Birthday week begins!

So i thought my love for John Mayer was more than most of his fans (i mean the guy has got his own label on this very blog!) but after going to his concert on Tuesday night in Irvine, clearly i love him as must as the next white girl.

Way back in the day, when Geoff and i were just friends, he admitted to me that he was into John Mayer just as much as i did and i about keeled over in joy. Finally someone who i can listen to his music to and not have to defend myself! We just get each other. John and i, that is.
 I love his music so much. Not only is he an amazing musician and can make shredding the guitar look as easy as blinking but i genuinely love his lyrics. And i think hes really funny and witty.

When i heard tickets went on sale i pulled the birthday card and other incentives on Geoff to get us pit tickets and backstage passes. I figured if i aimed high it might hit somewhere not too far off. well it worked! he got us great tickets! not near the pit but they were so good! John was about the size of my pinky finger.
Maybe its because its been like 5 years since ive been to a huge production concert and not just a show but this place was prime for people watching. People with cheese plates and wine in the parking lot, drunk old ladies, lots of young girls drunk and over dressed hiking up to the grass in heels, lots of muscle tee (GTL) dudes on the prowl alone for said drunk ladies at the show were the creepiest. We sat in front of what im sure was a sorority of now old ladies who were so wasted they kept calling the organ a orca and sang howled EVERY EFFIN SONG. The smell of weed and fried foods was everywhere. John was in some tight plaid pants and made sure in wiggle in them and give the front row their money's worth. Oh, and tons of guitar solo faces! haha love it! all in all, this concert just showed us how talented he and his amazing band are as musicians. 

Sights & Sounds:
I was going to post a bunch of videos i took on here (yesss, i was that girl) but i figured you could just YouTube him and see them so ill show you this one i took:

walking into the stadium:
geoff: im going to be the only dude here with tattoos.
me: theres a guy with a sleeve and a v-neck on...
geoff: hes gay. doesn't count.
me: John Mayer has a full sleeve.
geoff: F*** John Mayer.

waiting for John to start:
me: oh look G Love is going to be playing here. i like him.
geoff: i'll give you some g love. some g-giant love. some g-geoff love. some crunchy lo-- oh wait, that doesn't start with a g...

awful attempt at trying to get a picture of us with my iPhone

J<3M about the size he was to us

John was so good. I had to hold in my swoon the whole time. I don't know what is it about those cold dead eyes and bad style but i cant help it. Don't judge me.

J<3M + baking = fantastic idea

i would just like to bring your attention to john mayer's blog.
i know, i know, some of you dont love his music like i do but you "respect him as a musician". but seriously, the guy is pretty dang funny and for that i like him. yes, he is my unreachable dreamboat celebrity crush. but i digress-
he started this contest he calls, Interfaith Baking. people submit their best looking and holiday spirited baked goods and he will share them and post the best looking one and winner gets a prize.
im going to win it.
well not really, im not that fantastic as a cake decorator. but its nice to dream.
i have made tons of cookies in the past 5 days. i love baking sweets. i love baking with my mom every christmas. on last friday i tried making vegan cookies for SG to snack on while they were on their travels. not so hot- first batch i used whole wheat flour instead of white. leave the wheat flour for bread haha... no good for chocolate chip cookies. the second batch were okay but not good enough to give to them (espesh since i hear joanna, lil ryans girl, makes the best vegan baked stuff). then on sunday night i made cookies and realized i ran out of chocolate chips (note: carob chips are AWFUL). so we thought oreos would suffice. uuuhhh brilliant idea! delishiness mixed with, oh whats that?, MORE delishiness!
AND with a certain someones birthday coming up this week im going to bake these amazing cupcakes nicole found a while ago. if they come out as cool as it looked in the picture you will know.

wow, i cant believe i had that much to say about baked goods. haha im such a fat kid.

me: getting my baking on
heath: getting it on
