BRITNEY!

I've been wanting to go to a Britney concert for a while, and I finally gave in and bought tickets = best decision EVER! Josh and I went to the Circus last night, and boy o boy, if nothing else, the tickets were worth the circus performers alone! It was insane!!

Our seats were really good, we didn't have anyone directly in front of us, so we could stand and lean against this railing, which was way better than just standing. If I were to do it again (and I had a job/regular income) I would have spent more money on the tickets so we could have been closer, but oh well, this was good enough for an unemployed gal on a budget! haha Enjoy the pictures, sorry they are kinda blurry, but I didn't use flash very much because the lady next to me kept giving me the stink eye.

Me and Our Tickets!
(and our funny fake chicken on the railing -more on that another day)

Now I don't want to be mean, but seriously, there were so many girls dressed like hoochie mamas! I know it's a fun thing to dress up and everything, but it was 60 Degrees out!! And it's not like there were any single guys there to impress... I dunno, call me crazy or a party pooper, but I guess I'm just a bit more practical... and grannyish. haha

The Three Ring Circus set up before the concert started. They took the covers off the outer two rings after the Pussycat Dolls performed.

Joshy and I!
(He wouldn't shave his "attempt" at a play off beard for Brtiney...)

Crazy Circus Act spinning a cube super fast above his head and around his body!

Lady Spinning tons of hoops around her body while standing upside down on one foot!

This picture doesn't do these people justice. There were two guys holding a bendy balance beam board, and the girl would jump and do a flip, and the guys would move accordingly to catch her. It was CRAZY. I can't believe she didn't fall.

CIRCUS! They had this neat circular video screen that they would lower and move, it was really neat!

Overall it was an AMAZING show! Inbetween the stage changes they always had some form of entertainment, like circus acts or something on the circular video screen. It was really neat. I would reccomend going if it is going to be in a city near you, even if you aren't a huge fan, it is WORTH the money!

Side note: for those who were wondering, Josh is not a big fan of B.Spears, but he was a good sport and went with me anyways! :) And he said he had fun, even better!

quick post

so far this day has been crazy and it's not even lunch time!

1. yesterday I updated the software on my blackberry and it died. AT&T has officially deemed my phone un-fixable. GREAT. So I can either get a replacement phone for $40 that does nothing but make calls or I can upgrade to a new phone at the new contract price. Decisions decisions. I really want an iphone but I was trying to hold out until the summer when they come out with the new version... buttt if I get the iPhone now I can just buy the upgrade later, so it's not that big of a deal.

My stupid blackberry, frozen like this for the last 24 hours, SWEET!

2. I was on facebook checking the news feed and one of my friends status said she was going to Britney tonight in oakland. Now I am a pretty big Britney fan, and I wanted to go to one of her concerts when she was in the bay area (San Jose and Sacramento) but the tickets were really expensive. So just out of curiosity I checked on Stubhub to see how much tickets were, and I found some for $70/each and they are in the upper level in the 9th row. Not too bad... SO I BOUGHT THEM! YAY! I'm going to BRITNEY! I'm so excited!!! Plus this venue isn't huge, so being on the upper level won't be as bad as it is at most places. (Lucky Joshy is going with me, muahaha)

So now I need to figure out my phone situation, because as of right now I am unreachable. And being unreachable while you are trying to get a job is not a good combination. Plus I feel so disconnected from the world!

Happy Earth Day! Turn off your lights if you aren't using them!
