August Concerts

August 6, 2011

Where the turf meets the surf
down at old Del Mar
take a plane
take a train
take a car.
There is a smile on every face
and a winner in each race
where the turf meets the surf
at Del Mar.

We went to the Del Mar Racetrack.  The first post is a 2pm and they usually have 10 races.  We weren't really feeling it today.  We tried every possible way to pick the winners, but...  Nothing to add to our retirement fund. 



But after the races there was a concert with Weezer.

When you’re on a holiday
You can’t find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too
On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain
                      Weezer

really starts about 45 seconds in.

Really like Weezer, especially Isalnd in the Sun & Hash Pipe.  Heard both so I went home happy.  Ate In-N-Out for dinner so all in all it was a great day.

Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama

Bridget got tickets to see Mat Kearney at a private listener concert for a local radio station.  This concert was held at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad.




I met Bridget there and we had great seats.  He was personable and talked to the crowd.  He kept breaking his guitar strings and was joking he was on steriods.  Pretty skinny for steriods.  Had a cold so was on some kind of medication.

Come on and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we'll try, one last time
I'm off the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there's nothing left to choose
And here we go there's nothing left to lose

Two concerts in a week.  Now to rest up for our trip.
