in between naps....








hey its Aaron again,

so this past show was AWESOME!!! big ups to Samantha (& her sis) for holding down the show and bringing in a record number of listens: 35,000,000,000 !!!!!! thats right, BILLION, everyone & their mama listened. We also got a show review of 4 stars our of 5 !They said the other star is in the mail & will arrive in 6-8 weeks (bad joke) But still thats more stars than "the devil wears prada" which u know u saw..

oh yea so if your not a myspace whore, & didnt know, there was a secret Maroon 5 show put on in san diego. So i went with some friends to see it. we stood in line for about two hours to get in since it was limited standing room only. So yea we got there and there were already a grip of people in line. I thought we were not going to get in since the venue was just a small youth center. So we stood/sat/squatted in line for about a hour and a half until a group of bald roadies came by passing out wrist bands. We got one...unfortunately there were a whole half block of people behind us that didnt get squat, sucks for them. But newayz we chilled in the street until it was time to go in.

The venue itself was a small youth center across Mira Mesa high school called the epicenter. Maybe only 250 or so people were able to get in. It was standing room only so me and my friends decided to chill in the back where there was a counter top we could post up on instead of being squished standing around on the floor. The crowd was varied...well sorta, a lot of teenagers, some younger kids with their parents, some older 20s/30s. The opening act was a cat named kevin michael or something. He had a good sound , but what killed it for me was his hair. He was a white guy with this freakin big ass curly hair afro. BIG ASS, like braid it or something, for real that took me right out of his set. haha, i think i have a pic. So after the warm up came maroon 5.

I'm not the biggest maroon 5 fan but i dig their sound. They played all their classics from songs about jane, but was kool was hearing their new songs off their yet to be released album. If you like maroon 5, then you'll like the album. It has a slightly different feel but it is unmistakenly maroon 5. I'm downloading the album as we speak :P He also did some original covers/mash ups, See the you tube video at the very bottom of the page.i would have more videos but my batteries were low (dont u hate when that happens?) Overall, it was pretty chill, their was a fight that broke out, crazy, but otherwise it wasnt a bad way to spend some free time.

you know, the free time in between naps...

peace & love,
A.

ps. i just finished downloading/listening to the album... i like it

I thought the kid with the afro was Lauryn Hill, I'm not lying! It looked like you had fun and I can't believe they played in the teeny tiny Epicentre! Are those Toms Shoes in one of the pictures? Nice!
