My taste of heaven




Most everyone knows that music is not just a "like" for me, its a passion. There is pretty much nothing I do without music playing in the background, or blasting :o) I like it all, I'm not opposed to listening to anything ... with the exception of the heavy screaming metal death bands. My likes cross over every genre out there! Having said all that, I am a concert virgin of sorts. The only concerts I have been to are Pink Floyd in '93 ( I didn't even know who they were, I just went with Doug for kicks ) , and Maroon 5 several years ago . Its not that I haven't wanted to ... just had a few things I had to overcome! Soooo... Alex informed me that John Mayer would be in Columbus March 12. There is no one, nothing, that I like better then John Mayer. I don't care about his reputation . His music is positively amazing. Its not just music. Its like he crawled into my heart and wrote the story from it.
My friend Nikki and were just speechless at the incredible concert he put on. We lost count , but it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 songs on his setlist. The opening act was Spearhead, which I was surprised I liked as much as I did. Anyways, in my virgin concert ways , it never occurred to me they served alcohol there. So I only took in my camera and some dollars. Low and behold they wouldn't sell me alcohol without my ID. AHHH come on people... mid thirties girl here! So the girl next to us and her boyfriend offered to fetch us drinks using their ID. Is that illegal?! lol
Those Long Island Ice Teas go down pretty quick! phew! nuff said!
I have actual video of the concert, but alas, I seem to be singing with John Mayer.....soooo.. I won't be sharing that footage! Today my heart is still singing...
