Mayer Madness

Why did I think working at 8 am the morning after a concert was a good idea?  Because my love for John Mayer knows no bounds.  This means I’m more than willing to switch my Wednesday night shift for a Thursday morning one so I can attend the JM concert at Red Rocks.

Reasons to be jealous of my life yesterday:

#1:  Baked Peach Cobbler Oats

• Make oats
• Top with a layer of peach jam
• Follow by a layer of peaches
• Followed by a sprinkling of sucanat (or brown sugar)
• Pop in the oven for ~10 minutes

Jealous yet?

#2: Pesto Infused Quinoa

• Cook up a double batch of quinoa (save half for tomorrow)
• Mid-way through cooking pour out some of the quinoa water
• Mix pesto with quinoa water to thin it out
• Mix pesto, quinoa, and tomato chunks together

Beanie was almost drooling when I opened this container of food up in the car.  The pesto smell is to.die.for!

I ate this meal on the road to Red Rocks aka the BEST CONCERT VENUE EVER

Thanks for the AWESOME tickets, boyfriend 🙂

Did you know you can do a 5K at Red Rocks and the finish involves running up these crazy stairs??

And don’t let this picture fool you this is only about a third of the stairs!

#3: The sheer beauty of Red Rocks

Owl City opened

As usual Mayer Mania prevented me from remembering to actually take pictures of John on stage (we’re on a first name basis).

I DID capture a video of Slow Dancing in a Burning Room but for some reason I can’t hear the sound when I play it so I’ll refrain from posting it in case the sound never actually recorded 😦

We didn’t get home till 12:30 — Did John forget that my bedtime is 10:30?  So I CRASHED when I got home.  Oh and thank god they gave out granola bar samples form Cascadian Farms (organic to boot) or I would have starved on the way home!

#1 REASON NOT TO BE JEALOUS OF ME: Not only did I pick up a morning shift but I also have class all afternoon and was already scheduled to work after class today, grrr!  Cross your fingers that I make it through this 11 hours work/school day on ~5 hours sleep…

What’s been your favorite concert/concert venue?
