Hold up... I was just interuppeted at work with a man holding a camera phone. He asked "Are you Meghan?" and I answered, "Yes". And he says, "Smile to your Aunt Heather!!" I was so confused... My Aunt Heather?? How does this dude know her?? Sure enough Mr. Fordyce works with her... and she told him I work at Embassy (I think), lol. Anyways we had a nice chat about Auntie Heador... And I asked him how his room was and he told me he had a stinky 2 queen smoking suite. I told him that the room just wouldn't do for a co-worker of my Auntie, so I switched him to a much better room. A king non smoking suite on the 6th floor looking over the Gondola. He was stoked... I love to make my guest's happy.
Anyways -- to the actual reason why I am writing the blog... I got to see a Sheryl Crow and James Blunt concert last night. The venue was the same place that Robert & Alison played at... but this time I was in the bleachers... I guess I can't be VIP everytime. Now the story of how I got the concert tickets. I was at work (as usual) and a guest walked up to the desk and asked if he could ask a stupid question. When guests say that, I try to be as positive as possible and reinforce like a kindergarten teacher that "no question is a stupid question". Then he mentions that he had 2 back up tickets to the show and he's not going to use them because he got some 5th row seats and wanted to know if I could use the tickets. Well DUH I can use the tickets... I loved Mr. Nakamoto. (Odd, an asain at a Sheryl Crow concert??) JUST KIDDING!!! :)
I had an awesome time, I ended up going with Ryan's friend Will, since Ry had to work. We had an awesome time, minus the two drunk old couples next to me. They were so drunk one of the ladies kept saying she wanted to leave unless Sheryl came on, but then her husband is telling her he bought Sheryl Crow tickets just for her, and they just have to be paitient. So he sends her off stumbling to find another beer to shut her up. Ya know the best way to deal with a drunk is to make them get more drunk...??? RRRRIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTT
James Blunt was an awesome performer, for his songs being so depressing his show was so lively. He cracked a few jokes about his 'miserable' songs. He was super cute too, gotta love the Brits! Sheryl looked great for being in remisson with breast cancer and over 40, her vocal was phenomenal (of course), granted she did get a little horase around the end of the show. She was pretty political as well. She wrote a song "Gas Is Free" talking about in 2012 how she thinks gas could be free, blah blah blah. She also talked about peace and the war, this and that...
Well that is about it for now, getting off work and it's my FRIDAY! WEEEEEEE!!!!!
