California Dreams Tour

Oh my, what an exciting adventure we had yesterday. After checking out a potential apartment for me, MyLinh, my mother an I had tickets to see the lovely Katy Perry. I have to say she put on an overall amazing show. 

My only gripe was that a soccer game was going on the same night, so traffic was absolutely nutso crazypants. I had no idea there were so many devoted soccer fans in Seattle. And plus wherever the people in the red shirts were from. 

When we arrived at our seats we saw some pink clouds, one of which was hanging high above the audience. We started making predictions about what that would be for.

There's the cloud. I was hoping she'd actually go up this high so she could be closer to us.

I was inspired by two whorishly dressed teen girls. If they can take sexy pictures so can we.

The opening act was Janelle Monae, who who was very loud, creative, and energetic. I personally liked her stage presence, but my mom wasn't two thrilled with her screams. When she was done she literally rode out on some guys back.... After her was DJ skeet skeet. He was good and provided a club-like atmosphere. (or what I assume a club would be like?) But I couldn't help but be distracted by his name a little...

The concert itself was amazing. Rather than a concert it was more like a theatrical production or something. I mean how many concerts have storylines? (Actually, I wouldn’t know...) I loved how it started with a little story about Katy and the butcher and the baker’s boy. Man was she adorable in that video. At the end when she climbs through the kitty door, you could feel the anticipation building in the room since everyone knew exactly what it meant, Katy herself was going to pop up any second!

And she was very creative in finding a way to incorporate her less sugary songs. :P This particular scene also taught me to never trust mimes...especially mimes bearing gifts. 

The outfits, the dancer, her spunkiness, it all made for an awesome show. And on top of that there were the extra things like lasers during ET, confetti and “whipped cream” sprayed at the audience for California gurls, and during Last Friday Night, photos were shown on the video screens including MINE. Maybe it was only 2 seconds, and maybe I was mostly covered up by an animated cat, but Mason and I were ON THAT SCREEN!!!  :D

See? She did go on that cloud! But not as high up as I thought.

Yes. It is a hideous picture of me. But you know what? It was on a screen at a katy perry concert and that's all that matters.

When we left for the night we were all exhausted. My calves were for some reason sore, mom had a headache which caused a detour on the way home, and Mylinh? well. For some reason her milk was coming in during the concert, and had leaked through her shirt....oh the life of a young mother. 

Goodnight Seattle <3

I can hear your music through the wall.

I’ve had to live with some horrible neighbors. Like really horrible. We’re talking criminals and creepers. And maybe the newest set of college boys aren’t the worst people who have lived here, but they sure are annoying! Didn’t their mothers teach them to be considerate of other people?

I mean we’re living in a place where we share walls. THIN walls. I don’t understand how people can be so care free and do whatever they please. Oh your roommates are gone? Guess that means you can play your music as LOUD as you want! Oh you like playing your drum? Why don’t you sit outside shirtless and play repetitive beats for half an hour. Oh there’s no physical divider in between our “yards”? Well then come right on over, our space is your space neighbor!

I guess I should just be thankful they don’t usually make noise at night like past neighbors have. But still I gotta complain a little!

Speaking of neighbors, I sure hope when I move into my own apartment I have good quiet ones. Oh because did I mention? I’ve been looking into that lately. It’s both exciting and terrifying. In fact I’ll be looking at a place on Wednesday. :O
