Amber’s Drunken Concert Review (Cause that’s how I roll!)

Okay seriously. No beer next time I’m at a Sam show. Really.

Actually, I did remember pretty much everything from the Dallas show. I kind of had an amazing time. And the night pretty much ended up being epic, as always.

Let us start from the beginning…

ohaithere Mr. Bradley!

I arrive, and some how I am at the front of the line to get into the show. I don’t know how this happened. In case you all don’t realize, I’m normally not there till the doors open cause seats by the bar are normally easy to find for some reason. Thank goodness our ticket winner Shannon came early and managed to mosey her way to the front of the line. I was lonely. And the girls behind me kept talking about how awesome their recent trip to church camp was, which was making me feel awkward since my boobs were hanging out. No really. They were. We’ll talk more about my cleavage later… I promise!

We got inside, got my $9 beer and I was starting to feel a little bit better. I was right in line of where I knew the eff me eyes would be and was explaining the awesomeness that is a Sam Bradley concert to Shannon, who was a Sam virgin before that night. Woo hoo! Always happy to assist someone with popping their cherry!

Poor LiLi did not make the Sam performance at the show. I was so sad for her. I even saved her an amazing spot (in line with the eff me eyes. duh.), but it was not meant to be. And, while I was hoping Sam might start a little late, he started 10 minutes early. LiLi didn’t stand a chance. Which is why you are getting the “Amber only” side of things right now.

The show starts and I tell you what, the boy can perform! This is why I’ve fallen in love with Sam. I was just in like with him until the first live performance. And now, even at concert number 4 for me, the boy still has it! In fact, dare I say he has gotten better since the first time I saw him? Yes, I dare say it!

Man. I love this picture. :sigh:

My fave songs from Friday? Duh. Lights. Mainly cause I love the f-bomb a lot, especially with church camp girls standing next to me. That was win. Scared was equally amazing. And he busted out this song called Sugar Mama, which just made me giggle thinking about this post I wrote about Sam’s quest for a sugar mama. I’m guessing he’s still looking ladies! I’d volunteer, but I’m pretty sure you have to be rich to be a sugar mama, right? Damn it. He also sung a song written by his mom during the show. During an awkward silence before he started, I yelled out “moms rock!” Yes. That was me. Love me through it.

Overall, the show was major win, with the biggest flaw always being that it is too short. But I guess that is a sacrifice you have to make when opening for other musicians, which I will say, is a smart marketing move on Sam’s part. I’ve seen lots of positive tweets from Brooke Fraser fans on Sam over the past few days, and it’s all about growing the fan base, right?

Do I dare talk to you all about the “meet & greet”? Of course I will. Duh. That was the best part of the show.

So I only went through the line twice. Let’s all be amazed by this, cause you know how I am when I have a couple of beers in me. And apparently Sam does too, cause whilst talking to Two Shoes, Sam waved at me, then asked me if I was drunk. I shook my head no, and then he gave me “the look”, then I shook my head yes. Color me embarrassed.

I talked to Two Shoes for a bit while we waited, and while I apparently thought it was the first time we really met, he informed me otherwise. Via Twitter. Awesome. :facepalm:

Alright, enter Sam. First things first, I had him sign the bazjillion things I bought at the merch stand, got my hug, and then took my picture. Which I love, thanks to Picnik’s 1960′s effect!

Love me and my hipster plaid!

Then whilst trying to turn off my camera, I managed to snap a shot of my chest. Sam leaned over and whispered, “I think you just took a picture of your cleavage.” And I pretty much died right there. Cause I did, well sort of. This was what happened…

My failed cleavage attempt. No worries. I got a better one later.

Gah. Embarrassing.

I walked away at that point and proceeded to wait on LiLi, who finally got there and then we got to the end of the line again (which luckily was the end, cause we needed some extra Sam time).

And then…. To be continued!

Hahahaha! LiLi is gonna spill the rest of what happened that night tomorrow.

What will you do till then?!? Duh. Enter to win your own autographed copy of Zuni! Read the instructions in yesterday’s blog and srsly, get entered.

