Tonight's show...

[phyncke]

Was really astounding. John Mayer is a very good guitarist, a generous spirit and his show was a nice mix of multi-media. I will post some pics when I am less tired. I went to the show on my own as my work buds were too broke to go and none of my personal friends are into him so...went solo. It was very fun and I had a great seat on the rise with perfect view of the stage. It was on the side but I had the angle and saw him play the whole time. I had spent a lot of time refreshing on the order page to get a good spot. Totally worth the money and time spent doing that. If you are going to see a show...best to be able to see. Yep. The cheaper seats were not that much cheaper and the view was a lot worse. So yay.

Here is the rough song list he played. My iphone is really handy for keeping track of these things, as they happen. Song titles are not that accurate as I am not fanatical about that and don't know his albums by heart. I thought he cut the encores short and could have played a few more of his biggies there. But he did play a lot of music.

So that is the preliminary report. I took some photos and will share those and I have to say that this concert did not disappoint. I was also not the only singleton in there. I sat behind a really nice guy from Japan and we chatted a bit. So very fun. I am totally glad I went.

Other bonus things---my hotel room is ginormous, it has a full size jacuzzi with jets in the bathroom and a full size fridge here. Very great. This place is a total score. I wish I had known about the fridge. I would have brought more food. Ahh well. I like the place and it really is a block away from the concert hall.

Hope you all are well and more on this later. Cheers.
