she & him

It’s always funny to me when people think I am way cooler than I actually am. Quite honestly, I am rather uneventful & kind of boring & I like being that way. So when people express concentrated interest in my day to day & are charmed by my response it’s rather amusing.

That being said, I stepped out of my monotonous box Friday to attend a She & Him concert with a friend. Talented, live music is inspiring. I was captivated. M. Ward pretty much stole my heart away—step aside John Mayer, you’ve been outdone. Luckily, we were able to score second row seats allowing my gearhead side to drool over all of the awesome equipment they used.

I was also quite star-struck being about forty feet from Zooey Deschanel, not only is she a brilliant musician she’s also my favorite actress. They started with a few numbers accompanied by their whole band & then dismissed the rest of the band for a little “alone time” with just the two of them, in which M. Ward played his Gibson acoustic & the two of them sang. During this time they sang one of my favorites, a cover of “You Really God A Hold On Me”, & I found myself singing along at the top of my lungs. If I’m going to get out of the box occasionally, I’m really glad it’s to have incredible experiences of this nature.
