Rob Thomas!!! His voice! Mmmmm. Eeeeeeeee!<\/p>\n<p>*ahem*<\/p>\n<p>So the concert started out with American Hi-Fi. I was outside getting food for most of their set so I didn&#8217;t really get to hear much of it &#8212; I did see them perform <i>Flavor of the Weak<\/i> (the only song of theirs that I know) and they were really good. Very high energy and their lead singer is so funny. Right before FotW, he said &#8220;I know all of you are thinking &#8216;Who are these guys?&#8217; Well, I&#8217;ve noticed that this next song is the one that has people nudging their neighbors and saying &#8216;Oh! These guys!'&#8221; Heh. That&#8217;s exactly what I was thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar Ray was up next &#8212; I find Mark McGrath&#8217;s voice to be completely lackluster and most of their songs to be completely forgettable (Please don&#8217;t hate me!) but they totally entertained me! And wow, Mark McGrath is so cute in person. Wow. Their last song was <i>Fly<\/i> &#8212; and to my surprise, Mark McGrath ran off the stage and ran around the entire lower level of the arena. And then he stopped right in front of my section &#8212; he was seriously like 5 rows in front of me! He picked up a girl from the first row who was about 13 and asked her to sing the chorus with him. She was so cute &#8212; he was hugging her and they were singing together. That was good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Then of course Matchbox 20 &#8212; The entire time they performed, I had such a huge silly smile on my face. But how could I not?!? Rob Thomas just has one of those voices that <i>gets<\/i> to you. It&#8217;s intense and powerful and so sexy. They opened up with <i>Disease<\/i> and sang <i>Mad Season, 3 AM, Bright Lights, All I Need, Could I Be You, You&#8217;re So Real, Unwell, Real World, Tears for Fears&#8217;s Everybody Wants to Rule the World,<\/i> and a few others that I can&#8217;t think of right now. (I have a horrible memory). Between songs, Rob made some really funny comments &#8212; about midway through their set, he was like &#8220;How are you all feeling?! We got so much more show for you! So if you&#8217;re not enjoying yourself yet, then I don&#8217;t think we can do anything for you.&#8221; Hee. It really was funny! I guess you had to be there. And then later, towards the end of the show, Rob was looking at the people in the upper levels and then he said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to scare anyone, but there is a giant pig up there.&#8221; It turns out that someone dressed up in a pink, fuzzy pig costume. I&#8217;m talking full body costume with a huge head. So Rob asked &#8220;Can we get the pig to come on the stage? I came all the way to San Jose just to see a pig dance across this stage.&#8221; So the pig&#8217;s friends walked him\/her down and for about 5 minutes, every few seconds Rob was like &#8220;What&#8217;s the status on the pig? Is it coming?&#8221; It was hilarious &#8212; the guys were just playing some random song and everyone in the arena was standing up trying to see where the pig was. When the pig finally got on stage, it danced around with Rob. Bwah, that was classic. (Apparently, the pig was handing out flyers in support of PETA). Anyway, they ended the night with <i>Push<\/i>, which was ahhhh&#8230; perfect. I&#8217;m so glad I had the chance to see them &#8212; my new roommate is a HUGE fan and he got the tickets for us. Thanks roomie!<\/p>\n<p>[edited to say: Linda, I got your email &#8212; I gotta head to bed now but I will email you, definitely. :)]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so I wanted this to be a surprise but Linda found out (:P) so here it is&#8230; Dawson&#8217;s Creek Finale Fanlisting Please join! \ud83d\ude42 As for the Matchbox 20 concert &#8212; Eeeeeeeee!
