Jack Johnson

Apparently I love Jack Johnson more than I thought I did. I felt so at peace this last weekend while I sat there listening to him sing.

Drew and I have been house sitting for the past week and a half for my boss, taking care of their home and their dog, Felix. Saturday morning, we slept in and left the house at 11 to meet his parents back at our apartment so we could all go to the Gorge together. Drew reminded me that we had an extra ticket and we should see if someone could come on short notice, or we'd sell it at the gate. I immediately called my big brother, Danny. But, unfortunately Danny was already on his way to work and wouldn't be able to make it.

We had almost made it to the Gorge when Danny texts me and tells me that he's all bummed because he got out of work early, and wished he could come out, thinking he wouldn't make it in time. It was 4:00, I told him to get in his car and hurry his ass up because Jack wouldn't go on until close to 8:00, if not even later. He made it during the second act and got to see all of Jack!

The Gorge was so hot and I was very uncomfortable. I live in Washington for a reason, people... I love the rainy, cold weather! I don't know what to do with myself when it's all hot like that. Hot was sadly only 82 degrees... But, still. I got a really cool Jack shirt, as did Drew. I'm excited for the weekend when I can wear it. It's super cute and makes me happy.

My least favorite part of the day? PEOPLE SMOKING WEED AROUND ME. By the end of the night my eyes were on fire and I was coughing a lot. Which is lame because I was the only one who seemed to be affected physically. I was also not a huge fan of the hippie standing right in my way. We were in an area where everyone was seated, my idea is if you want to stand, then go on down to the main floor, don't put us out. I was also slipping down the little incline we had, which was a pain in my back by night end. But, worth it. :-) All worth it for good seats and a great show.

Can I tell you my favorite part of the day? It was sitting between Drew's legs during the acoustic encore, listening to him sing "Angel" and "Better Together" to me. My heart flutters when I think of him.
