As age eighteen approaches rapidly, I'm beginning to become more accustomed to exploring realms outside my little suburb wherein the Amish roam. For instance, about a month ago, I took my first train ride to Philadelphia, and two Fridays ago, I took a bus to Washington, D.C. It's exciting seeing new places, even if they aren't really all that far away. We Lancastrians don't tend to leave our county, which can be a great annoyance.
Anyway, last summer, I went to my first concert ever and saw John Mayer, who's the epitome of crazy awesome. I was lucky enough to go, as Mayer was playing at a stadium fifteen minutes from my house, which my mom considered within her driving range (but only barely). I had an amazing time there, with Tina and Esther, and I even have a ticket stub hanging on my wall to remember it. Tina and I vowed to see at least one JM show per summer, from now on, and I aim to stick to it.
For the past few months, I've visited Mayer's website incessantly to see when he'd be posting his summer tour dates, and finally a week ago, he did here: www.johnmayer.com
However, this wasn't as joyous an experience as I had expected, for, if you clicked the above link, you'd have noticed that Pennsylvania isn't highlighted on the map. That's right, he's not coming to PA this summer! What about all the famous and popular places in our state? Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Hershey, etc.? What about those? Yep, he's just skipping over them this summer, which absolutely defines him as a total jerk.
There is a good side to this story, though, and that is the aforementioned fact that I am no longer afraid of traveling. Hence, Tina and I are going to make a bold one hour and forty minute drive down to Maryland to see J Mizz play in concert. Indeed, he is that good and completely worth seeing. I just don't understand how he can completely skip out on PA, as doing so is almost to the same magnitude of skipping New York City. Maybe I'm overanalyzing this, but he didn't seem too thrilled at the first concert he played. This could have been due to the sixty-four people arrested for drug use, but hey, who knows? I'm just slightly sore at myself for adjusting my own plans to accompany Mayer's, when he ought to be coming to my state. Just shows that he can get away with being a jerk.
And if this article isn't proof enough that John Mayer doesn't do much to piss off his fans, then I don't know what will. If you haven't heard him yet, go buy his shit, or download it, or whatever NOW. He's the coolest kid around.
The only sucky thing about the concert is that I'm going to have to make it through the SATs, AP Test, SAT Subject Tests, and finals before I get a summer sort of off (expect for work and summer homework) and get down to see J Mizz. Well, ughiness.
