Rise and shine, morning glory! 🙂 Guess who has a new obsession?
Yep, I’ve become obsessed lately with a series of videos on Vimeo called the Take Away Shows, which are basically these intimate, seemingly impromptu acoustic sets performed by musicians around the world, mostly in public venues, like while strolling down a city sidewalk, walking through a park or by an empty hotel bar.
And they’ve turned me on to a bunch of artists I’d never heard of before, like Hanni El Khatib.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a live performance…
Well, there was that kickin’ rock cover band at the summer fair in the parking lot of the mall last year (behind the Panera Bread and the T-Mobile store), but other than that, I don’t know — maybe the San Francisco Symphony performing with Duncan Sheik in 2010. That was a fun.
I’ve always loved live music, but these days I gotta have somewhere to sit, haha! I just don’t have the stamina/wherewithal to stand for two hours and wait for a band to start playing at 11. Seriously, 11 is my bedtime now.
Okay, that sounded very Liz Lemony…
How about we pretend I didn’t say it and get on with the giveaway? 🙂

I’ve never been to a concert!
Happy Saturday… Woohoo long weekend. Be safe everyone!
I am aspiring to become a stylist and today I took my first step to making my dream come true
I’ve only been to Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood’s concerts and I didn’t dress up unless you count wearing their tour tshirts 🙂
I could never sing in front of an audience.
DH and I are planning to see Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks later this year.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen a live performance.
I went to a concert last night – VNV Nation. And I’m driving to Tampa to do it again tonight!
One of the most memorable concerts I ever attended was The Jacksons — about three years before “Thriller” came out and Michael became a megastar. They were sensational.
Mama needs a new eyelash curler… and maybe one of those new YSL glosses!
Since I have been into makeup couple years now, I haven’t really attended a live concert before that I was into concerts but I guess it’s solely due to me being a parent now & not finding the time for all those old habits.
Happy Saturday
I am so tired!! My kids woke me up at 6:30 on a Saturday. SOOOOO cruel, lol. Winning would be so awesome!
it is one of my goals to see more concerts!
I won’t even sing in my apartment alone.
Whoop! Whoop! What a great giveaway.
I love Sephora, much better than Ulta, certainly for the reward program!
I’ve been to 3 concerts in my live. As a teenager I went to see the Backstreet Boys, and the 3T’s (MJ’s nehews). And then later in my early twenties I went to see Calogero – a french/italian singer – still in love with him, but from the US it’s hard ’cause he isn’t known here at all.
The reason why I don’t go to concerts more often, is just because I don’t like the crowd, and being pushed everywhere. This counts for mall shopping too, I rather go during the week, and avoid lunchtime.
(I also tweeted, my name is @Gayleswishlist)
I just went to the gym! A great start to my Saturday!
I want to win today
I love the Take Away Shows. My favorites are Yeasayer’s 2080 (which is amazing, there’s quite the twist in it), Bon Iver, and Lykke Li’s. Phoenix’s 1901 is also super fun!
I’d love to see Janelle Monae or Blondie!
I love seing live concerts. Especially outdoors in the summer. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway.
I haven’t been to a concert in awhile. The last one I attended was Madonna (Sticky & Sweet Tour) at Madison Square Garden in 2009.
I think I’d like to see Katy Perry or Lady GaGa perform. 🙂
Last concert I went to was U2 in Pittsburgh last July. I love your blog 🙂
I haven’t been to a concert in years.
i’m starting this beautiful day off with a hot cup of tea. happy saturday!
the last concert i went to was Guster, and it was fabulous
I’d love to see My Morning Jacket perform live!
Ever since I heard “Wordless Chorus” I’ve been hooked!
Saw U2 in Chicago last year…second time! All I can say is that Bono still has it goin’ on. Hottttt!
I’ve actually never been to a live concert!
I sang Celine Dion in a 4th grade talent show!
I also haven’t been to a concert in years…they’re so expensive now.
My first concert was Godsmack, and I felt so special because my friend and I got to hang out with the roadies after the show. Not the band, the roadies, lol! We were so young!
I’ve never been to a concert!
I saw Britney Spears last year during her FF tour, and it was amazing! It was so sad/annoying that the reviews of the concert were scathing and really inaccurate. It seems to me that the media over here was just out to get Britney and I really don’t get why.
The last live concert I attended was kinda ‘meh’, so it’ll probably be awhile before I attend another one.
So much stuff I could use right now, so little money. I really want to try out the 24/7 eyeliners we were tweeting about. 🙂
I love live concerts! The last few I’ve been to have just been for my friends’ bands, haha. I live in a small town that’s really good about promoting local musicians!
Have a good weekend! I think the last concert I went to was for Utada 🙂 or maybe the Glee one.
i went to a 98 degrees concert when i was a teenager! yay for boy bands!
Oh the last crazy look i sported to a concert was goin to see Jeffree Star (google if you don’t know him, he’s lady gaga but a little more insane). I wore the biggest lashes i’ve ever worn, thank you MUFE! i had some pink extensions and i contoured my face with glitter. it was fierce! Although removing it made me look like a terrible Ke$ha wannabe! There was glitter everywhere! you would have thought i drowned tinkerbell in my sink!
My hair’s not so bad today! Wish it was better, though.
the last concert i went to was No Doubt a long time ago and by far my favorite!
love Gwen!
Went to a rock concert festival last summer
I saw Taylor Swift’s Speak Now concert in August with my best friend. We had the time of our lives.
The last concert I went to was Bush and Gavin was rocking it!
The last concert I went to was Gwen Stefani. I went all out on my hair and makeup and wore all L.A.M.B. clothes. It was so much fun!
I’m about to get on an airplane. I’m also very sleepy. Maybe I’ll take a nap.
I wish the Spice Girls would reunite for a tour, I’d love to visit their concert!
The first time I went to Lollapolooza I tried glitter eyeliner….and it was a hot mess!
I am having a good hair day bc I just went to the salon yesterday.
I’d really like to go to another Evanescence concert, I’ve only been to one of theirs back in 04.
