the magic's in the makeup.. who am i?

preparation for last night's incredible no doubt concert at the gibson amphitheater.

to finally get to see them perform was amazing for me. i mean, i've been patiently waiting for gwen to take a break from her, what i would like to call, maternity leave, so that they could finally get back together and go on tour. the wait was far past worth it. there was so much energy when they came on, it was insane. and to realize that gwen is 41 already, oh my goodness, you would never believe it by looking at her. those abs. wow.
i loved the feeling of knowing every song they performed and the excitement that came with each.
makes me proud to be an orange county girl :)
oh and the sounds that opened for them, kickass as well.

i do not take credit for any of the concert pictures or recordings above.

you're makin' me nervous

last night: went to the house of blues- great glass elevator, venus infers, the union line, and the jakes. all incredible :)
it was a great show, no doubt, except for the fact that i was not able to bring a camera into the place. damn. quite an incident there. tried bending the rules with that one. did not exactly work out in my favor, as i ended up having to take it the HOB merchandise place and pay them 3 fucking dollars to hold it for me in the end anyways.
but any who, i had never heard the union line before, but i really liked the chill vibe of their music. i definitely recommend.
here's a sample:

the one band i had actually heard of though and had been listening to for a while is venus infers. i adore their music. it just has a real original feel to it. and their song, you're makin' me nervous... oh man it gets me every time haha also another band i mos def recommend!
Venus Infers - "You're Makin' Me Nervous" - Promo

i also got to meet davis, the lead singer from venus infers. charming. too bad i did not have the option of taking a picture with him.
excuse my slight bitterness on the matter.
ugh i could have had so many good shots. but oh well, there's always other shows.
i'll def have pictures from my next musical adventure monday.. NO DOUBT!

"Try, try, try to understand.....I'm a magic man"

i almost despise the orange county fair. it's just grown old, and the idea of mobile rides, i'll admit, kind of scares me.
but i do have to say, the fair did provide with a pretty sick concert.
Heart.
simply amazing. though i was surrounded by old people everywhere i looked, many in desperate need of some more clothing, it was def worth it.
