Omigosh. Well some of us have waited a long time for this week. This major, major, history making event thankfully available via television. An event that just by watching has you on the edge of your seat and wishing you were there? An event that has the ability to unite America and solve all of our problems?

The Republican National Convention? BAH! I’m talking about the return of 90210!!! Hellleeewww!

Brenda, Kelly, and word is–maybe one day even Dylan! AND…if you blinked, you would’ve missed it, but Sue Ellen from Dallas was totally on there too. So rich kids, the Peach Pit, great clothes, 90s stars AND a diva from Dallas?

So last night I went to a Shane and Shane concert.

This guy opened for opening act Bethany Dillon. I had no idea who he was. Maybe you’ve heard of him. Everyone around me had. His name is Ben Something-That-Rhymes-With-Hector. And I don’t remember his last name, but I remember being told that I WOULD recall it because it rhymed with Hector. Fat lot of good that did. Actually I think it’s Rector. But it also might’ve been Sector, Bector, or Schpector. Anyway, he had the most impressive, amazing voice. It was like Michael Buble meets John Mayer. He just needs some catchy songs to shoot him into stardom and Grey’s Anatomy song-of-the week status.

Here’s Bethany.

She was sick and snotty-nosed. But she has a great voice. She sings with her eyes closed. It was a little uncomfortable to watch. Are you one of those people who accidentally, unintentionally mimics the expressions of other people. I am. So I kept finding myself scrunching my face up. I was kind of tired by the time she was done. And in need of some Botox.

Here’s Shane and Shane.

Shane on the right is married to Bethany. . .

I was amazed at how well these guys harmonize. When you hear harmony on a CD you instantly think of all the studio engineering that goes into it. But these guys are the real deal. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard two people more talented at wrapping their voices together. Better than the Judds! (Though the Shanes probably couldn’t do justice to Love Can Build a Bridge…)

By now you probably get that I see “famous” people everywhere. It’s a gift, I tell you. Don’t be jealous. But at the concert, I saw Joey Fatone’s twin.

He was like WHY are you taking my picture, FREAK? Poor guy. I really think I weirded him out. I had to take quite a few pics because the lighting was so bad. He probably thinks I’m a stalker and expecting to see my face peeking in his bedroom window tonight. (Sorry to disappoint, but I had papers to grade.)

And this is a bad shot of him, but I found Jason Mraz!!

It’s so him. I really wanted to go up to him and beg him to tell me what “ I said tragedy is how you’re gonna spend, the rest of your nights with the light ,on so shine the light on all of your friends when it all amounts to nothing in the end” STINKIN’ MEANS!!! Jason Mraz, WHY do I want to shine the light on all of my friends? That sounds rude.

Okay, well we’ve survived the Dem and Rep conventions. I cannot WAIT to see Saturday Night Live’s take on all the political players.  It almost makes it all worth it.

Have a great weekend.