Relationships are hard and complicated. Takes a lot to make it work. 🙂 Just a random thought. Have a good weekend, Karen!
Nope my hair is a mess, tried a homemade hair conditioner made of avocado and olive oil.. It didnt work that well 😛
good hair day=yes!!
My last concert was during Super Bowl week. Several free concerts went on that week. I saw En Vogue and Patti LaBelle.
Nice Oasis reference, Love them! If only they’d get over their brotherly squabbles and get back to brilliant music. They’d be great live!
I went to see Eric Clapton a few years ago. At one point, he switched his electric guitar for an acoustic one. Someone in the audience shouted “plug it in!”. I laughed so hard, I cried! Luckily Clapton laughed too. The heckler was soon silenced when Clapton began to play “Layla” – Awesome night!!
Today started out pretty great, I had breakfast and stated reading Karen’s blog and tweeted about it. The next thing I know was she replied to my tweet. I was so happy! Read some Mac lipstick reviews and my friend got me some of those lipsticks. Thanks to Karen for her great and very entertaining blog. 🙂
rainy two days here … but i love it!
I saw Lady Gaga last year. It was so much fun!
I enjoy seeing live music, so I try to see local bands. But, the last major concert I went to must have been Radiohead, at an outside concert. It was fab, and a great time.
it has been many years since I last attended a live concert. It was at the Aragon here in Chicago and featured a variety of then popular Vietnamese artists.
I haven’t been to a concert in years, but I did see Smokin’ Joe Kubek with Bnois King a few times when I lived in Buffalo. Joe plays some amazing Blues guitar and Bnois sings. They’re amazing.
What’s really cool is that I got to meet them, because my ex-husband’s aunt used to date Joe (they were also dating for a bit one of the times I saw him). We went to Niagara Falls & even to our apartment to hang out. He was very nice and even my cat really liked him, as shown when she brought him one of her favorite pom poms for him to throw. 😀
It has been far too long since I have been to a live as well. I hope to remedy this situation soon!
I have to help the BF shop for art supplies. Blah.
I’m having a good hair day (I almost never have bad hair day, but when I almost have one I just make a bun, and there is good hair day again :))
I´m on vacation!
I haven’t been to a conert in forever. I can’t even remember the last time. . . Hair day? Not too shabby. My hair has been behaving lately.
The last concert I went to was by far my favorite. It was Gomez, after flying across the country to see it with my bff/sister. So many memories in one night!
Red Hot Chili Peppers concert would be nice……
The last concert I went to was a John Mayer concert… he’s amazing!!!
I haven’t been to a concert in forever!
please let me win for once!
I really want to win this! 🙂
Yeah, I sang in front of my entire high school class. And I sang the national anthem. *shudder*
I’ve never been to a live concert, I’m not big on crowds.
The last concert I went to was Kina Grannis in Orlando and she was amazing!!!
Not embarrassed to say that the last concert I went to was New Kids On the Block….like a year or two ago. 🙂 Had to let my childhood self go–and I had a blast!!! lol
I love concerts. Depeche Mode’s “Touring the Angel” was my best ever.
shakin all the bad vibes.
Today I’m really excited for my EQ3 Canadian Polo Slate Couch to come.
It’s being delivered and it’s my 1st real pieces of furniture.
I never go to rock concerts anymore, not doing too well in big crowds, but love to go to to classical concerts if I can get cheap tickets!
I rocked MAC’s club eyeshadow to too many concerts to count.
I was once Winnifred in “Once Upon a Mattress”
And I was good, if I do say so myself 🙂
I love summer concerts! Im buying my tickets for the Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw concert this morning. Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Last show I went to was a band called Beirut, at the Fox Theater in Oakland – what a great show! Beirut’s music has a lot of gypsy music influence, and their songs really make me happy. Check ’em out!
Having a nice lazy Saturday!
I’ve only been to one “real” concert. I’ve always wanted to see Simon and Garfunkel in concert but I very much doubt that will happen.
Today is a simple hair day-just pulled my hair in a pony tail since I am working most of the day. It’d be awesome to win the giveaway to reward myself for working so hard all week 🙂 Have a great weekend!
i haven’t been to a concert in years! i miss it! nothing like live music.
Halloween 2010 I wore really crazy makeup 🙂
I love concerts my last one was Backstreet boys and NKOTB. Before that was GAGA!!!!
The last concert I went to was Owl City last July.
Excited for this.. random but lately i’ve been loving glitter nails!
🙂 good luck everyone, Aimen.
Last weekend we went to a concert. My friend and one of my professors play in the local symphonic orchestra. I never really listen to classical music, so it’s a nice change of pace. Plus, I feel good supporting a community group. =)
I just started watching 30 Rock, so I now get all these Liz Lemon references! That was certainly on point!
My favorite concerts were boy band concerts!
Tweeted under gorjess07 😉
Last time I went to a concert it was warned tour over summer and it was amazing. I’m have a really good hair day I did a cool new hairstyle where you do a upside down French braid at the back of your head only half way and then put the rest of your hair in a bun. I got compliments from my mom, cousin and bf on how cool it looks.
Good hair day! Just got it cut into my signature A-line bob with a few fiery-red streaks peaking through. The hubby likes very much! 😀
I’m having a good hair day, but I know that won’t last. It’s rainy and windy out, so the moment I step outside my hair is going to go crazy and frizzy. Just a general yucky weather day.
My last concert was LCD Soundsystem, which was a while ago. They were fantastic though.
My last (and first) concert was for my most favourite band in the entire world, Death Cab for Cutie! It was incredible.
On another note, I’m watching the Whitney Houston funeral and the love everyone has for her is amazing.
Black eyed peas concert was the best ever! I wore heels and learned to never do it again on a concert!
Last performance I saw was The Wreckers.
