Blog Test- Switchfoot Bro-Am

Alright so I am testing this thing out to see if I like blogging or not and if I'm going to want to continue it while I'm down under in Aussie Land. Finished my Final for my masters class on Friday night, went down to AJ's to get served by our favorite waitress Ashley before she left for Tulare and then headed down to Encinitas with Tim and Corina as I got observe the cute couple from the backseat just months before their wedding. A little "3rd wheelish" but fun! Got down to his cousin Jesse's at about 1:30am and slept in to wake to his aunt's famous breakfast burritos and doughnuts! Got down to Moonlight Beach to find the surf part of the competition had been canceled because of a gas spill in the ocean and that gave way to a Dodgeball tournament. Very funny to watch the guys from Switchfoot pegging other surfers with rubber balls while dressed as gorillas! The concert itself was pretty cool. Nothing fantastic til Jason Mraz got up there and then he had all attention with an amazing stage presence. Just him and his guitar, Toka Rivera on Conga, and a bass player but he blew the rest out of the water with his set. Amazing voice...someone to aspire to be like for sure! Afterward, Jon Foreman from Switchfoot came on to sing a few folk songs with Nickel Creek which were ok ,but then the rest of the guys came on to rock the place. Played a couple favorites, then invited the other bands to the stage to close out the show with a great rendition of Weezer's surf anthem "Surf Wax America". Great show, headed back to Tim's cousin's a while, played with his cute lil nephew Raymond and hit the road at midnight. 3 or 4 coffees, 3 pee breaks and a lot of tomfoolery and some good talks with Tim later we got back to Grover about 4:45. Don't know how I made it to church today but I know my bed is calling now!
