uhh..wow? amazing. i can't even think of enough adjectives right now. got some school work done. wooooooooooooo hooooooooo. not enough.
i did meet john mayer at the end of the tour. ahaha..it was funny.. here i'm posting all the things i'm behind on.
here goes:
Day 1 &2-
Fremantle, Australia
Uggh 14 hour flights are killer. Especially when you are on them with nobody you know. It was good because I was able to get some work done and mainly I slept. So when I got to Sydney the immigration process was hell and I was scared I was going to miss my connecting flight to Perth with the guys. But after Quarantine and being stopped cuz I had commercial goods (the merchandise) in my suitcase, I made it past and rushed over to the Quantas domestic transfer and in line I saw Ben!! So I waved and Ben came over and gave me a hug and took me over the desk so I could get my boarding pass. As Ben was going through security their computers crashed and Dan, Mark and I were bustled over to the gate before the others were. Once we were there it was great, mayhem included. We shared a flight with Ben Harper, the Mayer crew (who all introduced themselves to us) as well as some other band people playing the same festival circuit we are. John Mayer and Jessica Simpson were no where to be seen..probably in the VIP lounge or something away from prying eyes. However! I did catch a glimpse of them when we were leaving the plane! Jessica Simpson and John Mayer lingered to meet their band and it was funny because people were asking them for autographs and Jessica is soo much skinnier in person. I got my own room at the hotel! The Esplanade, directly across from the festival. John and Jessica never left their tents unfortunately and when they did (for John’s performance) there was a mean looking security guard. Fremantle is a cute Beach town..food here is expensive. Uggh. Ben played to a great crowd. The entire tent was filled and I took pictures in the pit for the first time..it was hectic. I couldn’t breathe. I went back after the 3 photo limit to take more photos of Ben. The security was mad at me but I was like, “I WORK for Ben” and showed them my All Access. My first time in the VIP lounge at a festival and it was great. Free food!! Like always and that was my lunch!
Day 3&4-
Adelaide, Australia
The flight attendants always gush about Jessica and John on the planes. They’re always in first class of course. When we got off the plane there was a crew of paparazzi waiting for them and now I understand why she always has to wear fake hair and make up. I saw her after the 20 hour flight to Perth and her hair was still curly..that isn’t natural!! They were whisked away by private car to their hotel before I made it all the way down to baggage claim. The downsides of fame..can’t go anywhere or say anything without people looking at you or trying to listen into what you’re saying. We’ve all become acquainted with the Mayer crew..they have like 50 bags. On the first day of Adelaide Dan, Gremlin and I went to the beach..Glenagl. An old beach town really cute and we ate fish and chips, which were sooo yummy. Today I am exploring the rest of Adelaide. I have a short list. Tonight is the first John Mayer show we’re doing.. Eleven thousand people. Wow.
to be continued.
dan and gremlin share a moment..
