"Your Body is an Amalgam of Corn Dog and Beer"

I knew I was going to make a fool of myself. It's just inevitable. Especially given the situation. We were getting a ride from another couple that I hadn't really hung out with. (Jenn knows them well, because she used to babysit their children) This sort of situation makes my natural awkwardness skyrocket towards absurdity. About twenty minutes into the trip, I started messing with their car grab bar. You know, the one above the passenger seat window. They had just bought the car, so I was checking everything out. Well, I must have pulled on it a little too hard because one side of the grab bar broke off of the car! Must be the PushUp Challenge. I just stared at it for a while and then said, "uh...Sterling. I think I broke your car." Sterling and Julie started laughing and assured me that it was okay. I felt bad, so I gave them ten bucks to cover the damage.
We got to the fair without any other damage, which really surprised me. Once inside the fair, I knew the keys to success for a John Mayer concert at the Mid State Fair:

- Foot long corn dog...check
- Seven dollar Bud Light....check
- About 748 "Your Body is a Wonderland" jokes...check

Walking around with that many people in such close proximity is a bad idea, but I managed. The Paso Robles Mid State Fair is kind of like a bad dream, because everyone looks like a Carnie, not just the people working the booths. Gotta love Paso. (Disclaimer: If I offended you with that last statement, I apologize....unless you have small hands and smell like cabbage) I'm going back for a repeat performance with my dad on Friday when we see Steely Dan in concert. Should be entertaining because Steely Dan is so relevant.
Colbie Caillat opened for John Mayer. We didn't see much of her performance because Sterling was trying to sabotage us into missing her completely. We managed to catch a bit of "Realize" and all of "Bubbly" which made me feel all warm inside. John Mayer was completely amazing. That guy is such a great musician. I wanted to get up on stage and rock a solo SO BAD. We had great seats because Julie's brother Matt used to play bass for John. He was also his roommate in college. So thanks Matt...wherever you are. John's set was super bluesy, which I enjoyed. He didn't play "Your Body is a Wonderland" or "Daughters" which surprised me, being that they were such huge hits for him. All in all, it was a really enjoyable evening. It was terrific to have some alone time with my wife and twenty thousand Carnies. Julie and Sterling are great people, and if they are reading, I'm really sorry about your bar-thingy. I finished the night off with another corn dog, went home and had the strangest dreams of my life. You can imagine.
