Flirting gets you places.
Now don't get me wrong, I have realized this for many years, but have never taken into consideration that I have this power.
Until today.
It was a simple January afternoon in Park City, Utah. Katie Jane and I were on a Sundance adventure. And two security guards were telling me I needed to be 'someone special' to enter this old building on Main Street. This old building on Main Street happened to be the 'Bing Bar.'
It was then I realized that flirting was the only thing standing in the way between myself and Mr. Jason Mraz himself.
Yes. Thats right. Mr. A-Z was within reach and I wasn't going to let anything get in my way.
So I pulled out all the stops. I flirted with the security guard, even telling him I loved him... and landed myself in about the 3rd row, at a private, closed name-on-the-special-list, Jason Mraz concert where probably only 75 people at most were present.
Talk about a dream come true!
It was the most magical 70 minutes of my life... so far. Some of you won't understand or appreciate this, but this was a big deal for me. If you know me AT ALL, you understand this for 2 reasons
A. I LOVE Jason Mraz with my whole entire heart
and
B. I don't flirt. I don't know how, and have been told so by a few people...nice, right?
B. I don't flirt. I don't know how, and have been told so by a few people...nice, right?
But I did it today.
We were led by a security man in all black into a dark a sketchy back alley type stair well, where I could hear Jason's sultry voice in the not so far off distance. Seconds later I stood in awe with my darling friend Katie Jane and we sang along and laughed, and I was just as happy as could be.
Observe:
and this new song from his new album, which he announced the name and date of AT this performance, is sure to be my favorite. it was probably my favorite one he did at the concert.
I know right?

| Thats how CLOSE I was |
I even saw Blythe Danner in her coke bottle glasses walk by later, Melanie Lynskey, and a couple other celebrities that I have already forgotten.
And if that wasn't enough, Liz and I drove back up a couple hours later and flirted our way into a free covered and heated parking spot!
Cute boys in the parking booth. One had very sparkly blue eyes. Hum.... We also saw Joshua Jackson. That was nice.
What a fascinating and downright happy day! Love!

and if you are still confused as to why I love Mr Raz so much, this explains it all:
"Music is the medium I use to recover from life’s often deafening blow. I constantly reawaken thru music. The act of making music is how I tune in and/or tune out to solve life’s puzzles, trying to make the most sense of that which I can’t seem to stop questioning. In life there are problems. In music, if not a direct answer, comes a divine perspective."
