dances for your bathroom mirror.

On a better note, I found the best invention ever. Gavin got his first leash, er, I mean backpack with a long strap....Our cruise to Jamaica is 2 weeks from Friday and I want to be prepared!

Not much else going on, Cindy and I have been biking 12 miles of almost all hills the last week, yeah, we're basically the awesomest. SYTYCD is tomorrow night, down to 8!Comfort better go her Shaniqua butt home this week.

Random hollywood junk-Jennifer Garner is pregnant,Christian Bale aka Batman was arrested (and released of course)for verbal assault,and Lindsey Lohan is still ugly.

Workout move for the week: the Anti-relief-society-jiggle, aka tricep dips. Do these on anything you can get elevated on.Try the edge of a chair.But preferrably not a spinning one :)

-Do 8-10 sets of slow, controlled reps a few times a week. If you need to, bend your knees, but you should extend your legs in front of you to be the most effective.Or in other words if you want to be a baby you can bend them.Feet hip-width apart, toes up, hands behind you facing forward.Pull your abs in, straighten your arms(don't lock the elbows) to lift up your butt, then bend your elbows and go as low as you can, then back up. Do a set after some laundry, then a set later after the dishes, or pause the tivo every now and then for a set, doesn't matter how you break it up, all together or hours apart, just get movin!
