DMB

I hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Did you experience any fun adventures or relaxing times? Joel and I made the trek out to George, WA to see Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge Amphiteatre this weekend. Three nights of DMB playing on one of the most beautiful stages. It was a blast but I am officially tired. Poor Joel has to wake up ridiculously early tomorrow morning too. The weather was perfect, the music was fabulous and we were able to see some good friends. All in all, a successful weekend. Now back to the work week.

Labor Day Weekend

Today I'm making lists of what we'll need next weekend. We're heading to WA to see Dave Matthews Band. It will be Joel's first time at the Gorge Amphitheater. I can't wait! Wahoo for long weekends.

Now we have to get through the work week first. What are your plans for Labor Day weekend?

on a roll

I swear I'm still around and haven't forgotten about you all. It's been a little crazy lately. I do have some very excited news though. I won tickets for all three days at the Gorge for Dave Matthews Band this Labor Day weekend. EEK! Amazing, right?

The local radio station, Kink 101.9 FM, was giving away the tickets and I called in and they actually answered the phone! I had to ask if I'd won because I didn't believe it. I was ecstatic. If you follow my blog or are one of my friends then you know that I love DMB (proof here). I've gone to three years of DMB at the Gorge and this will make my fourth. And Joel will get to finally experience DMB at the Gorge too.

In 2012, I've already won a pair of  SOREL boots and now DMB tickes. What else can I win?!

decisions

I have such a difficult decision. Luckily, the outcome will be fantastic no matter what I decide. Dave Matthews Band just officially announced they will be back again at the amazing Gorge this summer. But this year it is a caravan. This means Dispatch, John Butler Trio and many other great bands will be there this year for three days. I told myself last year that wasn't going to go to Dave again this summer. But now with this festival style concert I am not sure if I can resist. Yes, I already have already seen DMB 6 times (always wonderful). Or I could opt out of DMB this year and go for option two which are a set of 6 fabulous vintage chairs! They look like the Cesca Cane chair. I could spend my money on this great set of chairs that I have been dreaming about since I saw them in the consignment store. Now the dilemma....Dave Matthews Band Caravan concert tickets or Set of Vintage Cane Chairs. HELP!

DMB Caravan.....

Or six of these chairs...

Which one would you pick?!

I am still here!

Yes, I did make it make from my amazing Labor Day weekend. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend as well.

I spent three nights watching slash listening slash dancing to this...

and enjoying three days of this...

And eating delicious, unhealthy food...

at late hours of the night...

My view across the table all weekend....Hello, fellow ginger. (nope, not related)

and drinking lots of wine...

and more wine...

and yep, even more wine....

A very wonderful weekend indeed. Glad I had my blackberry around to snap a few pictures. Hope you enjoyed the visual recap!

And we are off!

(thank you to my awesome sister for getting us this parking pass!)

Getting Ready!

Dave Matthews Band @ The Gorge by Lovely Happenings featuring chanel sunglasses

I am packing today and leaving tomorrow! Yippee.

Start the countdown

You will be able to find me at one of the most epic locations for the next two weekends. Yep, I will at the Gorge Amphitheatre for the following two weekends. Hello, John Mayer with Keith Urban featuring the Avett Brothers. And then three full days of Dave Matthews Band. I am one lucky girl! Less than a week away. Oh, it makes me giddy.

Gig Posters

One of my regrets...not buying the gig poster for all my Dave Matthews Band concerts. Stupid Megan. This summer I will be purchasing them though. I think gig posters are awesome. Check out some cool DMB ones.

bonnaroo

The lineup this year for bonnaroo is seriously out of control! There was a lot of excitement at my house while I was reading the lineup. Pretty sure my roommates thought I was hysterical and nuts. But have you checked it out?! Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, Jay Z, Weezer, Phoenix, Norah Jones, Regina Spektor, She & Him, Daryl Hall & Chromeo (yes, together!) Miike Snow, The Temper Trap and so many more it is unbelievable. Go check it out here. Or enter below for your chance to win!

Go ahead and click.

Just to prove that it is Daryl Hall & Chromeo together...
(go to about the 4 minute mark to start the song, "No Can Do")

Summer Tour

Dave Matthews Band just announced their summer tour. They are always at the Gorge labor day weekend for 3 days so I wasn't surprised but the announcement makes me so excited. Ben Harper is opening at the Gorge (which will be good) but I wish it could be Amos Lee or Brett Dennen. Check it out here.

Next to my other love

I already have this Dave Matthews Band decal on my cute little car.

And once I go to my concert (with 4th row tickets) I will soon have this wonderful black decal.

DMB

This is just too perfect.

Serious question now...Would you rather listen to John Mayer or Dave Matthews? (I certainly can't decide between the two. just curious.)

Sit back and listen.

Dave Matthews Band

Take me back

I want to be in Paris. But take me back after this weekend at the Gorge listening to Dave.
Have a lovely holiday weekend!
