Kelly Clarkson Concert

oh. my. god. that was great. I loved it. It was so awesome! :D Her opening act was actually pretty good and at the very least, entertaining. When he played the guitar, he'd do this one leg hop/skip thing, and it kinda looked like a retarded dog takin' a whiz, but it was so hilarious :) They (The Graham Colton Band) played a 40 minute set and yeah they were good, then there was a 20 minute intermission and then Kelly Clarkson came out.

It was definitely a low scale production, no huge flashy entrance, the lights went out and then she came out singing, and there was no huge screen, but we were actually close enough that we could kinda see her, but those screens are usually more seizure inducing than practical anyways. No distracting backup dancers, just her voice and the music. and it was so awesome. She sang a hits off of both albums, and she also did a few songs not on any album, a version on Annie Lennox's song, "Why" it was kinda acoustic, very basic and of course sounded absolutely wonderful (She said it was actually cut from the previous shows for awhile but since this was the last one on the tour, then they added it back in). She also sang a really new song, that'll probably be on the third album, performed for the first time that night [I think it was called] "For all I Know" and it was her and a guitar, and it was such a beautiful song. Ah, she also did Beautiful Disaster accapella I'm glad she performed that song, it's one of my favorites. It was just a really amazing concert, she is such a true singer, she entertains and she's got talent. I'm glad it was at the San Jose Arena since that's smaller than the Coluseum or SBC park or something, it was slightly more intimate, and better sounding. If she comes around again, I'd definitely go.

Today I went shopping with some friends from school to San Francisco and the weather totally sucked butt and the stupid stores didn't realize it wasn't cold outside, just wet, so dude, everywhere we went it was like 90 friggin degrees and I was like melting, it was lame. but the shopping was fun :D We ate at Lois's diner (I think that was the name...gah too lazy to check) and it was a 50's style diner and stuff, it was pretty good, I had chicken since I had a burger last night LoL. Then we went to H&M it was my first time there....like 90% of the stuff I wouldn't wear..it just not me. BUT dude. There were these pants, O.M.G. I loved them. I just I loved them, they are like the perfect pants if I were to design a pair of pants, all except for two things, the button is on the the right and the hole was on the right and the button was on the left that threw me off, an also the zipper is on the left side...which was random. but other than that, they're cargo pants, and they're not jr. sized and they're not too low and they have nice wide belt loops and the bottom are bungies and not ties and in the pant leg you can hide the bungie if you want. and omg. I love these pants. LoL
We also went to urban outfitters and.....a bunch of other stores in the san francisco shopping centre, I bought a gift, and just had a fun time with friends.
Gooood Times to be had.
