csi_sanders1129Dad and I left at like 4:15, made it to Merriweather by like 5:30. Stopped at the mall to a) kill time and b) grab dinner - yum, Sarku terriyaki... and then headed over to the venue at like 6:30. Got in, grabbed a t-shirt and a poster and spent a while staring into space down at the seats (long day with the puppy + no naps = spacey).
Christina Perri started at 7:45, played until like 8:20 or so. Jason Mraz actually came out at the start and intro'd her, which was odd, but cool. She played: Black & Blue, Run, Crazy, Be My Baby, A Thousand Years, Tragedy, Mine, then Jar Of Hearts. and finished with a song called Arms. ONly knew Jar of Hearts, which didn't sound particularly awesome live, but then again opening bands don't usually get the awesomest sound systems, so whatever.
Jason Mraz started at 8:50, ended at like 10:45. He's one of few acts that I really, really wanted to see, so this was super awesome. I do wish he'd played more old stuff (like Details In The Fabric, Geek In The Pink, Love For A Child, Coyotes, Wordplay, etc). It was a pretty awesome concert. This was the closest show to Richmond, apparently, and all of JM's family was at this show, so they were oddly calling it his hometown show. The place was packed, though. But, setlist went as follows: Everything Is Sound, Butterfly, You & I Both, The Remedy (I Won't Worry), Make It Mine, Only Human, Be Honest, Sunshine Song, Living In The Moment, Frank D. Fixer, Lucky, The Woman I Love, Beautiful Mess, Plane (yay!),You Fuckin' Did It, I'm Coming Over, I'm Yours/Three Little Birds Cover. Encored with Song For A Friend, Distance (sung w/ Christina Perri), and then 93 Million Miles and I Won't Give Up.
Had some camera issues. My memory card protested the second I took my camera out (luckily my Dad is ridiculously prepared for camera fails and had a spare). And then we had giants in front of us who swayed all the time, usually as soon as we got the cameras focused. We were in like the 7th? row, which was awesome, except that it was on the floor, so we weren't on stadium seating, so we couldn't really see over the people in front of us, which was kind of annoying. The poor lady next to us couldn't have been more than 4 ft tall, so that really had to suck. I'm like 5'8'' had my Frankenstein shoes(Sketcher's shape-up things that give me like an extra 2 inches), and I am overly skilled at standing/staying on my toes, and with all that I still had issues seeing. Can't imagine being 4' and dealing with it. Suckage. Did manage some decent pics, though. :)
