We sing...

Yesterday, I was given free tickets to a Jason Mraz concert from Starlight Washington for some past volunteering . I called Christian, he called the grandparents and they graciously agreed to watch West so we could go to the show and it was amazing. West was happy about that and they had lots of fun together. As for the show, the opening act was an amazing Irish artist called Lisa Hannigan. She has a beautiful voice and a really fun Bjork+Tori Amos+Jenny Lewis vibe. She did a duet with Jason called "lucky" and it is the sweetest song ever.

Jason was, of course, incredible. He played a lot of earlier tunes and some new as well, and even threw in a little "Daddy sang Bass" to really get the crowd going. The stage at the Paramount was fantastic. While the crew was finishing set-up and tuning, there were screens on stage showing pictures people were emailing in from their cell phones. So...Westley's picture was on stage at a Jason Mraz show!



We emailed one of his Gnome pictures to a special address and in about a minute it was in the rotation on the screen! You can see here we even got one of the picture up toward the end of the show with the the band on stage.
West wasn't the only gnome in the venue though, since the percussionist actually had a little Garden Gnome at his Bongos all night! How great is that?!

I'm so glad you all had fun! Jason Mraz is the best! We all dance to "Mr. A-Z" all the time around here! "Wordplay" was one of the first "adult" songs the kids asked for on repeat---and Thank God for that! You can only take so much of the Wiggles.