The last concert I went to was 2 hours from where I live, on a Wednesday, and I went by myself. The group is from Norway, and I had been waiting for them to be coming someone close to where I live for years, and none of my friends wanted to go because it was in the middle of a work week and weren’t particularly fans. I got to meet to band and had a blast. We actually chat on occasion online 😀
I went to a Maroon5/Train/Gavin Degraw concert last summer and was very surprised by how amazing it was. One of the best ones I’ve been to by far!!
Unfortunately I am SO not having a good hair day. I have a head cold and could give a fig about what my hair looks like, so unfortunately it looks like I’ve been caught in a wind tunnel.
♥ Jessica
My last concert was a Rachael Yamagata one! She sounds amazing live – just like her records 🙂
I sang in front of an audience for a chorus concert!
I’d love to see Lifehouse.
I am really anxiously awaiting my Shop MAC/Cook MAC to come in the mail from my friend =]
My makeup addiction is being slowly replaced by home decor. Im literally on pinterest for hours on end.
I have been to 8 Bon Jovi concerts and will probably keep going! I love them. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ALLEN STONE! He’s AMAZING.
The last big concert I went to was back in June- my husband, mother in law, and I went to Berlin to see Roger Waters from Pink Floyd perform “The Wall.” It was awesome!
My last concert was Chris Brown’s. I got tickets for my boyfriend’s birthday. 🙂
The last concert I went to was Big Sean.
I rarely go to concerts anymore, either. However, I did actually go to one last weekend, but only because my brother bought me the ticket for Christmas.
I went to a Kesha concert and my friends and I did the whole messy curls, glittery eye makeup with LOTSS of liner and glitter of course! Don’t even get me started on the Katy Perry concert!
The last concert I went to was Soundgarden in the fall, and it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. My make-up turned out pretty well, too (matte red lips and winged eyeliner), but the second Kim Thayil came on stage, the rest of the world sort of melted away.
The last concert I went to was a Coldplay concert, and I would like to see Fiona Apple live one day! Hopefully soon because her new album might be released this year!!! So exciting :))
I would like to see Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars perform live. Thanks for the giveaway!
K-money and t-dawg please pick me!! 🙂 I love essies new spring line of nail polish!
I hear ya. I’m supposed to go to a late show tomorrow (I wouldn’t be home until about 2am), but I think I’d rather hang out with a good friend all afternoon and be home by ten.
I’m having a good hair day today. Thank you for the giveaway!
OMG, I can’t remember the last concert I’ve been to. How sad is that? I think it may have been Jimmy Eat World like 6 years ago. Man, that makes me feel old. I hope you, El Hub, and T-Money are having a swell weekend so far. 🙂
I would love to see cat power, Julieta Venegas and Radiohead in concert. The last concert I attended was Alejandro Fernandez with Marc Anthony! loved it!
I’ve seen Nick Howard sing but I’ve never been to a concert
I’m having a pretty good hair day, I think! A little static-y but not bad! 🙂
I just saw Coldplay last week in Los Angeles and it was amazing. They have never been a favorite of mine, but they are so talented I definitely left a fan!
The last concert I went to see was Carly Simon and Hall and Oates.
My husband didn’t know who Hall and Oates were and he kept referring to them as “Hauling Oats”. lol
Last time I went to a concert was to see Usher.
It’s been a while since I’ve gone to a concert, but we’re going to Digitour next month, and then a couple days later Gotye and Kimbra are coming to town!
the best concert i’ve been to featured the wombats. i got onstage and danced next to matt murphy before being ushered off. most fun, it was.
Last concert I went to was Taylor Swift’s this past June and it was AMAZING. So amazing I went twice, back to back. Love her
gonna snow tonight
I just shopped at sephora this valentine’s day.
I saw House of Pain ( the 90’s white Irish rap group that sang “Jump Around” at House of Blues, San Diego on St Patrick’s Day last year. We left early because unbeknownst to us (hub & I), they had turned from rap to a country band? What?! Why?! They probably did “Jump Around” eventually but we weren’t going to stay indefinitely to find out!
I used to go to immense rock concerts all the time, when I was a teenager. Monsters of Rock, Ozzy, AC/DC, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Aerosmith, GNR, I went to ALL the hair metal shows in Boston.
My last rock concert was many moons ago– like, back in the 89. It was a triple header of BJ with both Billy Squier and Sid Row opening, and Sam Kinison emceed and performed comedy– a huge, amazing show that definately gave us bang for our buck.
I’ve been to classical, jazz, folk etc. performances since then, but that was my last big-venue rock bash. Sometimes I miss the old days 🙂
The last concert that I went was to Damian Marley in Milan!!!
I worked at a concert hall for 3 years and I hate to say it but I almost get annoyed with concerts now! But that’s only because it was always music I didn’t like. My favorite show I ever went to was Maroon 5 back in 2005. 🙂
Don’t remember my last concert but my favorite was Pearl Jam at Austin City Limits in 2009.
My first concert was a backstreet boys concert…..yup I loved boy bands.
my first concert ever was coldplay a number of years ago. they put on an AMAZING show.
Mu first concert was DMB.. Live shows at the best!!
I have a bad hair day every day 🙁
jslbrown_03 at yahoo dot com
Can’t handle live concerts anymore; they give me migraines. I love TABS!!!
Last concert I went to was Boyce Avenue’s; they’re a fantastic new band making it big on YouTube. Really amazing voice and acoustic work!
I’ve never been to a concert, yet! Thanks for the giveaway!
It’s hard for me to have a bad hair day since my hair is so straight, it doesn’t really do anything. I love my hair though!
I saw a band play last night that was SO FUNKY!! They had a keyboard and great guitarist and the singer reminded me of James Brown! My girls and I had a blast shaking it all around! I LOVE live music!!!
The last time I went to a concert was for coldplay, it was amazing, it was 3 years ago!!
I’ve never been to a live concert; well, not a memorable one, anyway. I love listening to all different types of music, but I also like to avoid loud, raucous crowds heh
I’ve been to a couple of Spanish artist concerts and one U2 concert. All were great!
The last concert that I watched was Ziggy Marley in Cincinnati, OH. I wish I can watch Jon Bon Jovi this year. 😉
Mexico here I come! Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I wish I have enough money to buy me a Guarlain Samsara Rouge Automatic
Its a beautiful day!
