peachy keane

what are dreams made of? slurpees, people you love, & good music. thankfully i am in overabundance of all of these things. my besties of pesties came into town this weekend to go to the keane concert.

definitions: 

keane- a rockin alt rock bank from england. they are set apart from the fact that pianos are their lead instrument (instead of guitars) and use different synthesizers too. popular songs- somewhere only we know, everybody's changing, spiralling, my shadow. my fav- crystal ball.

stonifer- jessica p. freespirit stoneman, born the same day as my beloved, is a tall peanut blossom of love from the wondrous land of bountiful, utah. she specializes in all types of music (abba to zappa) & frowny faces. favorite quotes "you're a FREAK" and "you're a POOP". she is the inventor of GAL which she uses frequently to describe kittycaits & my relationship.



hours 1-6:
stone came into town about noon so we wined & dined (minus the wine) at heidi's brooklyn deli (my FAV) then clearance shopped it up. bought us some happenin clothes- old navy had a bossume sale (50% off clearance items). nice to have some girl advice shopping. then at home we chillaxed & watched 'leap year' (a miss) then went to the house of blues.

hours 7-8.5:

waited 45 min but we ended up equivalent to the 4th row. fran healy from travis opened the show. luckily for us it was the day of his birth! highlight #1 {fran performing 'writing to reach you'- turns out he took the chord from oasis [lyrics: "what's a wonderwall anyways?" haha] then ended up touring with them- classic.}another 45 min of waiting and ingrid michaelson took the stage. she is so, so talented! i esp loved the ending of her show. highlight 2 {ingrid closed with a cover of 'toxic'- her whole band did a coordinated dance!}

hours 8.5-9.5
waited an hour because the groupies couldn't figure out the piano. luckily, this provided ample opportunity for us to discover that justin & stone make the same classic grumpy smile. legendary.

hours 9.5-12

and the rock is on! they didn't chit-chat much but they sure knew how to rock it. highlight 3 {best part of the show-- the pianist rocked it harder than chris martin! i have a video but it takes forever to upload here}. they played some classics but sadly, didn't do spiralling. i was really hoping for a shout-out. previously in the day i tagged them on my tweet (i know, im a loser but this is what i do during the day. stalk celebrities), asking for a shout-out. justin beiber does it, so why not keane? second best part of the show? when some idiot bum-rushed the stage & got dragged off. classic. wish i had a pic of that.

hours 13-21
sleep. lots and lots of sleep from our dead-tired feet.

hours 22-23
made some delicious waffles, bacon, {a food group in the harrison household. along with sprinkles- the delicious sugar nuggets, not the cat} & eggs for the break in the fast. unfortunately my beloved hurt his knee a while back and all the standing at the concert hurt it even more so he was unable to attend.

hours 23-27

tourist-ed it up. saw the bellagio flowers & fountains, walked the beautiful city center buildings, & dined at the harley davidson cafe. {did you know that you can experience the epitome of romance at the chopper chapel, atop of the cafe? i can't believe i didn't choose to get married here. shannon, you are our last hope to really class up a zobrist wedding}. enjoyed this monster of a treat.

hours 27-29
hello slurpee! sat poolside & grooved to the ipod. life doesn't get better than this.

sadly, the time came for stoney to leave. my heart broke. everyone said that once we left school, we would drift apart. well, the jokes on you fellas. my college roommates were my bridesmaids in my wedding. i anxiously anticipate seeing their rock-hard bums slowly begin to sag & grey creep into their hair. we'll still be kickin' it old school for a long, long time.
