Pete Davidson in Bakersfield: ONE NIGHT ONLY

-

 

 
 
One of my best friends and I heard Pete Davidson was coming to Bakersfield a couple months ago, so naturally we had to buy tickets. He's been part of an inside joke we have - It came from an SNL skit. But, I digress. It came up a lot quicker than I thought it would. 
 
I went over to my friend's house and rode with her and her husband to the venue. 
 

Unfortunately, we did not get our selfie with him like we'd hoped, nor were we able to record anything...Because, comedy, you know? They gave us pouches to lock our phones in before entering the venue. It was kind of nice to just enjoy the show without the distraction but also shows how reliant we are. I don't wear a watch, so we didn't have a clue what time it was.
 
There were three opening acts, who I don't recall their names. But, a couple of them had worked on SNL and other projects with Pete, so that was cool. They were funny, and kept the crowd entertained, which is exactly what you'd hope for to get the crowd pumped! 
 
We were worried they'd be on too long, but they only took about 10-15 minutes a piece and kept things moving right along. 
 
 
Finally, the man of the hour walked out and did his thing. I'm not sure that I have a favorite comedian, necessarily, but I think Pete Davidson is hilarious. I didn't realize he was going to stick with a theme that night, but his main story was the one when he ran into a fire hydrant in Beverly Hills. That was great! Everyone was dying of laughter. I just love how candid he is; he just is who he is. His facial expressions and delivery are everything. I'd definitely see him again if he comes to town.


The show was about an hour long, and then it was over. We walked out of the theater and they opened our cell phone pouches for us. It was nice that we were out and home before 9:30 because we have a busy week ahead, but it was a fun night out.

Dinosaurs and Celebrities Take Over Los Angeles with Jurassic World Premiere

If you know me at all, you know I'm a big Chris Pratt fan. I almost kind of met him at Paley Fest a few years ago (JUST before the movie star pandemonium), but wasn't able to get a photo or autograph. With the release of Jurassic World 2 comes a premiere. So, yesterday afternoon, my friend and I went down to LA to see what we could of the movie's red carpet.  We arrived around 1:30, grabbed Subway for lunch, used the restroom, then secured our spot in line, where we would stand for the next five or so hours. We were surrounded by many collectors, who print out oodles and oodles of shots from movies and photo shoots and sell them on eBay. Most are not very nice and once the celebrities come out become even more pushy and rude. They will do whatever it takes to get that autograph, because this is their full-time job and how they make money. One was nice and gave us helpful hints about meeting Chris Pratt and how to be prepared if he came down the line. He also shared ot...

“Everywhere You Look…” There’s Adventure in San Francisco

Over the long Memorial Day weekend, a couple friends and I decided to take a bus from Santa Monica to San Francisco. We spent the day soaking up the sun, as Sheryl Crow would recommend, as well as exploring spots we’d never ventured to before. First, we had to dip our toes in the water and sand; spending a few minutes at the beach. Then, we had to be tourists and walk the pier. There were  so.many.people . We stopped for lunch at The Albright and had clam chowder in bread bowls, which was one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. We mapped out the rest of our day, since we had plenty of time before the bus was set to arrive later that night. We took a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway and wound up in Long Beach for coffee. We were set on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to find it and died of laughter the entire ride to get there. We found the cutest coffee shop called Steelhead Coffee and took our time there for a midday pick-me-up. It was the perfect time of e...

Salty air, sandy beach...What more do you need?

Yesterday was a bit of a last-minute trip to the beach to take my aunt and uncle while they're visiting.  Normally, we like to leave first thing in the morning, but my mom worked and didn't get off until later, so we waited.  Our first stop was Pismo Beach. We parked and walked quite a distance and took in the salty air as we dug our toes into the sand. I feel so alive when I stand next to the ocean. My mind is free and I'm not worried about what comes next, what I'm doing tomorrow or what's going to happen five years from now. I feel closer to God in those moments. I like feeling small when I stand next to the ocean. Or when I look up at the sky and remember I'm only a tiny part of the grander plan. It's not all on me and it's okay to not know the next step. There's beauty in that. I would've stayed there forever if I could. The air was breezy and the perfect sweatshirt weather.  As we walked closer back to the shore, we decided to ...