I would love to see Kings Of Leon live!! They’are amazing and I haven’t had the chance to go to one of their concerts yet.
ugh I’ve had THE worst headache since I woke up… some online Spring window shopping should help 🙂
I would really love to see the jonas brothers live!! Thanks for the give away Karen!
I wanna win!
I used to work in the theatre, so I’m used to singing/dancing/acting on stage. I did it throughout most of my childhood, and still do it from time to time now. Even then, I always loved the makeup/costume time! 🙂
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a concert. I think the last one was two years ago to see Muse.
This morning was spent in cat lady mode: lazy in bed with my two cats cuddling next me. 😉
Happy Saturday! I have never been to a “real concert”. I wanna win, please?! 🙂
The last concert I attended was last June when I took my husband to see Peter Gabriel for his birthday. Amazing show, but I wished he had played more of his hits. The guy looks and sounds fantastic.
Love your blog. It’s the first place I go before I try something new. Thanks for your insight because it either saved me money, or made me a good investment! Xoxo
My boyfriend and I love going to concerts together. Especially since mosh pits can tend to break out and I need him to protect me!
Getting ready to go to a partay! WOOO! and i have never been to a concert, but id love to go!
My favorite concert I’ve been to is radiohead! It was so good!
That pic of the girl with green on her face is really cool – looks mossy or kinda moldy.
I’d love to go to Coachella. I missed out this year because my husband couldn’t get time off…but definitely planning to go next year!
i hope you have an incredible weekend filled with lots of laughs xx
i really want to go to the Mana concert, it sooo expensive though
I just saw Sleigh Bells at Terminal 5 last night–they put on a good show, but they also decided not to come on until 11 lol…i was such a tired mess haha
Just listened to this CD by a very talented guitarist my mom saw live not to long ago. Amazing how many notes at once and how fast this guy can play! His name is don ross if you’re interested. 😀
Rainy day here, hoping for a nap!
I haven’t been to a concert in ages, I need to do something about that!
nope never sang in front of an audience
I’m just sitting around with a hair mask and plastic bags on my head watching Supernatural.
Rain’s Concert here in Manila!! 🙂 I cried when I saw him!
Hope you’re having a good day Karen!
I’ve never worn a costume to a concert but I did wear one to several of the Harry Potter movie premieres…..does that count? ^_^
The last concert I saw was Ben Harper, sophomore year of college. That was 5 years ago… I’m not much of a concert goer, really.
I’m having quite a dreadful hair day today but a $50 gift card to sephora can change that!!
I never was one for concerts. I like live music but I hate waiting forever for the band, hate most of the other people at the concert (so rude, usually), and hate standing foreeeeeever.
Last August and I saw The Band Perry and Craig Morgan.
Although it’s past Valentine’s Day, my church is holding various Valentine’s Day dinners for each college graduating class, in which the boys serve the girls dinner. Yum, and just how it should always be! 😉 I’m excited!
Oh my goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a legit concert for an artist that I enjoyed O.O I think last time I went to a semi-concert was with my mom, and she wanted to see a bunch of old Chinese artists perform or something…haha
I’ve recently tried zoya nailpolish and i love them!!!
cats rule! and dogs drool!
PS luv yer site!!
maybe this time
I love singing karaoke in Japanese karaoke houses… unfortunately they don´t have any where I live so I sing in the shower instead.
Pray for me
I saw A Separation last night. It was so good. Uncomfortable, and moving.
The fact that it’s Saturday is totally a legitimate reason to be craving pancakes… right?
can’t wait for spring! put away my long winter coat already!!
Stevie Wonder sang my favorite song at Whitney’s funeral – RIP Whitney♥
Seeing my baby and our cat sleeping soundly next to me warmed my heart up in a freezing night. I love both of them so much! /kiss
It was about 3 months ago and it was Lindsey Buckingham. Unfraaking believable! Hard to get out these days with a toddler in tow, so it’s got to be someone we love. I think I’m going to buy tix to see Steve Martin & his bluegrass band for my husband’s bday.
The last show I went to was my boyfriend playing a little solo acoustic set up in Auburn a couple of weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M7hhpABhq8
If you want a live music fix, Karen, he (and others) will be playing a ton at the new Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael when it opens in a couple weeks. It’s going to be a great new spot in Marin for live music, and lots of it before 11pm 🙂
I’d love to see green day live, or fall out boy again.
i lost my phone thursday night, but my friend found it in her car today! yay!
Last concert I went to was Dresden dolls a few years ago.
I went to see leslie gore with my parents when i was little but i would love to see Lady Gaga in concert!
I don’t have to go to work on Monday. Woohoo!
The last date of Spin Doctor’s reunion tour, in Italy. Had a good time!
The last concert I went to was a music festival during the summer. I got to see my favorite band and other awesome acts for the first time!
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
I would love to see Adele perform live
Just came off a series of concerts here in Indianapolis for the SuperBowl! Multiple concerts each night for over a week – so much fun… Adam Levine was my favorite, but LMFAO drew the biggest crowd (estimated over 300,000 people!).
I went to see the Tragically Hip two years ago!
Perfect day in Hawaii!
my last concert was taylor swift and we all wore cowboy hats !
Hope you have a beautiful long weekend!

I wish I could see Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadows in person. I am really interested in Solstice Halcyon. It looks gorgeous in online photos.
The last concert I wen to was Paul Van Dyke in New York City with the hubz! We boarded a train, went to the show, then afterparty, and wandered around the city until around 6 a.m. when we boarded our train back home. It was so much fun!!!
i’d love to see either ingrid michaelson or regina spektor perform live!
I love a good concert!
My last concert I think was 2 summers ago! LAME!
I used to go to concerts at least every month in high school. Now none of my favorite bands tour near me.
mmm i want to go to boaroo really bad so many great bands this year st vincent the shins and so forth!!
I saw The Police live in 2007 when I graduated high school.
