it's officially autumn... and i wore my flip flips outside. how liberating. flip flops in october. i like the sound of that.
there is so much that i have to say. john mayer did an intimate and interactive at much more music (m3) last night. jenny and i were lucky enough to be able to go. my mom is semi-friends with a guy who works in the chum/city building, ray. ray entered his name into the staff draw for this event and he won a set of wristbands for jenny and i. i owe him my firstborn. officially. i have an entire story for last night... so grab a cup of your favourite tea, put your feet up and read away.
we got into toronto at about 5:30-ish and grabbed two pieces of cheap, but incredibly yummy, pizza at union station. at around 5:45 we head off to walk to m3. we got there around 6:00 and there was already a line for the i and i. around 6:30-ish a lady came out and explained the rules. she didn't want boring people, she let us know how were are going to be seated, as well as the procedure for the peeps who wanted to ask john a question and she told us that we weren't allowed to bring in cameras. that right, no pictures. apparently a girl snuck in a video camera to much on demand and john saw her, and therefore requested no cameras be allowed inside. i was kinda pissed, but mayer made up for it all. they put everyone in a studio after coat and purse check to get everyone organized. as soon as we got into that studio some man who worked there was taking a group of girls to the washroom. so jenny and i went ahead, and on our way there we saw the one and only scotty crowe along with mc haves, and onree. i pointed scotty out to jenny, with my outdoor voice, and then scotty got mauled by all the other girls who were with us and he started screaming. that's right. screaming. so once we got inside the actual environment, we were allowed to stand wherever we wanted. jenny and i naturally flocked to the centre, where john was going to be the whole night. soon after we got kind of kicked out of that area because there needed to be room for the camera guy. one lady, patti, wanted to stay in front of the pillar (6 feet away from john) so jenny and i did so as well. we ended up being 3-4 feet away from john for the entire night. and concert sex was had.

why georgia
it was a great night. during every song there were "moments" with john. moments that were and are priceless. moments that made me think "howie who? mraz what?" yes... they were that intense. the songs i remember making the most eye contact with john would be your body and come back to bed. yes, he sang "discover me, discovering you" and "just don't leave me alone here, it's cold baby" to me. *swoons* i almost had an orgasm. after the show he walked around the room and signed things. jenny stole guitar picks. fun was had. we also saw the boy's ass crack. he bent down to pick something up for a fan and there it was. like bootylicious. like whoa. we were waiting in line to get our jackets from the coat check and some fans who were standing in front of us said that we were the perfect fans to be right in front of john. they said we were so much fun to watch because we knew all of the words and we were the only girls totally rocking it out. we were incredibly happy, but of course. we got outside, after a quick tour of the chum/city building from ray and there was scotty crowe again. apparently he feels it necessary to help the roadies because he has no real job. so he was helping them and finally he came over to us. he reluctantly took pictures with us, because it's "not his thing". but he was cute in our picture... he's scotty. after that we went for a drink at a bar across the street while some fannies waited outside for john near his bus. by the time we got back outside, john had already done his thang and was on the bus. we waved goodbye to the bus, and gave them quite the show i'm sure. so after the bus left, we started walking back to union station. we kept walking, reminiscing about the events that had just past, when jenny realizes that we may have passed our street. we stopped to look around and we did. by many streets. a trip that should have taken 15 minutes, took us 45 minutes. it was fun though. i heart john. more than mraz. and i'm sure john hearted us for those precious hours. he just had to.
i'm happy i was there. i'm happy i got to be a few feet away from john, and be acknowledged for an hour and a half. he makes me very happy. utterly happy. i finally got to watch the show on tv today and i was nervous while i watched it. a good nervous. like butterflies in the stomach. in fact, i am listening to new deep right now and i have butterflies. and he didn't sing this last night. maybe this is what love feels like.
i'm glad that jenny and i got to experience this. just when i think that jenny and i can not become any closer, john proves us wrong. i'm glad that john is what/who brought us together and continues to bring us together.
i now prefer to call him john. it just seems more personal. it seems like i know him now and therefore there is no need to call him by the much less personal name, mayer. i like john. john sounds good.
i now only have two days until i'm on a train to burlington to get on a car to ro-cha-cha to see m-r-a-z. i hope mraz can make me happy... i'm already feeling some symptoms of post-concert-depression. damn. i'm worried that nothing else will ever top this experience. but it will, if i let it. right? i hope so.
here are the only pictures we took, before and after the i and i. i will find that biatch who ruined it for all the other john fans that night. i will find you and hurt you. that is a promise.
