Sometimes things work out exactly how they’re supposed to.
Today was the Sara Bareilles concert at the House of Blues. My friends Nicole, Christine and I have been so excited for months now.
Well, today I was so excited that when I saw 92.5 The River tweet about giving away free tickets, I immediately replied to their tweet. ‘Why’ you say? When you already had tickets and were planning on going to the concert?…
I have no clue why I responded! But I did, and I won!
So… then I tried (for a decent chunk of the afternoon) to find two friends to come along to the concert… no takers! I reached out on Twitter and Facebook and even asked around work… no one!
I emailed The River to see if they could pick a new winner, but we couldn’t work it out. I was afraid no one was going to be able to take advantage of these great tickets. But then my friend Nuge pulled through – she was able to come. Still left one, little, lonely ticket….
I got to the House of Blues and picked up the tickets. I decided I would find go to the nearest person to me and see if they needed a ticket. I asked the first girl I saw. Turns out, she was standing with two other girls. Two of them had tickets, one didn’t. Perfect! I gave them my ticket so they could all go in and have a fantastic time. I hope they did! They seemed excited. 
And that was my ‘niceness’ for today.
So, Cary Brothers opened and was really good. He played ‘Blue Eyes’ from ‘Garden State’ which is a great song and one of the only ones I know of his. Sara B. was fabulous – she has such a good voice and is a damn good pianist. She’s also teeny tiny and bops around the stage while cursing and being witty – which I think is pretty funny.
Here is a sneak peek of the amazing concert:

I went to this concert too and I was totally blown away. She’s hilarious and quirky (and loves to throw around F-bombs like there’s no tomorrow). Not to mention her voice is incredible. The entire performance was so much fun – glad you enjoyed it too!
Hahah she is really funny! Glad you liked it too! HOB is a great place to see a show, I had never been before. Will def be going back.
I am SUCH an idiot! I can’t believe I “forgot” I tweeted about that and just went on with my day without checking again… but thank you SO much for thinking of me!! I would of loved to see her at the HOB, I love that place and I love her music…glad you had a great time and were able to find a home for those tickets! Maybe next time I wont be such a spaz haha!
No worries at all!! I can’t believe I responded to their tweet when I already had tickets! hahah. I’m a fool!
Haha– you are too adorable! And can I just say, “tickling the ivories” is one of my favorite expressions of all time. I’m always on the lookout for pianos, just for a reason to be able to say that phrase aloud.
Haha I try I try
Looove that expression. Cracks me up so hard. Every.single.time.
That was so nice of you!!
I didn’t go to the concert bc I figured I should save my money for the album. Thanks for sharing the video though.
