It's Rare That Two Can Get Along

Here are a few pictures/videos from No Doubt in Irvine 08/02/09. I had lawn seats (I'm only willing to spend that much money on Stones tickets or shoes) but the sound on the videos was still decent. Fun show, minus Paramore and the Paramore fans (they were all like 10-14 years old). It's funny the parallel between Paramore fans and Twilight fans (and probably Hot Topic fans as well).

The Sounds (because Maja is kind of awesome)

We got Sonic after since we were already in Orange County and they don't have one of those anywhere near LA.

Guns of Navarone while Gwen did a quickie wardrobe change

Most of Underneath it All... cute home movies playing in the background

My personal favorite part of the concert... Different People (great song... the concert was a little Rock Steady heavy, I was hoping for some more Total Hate, etc. so this was cool) & introducing the band members

His Car Is Warm And Dry

The other day, my brother went to a Reel Big Fish concert that so happened to also be a sort of 30th Year Reunion type deal for the Beat. Now, my brother is very much like me in that he basically doesn't come home from a show without a t-shirt or something. I get it, it's fun to collect. At THIS concert, though, he bought a bit of a project for me. He purchased an English Beat shirt almost identical to the one worn by Sting in the Police video for Don't Stand So Close To Me with the design as seen below:

Here's where I come in: Sting's shirt is all cut up, muscle-tee style, so my brother required my DIY scissor skills. Easy enough. 

I just cut off the sleeves, collar, and hem, no biggie.

see? 

Here's the video for reference (and music!):

As payment for my scissor-skills, I asked my brother to borrow the shirt to wear to the No Doubt concert I was going to the next day in Irvine (08/02/09).
