Day 2: THE shirt
I know what you are thinking…
“What? A shirt? What’s this business?”
Our original idea for Day 2 was to joke about our favorite outfit we’ve seen Sam in. (Yes, we are very aware these posts sound like high school yearbooks. That’s why we love them.) So while in the trust tree, we discovered something. Something that we BOTH agree on. Wholeheartedly. Without reservation. And in fact, we both thought of it separately, and then we both kind of said it at the same time and were like YES…
Our favorite outfit is the exact same…THE shirt.
OG Sam fans (like early 2009) know of the shirt. The shirt is magical. It has powers which we do not comprehend, nor do we try. The shirt… well.. you just need to see it. In action.
(On a separate note, we also determined that it is really hot when musicians talk or gesture to the sound guys. Yep. LiLi edit: it’s up there with a guy smoking while playing pool. Don’t ask me why…it just is.)
Beware of the awesomeness radiating from the stripes.
LiLi and I experienced the full on power of the shirt in person the Summer of 2009, in Dallas, at the Marcus & Bobby show. Sam, like us, was just there to watch, so he was sans blazer. AND wearing the shirt.
I didn’t get any pictures with the shirt since I wasn’t quite besties with Sam yet. But I did get to hug it. And it was soft. And smelled like sunshine.
And I had this realization… I think we like Casual Sam the best. Kinda like the way Ken has multiple outfits for multiple moods & events– Sam has his dressed up concert look and then his casual v-neck-tee-with-slip-on-vans-rugged-jeans-type thing going on.
Which, don’t get us wrong here people. We love Fancy Sam. A LOT. But in the end, we are beer drinking, sports watching, chicks who dig a man in a tee shirt and jeans tearing it up on stage. Especially if that tee is striped. With a hoodie. And smells like rainbows.
What about you all? Do you have a preferred look or outfit? Don’t be shy….lay it on us.
And of course, be sure to check in tomorrow for Day 3 of our OMG-The-Sam-Bradley-Band-Starts-The-Minor-Tour-This-Week-Post-A-Polooza…where we actually, I dunno, talk about the music? Crazy notion, huh?
The ‘OMG The Sam Bradley Band Starts The Minor Tour This Week” Post-a-Polooza – Day 1: Facepalm
In honor of the beginning of Sam’s tour (a headlining one at that!), we thought it may be fun to take a little trip down memory lane. Re-experience the awesomeness that always happens when you attend a Sam Bradley concert. Over the next few days, to gear up for the start of the tour which I KNOW all of you are jazzed about, LiLi and I will each pick a topic of the day and one of our favorite memories that fits that topic.
Today, our topic of choice….
Facepalm Moments
I think what makes all these moments all the more awkward, embarrassing and downright hilarious is the fact that Sam forgets nothing. NOTHING. It threw me for a loop when I finally realized that. I mean, hell, he recognized me from Facebook and Twitter before we ever met. Scary, right?
Because of this, every time we see Sam from here to eternity, we’ll always wonder which of our facepalm moments will be floating through his mind at that particular moment. If we are lucky, it will NEVER be these ones… Read the rest of this entry
Mix Tape Monday Remix Edition: Brooke Fraser
Oh hey there party people! Did you miss us? Wait. Don’t answer that. Let me just pretend that you all did. That you have been sitting in front of your computers and lappies refreshing your browsers like crazy just waiting for a new SoS post.
Well, you can stop refreshing….we have a NEW post people. Believe it. I mean, you are reading it right now.
Anyhoo– member a while back when we got all mad sadpanda that Sam’s show in Dallas got sold out and blamed that one chick, Brooke Fraser? And then after some further investigations we decided not to blame Brooke any longer cause it turned out she was amazeballs?
Well, guess what? She is still amazeballs. And to prove it, check out her latest single, Betty, off her 3rd album Flags. LOVES!!
2010 — So Much Epicness and Awesomeness Squeezed into 365 Days!
Wow. Has it really been a whole year already? I was taking a shower this morning (feel free to picture me naked) when it hit me… we totally need a year in review for the blog. Cause it’s been kind of an amazing year for us. I mean, if we’d have had the pleasure of seeing Marcus perform just one time, the year would have been perfect. But it’s cool.
So after much researching through our old blog posts and the forum (duh, join it. now.), I present you with…hold on to your short pants and ball cap… our top 5 awesomely awesome moments from the past year.
1. Stalking Seeing Sam. Twice. In One Year.
For us, it’s really a rarity that we get to see concerts in general. And to see Sam, well that can be even more difficult. But through major luck and amazingly generous people, we got to see Sam in concert TWICE this year!
LiLi and I just so happened to be going to L.A. already for our Esplice Accountability Group our book club meeting, so when we heard Sam would be there as well, it was like fate. And srsly, Sam should thank us cause we brought ourselves and 30 of our closest friends to revel in the eye-effing. Add in my pre-gaming with Jason Segal, drunken shenanigans and the fact that I thought Two Shoes and John Notto were the same person, and you have one epicly amazing time!