The only time I’ve “sang” in front of an audience is when my friends and I got drunk in college and sang karaoke. I wish I could take it back.
last concert… I’m embarrassed… it was NSYNC… like 15 years ago.. true story. Don’ t judge
Every time I sung in front of an audience, it always turned out bad. Mic wasn’t working…music was too loud…etc etc etc. XD I love to sing though. 😛
I used to go to the Vans Warped Tour when I was younger. The first time I went, Joan Jett played. I didn’t know who she was, and I was so confused over why she was in a bikini top 😛
I’m going to Disney world tomorrow!
I haven’t been to a concert in some time. My hometown has a week long festival every summer called SummerFest, which is basically a giant music festival. I would go for a couple days every year. I haven’t really attended much after I moved away.
Hello Karen! The last concert I went to was a Lil Wayne concert last summer – and DRAKE showed up! 😀 best concert ever, hands down 🙂
I used to go to concerts all the time in the 80’s and 90’s. Not so much anymore…
I’m looking at beauty blogs instead of studying lol.. I’ve only been to one concert it was a while I can’t remember who it was
My last concert was Band of Horses. I like the majority of their stuff so it was great to see them live!
I have sung in front of a crowd at a school concert. At first I was a bit nervous but once the crowd start cheering me on I was so overwhelm 🙂
It seems as I get older the concerts I loved to go to don’t come around as often as they used to. Also, I feel like an old fogey when I listen to the radio and think that the music isn’t as good as it used to be.
The last concert I saw was Guster last April. It was a lot of fun, and I was glad I started at 9. 🙂
Lalala
When was the last time you went to a concert (and who performed)?
About 9 years ago, I went to a Goo Goo Dolls concert in college with a few girlfriends.
Have you ever worn a costume or crazy makeup to a concert?
Nope, just normal clothes.
Have you ever sung in front of an audience before?
Sort of. I did karaoke once in college. I sang “Thank You” by Dido and I was so petrified that my voice kept wobbling. When I finished the DJ said, “Not bad for a first timer!” I couldn’t tell if he meant that insultingly or genuinely.
Are you having a good hair day today?
It’s just twisted up into a messy knot with an elastic band, so I guess so?
Whom would you like to see perform live?
Gogol Bordello!
My reading break is over! Back to school on Monday. BOOo
last concert, third day
I successfully applied eyeliner for the first time on Thursday!!!
Yay for Saturdays. Well, that’s what I would have said back in high school. What do I say now??????
Yay gift card! The last concert I went to was They Might be Giants, and I had to leave before they even got on stage cause I had to work the next day and they were super late. Being old ain’t easy…
Just got a haircut and enjoying the long weekend! (Even if I do have a paper to write…)
The postman keeps reading my magazines before delivering them -_-
i did my nails today 🙂 used sally hansen complete manicure in CHERRY CHERRY BANG BANG. i love it!
I really want to try asian cosmetics, I think the colors will be more easy to match to my Korean skin. Plus, I’m hoping that since those countries have more monolids, I’ll have a better chance of finding smudgeproof eye makeup.
Finally got a Wii and all my packages arrived before President’s Day!
Just got my hair cut, so I’m having a pretty fab hair day.
I was in the Opera last night! It was a beautiful ballet performance!
long weekend! yippers! =)
I need to get a haircut…my ends are pretty bad atm.
I have never been to a concert before… unless you count the kpop one I went to at my college gym.
Like Erin, I also got my hair cut today – so, yep great hair day!! I’m with you – don’t have the stamina for live concerts unless I can sit to enjoy them. We have a friend who plays in a jump blues/swing band locally. We get out to see them every few months. Benefit of playing smaller, local venues = places for people to sit!!
I’ve been watching the coverage of Carnaval in Salvador, Brazil and I wish I was there enjoying the music!
I saw the Backstreet Boys in concert before. Now I really want to see Taylor Swift!
I need a nap and it’s 5 pm on a Saturday. My party days are over lol
My last concert was Bryan Adams 🙂
I would love to see Florence & the Machine in concert
At school aged about 15 my French class had to sing “Sur le pont d’Avignon” at an open evening for the parents. Cringe!
What a Day! I could really use this 🙂
I’ve actually never been to a concert.
The last time that I went to a concert was actually in October of 2011 in Las Vegas Neveda!! I am from Ohio and my best friend from Toronto, Canada. We had one day free before the festival started (it was a two day thing, the 48 Hours Festival) and we walked around Vegas, gambled a bit and went sight seeing and then the day of the concert we actually met two people who knew the band we were most excited to see and we got to go to the after party at the Palms hotel. It was literally the best day of my life! Then the second day of the festival we ended up going later in the day because we didn’t care about too much of the bands and we met The Situation from Jersey Shore! It was literally one of the craziest weekends of my life and I had so much fun! It was also the last time I saw my best friend and I cant wait to go to another concert with her again!
Getting my new car tomorrow!
I want to see Nine Inch Nails and U2 sometime in my life I hope!
I love the new Mac fluidlines!
The last time I went to a concert was the sungod festival in san diego!
My last show was Taj Mahal.
Does Tabs have any animal friends? Perhaps another a kitty or a dog or is he a loner?
I’d love to win that giftcard to buy crazy makeup for an upcoming concert. Love this blog 🙂
I am having a horrible hair day today! I’ve been out all day for my cousin’s bridal shower and have just been going all day non stop!
I haven’t been to a concert in forever but I am going with the bf to see Lady Antebellum next month. I can’t wait!! 🙂
The last one I went to was The Smiths. It was at an outdoor venue with plenty of elbow room-and the only other concert I’ve ever been to was at the same place because I have a real fear/dislike of having a lot of sweating strangers crowded around me and touching me.
I really need some lipstick today. It’s gonna make me smile. 🙂
Saw Brett Dennen live not too long ago. Only a soulless robot could not love him. 🙂
Jealous of Elizabeth W.-would like to see Brett Dennen! Would love to see Florence and the Machine, Adele, Dawes, and Katie Melua.
