Today was probably even better than yesterday. I drove out to St. Petersberg to see The Griswolds open for one of my all-time favorite bands, Walk the Moon. At Walk the Moon concerts, it's not uncommon to see funky face paint, or 'flower child' dresses. Basically you can go all out, and it's a lot of fun. I wore the most ridiculous shirt I own which has a bunch of funky colors and patterns, and did some really cool facepaint. They played all of my favorite songs, except my all-time favorite, Quesadilla. Hopefully when I see them next, whenever that is, they'll play it then. I met one of my coworkers and her roommate at the concert, so it was super fun getting to go with people I know!
EDIT: I bought tickets to see them again in October in Birmingham! They sold out within a day, and the concert is the day after my college roommate's wedding, so I'll be going with Becca since she'll be in the area that day!
'Til next time!

Day 98: First Half of Concert Weekend!
Today was an awesome day! I traded for a morning shift, so I worked 8:00am-3:30pm at the jewelry counter. It was a pretty regular shift, but slower than working nights. It was consistently full of people, but no one was really buying anything. I went to Cato after work to shop for clothes, and I found an awesome shirt for my next concert tomorrow.
The first half of concert weekend was awesome! I got to see one of my favorite bands, the Mowglis play live in downtown Orlando! It was in a super small venue, basically just a bar with a tiny stage. It was awesome. I really like the small places, makes you feel close to the band- especially when there are so many people in the band. I also really liked their first opener, Hippo Campu, and not just because their name is awesome.
I love going to concerts and just realizing how much you like a band's music because you hear it live. That's what happened with Hippo Campus. I already knew the Mowglis, so I was really happy to get to see them again, since they just released an album two weeks ago! Tomorrow I have the day off, and I'm going to see Walk the Moon!

Day 56: Concert at Universal!
Today Kerry, Kriss and I went to Universal! One of my coworkers also joined us for a little bit. We did all the shows today because it was kind of busy, considering it's the start of Spring Break season. We got to go on all the good rides though.
Kriss had to leave for work halfway through the day, but Kerry and I stayed until after the park closed. We watched the Mardi Gras parade, fought some children for some beads, and got to see one of my favorite bands, American Authors! They were so good. They're one of those bands that I've always missed- they've been in Chicago when I've been at school, or they've been in the South when I've been home. We went to Panda Express after the show to let the crowd clear out, but it was definitely a good day!

Day 37: Resort Hopping and a Concert
Today was so much fun! Myself, Becca, Alayna and Kerry started off by resort hopping in the morning. We visited Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside, Old Key West (well, more like drove through it), and Saratoga Springs.
After we visited some resorts, I had to go to my Human Resources class at Vista Way. I think this is the best way to take a class: At Disney. If I had to take a class while I was on the program, I think I would much rather take it through Disney than online!
After my class was over, Becca and I went to an X Ambassadors concert. They're not a hugely popular band, but Becca really likes them and they were really good! The venue was in kind of a sketchy part of Orlando, so that was the only downside but other than that it was a fun night!
Tomorrow, my friend Kegan is visiting for the day!

Saratoga Springs has a bunch of horse-themed stuff...?

Day 34: Catch My Breath
Today, I went to Universal for the I-don't-know-how-many-th time. I started with Kerry in the morning, but it was really packed! We think it had something to do with it being Race Weekend at Disney. That's our theory and we're sticking to it!
Because of how busy it was, we thought it would be fun to watch all the shows we hadn't seen yet. My personal favorite is the Horror Make-up show because it's really funny especially with the volunteers they pick.
Kerry had to leave to go to work so I was by myself for a while. I watched Fear Factor Live! and wandered around Diagon Alley for a bit. Then I headed back to the front of the park to meet up with Kriss!
Universal Studios does a Spring concert series for their Mardi Gras events and we went to see Kelly Clarkson! She was so good, oh lord she sounded awesome. She played some of her new stuff, but also a lot of her older songs. Kerry and I looked at the other concerts lined up for the rest of the semester and requested off a few days already!
After that, Kriss and I hung around City Walk to let the traffic die down. That didn't help much at all unfortunately, and it still took a long time to get out of the parking garage, but it was still such a fun day!
Tomorrow, it's back to work 4:45-midnight.
