Let's just say that this week has been shotty from the beginning and if I didn't have Mraz & Mickey to look forward to, I don't know what I would do! Not to mention 10 days off in a row - I haven't had that much time off all together since college!!!
So back to Mr. Mraz - this will be "technically" my 6th time seeing him in concert. The first time I saw him was at First Ave back in 2003.
Since then I've seen him in Milwaukee at Summerfest, at Coffman Hall at the U of M, Northrup and open for Alanis Morrisette. All have been wonderful Mraz experiences. Especially the two times that I met him.
The best was after the Alanis show - I took my sister as her wedding shower present and got us tickets in the 4th row. It was an AMAZING show, both Jason and Alanis. I was wearing my Geek in the Pink Mraz shirt and after the show - I made Elizabeth stick around the buses with me, waiting for Jason. And low and behold, he comes out and meets and greets.
When it is finally our turn, he looks at me and says - Oh I saw you in the crowd - weren't you in the first couple rows on the left side?
And I never looked back after he said that to me. haha And here we are (the first time I met him - after stalking him to Cities 97) I can't help it - stalking is a gift!
Either way, both times meeting him were great experiences and I look forward to many more. haha The only thing is that the show tomorrow is at the Myth. Not a fan of the "club concert." I like when I have my own space, enough to sing and dance and not be bothered. When I saw Jason at First Ave - I literally almost got in a fight. My sister was going to have to pull me off these chicks. I definitely could have and would have kicked their asses. lol
In any case, its me and jason tomorrow night. And I guess Rian is coming too - but when I'm in my concert zone - there IS no one else. hehe Sorry Rian!
Now if me going to a concert of my FAVORITE singer ever isn't enough excitement for one week - on Thursday night, I will be heading to the airport for a 7:15pm flight on Northwest - nonstop to ORLANDO, FLORIDA!!!!
We've been planning this trip for a while - so that all of us are able to be there and I just can't believe that it is already here! It is going to be an amazing trip - filled with fun and laughter and shopping and food and MICKEY!
I already told Rian that we are taking a picture of the three of us! :-)
It is pretty special to me though because Rian has never ever been to Disney World - and I'm so glad that we get to experience it together. Disney World, etc has always been a very important part of my life and I finally get to share it with him.
Words can't even describe how much I'm looking forward to this vacation and how wonderfully magical it will be. I'm a lucky girl!
**My parents are already in Orlando and are at Epcot today. My dad has been sending me pictures on his phone and it has been torcher!! Here is a picture of Belle and the Beast that he sent me...
But soon I will be there enjoying the Florida weather, surrounded by my family and being in my most favorite and happiest place on Earth!ps: This post is especially brought to you by my cousin Jaclyn, who insists that I update. I will do a better job, Jaclyn - I promise.
Peace Out - Excel.
