For this concert we got to sit up front with all of the other crazy Mayer fans. They reserve a large section just for us. It was actually a really sweet deal because our tickets were the same price as everyone else but we got to go in early and purchase them before everyone else could. We were like on row 15 or something. We had a great view of the stage. It was wonderful! Our seats were good and so was the entertainment. However, I must admit that it was hot-way too hot! It was dark and yet it was still over 100 outside! We got out there around 7:30 and John took the stage around 9:30. I have never seen so many scantily dressed women and people with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other hand! That must have made a ton of money on alcoholic beverages because everyone had one-many of them two or more! I guess I am pretty sheltered even though I have been on my own for a while now. The girl next to us took X and as we drove into the parking lot, there was a girl stumbling in. Apparently, she had gotten the party started early! You hear about this kind of stuff, but I hadn't really been around it too much. I think it is a shame that people have to do drugs and get drunk in order to have a good time! I am not saying that I am against drinking. I am not. However, I just don't see the point in using alcohol to enhance an experience.
Colbie Caillat performed first and did a good job! It was impossible to completely enjoy because of the heat, but I still liked seeing her. She is a cute girl with a cute personality and a beautiful voice. Of course, she performed her two most famous songs-one of which Scott really hates. But fortunately he happened to be in the bathroom when she performed it. Ha! I enjoyed hearing her but wish she hadn't taken so much time from John Mayer. By the time John took the stage my back was killing me and I was sweating like you wouldn't believe. I had to sit for a lot of the performance, but I still enjoyed hearing him play. Scott spent most of the time fanning me. I really thought we were going to have to leave early because I was so hot and feeling so bad. You really do feel the heat a lot more when you are pregnant! I had a tank top on under my shirt and seriously considered taking my top shirt off because I was so hot. The tank was not a pregnancy shirt and would have revealed a little bit of my tummy. Looking back, I should have taken the top shirt off-I would have fit in well with all the other girls who were there! Ha! I also would have been a lot cooler. It really reminded me of the Dave Matthew's concert I went to a few years ago. There is something about a young, talented, attractive musician that draws in the ladies! You just wouldn't even believe all the short skirts and high heels we saw. Those girls were all dolled up as if they were there to impress! I dressed for comfort and was one of the only pregnant girls I saw there. I didn't mind and little Faith seemed to love the music. She was moving all around and Scott got to feel her for the first time! It appears as though she is going to be a music lover-hopefully a fan of John Mayer also! :)
John Mayer is incredibly talented; what a truly gifted performer! His heart really is in what he does, and he loves his fans and his job. He seems to be grateful for the opportunities his career has afforded him. I was actually impressed with his attitude. I do not think that I will be going to another concert while I am pregnant, but John Mayer was definitely worth all of the discomfort I had to endure. Years from now I will look back over the trials and tribulations of this time in my life and remember this night. Thank the Lord for fun activities and distractions from the woes of life! JOHN MAYER-YOU ROCK!
Here are a few pictures from the concert. I am still upset about misplacing my battery charger. I wasn't able to take my good digital camera. :( I had to take a disposable one instead. I couldn't zoom in so none of the pictures of John on the stage came out very good.
