Train Love...

Last night my mom and I headed to Vienna, VA to see Train in concert. I have loved this band for such a long time and when we heard they were coming to VA we bought tickets right away. The show was at Wolftrap and it was so amazing! Pat Monahan has an incredible voice and I love the way he dances around on stage. They played all of my favorites: Drops of Jupiter, Hey, Soul Sister, Superman, Meet Virginia, and Calling All Angels. It was such a great show and I had so much fun with my mama. In the 45 minutes it took us to get home we heard 4 Train songs on the radio. The next time Train comes to town I will definately be there. It was THAT good.

Here is a video I took from last night of them singing on of my favorites, Superman. The quality of the video looks really bad because I had to upload it from youtube which sucks because the original is actually really clear and crisp. Oh well...

Peace and Love,

I'm Goo Goo...

Guess who I was with last night.

This guy...

...and about a thousand other screaming fans.

Maddie and I went and saw the Goo Goo Dolls last night and it was an amazing! I apologize for the lack of photos and videos but the last time we went to this venue all of that stuff wasn't permitted. Little did I know that this time they would forget to search my bag and I could have easily brought my camera and flip video. I have to admit that I got jealous every time I saw a flash going off because that was just one more picture that I couldn't take.

It was our second time seeing them and we couldn't wait. Switchfoot was the openeing band. I had already seen them before but it was Maddie's first time and I think she really liked them. I hate that time in between the opening act and the headlining band when you are just sitting there waiting. Then it was finally time for the Goo Goo Dolls to come out. Everytime we have seen them they open with all of these really cool lighting effects and this time they did not dissappoint. Then Johnny Rzeznik himself walked out through a mist of dry ice and ladies let me tell you that the hair is really as amazing as it seems.

It was such a rad show. I was so happy because they played one of my favorites, Big Machine. Of course they did all the hits: Black Balloon, Iris, Broadway, Let Love In, Name, etc. Maddie and I had a great time and we never wanted it to end. Both of us can't wait for the next time that the boys are in town.

If you can't wait until then, their new album is coming out on Aug 31st. Also the video for their first single off the album premiered today. Here it is below!

So until next time I am left to dream of black balloons, broadway, and better days.

Peace and Love,

Hanson...!

Monday some girlfriends and I went to see my favorite band in the whole wide world...HANSON!! It was my third time seeing the brothers and it was probably the best show ever!! It was at Ram's Head live in Baltimore which is an ultra cool venue!! Hellogoodbye opened for them and they were great! They sang a song called "Oh, It Is Love" and I haven't stopped listening to it all week! Of course Hanson was amazing! Taylor has amazing hair, Zac an amazing smile, and Ike has the skills on the guitar. They have always been my biggest inspiration and it always makes me sad when one of their shows ends because I know it will probably be another 2 years until I see them again :( Anyway, the set list was great! They did stuff from "A minute without you" to "I'll Carry you there." And of course they did Mmmbop! This weekend I will be working on papers for school but hopefully I will have some time to do something Fall-like! Have a great weekend! And remember to use your sole!! Here's how I started off my Friday night:Peace and Love,
