Jason Mraz











.








Two weeks ago we took the train down to Sydney to see Jason "Can I buy a vowel?" Mraz (credited to John McLees). Unlike the States, it appears that Australia doesn't cram people into venues like sardines. The concert was sold out, and despite only showing up 30 minutes before the main act took the stage, we were able to get about 20 feet from the stage relatively easily. Other random observations:


1. The horns players in Mraz's (who Melissa first saw in Austin in 2002 in front of 75 people at the Cactus Cafe) band were from Austin, Texas - Grooveline Horns (and they were pretty good). We actually saw a couple of Hook 'Em Horns thrown up in the crowd as they were introduced.


2. Drew is getting too old to party during the week. We got back from the concert at about 3AM after taking the train back from Sydney to Newcastle, and he was wiped out the rest of the week. We still had a great time!