It’s heck being old-the last concert I went to see was my kid’s band concert LOL!
I have never sung in front an audience, and I never plan to! I have a horrible voice!
The last concert I saw was Paul Simon at the Greek. My husband won tickets by answering a question on the radio.
I just got the My Glam bag in the mail today, so happy!
Bon Jovi last year in Chicago -whoooo boy, he can still ROCK those leather pants!
The last concert I went to was the American Idol tour last year..it was great!
I love live concerts but it’s been a while since i’ve been to one.
Had to change a tire today…ugh
I can’t wait to buy some new make up!
I’ve sung in front of audiences in a few plays — never solo, always as part of a group.
I have sung in front of an audience – it was a long time ago now, but I was a “featured vocalist” my senior year of high school. I love singing, and I wish I had more opportunities to do it outside of my car. 🙂
I have bad hair day for awhile now , need a haircut -_-;
I’m about to catch up on Downton Abbey! 🙂
My first concert was with my mom, grandma and aunt! We saw the Dixie Chicks in a massive stadium. It was pretty fun for my 12 year old self.
I will go to Florence and the machine concert @ Phoenix on Apr 20th : D
I’m about to do my makeup for a family reunion haha :3
Last concert i went to was K-OS. Dying to go to Madonna, but tix sold out and too expensive.
Hope you have a great weekend!!
I just paiinted my nails. (:
Due with our little girl on Thursday – can’t wait!!!!
I went to go see Morrissey in November. I adore him and I looove the Smiths!
This is so exciting. Love Sephora and love you!!!
Rock in Rio! It was amazing! Katy Perry, Rihanna, Elton John, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour… =D
Just watched Thor – it was brilliant. A Shakespearean story line with great action and MAJOR eye candy!
Totally wanting that lychee luxe lipglass you love! looks like the perfect shade of coral…
I’m excited for next Sunday. I will be traveling to Europe 🙂 Can’t wait!
I’ve never been to a concert – crowds and loud noises freak me out!
I have a blue blankie. It has satin edges. I love it.
Ive recently started making my own eyeshadows and have been getting very daring when going out on the town. I recently tried a dark purple and blue smokey eye then covered it with glitter and fake lashes. I love how makeup can make you feel! Its the perfect look if going to a concert too. Its fun to get all glammed up with your girlfriends!
Last concert me and my husband went to was Eddie Veddar…AHHHHH-MAZING! love his gruffy voice 😉
The last concert I went to was Alicia Keys in Las Vegas. No one good seems to come to Hawaii so I usually catch concerts when I visit the mainland. I’ve never worn costumes for them.
retweeted!

The last concert I went to was in SF when I lived in CA last year! I went to see Greg Laswell and Lenka. I would LOVE to see Florence and the Machine someday.
love to win for wifey poo
I’m having a pretty good hair day today– I think good hair days make your whole day better!
it was raining cats and dogs here today and a little cold. my hair ended up looking frizzy which never happens. i went to Sephora (the Mother Ship) and bought some Dry Recovery from Ojon, which seems to help my ends. Thanks for the contest!!!!!!
OJON IS AMAZING!
the only hair mask ive used where my bf [the next day] noticed a difference and said how soft my hair was (didnt tell him i used anything). not a fan of the smell though. so i washed it out like 10 times, but that just shows how awesome it is. all that washing out and and still a noticeable difference.
M&B readers try this stuff!! and if you like the smell get the whole set! a little pricey, youll get your dollars worth though.
Some of my friends have a band. They made one of their bigger local shows a mustache party, so I used a mustache on a stick. All our friends had mustaches, real and fake, so the pictures turned out pretty awesome!
could use this for sure!
I need some new spring makeup.
I’m a terrible singer… I could never, ever sing in front of anyone.
I just tweezed my eyebrows and I literally feel like a new person. They were that bad haha.
I’m watching commentaries on Season 1 of Community and online window shopping at the same time!
i loveee that show!!! i sure hope it comes back! they say hand written letters [sent to nbc] are the best thing to help save a show. critics rave, but its just not getting the viewership for some reason. but 2 1/2 men is one of the most popular shows? ughh. people are so stupid sometimes.
Glory glory man united!!
Your blog is awesome =)
I think the last concert I went to was Madonna. I thought it was very diva of her to insist on turning up the heat in the venue (it was a summer concert) but she is amazing so it was worth it.
What do you think is the longest time it’s OK to not wash your hair? I’ve gone up to 4 days, but by then it looks super super super gross (but I’m just WAY too busy to have time to wait for my hair to dry before sleeping, so I just don’t wash my hair that often). The most I can go with my hair looking good the entire day is 2. On Day 3, it starts out looking fine, but by the time I get back home, it looks like a grease-ball.
Old 97’s in Houston at the House of Blues! It was a belated birthday present from my boyfriend and it was awesome, despite my having to stand for five hours in high-heeled boots on a freshly torn calf.
What happened? I used to go to concerts all the time in high school. Now the idea of standing for hours and random people touching me sounds like torture!
Hmmm…there’s no food here, and hasn’t been for several days. Groceries might be a good idea.
Wow my last concert. hmmm I think it was a Busta Rhymes concert.
-Shakiyla
Hi Karen! So, I like your topic for today’s contest because it reminds me of a time when I did used to sing in front of audiences- a lot! I was/am/forever will be part of a girl’s singing group who did cover songs (mostly Destiny’s Child!). Sigh, it was such a fun part of my life. Thanks for bringing me back! As for future concerts… I just bought my tix for Madonna at HP Pavillion in San Jose in October! Are you going?!
Speaking of good hair days, as a matter of fact I am! I used a tiny bit of olive oil on my hair because this morning I had to rush out the door to get someone lovely to work. When I came back I realized my hair was already starting to frizz…so olive oil to the rescue!
Might use this on the new Bareminerals blushes!
I still cant believe whitney houston is Gone! 🙁
I’m having a bad hair year. I need a hair cut but have had horrible luck finding a good hair stylist.
I sing in local cafe’s where I live. I love it. I love to write music too.
