How it all started.....



I love John Mayer (JM) as an artist and I have always wanted to watch him perform live. My friend Neesha is just as much a JM fan as I am. Since I have to leave the US to head back home, i decided to make it my mission to watch one of Mr. Mayer's concerts. I pitched the idea to Neesha, and hoped hard that she would agree to go with me. She did.

And then started the tiresome task of looking up airline deals and ticket prices, hotels and tour dates. Most good seats were sold out so we eventually settled on $244.00 for two VIP Box tickets for the JM concert in Raleigh, NC at the Time Warner Cable Pavillion on the 17th of July. The cherry on top was that Train was opening for him. By the time we had purchased out flight and hotel we had spent almost $ 500 each and had gone way over budget. Still, being almost penniless didnt even mildly affect our excitement and anticipation. We slept so happily that night. We were getting to see John Mayer live. It was gonna happen.

This blog is about more than just a concert. Because attached to every concert is an adventure waiting to happen, a new place to be discovered, new people to meet and new things to learn about. This blog is about great artists and finding them. Most importantly this blog is about silent life experiences under the guise of good music.
