Bush is Back!

Unless you just stumbled on this blog by chance or live on the planet Mars, you know that I traveled to Los Angeles to see Bush’s first show together in 8 years at the Epicenter Festival. I won a pair of tickets on Twitter and the rest is history. What you may not know, however, is that I was able to watch the entire set from on the stage!

The story is one you hear of in fairy tales, most definitely not in real, day-to-day life and I still can’t believe how all the pieces fell perfectly into place. But they did. And it all began with one of my many silly fangirl dreams. I was at Bush’s first show with my Twitter buddy, Christine, and Gavin decided to have us watch it from the stage! There were a lot of other ridiculous dream-like details such as having to run backstage and change into “stage outfits,” but I left those out when I decided to post about the dream on Twitter and address it to Gavin himself. I went about my business as usual, when I randomly checked Twitter during a work meeting. I was almost knocked off my chair when I saw that Gavin had replied to my tweet with a simple, “duly noted.” Shortly after, he announced a contest and the grand prize was watching their set at Epicenter from…wait for it…ONSTAGE.

Rock-cation!

Tomorrow I head out to LA with my buddy, Bonnie, to see one of our favorite 90’s bands, Bush, play their first show together since 2002. I can hardly contain my excitement as I am not only seeing Rossdale and company, but also staying with old friends and meeting new ones: namely members of the Bush Army (I made the cute badges above for all of us to wear to the show)! It’s going to be a great few days, but that leaves the blog all by its lonesome until my return.

Thankfully, I was able to secure my first ever guest blogger and she is all sorts of wonderful! The lovely Terri will be posting on the blog starting tomorrow through Tuesday and I have complete and total faith that she will do an amazing job! In the meantime, make sure you check out her blogs: Terribull and Tampa Bay Style Online.

While I’m gone, I hope all of you behave as I plan not to. 😉
If you want to keep track of my west coast shenanigans, feel free to follow me on Twitter as I’m sure I will be as active as always, documenting the madness!

Lovable Friday!

1. Fox Scarf

Finally you can wear an animal around your neck and not get any slack from PETA! This perfectly kitschy knit scarf by Donna Wilson is too cute for words! In fact, I think I would find it too cute to wear. I would probably sit it on my couch, pretend it was my pet, feed it imaginary cupcakes and reminisce about one of my favorite childhood cartoons, David the Gnome.

BUSH Twitter Giveaway!

The always fabulous Gavin Rossdale just announced on his Twitter tonight that if he reaches 20,000 followers, he will gift one of them with a pair of VIP tickets to Epicenter Fest, where they will not only witness Bush’s first show back together since 2002, but do so from up-top the stage! So what are you waiting for? You can follow G right here! For how to enter the contest, read through the official rules on Bush’s Facebook page.

Don’t know if you guys remember, but I had a dream last month where I was asked to come onstage during Bush’s first show. Premonition? I hope so! Good luck to everyone who enters and regardless, I will see you all at Epicenter in only a couple of weeks!

Lovable Friday

1. Cast of The Romantics for J. Crew

I’m sure some of you remember when I featured what I believe will be my new favorite movie, The Romantics, on Lovable Friday last month. Well, the very stylish and beautiful cast has been chosen to model J. Crew’s new fall fashion line. I think J. Crew’s modern yet classic aesthetic fits in perfectly with the young and hip actors from the film. My only complaint is…where’s Elijah? For more pictures from the shoot, click here!