Favourite concert moment – speaking to this guy next to me and then 1 song later he went on the stage to play with the band as their guest!
I saw U2 last summer at Giants Stadium, it was awesome!
having a good hair day today cause i just got a haircut 🙂
I had a pretty good hair and makeup day today.
I think the last concert I went to was when B’z played at the Fillmore last year :). It was fantastic.
It’s my birthday tommorow! 😉 I’d love a present…
I think the last concert I went to was a Cyndi Lauper concert. Love her! She sounds just as good as she did in the 80s.
Got a sample of Armani silk foundation has anyone else tried it?
Hopefully going to UME (ultimate music experience) this spring break!
I’ve never been to a live concert before. One day 🙂
i’m sleepy!
I’ve been fortunate enough to see John Legend, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, and Alan Jackson in concert. I would live to see Jill Scott live. She is such an extraordinary singer! Also wouldn’t mind watching Adele. She has such a beautiful voice!
Saw Interpol last April – yes, an outside no seating concert is rough when you’re Liz L.’s age – husband and I felt so weird when we realized we were probably one of the oldest couples there – oh well 🙂
The last concert I went to, I watched White Wives (a band my boyfriend likes) and they were pretty good. I’m going to watch Ingrid Michaelson soon (one of my favorite artists) and I would love to see Imogen Heap or Adele! They’re amazing! Oh or Sara Bareilles! (:
Beautiful fresh snow came in today, which is perfect for my skiing plans tomorrow!
Today is a good day.

i finally got a keratin treatment done on my hair. it feels sooo amazing.
Last concert I went was of Bryan Adams. It was amazing!!

Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow <3
I haven’t been to a concert for quite some time 🙁
So glad it’s a three day weekend
Dir en grey is phenomenal live:)
I’ve never been to a concert but if I could see one it would be a Coldplay concert with Moose.
I’d like to see Adele perform live 🙂
January 15th. Joshua Bell, classical violinist. A-mazing!
Oh, I’ve never won anything before! But I do get so excited at the hope and excitement of it all! Congratulations to the winner, whoever that may be! Hopefully me!
i’d love to see taylor swift live 🙂
I don’t go to concerts often, but the last time was a friend’s band at a bar.
Going to see a concert in SF next Friday at the Theatre of Fine Arts. Very excited! 🙂
I can’t remember the last concert I went to-Oh yes, Wale on campus here. But I hold a concert every morning in my shower but by voice is different since I had my tonsils removed in Nov ’11. 🙁
Last time I went to a concert was a classic Japanese performance with my blind friend playing the Koto. It was in a large tatami room and we all sat on the floor in proper style. My feet were asleep and aching by the end of the concert!
it is soooo time for live music in my life
wahoo odd future it was karayzee
The last concert I went to was in high school.
YAY! Long weekend! Definitely planning on getting some sleep!
As for live performances, I would love to see Coldplay, Adele, or Big Time Rush in concert! They all sound amazing LIVE!
Love music, I use to relax after a long day at work.
I’ve only been to one concert when I was 15 and it was a Bow Wow concert. It was ok…until my sister got sick.
three day weekend, hooray!
I was a part of a church choir back in high school 😀
so i had trouble cleaning my foundation brush today its a flat top and the foundation gets all in the brush and its so hard to get out, any ideas or help? thank you!
Old Mavy has really stepped up their game. Bought some awesome pieces today that can be used in so many ways. Serious score!
I went to the Lancome Boutique yesterday for a makeover event they were having. I had a lovely time and tried on some great products, in particular I loved the Teint Idole foundation which gave my skin a very natural healthy finish!
Great giveaway!
C’mon Sephora gift card!! Momma needs some new eyeshadows!!
I celebrated my 29th birthday a couple of years ago with a Taylor Swift concert. There was a middle-aged man across the aisle from me who was really rocking out.
I had a relatively good hair day…I blow dryed it for once.
ive never been to a concert before 🙁
its on my bucket list.
I only went to two concerts last year, and it looks like this year I might not get to any! :\ I used to go several times a month.
I’m so frustrated with my current camera right now! Ughh!
Beautiful weekend 🙂 snow is almost everywhere
pick me karen 🙂
The last concert I went was Iris, a Romanian band
It was amazing!
I’m gonna color my hair today….yay…I’m gonna be a blondie :>
Merowr!
It has been a while since I have been to a concert.
I absolutely love your blog! Keep up the terrific work!
I love these random comments:))
You know that feeling… when you spend all morning fixing your hair, and when you ready it’s raining outside..
A Sunday with plenty of work (translation work, housework) awaits me! 🙂
Nope, I’ve never sung in front of a live audience. I actually had this conversation with some friends just yesterday – one of them sung Hilary Duff at a talent show, the other sang Nikki Webster, and when they asked me, I responded with “No, I’ve always had dignity” 😛
One concert 🙂 the boy band 5 lol
Well I’m 30 years old I have never been to a concert, now that I think about it I have no idea why sad isn’t it.
Im so excited I have a long weekend!!!
I hate homework.
The first concert I ever attended was Whitney Houston’s! Still can’t believe she is gone….
The last concert I went to was LMFAO. We danced the whole time, so it was lot better than just standing around! It didn’t even end that late — and I’m as Liz Lemony as you are, Karen! 🙂
The last concert I went to was arctic monkeys!
I love Ryan Gosling ….would love to hear him sing…I hear he’s in a band called Dead Man’s Bones 🙂
I’m so excited for President’s Day
I think my last concert was maybe, 3 years ago? I can’t really remember, LOL… I wasn’t really into makeup then.
Last time I went to a concert, I went to see Pierre Lapointe! (a very talented canadian singer)
Last concert I went to was Lady Gaga, my friend and I went all out with homemade costumes, wigs, and crazy makeup!
I think the last thing I went to was Lolla last year. My favorite acts to play were Eminem and The Foo Fighters 🙂
I want to go to a yanni concert soon 🙂
Excited to drink tea and enjoy the Winter weather we’re finally having! Hope you’re having a great weekend too!
