When something crazy happens in your life, you have to blog about it right? Otherwise, what good is this thing if not to entertain others with your stories of adventure? So. The long awaited Jason Mraz concert rolled around last night and I'm pretty sure it was against God's will that we attended. Monday night Britt and I realized we hadn't actually purchased the tickets, even though our facebook status told the world that we did about 2 weeks ago. Luckily the 4 we needed were still available. He was playing at this new place in Charlotte called the Music Factory and it was really really cool. The only problem was that it was an ampitheater which almost always means that the night of a concert it MUST rain. And oh boy did it rain on us! The heavens opened up, lightning struck, and about 3,000 people were up under the metal roof of the concession stand. This stretch of standing lasted for about 2 hours until G. Love and Jason decided they would move the concert inside and do an acoustic show for people who wanted to wait it out by getting even more wet and forego their refund. We then stood in yet another line with the millions of biting fire ants while the second round of storms came through. By the time we finally got into the building, they apparently had only let 1800 people inside. The music finally all started at 11:00pm. I'll just get to the good parts though: Jason Mraz is fantastic in conert. His voice is even better live than it is on any album. So smooth and wonderful that Erica fell asleep standing up. I also realized last night that I actually do have a favorite song! Not just a favorite song of Jason's, but a favorite song in my world. And that song is "I'm Yours." I would be lying if I told you I wasn't getting a little tired of it after a while thanks to the radio. But I've decided that it is in fact my favorite song. And what better person to receive such a pointless honor than him. Happy Birthday to me, thanks Mr. A-Z!

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I'm glad y'all got to hear him anyway! All that storm stuff sucks! And (in case you didn't know), I'm Yours is probably my favorite song in the world too. Definitely in the top 3 or 4, if not number one. I dare you to listen to it and stay in a bad mood. It can't be done.
ok grace in complete honesty...we were seriously close to calling it a night after the second batch of storms rolled in. but me and britt's pride over the fact that you saw him the night before didnt let us leave. true story! so thank you i guess.
