I go to shows.

I went to three shows last weekend.

May 19 - Prince @ HP Pavilion, San Jose

May 21 - Kylie Minogue @ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, San Francisco

May 23 - Rival Schools, Suedehead @ The Blank Club, San Jose

When a show puts me in a good mood, I buy merch. However, I didn't buy any merch at the Prince show because none of the shirts really caught my eye.

The swag:

Kylie Minogue

I bought this shirt because it has the tour dates on the back
and because I love how Kylie looks on it.




Suedehead

The fact that I can see the hanger through the shirt means I'm wearing a tanktop under it.
No biggie.

Rival Schools

I can't wait to get a hoody with this same logo. Love it.

good things are coming. don't be so selfless.

Monday, May 23 - Rachel and Shawn came down to see Rival Schools at The Blank Club in San Jose. Because I live so close to The Blank Club, I got to hang out with my dear friends.

We had such an awesome time! Dinner at Pizz'a Chicago and then rocking out to Rival Schools!

This is how I looked that night:


leather jacket: Wilsons.....sweater: H&M.....t-shirt: Gap

Here's footage from that show.
My big noggin can sorta be seen -- I stood in front of the bassist.

This is how I looked on May 19:


sweater: JC Penney.....dress: Forever 21......leggings: JC Penney

I dressed for ultra-comfort for the Prince concert at The Shark Tank. That was truly one unforgettable experience! Prince danced around like a twenty-something and can still wail like no-one's business. I am in awe of his guitar talent. Sheila E. performed "Glamorous Life." Amazing.

A song that I loved hearing live was "Take Me With U." Thanks to youtube, I've become obsessed with women singing covers of that song.

Duke Spirit


Texas


Sharon Jones & Dap-Kings

Prince knows how to write songs for women. - Part Three

Today's Prince obsession is: "Manic Monday" by the Bangles

i don't care 'cause i love you baby, that's no lie

I wore that plush purple sweater again last Sunday. It's so comfy.

This how I looked in the purple sweater paired with jeans and boots:

sweater: Target.....t-shirt: Marshalls.....denim leggings: JC Penney
socks: Target.....boots: Avenue

Later that day, Brian and I headed out to a bar to watch the Sharks play against the Canucks. Sadly, the Sharks lost. Awwww.

This is how I looked with my Sharks jersey thrown over the entire outfit
BEFORE seeing the game:

My jersey is #3 Douglas Murray. It's autographed by him and several other players.

the arms of Orion, that's where I want to be

This is how I looked today:

baggy purple sweater: Target.....skirt: Walmart.....leggings: JC Penney
mini-socks: Target.....shoes: Aerosoles

I am a superstitious Sharks fan. I banned purple from my wardrobe until the Sharks vs. Kings series ended. So, I was anxious to start wearing this particular purple pullover again.

And, yes, I also banned red from my wardrobe for the Sharks vs. Red Wings series. That ended at Game 7 on Thursday, May 12, on a good note. Well, good for Sharks fans. That night, all of San Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

Starting tomorrow, it's going to be Sharks vs. Canucks. I will ban green AND blue from my wardrobe until that series ends.

And for good measure...

GO SHARKS!!!
