Last night, my island vacation was extended just a little bit by this amazing, dancing, singing machine of a Hawaiian man.
Yep, we unexpectedly went and jammed to the Bruno Mars / Ellie Goulding concert and my-oh-my what a motherfreaking show. I’m not a HUGE sit-there-in-an-arena concert goer, much preferring music festivals where there’s lots of wandering and way too much sweating, but Bruno Mars and his band put on a serious concert. The crowd had its dancing shoes on for the duration, particularly for the two encores. I’m a sucker for all shows that feature brass bands and Bruno’s was hilarious, charming and talented. Also, talk about a wild light display and pyrotechnics galore. My ears are still ringing this morning.
I feel a teensy weensy bit guilty for all the fun that I’ve been having but can you believe it’s mid-August and we’ve definitely got to send this summer out with a big bang, whoop and holler. Now, who’s ready for football season???

You deserve to be having fun, but I have to admit I'm a little jealous. I like brass too, even the five-man brass band outside the subway station near my office (first time I ever saw a tuba on the street).
ReplyDeleteI thought Mr. Mars was from the Philippines? But I'm not good at remembering that sort of detail--unlike his song lyrics, which stick like glue. No way I'm catching a grenade for a girl who ripped the brakes out my car...except if someone actually throws one. :D
Now on to football!!!
god, I'd say we just hold on to it for a long as we can. can't believe summer is on its way out already...
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome and if summer has to go (still in slight disbelief that it's August – I feel like once it hits June, the year just zooms by), no better way to start to send it out than with a concert and LOTS of good memories. xx
ReplyDeletewow - that would have been an awesome concert - LOVE Bruno and Ellie - completely jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of pop music but this is one concert I would have loved to go to! Don't feel guilty for having fun - embrace it before the icy cold starts setting in!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a concert goer either, but this one looks fun. And there's definitely a point in August when you start thinking about the crunch of leaves and crisp air. It's here for a lot of us, I think. A friend of mine just asked on facebook, "Is it time for boots yet?"
ReplyDeleteTemps in the 70s here this week.... so yeah, it's on the way!
I had no idea Bruno Mars was Hawaiian!? Well you learn something interesting every day, don't you? I can't believe summer is on it's way out - I actually told someone off the other day for saying "well that's probably the last sunny weekend we'll have all year..." You can't say that! Who are you, the weather man?! YOU DON'T KNOW!!! I may be in denial...
ReplyDeleteFootball! What da heck is that?
ReplyDeleteAnd Rooth, I know someone had been to one of his concerts and he loved it too!
Oh I am officially way over the top green with envy! ;) A Bruno Mars concert! Ahh. And girl, don't feel guilty about having fun! You definitely deserve it! Own it, live it, love it. Ha. I'm such a cornball.
ReplyDeletebrass bands? sounds amazing!
ReplyDeletethou shall not feel guilty for having fun. i am sure that's in the commandments or something like that, somewhere. fun. is. good. i think you should go have lots more!!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a hell of a show! I love Ellie Goulding! You should never feel guilty for having fun. Unless you're having fun instead of going to work, in which case just a SMIDGE of guilt is allowed. xo
ReplyDeleteWish I could have seen that, Bruno is great! :-)

You should not feel guilty about the fun you're having, just sit back and enjoy the ride, in this case the show ;) The concert looks like fun, love going to all kinds of concerts. Wonder which one will be next...
ReplyDeleteI say have all the fun you can find this summer! That concert venue looks huge!!! It's good you could still see so well.
