the weekend was awesome. friday i had a work function that proved to be a little more fun than i had expected. didn't bother to take my camera because i honestly didn't think i'd be staying that long.
saturday i spent the day at the beach. no pics from that because i was just too lazy to take my camera out. i know mom, "must be rough".
sunday was the cherry on top!
it all started with a bus ride:
that's me and TJ .. notice the blurriness? well, that's a product of two things: first, jody is a horrible photographer and second, we're so excited it's hard to capture it through a lens.
the ride takes us here:
for those of you that can't read or are not in the know .. that says Radiohead.
this night has been anticipated for four months.
and it all started with a girl and dream.
a dream to sleep.
let me take you back ... back four months.
four long months ago i was having a horrible bout of insomnia. at that time i didn't know why i was marked for such a plight. little did i know that those weeks of suffering would ultimately lead to this glorious night. let me explain. on one of the nights that i had yet to sleep i was up and surfing the internet around 4 in the morning. on that night i caught wind of a blog somewhere out there in the land of the interweb that spoke of a presale of radiohead tickets that were to be going on sale at a secret time. i was intrigued for i am a huge radiohead fan as are my friends. i searched deeper and found that it was highly suggested that that EXACT night i was doing my searching they were to go on sale. the excitement built as i desperately looked for the time. then, as if god placed his hand upon mine, i went to the ticket website and they were magically available. i'm not going to lie, it was a struggle. man against machine as i had to use all of my book learning to finagle my browsers to work against the rush that i was up against. thousands upon thousands of people trying to electronically grab the tickets that were to be mine. the battle started at 6 am and at around 620 i looked up from my computer in triumph. i had scored four box seats to radiohead.
box seats being the operative word here, for when you have box seats at the hollywood bowl you get to sit with such people as:
heather graham (that's my foot at the bottom of the screen)
and
the current love of my life
john krasinski though you might know him as jim halpert on NBC's the office (that's my head)
they were sitting in the boxes in front of us. not together though.
this was our box:
that's me, jody and tj.
it was lovely. we had four individual chairs in our own box. we even had tables for the picnic style food we had brought.
the fourth seat was for my other friend Sam
he kinda looks like jon stewart. don't be fooled by his expression. he still can't believe that we got box seats. the last time we saw radiohead we had to drive down to san diego and stand way in the back.
i realize these pictures aren't that clear. that's because we decided to follow the rules and not bring our cameras in. these were all taken with jody's iphone.
in any case, the show was amazing
and THAT aaron, is how you spend the perfect evening.
