Jason Mraz Free Concert In Whistler
Reply
happenedIt was awesome!
First off, we happened to wander by the former medal cermonies area for the Winter olympic Games held in Whistler (and Vancouver, of course). This is now the outdoor concert venue.
Having seen videos of Jason Mraz, I remember his buddy "Mr. T"
and from across the plaza, i could make HIM out, with another guy sitting beside him. We wandered over to catch the pre show sound check with about 20 other people - very very cool!
The shows are at 730, so we showed up at about 7 - maybe 500 people laying on the grass sprawled around, Whistler casual. We strolled up to the front and took our place calmly, relaxedly about five rows from the front, no pushing, no crowding, plenty of room
Free, dead center, from five rows from the stage - and it was Jason Mraz!
By the time the concert began, people started streaming in, and there ended up being 5-10,000 people - if you came late, you'd have been a fair ways back.
of course, the concert was cool, grooving, chill - but if you've heard even ONE Jason Mraz song, you already know that - and it seemed like he loved the groove too.
We're doing it all over again for the Barenaked ladies!