Had the weekend to myself so I spent an afternoon with friends and then enjoyed a quiet house. Now I think I’ll start in on my manicure.
I’m about to get my hair done right now. Also, Sunday is mani day.
Time for the Red Wings game!
Last concert I went to was Lady Gaga last spring. I went with full party make-up, ie: a green lightning bolt across my face. It was FUN.
thanks Karen 🙂
I’m growing out my hair so I don’t expect to have another good hair day for about a year. A bang trim is in order though and that always helps!
My next concert is Celine Dion Live in Las Vegas! whoo! I’m taking my wife for her birthday 🙂 She loves Celine.
I haven’t sung in front on audience in years (probably middle school) but I do speak in front of people now, something I am more comfortable with than singing. 🙂
I would love to see Beyonce perform live !!!
i’d love to see black sabbath perform live 🙂
Lovely giveaway 🙂 I saw explosions in the sky last summer, but my favorite experience ever!
Definitely not having a good hair day. My bangs are sticking straight up and the rest is pulled into a crazy knotted bun. (Midterms).
Last concert I went to was Eric church! Can’t wait to see him again in march
It is Monday 3am now in Singapore. I love reading blogs at this godforsaken hour.
Loveeee all the pink lipstick swatches from the Vday post!
The hair is okay today. I just chopped off like three inches so I’m still getting used to shorter hair.
I am growing out a straight perm so my hair is half straight and half curly. Not good!
I slept with wet hair 😮 So it is a horrible hair day for me 🙁
Green skin is very complimentary to blue eyes.
Just saw Devil’s brigade play in Long Beach. Fun times!
I’ve been to a couple of concerts, done a bit of performing in my day (didn’t like it though).
i never see live music though i want to!!! the last time was when my husband took me out on a special date to a dueling piano bar.
The last concert I saw was OFWGKTA, it was awesome !
OH you make me want to run out and grab one the new MAC lip glosses. Now I have to get out of my PJs HAHA.
I can’t stand these wet grey days anymore, is it spring yet?
Last time I went to a concert it was for Katy Perry. My friend had an extra ticket and it turned out to be super fun! 🙂
Bad hair day here.
I haven’t been to a concert in years! I need to get out more often 🙂
Cheers to sunny days!
I’m procrastinating writing my paper by catching up on what I missed this week!
Woooo enjoying the long weekend 🙂
The last concert I attended was Gigantour at Madison Square Garden. 🙂
My last concert was Florence + the Machine in Kansas City, MO. She was phenomenal!
I made curried chicken for lunch and I’m about to mix up some mole!

I am so over winter right now!
I just spent the last 2 hours cutting my hair… it turned out pretty well…
sad the weekend is over…sunday night blues have kicked in 🙁
I went to the NKOTBSB concert!
The last time I went to a concert I was somewhere in my preteens or early teens. Sad to say but I mostly save my money for college right now.
I would love to win.
I’m having a surprisingly good hair day, my curls aren’t too crazy today.
I love Sephora! 😀
I wish I could go to BigBang concert.
I think my last concert was Lady Gaga… And yes, I definitely amped up the makeup!
Since getting married and having kids, I have only been to John Hiatt (hubby’s favorite) 3 times! Lucky for me, I like John Hiatt!
The last concert I went to was Trey Songs and Monica.
Can’t wait to see Walking Dead & Eastbound & Down tonight! Excited!
Enjoying the beautifully mild winter day. It’s been so long since I went to a concert I don’t remember the performer.
This was a very good weekend. First of all its a three day weekend, then to top it all off the kids are away! Peace and quiet! Finally! Just what mommy needed a little time to herself to pamper and primp. 🙂
I would love to win!
first concert ever – billy idol – and i got elbowed in the face. hardcore. 🙂
I have never worn a crazy makeup look out in public, but I have drawn lipstick hearts all over my face with my little sister!
It has been soooo long since I have been to a live show. Ugh – getting old. 😛
Thanks for the giveaway!
Pear tea yum!
I’ve been to a few shows at Yoshi’s in Oakland, great place!!
I just started my own beauty blog!
would love to start a beauty blog but have no idea how to do anything on a computer! 🙂
Ever since I got a fresh new haircut a couple wks ago, I’ve had a good hair day almost everyday! Love it!
I’m looking to pick up some new Clinique eyeliners this week–and maybe a couple of OPI nail polishes, too.
I used to sing in front of crowds a lot but I would get bad stage fright and I just decided it wasn’t worth the stress. Now I just sing around the house all the time.
The first concert I ever went to without my parents was Hanson – I went with my best friend at the time and we wore those giant Dr. Seuss hats because we wanted to sneak in a bag of Hershey Kisses. So ridiculous!
I’ve never been to a concert! maybe one day i will 🙂
hmm.. I’d LOVE to see either Coldplay or Lady Gaga live.
I’m going to see Red Hot Chili Peppers in June!
I shall not waste my day sleeping in tomorrow, will get up & go to the gym in the morning!
Last time I went to a concert was at Coachella. I fainted from the heat and was thrown over the crowd fencing to safety by my concerned and very clearly superhumanly strong sister, who hitched up her skirt to make it over the fence and showed the jumbotron her polka dot knickers.
Oh and the gorgeous Brandon Flowers had just appeared onstage at that moment to witness this hilarity going on below him. I would have died. Had I not been unconcious.
I want to go again this year, but really don’t know how I could ever top that:)
avril & evanescence recently had a concert here in manila (different dates) but neither of those i’ve seen! 😀 i would really love to see tswift in concert!
I’ve only sung in front of an audience in choir…never by myself. My voice is not the greatest though, so that’s a good thing 😀
You have a great bunch of readers, the comments always make me chuckle. 🙂
You should see if you have any local jazz festivals, we participated in tons in the pacific northwest when I was in high school!
The last concert I went to was Britney Spears last summer, it was so fun!
why, yes, i am having a nice hair day C:
I went to the Prince concert last year and it was the best EVER. Thanks for the giveaway
