My weekend trip was tons of fun. (Thanks, Stace!) Maroon 5 was amazing, as always. These were our best seats yet. Third row, center, baby! The band has really come a long way. Last year they were opening for John Mayer, with a vinyl backdrop displaying their M5 logo. Nowadays they pack venues as headliners and have amazing lightshow backdrops. I doubt I'll ever see them perform at House of Blues again. (You can see pics here. The girl who took these was standing right next to us.)
On Saturday night Stacie took me to a fun little piano bar in old town Sacramento. Her friends were freakin' hilarious and the bar employees know Stacie by name. She's the "Norm" of the place. The place features two piano players at a time, playing requests such as "Brown Eyed Girl," "Sweet Caroline," and "Country Roads." (Stacie and I were probably the only ones who knew that last song, thanks to our 6th grade folk-singing teachers.)
Our wacky night included...
Stacie's friend, Mark, hamming it up after being pulled on stage and serenaded with a song about being a prison bitch.
Some of the boys get carried away.
Stacie getting serenaded. You have to look closely, but that's her sitting on the lap of one of the piano players. It was a riot!
Stacie, her friend Mike and I wondering what's going on.
It was a blast. I need to go out more often.

great PHOTOS!! You guys look like so much fun!! I like the prison bitch caption. Also I have never seen 24. so don;t know! (ps. did you vote for me yet? I will ask for continous voting til the contest ends in June!)
ReplyDeleteMrs. Mogul, I did vote for you. :) Twice, actually. (Once from home and work.) I'll do it again today!
ReplyDeleteIf you like piano bars, you should try "Howl at the Moon" at City Walk. It's hysterically fun and usually a good crowd (the wait staff always sings a couple of songs together). I used to go there all the time years ago, but haven't been in a long time. I'll hit it up with you! But even if you don't want to go there, we can always find a fun spot to try out. :-)

ha! love that butthead quotation. i've never been to a piano bar but coincidentally i've been thinking about going to one lately. . . looks/sounds like my kind of place! glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tori - Howl at the Moon is tons of fun. I won a party for 10+ there once but never got around to having it before I moved away :(.
