Kenny Chesney’s Poets and Pirates Tour

This weekend, I had the opportunity to go check out Kenny Chesney’s Poets and Pirates Tour at the University of Phoenix stadium. It was a huge show and it was awesome to see.

There were four separate performers at the show, some I loved, other’s I didn’t. Here is a breakdown of the performances:

Gary Allan

Gary put on a good opening act and played a lot of his good songs. The first song he played was his new single, “Watching Airplanes.” He also played some of his older hits like “Smoke Rings in the Dark” and “Right Where I Need to Be.” I was pretty impressed with his show.

Sammy Hagar

The second performer was Sammy Hagar, and I will admit I was not impressed at all. I guess if you like older stuff, you may have liked this show. I hated his stupid outfit, which consisted of a red flannel shirt and red basketball shorts. He word a huge fuzzy hat that made him look like Dr. Suess.

Yeah, I wasn’t impressed.

Keith Urban

This was my favorite part of the whole concert. I have seen Keith Urban before and his show is awesome to see. He played a ton of his hits and interacted with the audience. He played a lot of his songs, including “I Told You So” and “Stupid Boy” off of his recent album. He also performed a lot of his older hits like “Somebody Like You.”

He also played some covers on guitar that were nice to see and even let some of his band members sing. I must say, this was the main reason I went to the show in the first place.

Kenny Chesney

Kenny also put on a decent show. They opened the roof of the stadium right before he hit the stage which was cool. He sang all of his hits and performed for over two hours.

The only downside to Kenny is he sounds almost identical live as he does on his CD’s. He also doesn’t interact with the crowd nearly as much as some of the other performers.

Overall, I thought it was an awesome show. I definitely got my moneys worth by seeing all the different performers. I would recommend it to anyone to go see this tour before it ends.

The Weekenders Golf Tour

Yesterday was officially my first time on set of a reality TV show. I must say, it is a great experience and definitely something I would like to do a lot more of in the future. I really am on the lookout for the next show I can get on.

The show I was on, is called The Weekenders Golf Tour and it is a show about average Joe golfers competing on television. You can read more about The Weekenders Golf Tour by following this link: The Weekenders Golf Tour Official Website

I am not allowed to discuss any details about the outcome of the show until after it air’s on television. But what I can say, is that it was a great time. My teammate and I started drinking at 9 AM with another team and it created some fun times. The cool thing about filming for television is the people you get to work with and the environment. You get to eat catered food and hang out with some cool people. And if you are lucky, they even throw an after party for everyone involved in the show. Plus a free round of golf never hurt anyone. Plus the weather was great until the very end of the day but we had already finished shooting so the rain did not affect us.

Following the shoot, we were invited to an after party at the Gordon Biersch restaurant in Scottsdale. We managed to slam back a few too many beers since they were “on the house”. We also got free food and had a great time talking with the rest of the crew.

At that point, I should of called it a night since it was such a long day. Instead, my teammate and I met up with a friend at the 6 Lounge in Scottsdale. Wednesday nights are always packed there and last night was no exception. It was a good time but all I was thinking was I really need to get to bed, tomorrow is going to be one long day at work…

Checking Out the Superbowl

Well, first I will start by saying last night was another fun adventure out in Tempe. Margarita Rocks was the choice again and it was pretty packed considering the Counting Crows put on a free show at Tempe Town Lake so I everyone walked to the bars afterward.

Today was an awesome day. The Superbowl is here in Phoenix so we decided to go hang out at the stadium and see what it was like. Its a crazy feeling when you think the whole world is watching something thats taking place a few hundred feet from me. The stadium is definitly weird looking. It sort of looks like a UFO or a tin shed. Plus it is kind of in the middle of nowhere. The place was absolutely packed and there were cars trying to park everywhere.

We though about trying to finagle our way into the game but the tickets were going for $1200 to $2500 which was way more than I was willing to pay to see a game I didn’t even care about.

There was a lot of events happening outside including a carnival, a couple block parties, and a lot of booths giving away promotional stuff. It was pretty cool to see and at least I can say I have sort of been to a Superbowl, at least outside of one.
After we got done at the stadium, we ended up driving back to Scottsdale and going to a huge Superbowl party at the Upperdeck bar. There was tons of people there and they have over 50 tvs on the walls. It was a good time but I really just wanted to get home. I feel that I need a lot more sleep before I am back to normal.

Well, this was probably one of the longest weeks of my life. I had a great time and was still productive at work, and got a lot of other things taken care of. This Tuesday is Fat Tuesday so I might be doing something for that. I am also heading to Las Vegas Friday afternoon so there is just a ton of stuff going on in my life. I was also names an alternate for a golf reality tv show coming up in February so who knows.

Over the next to months were planning on heading out to Hollywood to meet a guy from CBS and see what we can pull. I am still thinking about getting into the Movie Extra/Actor gigs so we will see. I kind of wish I wouldn’t of gotten drunk that one night and missed my 3 audition for Beauty and the Geek…haha.

Check back again as my life continues to spread out in all directions.