The One Where I Recall Sam’s “Last Man Standing” Crown

For you Shack of Soul newbies, a long time ago we had this really scientific poll on which of the guys could last the longest in drinking. We deemed it “the last man standing” and everyone, including Sam himself, loved it and voted. And Sam won… decidingly. I mean, it was no contest. Of course, the fact that he tweeted it out to his followers probably was in his favor. But I digress…

Poor Marcus came in last. I really thought it was a shame. Surely Marcus could hold his liquor better then that, right? I even asked Sam, who said “I know, I know I’d definitely beat Marcus.” WHAT?!? Say it ain’t so Marcus!!

Well, after this picture Sam posted, I’m gonna have to go on and say it. I’m removing the crown from Sam and giving it to Marcus. Cause Sam, you are looking WAY more hungover then Marcus. There. I said it.

 

ohaithere hungover boys!

 

And the accompanying tweet…

 

I call liar, liar, pants on fire!!

 

Maybe Sam was referring to himself as the hungover one. I call shenanigans on you Sam!! Marcus can handle his own, I can tell. As an experienced drunk, I know what hungover looks like. And if Marcus is hungover, he is handling it well. Much better then me, that’s for sure.

No worries Sam AKA Mr. Drunky McDrunkerton, I get it. But just own up. Marcus wins, doesn’t he?

Yep. That’s what I thought.

Welcome to the Marcus Club Fan Boy!

Dear Gary,

Thanks to our very good friend PangeforPrez and the awesomeness of our stalker-esque Google Alerts on Marcus Foster, we saw that you recently joined the club. You know? The Marcus Foster Fan Club! Welcome. You’re very own laminated card and t-shirt are in the mail! (Don’t ask how we have your address. We have our ways. Mwahahahaha!)

So now that you are a fan of Marcus Foster, we feel like we have to give you fair warning. It starts off really simple, at a show (which is also how LiLi and I fell in love with Marcus) and you write things like this, “…Marcus Foster, who has a fantastic, haunting voice and writes some excellent stuff.” You get home and Google search (which I see you’ve already done) and find Marcus’ album, a little teaser of an EP.

You listen. You love. It’s not enough.

Forget Google. Now you are on YouTube and searching out every video featuring Marcus, even the one where he talks about ghosts (scroll down and WATCH IT if you haven’t seen it). And you can’t get enough Gary. No worries. We know. We totally get it.

Next thing you know, you are starting a blog just about Marcus, and maybe his friend… no. Wait. That’s us.

Can  I be honest Gary? We really just wanted to post these amazeballs pictures of Marcus cause 1) They are amazeballs; and 2) We don’t get much new Marcus stuff and we LOVE you for this!

Thank you Gary! Now get out there and take some more for us! Our want for Marcus is never ending.

<3,

Amber

PS– LiLi here and I just have to make note of two things:

1) Gary there also has some rad pics of Willy Mason, who Marcus has been opening for.

2) Um. Willy’s voice is like velvet. Please to be checking him out and swooning with me.

That is all.

Germany loves Bobby…and so do we!

Um. Yeah. Imma need someone to get me one of these. For serious.

Welcome back, all you crazy kids. For today’s stalk Bobby post show, we bring you German Bobby! As you may or may not know, Bobby is currently on his European tour, aka the Left to Lie tour, and Amber and I have taken a solemn vow to bring that tour to you!

Now you don’t have to search the couch cushions for change or “borrow” money from your kids college tuition fund to fly to Europe to see Mr. Long. Alls you gotta do is pull up a chair, fire up the ol’ interwebs and join us here at SoS. You can even wear your jammies. We won’t tell. Cause I might be in mine right now as I write this. But that is neither here nor there.

Today’s goodies were sent to us by the lovely Tanja, aka @_German_Girl_.  She was so kind as to share with us not only her awesome pics from the show but also her videos!

Tanja has 14 vids in total from his show, so be sure to check them all out on her YouTube page!

And because we likes to looky at pics too….here’s a sample of Tanja’s photobucket album.  There are over 100 pics so make sure you visit her album too!

A big ol’ hearty Vielen Dank to Tanja for sharing all of her pics and videos with us! ;)

If you could be at any of Bobby’s European shows, which would you pick?? I would have given anything to be at the Paris shows!

Bobby in Paris!

Bobby + Paris = le swoon! Srsly.

Didn’t we promise to try and bring you as much European Bobby as we could?? Well, here ya go…Bobby in France! The lovely Megane, aka @Esmeliko, was so kind as to link us to her Picasa album full of Bobby pics from his show in Paris. We’ve included some of our faves here but be sure to check out her entire album as they are all gorgeous!!
