"It's been a long night in Houston too"

"I don't remember you looking any better, but then again I don't remember you."

{John Mayer: "Who Says"}

We had a little date night Saturday night. It started with some pizza at Grimaldi's Pizzaria in The Woodlands. We tried a new pizza combination and it was delicious! We had grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes, and kalamata olives.

After dinner we walked over to the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. We got to the concert at 6 when the doors opened so we could be sure to get a good seat on the lawn since it's general admission. We brought a blanket, but the hill was muddy so we ended up getting chairs.

The opening band was Owl City. Their popular song is called "Fireflies." We didn't really enjoy them. The lead singer had some interesting dance moves and he had a girl singing with him onstage sounded like she was 12. Oh, well, I like how this picture turned out of the awning.

So we passed the time by taking silly pictures. :)

The lawn was crowded. But we got there early enough that our seats were pretty good. We were almost dead center. We also wasted time by people watching which is always entertaining.

It sure was a fun date night with my hubby!

The main event, John Mayer!! His hair was longer and curly (not my favorite) and it was going a little crazy thanks to the humidity. He also informed us that he had thrown his back out earlier in the day, playing wiffle ball, ha!

Thankfully he had a huge screen behind him so we could see the stage better. If you look really close you can see him standing in the middle of the stage.

John is a very talented guitar player and the fun part of going to his concerts is hearing him jam out with his band. He is also pretty funny (and full of himself at times), so he puts on an entertaining show.

Edge of Desire

He played all the songs from his new album that I wanted him to play. This was the 3rd time I'd seen him in concert, and he is consistently awesome. He sounds the same live as he does on his records.

Despite the fact that he can be completely full of himself at times, he still puts on a very good show. Or maybe that's why he does, hmmmmm. I follow him on Twitter and was pleased to hear him say this about the concert: "Houston's love kept me out of a chair. Would have loved to jump around but couldn't. Thanks for keeping me upright, TX."

We enjoyed the day off today as well. We had a low key day at home and had some friends over for a cookout of hamburgers. It's been cloudy and rainy all day today, but it ended with this beautiful rainbow right above our house.

Nice end to the perfect weekend. Hope you had a good Labor Day weekend too!
