Just got back from the John Mayer concert. OMB it was sooooo good. And I even got an autograph! And a picture of me smiling standing next to him as he signed a cd for me. lol. Never took me for a groupie, huh? I just wish I could have gone with someone. There were actually hundreds of cute guys there, but most of them were attached to a girl. Sigh.

I taped it, so I have a (sort of crappy) copy of what he sang. He sang some oldies but goodies, lol, but some new ones. I can't wait till he makes a new cd. They rereleased his first one, and I got that and a t-shirt.

For once, the song I wanted played got played, and was the last of the regular set. If you haven't gotten the John Mayer cd (room for squares) what's wrong with you? You must get it. Or at least download "3x5", which is my favorite song, I think. Except for "Love Song for No One" which is of course the anthem for my life.

Martin Sexton was the opener, he played acoustic guitar and was pretty good. Never heard of him before, but might want to check out the website now that I've heard him. This was his last night on JM's tour. He came back out later to do a song with JM.

Guster was next. How good are they! I'll have to get those cds now too. I liked everything they played. Too bad they didn't play the song that I really like of theirs (the only one I really know, anyway) "Two Points for Honesty." But I really enjoyed what they played, and the drummer was this whacky guy who played with his hands, not drumsticks. It was kind of cool, really.

And then John came out. He played for a good two hours. Three songs in his encore. All the songs I like. I am so happy.

I just wish I'd stayed a little longer afterwards. I happened to be parked on the side of the Fox where the stage door is, and there was a crowd gathered on the sidewalk when I went by, so I said what the hell and waited. It was probably about a half hour or so, and this B&D security guy came over to us and said JM wasn't going to sign anything and all of you who've been here before ought to know that when he's going to do a signing there's something organized. But hardly anyone left. I just figured, hey, he has to go to his tour bus sometime, might as well get a picture. he did eventually come out, and the B&D guys made us get in a single file line and get out the stuff we wanted him to sign. He couldn't pause for personal pics, but if you could get someone else to snap a pic while he was signing you could get one. So that's why I'll be smiling in the pic and he'll be looking down. Ah well. I stood next to a celebrity. I moved on to my car, and drove back by where he was, and he was still signing. I think if I'd stuck around I might have been able to get a more personal pic, but such is my life.

Did I ever mention how I wanted to be a rock star? I would love doing concerts like that. Don't think I'd ever make it to the following he has, though. Ah well. A girl can dream.
