Don’t I look stoned? At The Fray concert…weeee
As if Reality TV couldn’t sink any lower. I happen to be a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance. Tonight was the results show based on last nights performaces. They usually do an OK job of booking performances. Tonight was by far the worst performance since the horrible Nicole Scherzinger in a box incident. I can not stand when they book people who fucking can not sing. If you plan on Lip Syncing…stay the fuck home. I would rather just watch the dancers dance to the track rather than watch someone who is attempting to lip sync. She did a HORRIBLE job. It wasn’t even close. It was pathetic. Truly a sad performance.
Ugh I am so aggrivated.
Quote of the day yesterday…
We pulled up to a light and my head was sticking out of the window.
” Me…. Is that a Rolls Royce?
Man in RR…..Is that a yellow cab?”
Only me
So yesterday was the first of my two concerts this week. I did something I don’t usually do, and will NEVER do again. I took the train to NYC. I am not a train kind of guy. I drive to the city. I hate being controlled by New Jersey Transit.
…I digress…
So… my friends and I met up on NJT and we got to NYC in what seemed like a flash. It seems that when you are with good friends on the train, it can go really fast. So we hop on the subway and go up to Times Square to have a delicious lunch at Junior’s. I had the biggest Matzoh Ball soup and Cheeseburger I think I’ve ever had. Then my life was changed. I had a slice of Junior’s Plain Cheesecake. I mean seriously a life changing experiences.
So we left and started to head to the Summer Stage at Central Park. I stupidly wore shorts and it was really cold. So I pulled an Alli and stopped at the Gap for a costume chage. Not without knocking down two shelves of jeans. I thought the security man was going to rip my head off. So after a quick stop at the GAP we arrived at the summer stage. What a cute venue, I would guess there was a couple thousand people there all sitting on this astroturf thing and a huge set of bleachers…
…So Matt Nathanson comes out. I have seen a lot of concerts/shows. There are very few people that sound just as good or better than their recordings. Matt Nathanson is one of those people. Even if I didn’t know the song I found myself being swept away by the lyrics and performance. Of course he didn’t play my favorite song. He really only played like 10 songs and thats not a lot when you think that he has like 6 CDS. Then the Indigo Girls came out. They were amazingly talented too. Now, I wouldn’t know the Indigo Girls if they smacked me in the face. I was really familiar with one of their songs, the rest had that I think I’ve heard that before feel to them. The hightlight of the concert for me was when Matt came out and sang with them.
All in all it was an amazing day with two of my best friends.
PS - We had to stop back at Juniors to bring back Cheesecake for the house.
The Indigo Girls…
Matt Nathanson is one of the most amzing performers in the world!
