Well, I guess the actual trip was booked back in October, but as of today, EVERYTHING else is taken care of. I got my ticket to Mayer's Eve, ticket to the VH1 Save the Music show (which includes a Red Carpet), AND my plane ticket to LA. All I've gotta do now is wait and pack.
I've told a handful of people about this, but kept it quiet for the most part until now, and let me say that I couldn't be more excited. It's a four day cruise on the Carnival Splendor from Los Angeles down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and the music is non-stop on the way.
I'll be flying into LA on March 26 to board the ship and throw my bags down, only to immediately go out to enjoy the sun and an open bar for the start of "Mayer's Eve", a pre-cruise celebration that involves DJs and cocktail attire. Once this gets into full swing, I'll make my way to the main arena for a VH1 benefit concert involving John Mayer, Gavin Rosdale, Sara Bareilles, Jordin Sparks, OAR, and Guster. And this is just the first night!
The ship sets sail the next afternoon and we spend a day at sea on the way to Mexico. Mayer is giving two full-band performances and an acoustic show on the deck of the boat on the way there and back. I'll also be rockin' out to OAR, Guster, Justin Nozuka, David Ryan Harris, and several other acts throughout the event.
Once we get to Cabo, we get a day at port, so I'll definitely be hitting the beach while I'm there.
After some time south of the border, we get back on the ship and rock it out the whole way back. Besides the concerts, the boat will have several different forms of entertainment, ranging from karaoke to mini golf to a casino to all-night pizza bars that will save several of us from the regular bars. It's gonna be awesome.
I'm also really excited to meet so many other people that are as big fans of Mayer's music as I am. That's right, folks. There are others like me out there, and there are lots of them!
I've gotten even more hype about this the last few days because of the Grammys (where I realized I cheered for Mayer to win like I cheer for my sports teams--sad, right? No shame, though. No shame). He won 2 last night, which was great, and now his next big event is the cruise, so who knows what he'll bring out (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some new tunes, but we'll see).
Anyway, it's a month and a half away, but you know I'll be counting it down until I get on the boat...
Ahoy, yo.
