Girls' Weekend and Guys' Weekend

Well, Becky and I finally got to go see John Mayer again this weekend. We had been looking forward to this for months!! We drove five hours to the middle of California just to spend two hours with John. Our seats were SO.GREAT. We were in the tenth row....
Becky joined the fan club so we could get tickets early, and I made sure to get online to buy them the second they went on sale in April. Luckily, all of that paid off and we ended up with awesome tickets. Jennifer Aniston was not in attendance, but we did see pictures of them having dinner together the night before. And.... we got a big surprise the moment he walked onstage. This is JM two nights before our concert...
..and here he is on the night of our concert:
I don't know if you noticed, but he cut all of his hair off! B & I actually like it better in the previous picture. We both thought he looked a lot like Jim Carrey with this new short 'do. JM contorts his face when he sings, which makes him look a lot like JC when he makes contorted faces to be funny. Anyway, we felt very privileged to be among the first to see his new haircut. AND, he gave an awesome, awesome concert (as usual). He even sang many of our favorite songs (check these out on iTunes if you don't know them and have the time and/or interest), including "Wheel", which has one of my favorite lines in it that I feel is very appropriate for the military lifestyle of always having to leave your friends: "and if you never stop when you wave goodbye, you just might find if you give it time you'll wave hello again, you just might wave hello again...", and "Clarity" and "Daughters", which the drunk girl next to me was almost pole-dancing to, if you can imagine that, and "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)", and "Vultures", which he turned into a cool medley of "Burning Down the House" at the end. He also did a really cool, bluesy version of "Mercy", the song that is popular right now by Duffy. But definitely our favorite song of the evening was JM's version of "Free Falling", which we love, love, love. JM said that he is usually iffy about doing covers of songs, but that by now if we're fans of his we probably trust that he can write his own music when he wants to. It was a very fun night!

The next day, we went to Napa Valley for some wine tasting and shopping...
We had such a great weekend! Special thanks to Phil for staying home with Jackson all weekend. Love you!! He said they had fun days full of Home Depot trips and guy stuff. J-Man sure loves his Daddy...
