John Mayer


Rounding out our week of concerts, we did something I hadn't done since I was in college.  We went to a stadium show.  I hadn't been to Bankers Life Fieldhouse for a concert since I saw the Who with Allison and Dad.  Ironically, Pino Pallandino was playing the bass at both.  We saw John Mayer for the first time in a few years and I was pumped! I was so excited to see him again.  We wanted to see Dead and Co this summer but had a house issue pop up that day that could not be put off.  I was glad we could at least still see John solo later in the summer.

He seems so much more mature and so happy with himself these days.  It was fun to watch him have fun. The Indy crowd sang and danced to every.single.song.  It didn't go unnoticed. The energy was definitely up a level for this show.

#MAYERISBACK

I had a wonderful weekend filled with family, friends, and music!  I headed up to Lafayette after work on Friday.  We went to dinner and had some drinks at Harry's.  On Saturday, Wyatt and I had lunch down in Indianapolis with both sets of our parents and my sister.  After lunch we met up with my group of friends from college for a little summer reunion over a concert.  Our group of friends had met up two different summers while in college for John Mayer concerts in Indianapolis and when we saw he was coming through again this summer we jumped at the chance for a reunion over a concert. We tailgated in the lot for a while before the concert.  It was great to catch up with my friends and even see a couple I haven't seen in a couple of years!

The Entire Gang Before The Concert

John had a great set! I loved, loved, loved his backdrop.  He had a giant screen behind him that had scenes from Monument Valley and of other red rock landscapes that cycled through different seasons and times of day. He played a couple of new songs from the new album and several from the last album as well as some old favorites and a few covers. The weather was just about perfect for a summer concert. We drove back to Lafayette after the concert and met Wyatt's parents and grandpa for breakfast the next morning to cap off a great weekend

Ps. Paradise Valley is out a week from today.  I definitely recommend it! It's a great listen from start to finish and is definitely the next step in the evolution of his music.  Oh, and did I mention that you can stream the entire album right now on itunes?

Throw Back Thursday: Summer Reunions

Or as it is more affectionately known by social media mavens, #tbt.  My friends and I were reasonably successful at having reunions in the summers between school years throughout college and right after college.  I'm in desperate need of a good old fashioned reunion this summer.  I know some of us have tickets to see John Mayer again (just like old times) so I hope I get to see a lot of the girls that weekend in August...but I need to be reunited with these people ASAP.
